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.
