This attractive clock was produced during the very brief partnership of Gamaliel Bradford Whiting and Isaac Marquand. Two other clocks from this partnership are known, one is in the Garvan collection at Yale University, this clock makes a third documented example. The cherry case has a pleasing color and a regional splat form fret. The silvered two-part sheet brass dial is beautifully engraved with garland and floral spandrels. The dial is engraved with the maker's name and locale within a floral garland in the lunette "Whiting & Marquand / Fairfield". The waist has reeded and canted sides and rests on ogee bracket feet with double returns.
