Why Ridgeway Clocks Are Still Valued
Ridgeway clocks remain prized by collectors and families alike because they combine timeless design with reliable mechanism craftsmanship. Established in the 1920s and known as one of America’s oldest continuously produced grandfather clock brands, Ridgeway clocks often feature elegant cases, rich wood finishes, and chime options that reflect a lifetime of use and heirloom potential. Their blend of historical significance, functionality, and aesthetic appeal ensures they continue to be valued both as decorative centerpieces and mechanical keepsakes.
Ridgeway Clock History (Summary)
The Ridgeway Clock Company traces its roots to the Gravely Furniture Company in the 1920s, when American consumers sought quality heirloom clocks that complemented traditional home décor. Gravely began making its now-iconic Ridgeway grandfather clocks, and by the 1960s the company focused exclusively on these classic floor clocks that became emblematic of timeless American design. In 1985, Pulaski Furniture Corporation acquired Ridgeway, expanding its furniture offerings and introducing Ridgeway clocks to a broader market. In 2004, the Howard Miller Clock Company — another long-established American clockmaker — purchased Ridgeway, preserving its identity while integrating superior movements and manufacturing practices. Today, Ridgeway grandfather clocks continue to be produced under Howard Miller’s stewardship, marrying classic style with reliable performance.

Caring for a Ridgeway Clock
Ridgeway clocks often feature weight-driven or cable-driven movements that require careful servicing to maintain accuracy and chime function. Professional care includes cleaning and lubricating the movement, adjusting chime sequences, ensuring proper pendulum operation, and checking for wear in mechanical parts. Since many Ridgeway clocks have been in service for decades, expert servicing helps preserve both their mechanics and collectible value for future generations.
