Barraud and Lunds was the final iteration of one of the best clockmaking firms in 19th century Britain. Founded in 1838 when the clockmaking dynasty of Barrauds was joined by John Richard Lund to form Barrauds and Lund. In 1869 Lunds two sons John Alexander and Arthur Jackson Lund joined the firm it became Barraud and Lunds and is known to have been operating from 14 Bishopsgate street 1870. The company was dissolved in 1902 with the death of John Alexander Lund, dating this clock to within this 32 year period. The company was known for its high quality precision timepieces of which this is an excellent example.
