Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London circa 1710. Condition Report: Condition overview.Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration; a gentle service is probably advisable if intending to put into long-term service. The dial is clean condition with minimal oxidation to the silvering only. The seatboard appears original but has small slips applied to the underside at each end hence we can offer no assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is in good original condition. There is no back panel to the hood superstructure (may have probably been just backed with paper/card). The fretwork to the frieze of the hood is not original and the hood columns have evidence of larger capitals being fitted in the past. Case is generally very original and in good presentable condition with faults limited to minor shrinkage, bumps, scuffs, and other age-related blemishes.Clock has two weights, pendulum, case key and winder.

Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London 1805-08. An almost identical movement to that of the present lot, but signed for Neilson, Temple Bar, London, is illustrated in Roberts, Derek ENGLISH PRECISION PENDULUM CLOCKS on page 248 (Figure 22-24). Roberts notes that it was the only movement that he'd seen which could be dismantled without any tools by simply unscrewing the finely finished extended brass bolts which hold it together. He also notes that Two makers with the surname Neilson are recorded, Alexander and Thomas, who were both working in around 1860-80.
A GEORGE IV FIGURED MAHOGANY 'NORWICH-TYPE' TAVERN WALL CLOCKUNSIGNED, CIRCA 1825The four pillar weight-driven bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 15 inch cream painted Roman numeral dial with pierced steel hands set behind hinged glazed ogee moulded bezel, the drop-trunk case with side doors behind the dial and cavetto throat moulding, over plain frieze and rectangular caddy moulded door fronted with flame-figured veneer and flanked by reeded angles over applied lozenge motifs, the quarter-round base applied with reeded mouldings forming a rectangular panel.119cm (47ins) high, 47cm (18.5ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep. Condition Report: Movement appears complete and original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The movement is relatively clean and there is no reason to suggest that it will not run and strike however we have not been able to test it hence no assurances can be given and would suggest that a gentle clean/service is probably required. The dial is in good original unrestored condition with traces of a signature to the centre and possibly some historic 'strengthening' to the numerals; the surface has some minor scuffs and other marks as well as overall light crazing. The hands are a little bent. The movement rests on what appears to be a replacement seatboard - with this in mind we cannot make any firm assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case however the compatibility, fit etc. would suggest that the movement and case did start out life together. The case is generally intact but in tired condition. The backboard has a loose section and the bezel hinge is somewhat slack. The bezel mouldings are made from crossgrain segments - some are a little loose and there are some small historic repairs. The sides are generally in sound condition although the right=hand side is missing a slip of reeded mounding to the lower edge of the throat. The front has two small veneer losses beneath the dial and the left-hand upper corner of the throat mounding has a loss to the tip. The trunk door has shrinkage cracking down the centre and the curved underside has lifting, cracking filling and losses to the veneers hance will require attention form a cabinet maker. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to historic bumps, scugs, shrinkage and wear.Clock has pendulum, two weights but no winder or case key (trunk door is locked). Condition Report Disclaimer
A RARE REGENCY WOODEN-DIALLED FUSEE WALL DIAL TIMEPIECE WITH TEN-INCH DIALINDISTINCTLY SIGNED, SECOND QUARTER OF THE 19th CENTURYThe four columnar pillar single fusee movement with bottle-shaped plates and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the 10 inch circular cream painted wooden Roman numeral dial with rubbed signature to centre and with blued steel spade hands, set behind hinged cast brass caddy moulded glazed bezel, within conforming caddy moulded wooden surround fitted via pegs onto rear box case with door to the right hand side, another to the rear, and pendulum access flap to the curved base.29cm (11.5ins) diameter, 14.5cm (5.75ins) deep. Although the signature to the centre of the dial is almost entirely erased the rear of the panel is scratch engraved RICHARD and is also inscribed Read in pencil. This would suggest that the dial was originally signed for a Richard Read. Condition Report: Movement is complete (except for a pendulum holdfast originally fitted to the backplate) and appears all-original. Although in running condition the mechanism is very dirty/neglected hence a gentle clean/service will be required. The dial retains old surface with overall crazing and rubbing to the numerals; the signature has been rubbed-off and there is some chipping/wear around the winding hole, otherwise dial generally has pleasing patination. The bezel is unusual being left-handed and is in good original condition albeit with a recently installed glass. The securing lock mechanism that would have originally been fitted within the wooden surround is no longer present and there are some losses and chipping around this point. The box case unusually has a rear door - this now has had its original hinges replaced by a fabric strap-type hinge. The door panel has also been split and re-glued and there is a scarf repair at the level of the original lower hinge. Internally a slip of timber which formed a shut-face for the door is loose and there is splitting and other damage (including numerous holes form pinning the board secure) to the rear panel surrounding the door. The right-hand side door is a replacement; there is some cracking and holes (from previous turn-latches which are no longer present) to the surround as well a spare holes from earlier positioning of the door hinge. The curved base has a glued repair to the rear edge behind the flap as well as some shrinkage cracking to the veneers and a spare hole for a turn-latch which is no longer present. The flap has a section of cockbeading missing from the leading edge and the hinge is a replacement. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to shrinkage, bumps, scuffs and other age-related blemishes.Timepiece has non-original pendulum (repaired) but no case key or winder.

