Our Showrooms

Our extensive collection is beautifully displayed in four showrooms in historic surroundings. Here you can examine a wide range of longcase (grandfather) clocks, bracket/table clocks, carriage clocks, wall clocks, and barometers.

We usually have several pieces available that were made well over 250 years ago. All are guaranteed to be original and genuine.

We will be happy to discuss your particular requirements. Only the most skilful, experienced specialists work on P. A. Oxley's clocks and barometers when necessary, and do so to the highest standards.

Each member in our team of independent, professional, craftsmen is dedicated to restoring cases, movements and dials with the utmost care and attention. Their painstaking work brings back the original character of each element.

This attention to detail enhances the intrinsic beauty of the whole piece without detracting from its age.

A Leading Specialist

P. A. Oxley is a leading specialist in quality
British 17th, 18th and 19th century antique clocks and barometers.

For Michael Oxley, formerly managing director of a public company that was concerned with developing time machines for contemporary businesses, an interest in historic timepieces was hardly out of place.

He and his wife, Patricia, bought and restored their first longcase clock in 1968, and within two years established P.A. Oxley Antique Clocks.

They moved into the Old Rectory at Cherhill in 1978. The business is now one of the largest of its kind, having an excellent international reputation, and supplying collectors and connoisseurs throughout the United Kingdom and overseas.

Visitors are welcome at our showrooms in a converted coach house, which was built in 1843 at the same time as the adjacent Old Rectory. A new showroom was added in 1988.

We do not exhibit at antique fairs, preferring to care for our pieces and display them to best advantage at Cherhill.

P. A. Oxley 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.
