CHIPPENDALE CHERRY TALL CASE CLOCK BY PEREGRINE WHITE, WOODSTOCK, CT.

Late 18th century. Very fine well known example by this rare early Connecticut maker made for Benjamin Edmunds as engraved on dial. The bonnet with arched top and pierced fret work alternating with flame finials on pediments flanked by free standing columns. Columns have original brass capitols and bases. The waisted case with molded arch door flanked by angled fluted pilasters with lambs tongue chamfers at top and bottom. Throat and base moldings are of bold design and base section has an applied frieze of tombstones at top on front and sides raised on ogee bracket feet. There is a sounding hole at the top of backboard which appears original. Movement is correct for this case, signed “Peregrine White / Woodstock”, in the arch with a foliate and engraved round border. Movement is 8 day brass plate time and striking on a bell with silvered sheet brass engraved dial. It has a calendar aperture and recessed subsidiary seconds dial. Engraving on dial features sprigs of foliage in the arch flanked by armorial dog heads, with spandrels that are geometric with meandering vines and foliate devices at lower corners. Subsidiary seconds dial has a compass rose, below calendar aperture is a fleur-de-lis device below which is engraved in florid script “For Benjamin Edmunds”. Surface of silvered dial is appealing but has been cleaned since publication in “Connecticut Clock Makers of the 18th Century”, by Penrose R. Hoopes, published 1930. Clock is accompanied by pendulum, winder, two door keys, two cast-iron weights and three finials. Also accompanied by research documents relating to Peregrine White, including genealogy of the Benjamin Edmonds family, a 1995 appraisal of the clock done for the previous owner, photos of clock and of Peregrine White’s grave, etc. SIZE: 92″ t x 20″ w (at bonnet) x 9-1/2″ d.
