Clock Restoration

We have extensive facilities for the restoration of antique clocks.

Long case clocks and Bracket clocks, have always been the largest part of our work, but Lantern clocks are now begining to take over. We also repair French, Vienna, Carriage and Turret clocks. We will consider repairing almost any mechanical and some electrical clocks.

Some of the jobs undertaken recently are as follows:-

  1)Work on a very rare Quarter Striking Lantern Clock of approximately 1640. Details of the restoration of this clock and history of the maker can be found here. Knifton Quarter Striking Lantern Clock
