P. A. Oxley specialise in fully restored antique longcase clocks, which are sometimes referred to as grandfather clocks. We have been established since 1971.
We always try to keep in stock a good cross section of longcase clock styles which are of 8 day or month duration. Most cases are either oak, mahogany, walnut, ebonised or marquetry veneered in their appearance. Depending on the age of the particular clock, longcase clock dials are either painted, brass or silvered with features such as moonphase, strike/silent, automata, seconds and date.
A large selection of mercurial stick and wheel barometers are also available to view from the 18th & 19th centuries along with antique bracket clocks & wall clockss. All of our longcase clocks, barometers, bracket clocks and wall clocks can either be viewed on our website, which is updated regularly, or at our Galleries in Wiltshire.
Only the most skilful and experienced specialists work on our antique clocks and barometers when necessary, and do so to the highest standards. Longcase clocks are delivered by our own vehicles in the UK free of charge, together with an installation expert who will ensure that your clock is properly commissioned. All longcase clock, bracket, wall clock and barometer purchases are guaranteed for twelve months.
Our opening hours are from 9.30am - 5.00pm every day except Wednesday & Sunday. At all other times please contact us for an appointment.
We are a member of LAPADA, The Association of Art and Antique Dealers, which is the UK's largest association of professional dealers in antiques and works of art.
