Windmills, London to lower margin, the angles applied with twin cherub and crown spandrels with foliate scroll engraved infill to the plate between, the case decorated with floral and foliate marquetry and with caddy top over glazed hood door with turned columns flanking the aperture, with concave throat moulding and trunk door centred with a lenticle and decorated with three-shaped panels incorporating central bird amid flowers, on conforming plinth base with decorated shallow skirt. 232cm high excluding later finials, 49cm wide, 26.5cm deep Provenance: Acquired August 1919, 'A fine Wm & Mary long case clock with bird & flower marquetry panels'The life and work of Joseph Windmills and his successors is comprehensively documented in Neale, J.A. Joseph and Thomas Windmills Clock and Watch Makers 1671-1737. Joseph joined the Clockmakers' Company as a free Brother on 29th September 1671 - the same year that Joseph Knibb, Daniel Quare and Thomas Tompion also gained their freedom of the Company. He initially worked from Blow Bladder Street in St. Martins le Grand, London before moving to premises at 'Swan Court, Mark Lane End, next Tower Street' by April 1674 where the business remained. Joseph took his son, Thomas, as an apprentice who, after gaining his freedom in 1696, is thought to have immediately gone into business with his father; shortly after 1700 the firm became a partnership which lasted until Joseph's death in 1724. As a contemporary of Knibb, Quare and Tompion, Joseph Windmills would have had to compete with some of the finest clockmakers that have ever lived during a period of heightened scientific enlightenment. In this environment Windmills excelled, producing clocks of a quality that equalled many of his more famous peers. Condition Report: The movement is in working condition however is due for a gentle clean/service as lubrication is somewhat dry/gummy and the plates are a little tarnished with some oil staining. The escape wheel and arbor are 19th century 'service' replacements otherwise movement appears essentially all original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The centre movement pillar is not fitted with a latch all other latches are present. The dial plate retains old yellow lacquer surface which has mellowed/discoloured; it is a little dirty with a few spots of oxidation, the silvering is fairly heavily oxidised; the calendar ring is operational. The hands are replacements of incorrect design and size (with respect to the hour hand). The spandrels appear original and retain good strong gilding.The movement and dial retain the original seatboard which rests at the correct level within the case with no evidence of alteration confirming that the movement and dial are original to the case. The movement backplate has spare holes from a previous securing bracket which is no longer present - there are corresponding holes to the case backboard. The case has generally survived in original 'untouched' condition, The top board to the caddy superstructure, finials and blocks are 19th century replacements; and the 'box' beneath the caddy would have been faced with scroll-pierced fretwork which has bee substituted for a piece of dark veneer. The cornice frieze would have originally also been faced with fretwork - this has been replaced by a section of marquetry veneer which appears Dutch and most likely 'salvaged' from a piece of furniture. The hood door is in good condition; the hinges are unusual being externally mounted (to the right-hand side) however they appear original. The wooden column caps and bases conform with other known examples by Windmills; the lower right front is loose and also appears to be a later turning that the others. The crossgrain chin moulding to the left-hand side is missing a section around 6 ins in length. The rear of the caddy is open and was most likely originally closed with thick paper pasted over the aperture. The throat moulding has a small veneer chip to the rear left-hand edge and a small loss to the leading upper edge of the marquetry at the front otherwise are in good condition. The trunk door is straight with some slight springing to the edge moulding to top left-hand corner and some small localised losses to the marquetry (corresponding to slight movement in the carcass board clamp) towards the lower edge. The lock and hinges appear original and undisturbed. The sides of the trunk are in good condition - the left-hand side has a small veneer chip to the rear edge and evidence of some light historic worm infestation (long gone!). The right-hand side has some 'rubbing through' of the crossbanded veneer towards the front leading edge at the level of the lower door hinge. The plinth base is original and undisturbed retaining marquetry veneers in good original condition having only slight losses to the upper left-hand edge and towards the centre. The side veneers have horizontal shrinkage cracking (but are stable) and some historic worm damage. Unusually the clock retains its original skirting faced in marquetry. The design of the marquetry suggests that the skirt may have originally been taller, there are also veneer losses to the sides and some historic worm damage. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, bruises and wear commensurate with age and use. The surface/colour is particularly good and untouched with the marquetry having raised 'glue' texture around the various elements indicating that the finish is old. The backboard retains all of its origiginal height continuing all the way to the lower edge of the base.Clock is complete with pendulum, original brass-cased weights, door key and a winder.

