Description

In The 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries there were a number of Clockmakers with the name Read. Both in the UK and over in the USA.

This Smart Good Quality Clock was made by William Read of Buntingford Hertfordshire England. Circa 1791.

Later at Buntingford, there was Richard Read Circa 1828-39 and another William (II) Circa 1839-74.

The Enamelled Dial Also Carries the Name of its Owner - C. IVEY of Limehouse.

Over the Centuries there have been a number of C. Iveys living around the Limehouse - Shoreditch area of London. The Iveys seem to have been a prominent family. Limehouse being near to the London Docks, the Ivey Family may well have been Sailors and Traded with the States.

With Clockmakers emigrating to the States, Is this how a Clock from a Buntingford Clockmaker Found its way to Limehouse and the Ivey Family?

Eitherway, Over the Years both the Case and the Movement Have Been Much Loved, Well Cared For & Maintained.

The Case is only 81 3/16th inches (under 6ft 10in) or 206.3cm High and Will Suit Many Different House Styles and Sizes. It is in Good Sound Condition in English Oak which has Attractive Graining and Attractive Hand Made Radial Oval Inlay.

The 8 Day Movement Strikes the Hours on a Crisp Clear Bell. Check & Tested - Good Working Order with Seconds Dial and Date Window.

Longcase clocks, commonly known as grandfather clocks, evolved during the late 17th century and became widespread throughout the Georgian era, serving as both precise timekeepers and status symbols in wealthy households.

They were typically constructed from native timbers such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring hand-carved details, brass or painted dials, and intricate weight-driven pendulum movements housed within a tall wooden case.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the dovetail joints, hand-cut screws, movement markings that match the makers recorded timeline, and the natural ageing and patina of the wood.

Such pieces function well as architectural focal points in hallways or living spaces, providing vertical balance and contrasting textures against contemporary minimalist backgrounds.

They require stable environmental conditions away from direct sunlight and radiators, regular professional mechanical servicing, and occasional treatment with suitable furniture wax to maintain the wood finish.
