George III brass mounted figured mahogany table clock by Perigal, London

This George III table or bracket clock is housed in a figured mahogany case with brass mounts. The clock stands 36 cm high, 26 cm wide, and 18.5 cm deep, featuring a break-arch top with a hinged brass carrying handle and a cavetto moulded skirt base on brass ogee feet.

It includes a full-width hinged front door with glazed dial aperture and glazed arched side windows, with a matching rear door. The 6-inch brass break-arch dial features a silvered Roman numeral chapter ring, floating asterisk half-hour markers, and Arabic five-minute indicators. The center of the dial holds a silvered boss inscribed "Perigal, BOND ST.". The movement is a five-pillar twin fusee bell striking type with verge escapement and a disc bob pendulum with sprung suspension.

The symmetrical foliate scroll-engraved backplate is notable for its detailed floral spray ornamentation. The dial is complemented by gilt plumed female mask and scroll-cast spandrels, and a silvered Strike/Silent selection ring in the arch.
