Antique grandfather clocks are very individual in nature. This makes it difficult to estimate their value. Unlike homes there is no standard value guide for them.

The price is determined by the personal interest of the seller and buyer, and by the different market trends.

Sometimes the antique market seems to be interacting with the housing market. When the housing market is booming, the antique market goes up as well. This apparently happens, because there's more money in the consumers market for new homes and for interior design.

It is interesting to see that, although the antique market has been declining for some years, antique clocks are increasing in value and sales are still up.

There are many publications on the value of antique longcase clocks but these mostly are not current. These publications only cover the top end of the market which are the real high value timepieces. One of the best locations to find the current price for antique tallcase clocks is at your local shops and auctions.

Always use a professional appraiser who can usually tell you the prevailing price value of an antique tall case clock.
