A Regency mahogany precision longcase clock of one month duration with moonphase George Hancock, Midsomer Norton, early 19th century The substantial five-pillar rack and bell striking movement with tall shouldered plates, five-wheel trains, deadbeat escapement and wide-jaw pendulum suspension for the steel-rod pendulum with large lenticular bob, the 13 inch single sheet silvered brass Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds and calendar dials and signed George Hancock, MidsummÕr Norton to the delicate leafy swag engraved centre within chapter ring with Arabic quarters to outer track, the angles with conforming rosette and swag decoration beneath arch with rolling moonphase calibrated with THE MOONS AGE to upper border and engraved with marine landscapes to lunettes, in a break-arch top case with Corinthian columns to hood above shaped ebony line inlaid panel to throat over rectangular caddy moulded trunk door with conforming shaped-panel decoration and flanked by Corinthian quarter columns to trunk, on plinth base with shallow moulded skirt, 203cm (80ins) high. George Hancock is recorded in Moore A.J. THE CLOCKMAKERS OF SOMERSET 1650-1900 as working in Midsomer Norton in 1828 and 1839, Moore suggests that he may have also later worked in Frome where a maker with the same name is recorded at various addresses from 1839 to 1853. The movement of the current lot is robustly built with accuracy in mind suggesting that it was built as a special order for a particularly discerning client.

A George III mahogany eight-day longcase clock with moonphase John Smith, Chester, circa 1780 The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with 13.5 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and calendar aperture to the foliate scroll engraved centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track and female mask and scroll applied spandrels to angles, beneath arch with rolling moonphase calibrated for age of the moon to edge of disc and with foliate engraved lunettes, the upper edge of the arch signed JOHN SMITH CHESTER to an applied curved plate, the swan neck pedimented case with reeded columns to hood above trunk with swollen frieze to throat over shaped-top caddy moulded flame figured door flanked by fluted quarter columns, on raised panel fronted plinth base with canted angles and shallow mounded skirt, 229cm (90ins) high.

A George III mahogany eight-day longcase clock with moonphase Peter Fearnley, Wigan, circa 1780 The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with 14 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and sweep calendar hand to the fine Ho-Ho bird inhabited foliate scroll engraved centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with calendar to inside edge and Arabic five minutes to outer track, the angles applied with foliate scroll cast spandrels beneath arch with rolling moonphase calibrated for age of the moon to edge of disc and with lunettes applied with pierced and engraved decoration incorporating text TIME IS VALUABLE, the upper edge of the arch signed PETER FEARNLEY WIGAN to an applied curved plate, the swan neck pedimented case with central upstand and gilt leafy scroll decorated verre eglomise infill above ring-turned columns to hood, the trunk with blind fret collar above shaped-top caddy moulded flame figured door flanked by fluted quarter columns, on raised panel fronted plinth base with canted angles and shallow mounded skirt, 235cm (92.5ins) high. Peter Fearnley is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as born circa 1749, he married Ann Lawson (from a fellow Wigan clockmaking family) in 1776 and died 1826. The current lot is a classic example of FearnleyÕs work with details such as the engraved dial centre and fine applied decoration to the lunettes of the arch only seen on his best work.

A rare Welsh George II parquetry banded walnut eight-day longcase clock with moonphase William Charles, Chepstow, circa 1745 The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with 11.75 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and applied arched silvered nameplate signed Will. Charles, Chepstow to the symmetrical Ho-Ho bird inhabited foliate scroll engraved centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, the angles applied with twin bird and urn cast spandrels beneath rolling moonphase calibrated for age of the moon and high tide times to outer edge, the upper border with applied arched plate engraved HIGH WATER AT CHEPSTOW BRIDGE, the break-arch case with moulded cornice and blind fret frieze above parquetry strung hood door with three-quarter columns to angles, the trunk with ogee-arch topped caddy moulded quarter veneered door with conforming strung border to both door and surround, on conforming plinth base with shallow moulded skirt and bracket feet to front only, 214cm (84ins) high. William Charles is recorded in Linnard, William WALES Clocks & Clockmakers as working from premises in Beaufort Square Chepstow circa 1745-78. The current lot is illustrated by Linnard (on page 115) where it is erroneously described as being in a mahogany case. The use of walnut for the veneers and general detailing of the design and layout is reminiscent of examples made by Bristol makers such as Benjamin Stretch and John Jordan during the 1740Õs; this suggests that the current lot is more likely to have been made prior to 1750. Another example by William Charles with ÔHigh Water at Chepstow BridgeÕ resides at the Chepstow Museum.

