Congratulations! You have reached the online antique grandfather clocks (longcase, tallcase)  website of Coppelia Antiques and Pendulum of Mayfair Ltd.  We deal in the finest range of affordable,  genuine 17/18/19th century antique longcase, tallcase, grandfather, english regulator, bracket, wall and carriage clocks, all restored sympathetically to the very highest of standards. The standards we feel are unmatched anywhere in the world.

Buying antique grandfather clocks is like walking in a minefield, quoting from Memoirs of a Diplomat (1895) Gladstone, '...but Sir Thomas, antiques don't lie - only sellers do, either deliberately for profit or through ignorance...'

To buy antiques of any sort, you have two problems.

1. You need to visit someone who understands the subject matter, the greater knowledge the better.

2. You then have to trust the person who you are buying from.

The Managing Director, Mr. Roy Clements interest in antique grandfather clocks started from the early age of 13 (1953) when he  helped his father restore antique grandfather clock movements in his spare time. Ever since  then he has loved everything mechanical and was one of the reasons why a few years later he studied mechanical engineering at University. He loves the subject matter; and keeps his own very fine collection of antique grandfather clocks. It has proved helpful being a qualified engineer BSc.Mech.E.C.Eng., in understanding the antique grandfather clock mechanisms.  In 1995, together with his long-standing friend, Dr. Hermann Specht, they decided to expand into London's Mayfair. Mr. Clements is called upon to vet for authenticity antique clocks at antique fairs in the U.K., U.S. and Germany and was the antique clocks editor of the worldwide respected Millers Antiques Price Guide to 1984. Pendulum of Mayfair has also been featured in national newspapers including the Sunday Times and our antique grandfather, longcase, tallcase clocks have been featured many times on national tv programs. Dr Specht is the senior member of BDKA (the antique dealers association for Northern Germany) All our antique clocks are sold with a money back guarantee that they are genuine and fully restored.

It is impossible to buy antique clocks unless you feel them, touch them, smell them, or know somebody that has. All over the world we have many very happy customers, who love their antique clocks. For the last 30 years as well as the joy they have brought to their owners, they have been appreciating in value at a steady rate.

Please note quality original antique clocks are disappearing fast, so why not visit our shop in Mayfair, LONDON, before it is too late. Pendulum also works together with Pendulum Hamburg at Maria-Louisen-StraBe 5,  22301 Hamburg Tel: (0049) 404 86214. Owner Dr. Hermann Specht

Pendulum's parent company Coppelia Antiques situated in Cheshire, has now been established over 30 years; it is a family antique clocks business, owned by Valerie and Roy Clements. Their two sons work in the business full time. Duncan is the manager of the antique clock shop in London and deals with all accounting matters. Daniel runs the northern side of operations including the clock workshop and runs the purchasing side of the antique clocks business. The third brother, Adrian is a medical doctor and consults on all health and safety matters within the antique clock business.  No house is the same without a genuine antique grandfather clock.  In my opinion you will not find a larger, more genuine, collection of high quality antique grandfather,longcase,tallcase,bracket and wall clocks in the UK. Walk into our central London showroom and you will be amazed at every turn.  We do not exhibit all our antique clocks on the website, so if you require something that is not listed please ask. At our shop in London and our premises in Cheshire, we have some special 18th/19th century English Regulator clocks with mercury or other forms of compensated pendulums. These antique clocks can be accurate to within seconds a week.

All our staff work closely together with a great experienced team of employees to provide a friendly warm environment to all our customers. We do not sub-contract work to unaccountable third parties. Your antique clock purchased from ourselves has to give good service.  We export antique grandfather, longcase, tallcase clocks and other antique clocks and furniture to all parts of the world. At the moment about 85% of sales are to the USA. We can put you in touch with a very high quality shipping company that specializes in shipping these types of clocks, door to door.
