Antique R. Whiting Grandfather Clock
Item Details
An antique R. Whiting grandfather clock, circa 1810, Federal period. The early 19th century clock rests on a pedestal base. The waist door allows easy access to the weights inside with a pierced hole to the center for viewing the pedulum. The glass paneled door to the top opens to reveal a hand painted wooden dial. The dial reads, “R. Whiting, Winchester” in a gold banner positioned across the center. The time ring is displayed in black script numbers. Riley Whiting and two partners started a clock-making company in Winchester, Connecticut in 1807. Whiting mainly manufactured 30-hour wooden-movement and tall-case clocks until 1828. Clock is not currently working.