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY BUREAU-CABINET ATTRIBUTED TO WRIGHT AND ELWICK, CIRCA 1770 The elaborate scrolled, beaded and foliate-carved pediment centred by a plinth and with foliate and pierced strapwork brackets above a concave cornice with foliage and pendant husks, the doors with reeded gothic arched and foliate astragal glazing and enclosing two shelves and three short drawers, above a stiff-leaf waist moulding, the cleated fall front with engraved brass shield-shaped escutcheon revealing a fitted interior with pigeon holes, drawers and concealed document drawers around a central sliding compartment with mirrored architectural interior, ebony and ivory parquetry floor with central boxwood stepped plinth and with further secret drawers behind, above two short and three long drawers with rope-twist cockbeading, on an associated foliate-carved plinth with ogee bracket feet, with a concealed, spring-loaded drawer to the right side waist moulding, restorations, perhaps with later embellishments 240cm high, 117cm wide, 64cm deep Provenance: H. Percy Dean, Esq. Acquired in 1909, 'A very fine Chippendale bureau bookcase with finely carved mouldings & pediment...,' Literature: P. MacQuoid, The Age of Mahogany, London, 1906, fig. 146The cabinet corresponds to designs published by Thomas Chippendale in the various editions of The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director. In particular the glazing pattern of gothic arches featured in a bookcase design of 1762, pl. CXVII, and was employed in the bookcase (probably one of four) supplied by around 1766 by Chippendale for Sir Rowland Winn's London house in St. James's Square (C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol. II, p.41, figs. 64 and 65), while the distinctive foot pattern corresponds closely to the design for a Desk & Bookcase (bureau-cabinet) that was first issued in the first edition of the Director, 1753, and again in the third edition, 1762, pl. CIX. The latter also featured a fret-carved panel between the upper doors and the flap which Chippendale noted `may be two drawers'; in the lot offered here a bank of conventional drawers are located behind the glazed doors, while a further shallow drawer is concealed behind the leaf mouldings on the right side. The swan-neck pediment with a central vase stand bears comparison with Chippendale's bookcase design also issued in the third edition of the Director as plate XCII. Chippendale's designs were celebrated and widely adopted by contemporaries and competitors. Among them were the Wakefield, Yorkshire, cabinet-makers and upholsterers Messrs Wright and Elwick, whose business was established in the 1750s and who became the pre-eminent furniture-makers in Yorkshire in the second half of the 18th century. Richard Wright was probably employed at, and may have directed the Soho tapestry manufactory in London before forming a partnership with Edward Elwick, furniture maker and designer, in Wakefield. Both were subscribers to the first edition of Thomas Chippendale's The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1753, and they went on to supply an enormous number of houses in Yorkshire including Wentworth Woodhouse, Wentworth Castle, Temple Newsam House, Cusworth Hall, Cannons Hall and Burton Constable; they likely also worked at Nostell Priory since Chippendale referred in correspondence (in disparaging fashion) to `the Ingenious Mr. Elwick'. Their furniture often aligns closely with Chippendale's designs but with additional or more elaborate and idiosyncratic carving, as noted in Christie's catalogue for the sale of furniture from Wentworth Woodhouse, London, 8 July 1998, and elsewherePlease note, Dreweatts have applied for a de minimis exemption licence for the ivory in this lot (X4CGM12C) Condition Report: Overall in good condition, clean and structurally secure with dents marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks due to age and use. There are some minor old losses and repairs to the carving, for example to the carving of the door astragals. To the upper section there are minor marks to the right (as you view the cabinet) upright where door hinge screws were too long and disturbed the front surface. There are also minor blemishes around the escutcheon and an old door knob has been removed below the escutcheon. Patched repair to veneers to the lower member of the right door and the central division- well executed