History of the E. Ingraham Antique Clock

The E. Ingraham & Co. antique clock is a fine example of 19th and early 20th-century American clockmaking. Known for their precision and durability, these clocks were crafted with high-quality materials, featuring ornate wooden cases, brass movements, and elegant dials. The dials are typically made of painted metal or porcelain, and adorned with Roman or Arabic numerals. Many Ingraham clocks were designed with eight-day mechanical movements, meaning they needed winding only once a week, making them a practical and reliable choice for households.

The E. Ingraham & Co. was founded by Elias Ingraham, a renowned clockmaker, in Bristol, Connecticut, in 1831. The company became one of the leading American clock manufacturers, known for its innovative designs and high-quality timepieces. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Ingraham clocks were widely distributed across the U.S. and internationally, gracing homes, offices, and public spaces.

Elias Ingraham himself was a talented designer and inventor, credited with pioneering several case styles and decorative techniques, including the arched-top clock case and unique pressed-wood patterns. The company was officially incorporated as The E. Ingraham Company in 1884, and it continued producing clocks well into the 20th century, adapting to new trends and technologies such as electric movements in later years.

Today, E. Ingraham antique clocks are highly collectible, admired for their craftsmanship, historical significance, and timeless appeal. Whether fully restored or preserved in original condition, these clocks serve as elegant reminders of America’s rich clockmaking heritage.
