Antique Grandfather Clocks and Paul Janes:

Hello, my name is Paul and I’ve been restoring and selling antique Grandfather clocks from my shop in Devon for over 30 years.

My love of Grandfather (or Longcase) clocks started out when I saw an
advert for an oak and mahogany ‘Moonphase’ Grandfather clock that
needed a lot of love and attention. I got in my car and travelled all the way
to Dartmouth and bought it. Within 4 months I had completely restored it
and from that moment I was hooked on their beauty and majesty.

I have over 50 Grandfather Clocks in stock at any time and each one has
been lovingly restored and brought back to it’s original beauty.

Please feel free to contact me with any question you have about antique
Grandfather (Longcase) clocks.

The Grandfather or Longcase clock, for someone that wants something a little ‘bit different’ in their home or workplace.

The oldest Grandfather clock I have in my shop in Devon is a majestic seventeenth century ‘Marquetry’, the newest is a Victorian ‘8-bells’ example.

The ‘Longcase’ or ‘Grandfather’ clock, as it is popularly called is arguably the most interesting and at the same time the most useful antique available to the collector.

The Grandfather clock is unique amongst mechanical devices in that, despite the most exciting requirements of modern life, it still fulfills it’s purpose adequately three centuries after its invention!

The durability of this magnificent item is also remarkable. What other machine has a working life measured in ‘centuries’ of running time?

Grandfather or Longcase clocks were first made in England during the second half of the seventeenth century and they were made in ever increasing numbers during the eighteenth century.
