Our Story

There's nothing more comforting than to hear the chimes of my grandfather clock as it welcomes the new hour.  It makes me feel at home...I've had my clock for over 25 years and treasure it, intending to pass it down to my son, starting a family heir-loom.

If you've ever been in the market for a grandfather clock, there is a shop just on the outskirts of Bellevue, in Pegram...a sort of family Heirloom itself, The Harpeth Clock & Quilt Company.  The minute you walk through the doors you can hear the chiming of hundreds of assorted clocks from Grandfather, Cuckoo and now the majestic Rhythm clocks, clocks for every room imaginable.  The telling of time never had it so good.  The quality of their clocks is seen in the remarkable craft and workmanship, the rich cherry or oak, the solid brass...the sounds of the angelic chimes, music to the ears.  There are wall clocks and mantle clocks, priced to fit every budget.

Besides the magnificent collection of clocks; we carry an enormous assortment of trinkets; "Margaret's Treasures."  Margaret Murray, the owner, has collected exquisite Baldwin and Virginia Metalcrafters Brass and 3 types of sparkling Crystal.  Curios can be filled with keepsakes like the "Growing up Birthday Girl" collection.  Every little girl would admire the beautiful porcelain figurines depicting their uniqueness, a collectable for every birthday.  Then there are original Aladdin lamps, in electric or kerosene.  They come in every size and color with custom globes.

Margaret Murray, "Mrs. Margaret" and her husband, W R Murray built and opened their store in 1977.  Mr. Murray, after a 40-year career at Cain Sloan's Department store, decided to provide this wonderful shop for the community.  One can tell...time, attention and pride goes into every selection offered.  Mrs. Margaret has taken her love for sewing and provides a wide selection of fabric and notions.  She has personally made aprons in assorted styles and bright colors that go over your best clothes, keeping you neat while cooking and ready to rush off to church or an evening out.  She is an accomplished quilt-maker, which can be seen in their lovely array of beautiful quilts.  Classes  are often held in her shop.  She is looking for another teacher to teach the art of quilting; if you want to share your time-honored talent, give her a call.

Successful businesses often find dedicated employees.  There are 3 men and  women who work together to provide you the best in customer care and service.  There is Mr. Charlie Spears, who works on Thursday, Friday and Saturday with Reba Edlin.  Mr. Spears also specializes in custom stain-glass pieces.  Keith Rimner and Ray DeSilvis are master repair technicians:  Ray is in the shop and Keith travels within a hundred mile radius doing clock repair and maintenance.  Dorthy Soloman and Betty Zupa head the Monday-Wednesday crew and Linda Petty is a wonderful fill-in when someone has to be away.

Harpeth Clock & quilt Company is open Monday-Saturday, 9-5.  There's a big sale going on...stop by and meet the crew and Mrs. Margaret!  If you like treasure hunts, you'll love this store...