A RARE GEORGE II STAINED-PINE SMALL THIRTY-HOUR ALARM WALL TIMEPIECE IN A 'SALTBOX' TYPE CASETHE DIAL INITIALLED D.W., PROBABLY SOUTH CENTRAL ENGLAND, CIRCA 1740The four pillar single-handed movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, and external alarm mechanism planted on a brass plate secured to the left-hand side of the movement sounding via a vertically pivoted hammer on a bell set above the plates, the 6 inch square brass dial with silvered Arabic numeral alarm setting disc to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with starburst spike engraved half hour markers and initialled D W to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hand and winged cherub mask spandrels to angles, the rectangular 'saltbox' type case with raised back panel flanked by downcurved side panels, over forward-sliding horizontal top panel cut with slots for the bell stand and alarm hammer, and fronted with caddy moulding to form the upper margin of the dial surround, the conforming side and lower dial surround mouldings fronting channels to the interior to act as runners for the dial, the rear drilled with a hanging hole behind the bell.25cm (9.75ins) high, 18cm (8ins) wide, 14cm (5.5ins) deep. Elements of the case housing the present clock (namely the channelled moulding bordering the dial and the removable top panel) can be compared to an oak-cased wall clock by John Coates of Cirencester, dating to around 1760, illustrated in Darken, Jeff (editor) TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 on page 164 (Exhibit number 48). Condition Report: The timepiece appears to be in good clean original working condition. There is no visible evidence of alteration - although the collets to the first and second wheel differ suggesting that one may have been re-pinioned (most likely the first wheel). The alarm mechanism appears complete and all original. The dial is also in good original condition with faults limited to a few minor casting blemishes and some patchy oxidation. The case is in sound original condition however the backboard has a vertical split from top to bottom with staples inserted to the upper and lower edge. The sides have lesser splits and the vertical dial runners have had slips of timber inserted at to the rear of the slot to close the channel slightly. The slip-in top cover has slightly different profile to the front moulding and colour so may well be an older replacement. The underside has further slight splitting and chips from the surface of the timber from nails being driven-in from the sides. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs and other age-related blemishes.Timepiece has a pendulum (suspension spring broken) and two weights, Condition Report Disclaimer
A GERMAN 'MULBERRY' VENEERED TABLE CLOCKJ.G. EICHLER, FRANKFURT, MID 18th CENTURYThe substantial five knopped pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with plates measuring 9 by 7.75 inches, pinned flanged steel walls to the barrels, five-wheel trains and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the 8.5inch inch square gilt brass dial with calendar and shaped false bob apertures over ringed winding holes to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed J.S. Eichler, a Franckfurt to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hands and applied silvered repousse mask and scroll spandrels to angles, the case veneered in lamp black stained field burr maple or 'mulberry' wood with large gilt brass ring handle to the stepped ogee caddy superstructure, over ovolo capped cavetto top moulding and opening front applied with repeating C-scroll pierced lozenge-shaped fret to the upper rail enclosing a conforming fret to the dial mask behind, the sides with further gilt frets over break-arch lozenge shaped glazed apertures, the rear with door matching the front except for having a smaller glazed aperture and shorter fret, on ovolo moulded skirt base with block feet. 43cm (17ins) high with handle down, 30.5cm (12ins) wide, 16cm (6.5ins) deep. Joseph Georg Eichler is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as a 'Master' clockmaker working in Frankfurt up until his death in 1758. Condition Report: Movement is complete and will just about run and strike, however it is in oily/neglected condition so prone to stopping, hence a gentle clean and service is required. The escapement has probably been converted from verge to anchor (evidence in the plates is inconclusive) and the trains have largely been re-pinioned. The strike train is generally not counting fully/properly suggesting that the rack is sticking - further confirming that a service is required. Without undertaking a train count it is difficult to confirm the duration however as there is an intermediate wheel between the fusee and the centre wheel it would be safe to say that it will probably run between 5 and 8 days. The dial is in fine condition with good colouring and faults limited to very light oxidation only. The case is generally in very good condition and with very attractive veneers. The mask around the dial (behind the front door) has some veneer patch repairs and there is a loss to the veneer strip applied to the inside edge of the door. The skirting to the base has a couple of small well-matched veneer patch repairs otherwise faults to the case are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage, a few historic fill/patch repairs, age related blemishes and wear.Clock has a pendulum but no winding key (no case keys required).

The finish has pleasing slightly oxidised toning protected under lacquer with minimal spotting and only slight dust staining/build-up. The dial has very slight rubbing/discolouration only.There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer
