Investment in Antiques
Antique furniture prices, including Longcase Grandfather clocks , have outstripped the
stock market in the past 30 years. In 33 years of the antique furniture index, prices
have consistently risen faster than house prices in the South East, excluding London.
Some people take the view that owning an antique clock is really only preserving it
as an investment for future generations so that the owner is really a 'keeper'. The
cherished Longcase Grandfather clocks on this site have by now passed through many generations
of people - most are in excess of 200 years old , many circa 250 years of age and some
getting on for 300 years. It is interesting to speculate what historical events they
have witnessed in their long lives.
Antiques are very personal and investment is most enjoyable when it is in something
which gives visible pleasure . Longcase Grandfather clocks are tipped as among the best
value for investment purposes available and represent one of the most desirable possessions
for people who appreciate the presence, beauty and craftsmanship of an old grandfather
clock and enjoy the soothing tick they bring to the home.
