Antique American Clocks
Riley Whiting column & splat shelf clock, 1828-1835.
Mr. Whiting died in 1835 and
his business eventually became the Gilbert Clock Co.
This 30-inch shelf clock has had extensive renovation:
splat is modern, possibly the pineapple finials, both glasses are replacements, the tablet repainted.
The half-columns on the
sides have been stripped of their bronzing; the minute hand is too short.
The 30-hour wooden movement has been cleaned and will
run and strike; there are no weights with this clock, but a set of weights that will work are listed in Parts (item 907).
is a chip out of the door, upper left, and a toe is missing on the right foot; the top of the eagle wing on the splat was broken off
and reglued.
The label was wallpapered over but later uncovered.
