Paul Kembery of Kembery Antique Clocks, a long-established family business, says that at IACF Shepton Mallet, his best-sellers are wall clocks, watches and carriage clocks. “Barographs and barometers have also sold well,” he adds.
“We did have a retail shop in Bath for many years but now sell at fairs and online. We restore antique clocks for museums and the National Trust and in 2011 we were honoured to restore a clock and a barometer for two royal households.”
