A SCOTTISH MAHOGANY FRAMED WALL CLOCK BY JAMES IVORY, DUNDEE LATE 18TH CENTURY the circular silvered dial with single train movement, inscribed JAMES IVORY/ DUNDEE, within a circular moulded case 40cm diameter, 14 cm deep Note: James Ivory (1729-1793) is probably the best known clock maker from Dundee in the 18th century. Apprenticed in London he returned to Dundee to set up what turned out to be a successful if not a large business. His output covered all types of clocks from pocket watches to the clock in St Andrews Parish Church in Dundee - still going to this day. His output was not prolific as he didn't employ a lot of staff and he was very much hands on in the workshop as well as at the front counter. He did produce a few watches and clocks whilst I London and signed pieces with London are well sought after. As well as a clock and watch maker he was a particularly competent engraver and this is shown by the individuality of decoration of his timepieces. The parts often made by hand in Dundee rather than 'bought in' There are various references to his work in many of the standard works on horology
