About us

Jester Antiques is a well established business set up by Peter Bairsto and Lorna Coles. They have both been in the antique clock trade for many years; their experience is reflected in their careful selection of stock. Personal service is Jester’s philosophy and they are always happy to search out special pieces on request.

The shop is based in the charming market town of Tetbury, in the fine Gloucestershire countryside of the Cotswolds. Almost equidistant from Bath, Bristol and Cheltenham, the town’s elegant Georgian and earlier architecture, large number of listed buildings and mediaeval street names have all contributed to Tetbury's designation as an Outstanding Area of Conservation.

Jester's friendly shop is open Wednesday to Friday 10am - 4pm, Saturday 10am - 5pm.