and well blended. The concealed side drawer released by a button on the right internal drawer. To the lower section, the fall front has a horizontal shrinkage split, the engraved escutcheon probably added. The fretted spandrels to the pigeon holes probably added. The central cabinet with mirrored interior released by a catch in its 'ceiling'. The interior of the pull-out section and the parquetry panel in front of it apparently original. Many of the small internal drawers with loose bottom boards. To the reverse are eight drawers concealed behind a sliding panel. There are patched repairs/replacement to veneers on the drawer divisions and the uprights. Drawer locks apparently replaced. The plinth a feet are a slightly lighter colour but the extravagant and idiosyncratic carving seems consistent with the remainder of the cabinet. Feet secure and with sturdy (apparently original) blocks behind). Minor old repairs to swan neck pediment. Overall a handsome and imposing cabinet, the quality of carving throughout is excellent.Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE II OAK BOOKCASE MID-18TH CENTURY The moulded dentil cornice above a pair of glazed doors enclosing three shelves, the base with fielded panelled doors, on bracket feet, the glass apparently largely original 225cm high, 120cm wide, 40cm deep Condition Report: Overall in good condition, clean and structurally secure with a good dry and faded surface overall. There is general wear and tear consistent with age and use, dents, marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks. As noted the glass appears to be largely original, the metalwork old but probably not original, the locks likely replaced. Feet apparently original. The shelves reconfigured, they have a double-D moulded fore-edge and are almost certainly original but they have been moved (sawn through at the sides and the redundant rebates filled), there remain three shelves in the upper section, one in the lower section (the second shelf now missing). They are apparently extended at the back edges by an inch or so. There is a strip of veneer banding (front to back) to top of both sides of the base, to the left side this is lifting slightly. There is a repair to the cornice return on the left side. Some backboards replaced. Otherwise in good and ready-to use condition, a good functional cabinet in restrained George II taste.

A GEORGE I OAK BOOKCASE EARLY 18TH CENTURY With a shallow moulded cornice above two pairs of glazed doors, the upper section with fixed shelves and originally with vertical divisions forming pigeon holes, possibly now re-backed, the lower section with adjustable shelves, on later bracket feet, the glass apparently largely original 202cm high, 142cm wide, 40cm deep Condition Report: Overall in good clean condition, structurally secure and with general wear and tear. There are the inevitable minor dents marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks. As noted the glass apparently largely original. The feet look good and may be original (contrary to lot description), both back feet with repairs, the lower parts of both replaced, all feet may be slightly re-shaped, they are certainly re-blocked. The right side return waist moulding replaced, there is a narrow fillet of wood to right edge of back of top section (presumably to make up shrinkage). Each side of the upper section originaslly with two vertical divisions forming pigeon holes, the remaining shelves and divisions seemingly original. The lower section with adjustable shelves. An apparently very honest cabinet with great colour and patina and charming details including the small swing catch that secures the doors. Condition Report Disclaimer

There are inevitable minor dents marks and scratches. The satinwood is slightly sun-faded overall with a beautiful mellow colour. The oval door panels have suffered shrinkage but crucially the y have not split, there are consequently small gaps around their edges where they have pulled away from the door frames. There is additionally minor shrinkage in the angles joints of the doors. There are old repaoirs to all the feet, including a few minor veneer repairs. The slides in the upper section now lost, the interior is material-lined and with a hanging rail. There are (apparently, hidden by the lining) two redundant mortices in the insides of each side, presumably where a shelf was fitted. The ivory escutcheon to right door now missing.