A George III oak thirty-hour longcase clock James Douglass, Chertsey, circa 1775 The posted countwheel bell striking single-handed movement with 10 inch square dial signed JamÕs Douglass, Chertsey within a rococo scroll cartouche to the foliate engraved centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with squat cruciform half hour markers and scroll cast spandrels to angles, the case with cavetto cornice and three-quarter columns to hood above rectangular caddy moulded door to trunk, on plain plinth base with moulded skirt, 186cm (73ins) high. James Douglass is recorded in Baillie G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Chertsey from 1769 until declared bankrupt in 1791.

A rare William III ebonised thirty-hour longcase clock Thomas Baddely, Bath, circa 1695 The posted countwheel bell striking movement constructed with square section posts with swollen caps and bases riveted to both the top and bottom plates and with movement bars secured via pins against lugs riveted to the underside of the top plate, the delicate wheelwork with fine Ôgolf teeÕ shaped arbors and early pattern escapement pallets, the 10.75 inch square brass dial with fine pierced steel hand and matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and signed Tho: Baddely, Bath to lower margin, the angles applied with winged cherub head and foliate scroll cast spandrels, the case with shallow ogee moulded caddy and ball finial above cavetto moulded dentil cornice and large glazed side apertures to hood, convex throat and rectangular door centred with a glazed lenticle to trunk, on plinth base with moulded skirt, 217cm (85.5ins) high excluding finial, 224cm (88ins) high overall. A Thomas Bad(d)eley is recorded in White, Ian WATCH AND CLOCK MAKERS IN THE CITY OF BATH as working in Bath during the early 18th century. The movement of the current lot is notable for the quality of the wheelwork in particular the turning of the arbors. The method for securing the movement bars within the frame via pins against lugs riveted to the underside of the top plate is rare, but most often seen on clocks made in Somerset during the latter years of the 17th century by makers such as Lawrence Debnam and James Delance of Frome and Edward Webb and Edward Bilbie of Chewstoke. These details coupled with the style of half hour markers, hand and spandrels would suggest that the current lot was made prior to 1700 thus is perhaps one of the earliest surviving clocks made in the city of Bath.

A George II green japanned eight-day longcase clock John Coates, Tetbury, circa 1750 The four pillar rack striking movement with rise/fall regulation and 12 inch brass break-arch dial with recessed subsidiary seconds dial and calendar aperture beneath elaborate border-engraved shaped nameplate engraved JnÕo Coates, Tetbury to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track and spandrels cast as figures emblematic of the four seasons to angles, the arch with circular aperture enclosing rocking eagle engraved with the motto MOEUO ET PROFICTOR to surround and flanked by unusual foliate engraved subsidiary sector scales engraved Strike/Silent and Faster/Slower and with fine pierced steel pointers, in a case with box upstand to the domed caddy over ogee moulded cornice and three-quarter columns to hood, the trunk with break-arch door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with figures within an oriental garden terrace landscape with pavilions, on plinth base with conforming landscape decoration to front and moulded shallow skirt (unrestored, wear to decoration), 236cm (93ins) high. John Coates is recorded in Dowler, Graham GLOUCESTERSHIRE CLOCK AND WATCHMAKERS as working in Tetbury circa 1750.

A George III ebonised table clock Thomas Pepys, London, circa 1775 The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with verge escapement and symmetrical foliate scroll engraved backplate, the 8 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and shaped recessed silvered signature plaque engraved Thomas Pepys, London to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes and scroll pierced blued steel hands, the angles applied with scroll cast spandrels beneath arch centred with subsidiary STRIKE/SILENT dial flanked by conforming mounts, the bell-top case with brass carrying handle above foliate scroll pierced quadrant frets and raised mouldings to dial aperture flanked by caddy moulded angles to front, the sides with circular over concave topped windows, on cavetto moulded shallow skirt base with brass bracket feet, 49cm (19.25ins) high. Thomas Pepys is recorded in Baillie G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London from circa 1740.

