Small Bracket or Table Clock by Perigal of London. Having a Mahogany Case and Silvered Dial. circa 1790.

18th century

For Sale by M. C. Taylor

Description

A simple but extremely attractive table clock of diminutive size by a good maker.

The eight day duration, double gut fusee movement now with Anchor Recoil escapement. Rack striking the hours on a top mounted bell and made with the facility to pull repeat (now removed).

Behind only a 5" wide, silvered brass, break-arch dial that is engraved and wax-filled. The chapter ring has outer, Arabic 5's, divided minute track and inner, Roman hour numerals. The arch bears the maker's signature "Perigal" (of) "Coventry Street, LONDON" in fine script. The matching 'spade' hands are of blued steel.

In a small, flame mahogany veneered case of superb colour, patination and originality. The break-arch top has a cast brass, swinging, carrying handle and the sides have rectangular brass, silk-backed, 'fishscale' sound frets. Both full-size glazed doors have their original and working locks, the front door has quadrant brass framing around the glass. The case is largely plain in appearance but has excellent top and lower mouldings. The short plinth sits upon four small, cast brass, Ogee shaped feet.

* John Perigal of Coventry Street was a member of the famous Perigal clockmaking family. He was apprenticed in 1770 and a member of the Clockmakers Company from 1781 until 1800.

** The appearance of this clock is stunning. Apart from the 'improvement' of conversion to Anchor Recoil escapement from Verge, it is absolutely original. It is very unusual to see such a small and attractive 8 day duration clock of this era.

Dimensions: 11/2" high excluding the handle x 8 3/4" wide x 6 1/2" deep.

Condition: The dial and case are superb. The going train is running but the movement is in need of repair.

Price: The price is for the clock in its current condition. Any repairs and reinstating the Verge escapement will incur further costs which will be advised upon application.

A Georgian bracket clock is a spring-driven portable timepiece developed in eighteenth-century Britain, traditionally constructed with a timber case, carrying handle, and decorative brass mounts.

Clocks from this period commonly utilised flame mahogany or walnut casing, cast brass handles and feet, silk-backed fretwork panels, and engraved brass or silvered metal dials.

Authentic period examples feature hand-engraved maker signatures on the dial or movement, fusee mechanical movements, hand-cut brass gears, and natural age-related patination on the timber casing.

A bracket clock functions well as a focal point placed centrally on a modern fireplace mantelpiece, within a structured bookshelf arrangement, or atop a hallway console table.

Maintain the timber casing by wiping with a dry cloth and applying beeswax sparingly, keep the unit away from direct heat sources, and ensure the mechanical movement is serviced every five years by a qualified horologist.
