    We have an extensive collection of fine antique clocks for sale from our showroom in Lewes.

Showroom

Currently, the Lewes showrooms are open Tuesday to Friday 10am till 3.30pm and Saturdays 10am till 1pm (Or By Appointment).

We have two large showrooms in which to display our clocks. The Banquet room at the rear of the building is panelled and has on display our fine collection of early English lantern clocks. At the other end of this room is our extensive library with many of our favourite reference books; a few of which are for sale and available for students undertaking research. If you want to email us with any enquiries, please do so. If you’re coming a long distance, please call first.

Lantern clocks

We have always specialised in good early English Lantern Clocks from the early 17thC pre-pendulum era right through to the end of the century. We have held two Catalogued Exhibitions of some truly exceptional pieces over the last 15 years. We also have a few good examples of early Lantern Clocks on display which are not on our website, so do phone us for details. Conservation work on Lantern Clocks is also undertaken for customers, many of whom come from all over the world.

Restoration

We undertake restoration of antique clocks for customers from all over the country. Both the clocks that are for sale, and our customers clocks are sympathetically conserved or restored as appropriate, by skilled and experienced clockmakers in our large 18th century workshop beneath the Galleries in Lewes. All the clocks are given a long guarantee and customers are welcome to visit the workshop to see the work as it progresses to completion.