A fine William and Mary small ebony table timepiece with silent-pull quarter repeat and alarm Willaim Cattell, London, circa 1690 The seven finned pillar single fusee movement with verge escapement, silent-pull quarter repeat on two bells and alarm sounding on the smaller of the two, the symmetrical foliate scroll engraved backplate signed William Cattell, Londini fecit to a central shaped cartouche beneath leafy spray engraved and pierced backcock apron, the 6 inch square gilt brass dial with silvered alarm disc and single winding hole to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the narrow outer track, the angles applied with gilt winged cherub head cast spandrels, the case with unusual gilt brass hinged carrying handle to the domed caddy surmount above complex top mouldings and foliate scroll pierced elongated lozenge shaped sound fret to the upper rail of the front door, the dial aperture with raised edge mouldings and with gilt cherub head and scroll cast escutcheon mounts to uprights, the sides with break-arch glazed side apertures, on conforming shallow skirt base with squab feet, 32cm (12.5ins) high. Provenance: The property of a private collector, formerly the property of Major Frederick Lord Aldersley Packman (1865-1944), a manuscript inventory of his collection included in the lot records the clock being gifted in February 1939, unfortunately the name of the individual who received the clock is indistinctly entered. William Cattell is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as apprenticed1664/5 to Edward Stanton and gaining his Freedom of the ClockmakersÕ Company in April 1672. He worked from Fleet Street and took his son, Thomas, as an apprentice in 1681. Loomes notes that William Cattell was not heard of later than 1687 and suggests that he died prior to 1697. The current lot is designed to sound the hours and quarters on two bells only on demand. This form of quarter repeat mechanism is thought to have been devised for night-time use in the bedroom; whilst striking clocks with quarter repeat facility were generally intended to be utilised downstairs during the day and upstairs at night. As a consequence silent-pull quarter repeating timepieces are rarer as the original owner have to have been extremely wealthy to afford a timepiece reserved exclusively for use in the bed chamber; especially one that was also fitted with an alarm mechanism. The current lot is extensively illustrated in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY Volume 25 number 2 pages 202-3. These illustrations clearly show the repeat mechanism which is closely related to the system used by Joseph Knibb as described and illustrated in Allix, Charles and Harvey, Laurence HOBSONÕS CHOICE pages 36-7..

An extremely rare Queen Anne Chinese lacquer eight-day longcase clock Daniel Delander, London, early 18th century The five finned pillar rack and bell striking movement with 12 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and silvered oval plate signed Dan. Delander, London to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, the angles with gilt Indian mask and scroll cast spandrels, in a case with flambeau urn finials and tall caddy decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with flowering foliage above scroll pierced fret to upstand over moulded cornice and conforming fret to frieze and three-quarter columns with brass caps and bases flanking raised foliate spray decoration to the glazed hood door, the trunk with silvered leafy-scroll carved wood decorative corbels to throat above door finely decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with birds and a mallard in flight near a blossoming shrub issuing from a rocky outcrop with two standing crane birds, the sides with particularly fine relief gnarled tree trunk decoration issuing leafy sprays, on plinth base further decorated with aquatic birds within a naturalistic setting over moulded double skirt with squab feet, 254cm (100ins) high excluding top finial, 269 (106ins) high overall. Daniel Delander is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as born circa 1678 and apprenticed to Charles Halstead before being transferred to Thomas Tompion and gaining his Freedom of the ClockmakersÕ Company in 1699. He initially worked as ÔservantÕ to Thomas Tompion from Devereux Court and later (after TompionÕs death in 1713) from Ôwithin Temple BarÕ, Fleet Street. He was a fine maker whose work was clearly influenced by his master but is perhaps best known for his series of particularly fine duplex escapement longcase clocks as well as long duration clocks often with refinements such as equation of time. Delander appeared to also share his masterÕs exacting standards with regards to the quality and design of the cases for his clocks, with his table clocks often mirroring those of Tompion and his successor George Graham. The case of the current lot appears to be an extremely rare, if not an unique surviving example of Chinese lacquer decoration applied to a case made in London. The construction of the case is typical of English work of this period however differs in that the carcass is made almost entirely of pine (only the cleats in the trunk door appear to be oak) rather than being of the usual mixed pine/oak for ÔjapannedÕ cases. This departure from the use of oak for any of the surfaces/principal structural elements of the current lot supports the view that the case was designed to be shipped to China for decoration; indeed accounts exist confirming that deal timber was sent to China as it was deemed well suited for lacquer work (see Bowett, Adam ENGLISH FURNITURE 1660-1714 page 149). The decoration itself is of fine quality with every element formed in relief built-up using a hard brick-red coloured clay based lacquer compound (rather than white gesso) indicative of Chinese/Japanese practice. The design is relatively restrained and is principally composed of naturalistic asymmetric forms contrasting with delicate blossom detail inhabited by birds. This slightly restrained approach perhaps displays a Japanese influence however such work during this period was only undertaken in China; it is perhaps appropriate that the trunk door is decorated with a pair of crane birds which are deemed a symbol of longevity in Chinese culture. We would like to thank Adam Bowett for his assistance with the footnote for this lot.
