An unusual George II green japanned eight-day longcase clock with automaton, Stephen Rimbault, London, circa 1750, the five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and arched nameplate engraved Step'n Rimbault, 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, with pierced steel hands and applied twin bird and urn cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a silvered disc engraved with a disgruntled face incorporating 'rocking eye' automaton and flanked by dolphin cast mounts, in a green japanned Chinoiserie decorated case with generous cavetto cornice and scroll pierced fret over gilt floral trail painted glazed dial surround flanked by three-quarter columns and rectangular side windows to hood, the trunk with gilt eagle painted throat moulding over break-arch door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with Oriental figures within a trellis garden landscape, the surround with hatch ground borders incorporating figural medallions to upper quadrants, the sides painted with birds in flight and the base decorated to match the trunk door over moulded skirt, 229cm (90ins) high Stephen Rimbault is recorded in Baillie, G.H. 'Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World' as working 1744-88. A portrait of him by Johan Zoffany (dating to 1864) hangs in the Tate Gallery, London where he is described as a famous clock maker of Huguenot descent, particularly noted for his 'twelve-tuned Dutchmen', clocks which played twelve tunes, with moving figures in front of decorated backgrounds. He did business in Great Andrew's Street, St Giles.The 'rocking eye' automaton within the arch of the dial of the current lot is an unusual and particularly pleasing feature of the current lot as is the mellow, aged decoration to the case. Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant repairs or replacements. The dial is in fine clean condition with correct operation of the automaton. The movement and dial rest on an old, probably original, seatboard onto uprights of the case which show no obvious evidence of alteration although it would appear that new blocks have fitted to the inside of the uprights to offer additional bracing with some re-colouring with red wash to match the old internal surface. The fact that some work has been done to this area of the case means that we cannot offer categorical assurances that the movement and dial belong to the case but the movement and dial and case are perfectly suited both in age and style and the dial is a perfect fit to the mask of the case.The top board of the hood appears to be a replacement otherwise the case appears to have survived in fine original condition retaining its original finish which has now mellowed to exhibit a particularly pleasing patinated appearance (commensurate with its age) with only minimal retouchiong/conservation work having been done to preserve this appearance. The structure of the case is sound although there is some historic internal bracing to the backboard at the base. Otherwise faults are very much limited to minor historic bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear to be expected in a case of this age.Clock is complete with pendulum, two weights, winder and case key.

A North Italian, probably Venetian, polychrome painted terracotta model of Balthazar, 18th century, the turbaned King portrayed standing in elaborate costume and drapery, holding a box of myrrh, flanked by an attendant carrying an urn, on a naturalistically modelled rockwork base, 32cm high, 22cm wideThe subject's princely costume and attributes of a casket and urn suggest this statuette represents St Balthazar, one of the three magi, who is often depicted as a black king.The medium of terracotta, both for artists' models and independent works, rose to popularity among sculptors and connoisseurs during the 18th century. The tactile, pliable quality of the material was by some considered to convey the artist's 'fire' and talent in a more direct way than marble could. The medium proved particularly popular for small-scale portrait and genre sculpture, as is the case with the present lot. Statuettes of this kind with elaborate costume and vibrant polychromy were often produced in Venice, note for example the 18th century models of characters from the Commedia dell'Arte in the collection of the the Museo della Scala in Milan.Further literature: in relation to the development of small-scale terracotta sculpture, see J. Draper and G. Scherf, Playing with Fire: European Terracotta Models, 1740-1840, Metropolitan Museum, 2003For a similar single figure model of King Balthazar also portrayed carrying a box of myrrh, see Sotheby's Paris, 17 June 2015, lot 191 (EUR 3000).Condition Report: The model bears the usual minor marks, knocks and scuffs overall consistent with age, and some wear to the polychromy.Some minor chips and losses, including to the tip of the attendant's sword as well as the top of his head and his nose, and the back of the taller figure. Possible repainting to the boots.There is a circular aperture to the rear of the taller figure. The base is a naturally irregular shape and does not sit entirely flush when placed on a flat surface, though it is entirely stable.Condition Report Disclaimer

19TH CENTURY BRITISH NAIVE SCHOOL CHILDREN AT PLAY watercolour and ink(12cm x 19cm (4.75in x 7.5in))Footnote: Note: After many years of living and working in exotic and far-flung parts of the world, including New Guinea, Nigeria and Cairo, Angus and Alison Hill returned to Glasgow to make Scotland their permanent home. Spending time between the fashionable west end of Glasgow and the pretty Black Isle home in Cromarty, Alison now had plenty of time to indulge her passion for naive country antiques. These were not yet fully appreciated by native buyers when Alison first started to buy in the 1970s. And Alison had what is known amongst dealers and collectors as ‘a good eye’. She followed her instincts and bought with her heart. Much of what she bought was then sold, some to North America where there was and still is a greater admiration of painted and simple furnishings. One client she referred to as ‘Blue Chicken’. Some things would be bought by the famous Kensington Church Street emporium The Lacquer Chest who shared her taste and were, like Alison, ahead of their time. What we see in this sale is the collection of special objects which she could not bear to part with. Is it too fanciful to believe that some of her pared-down aesthetic derived, in some part, from her early childhood home at Port Charlotte on the island of Islay, with its white-painted croft houses? She eschewed the popular mahogany and ‘smart’ antiques. Instead, her eye was drawn to the quiet and understated charm of objects often discarded - the painted post box, the child’s wooden alphabet, the delicious collection of milk and cream cans, with the names of the original owner inscribed. The painted miniature portraits of Regency children were her companions on the walls, with some sailors sewn pictures and a painted pigeon portrait thrown in. The drawers in the lovely Cromarty home were stuffed with some of the many small wooden treen objects- a cornucopia of delights. These sat alongside art nouveau and Glasgow Style ceramics, glass and metalwares (see our last Decorative Arts sale). This collecting habit had begun in Cairo. Visits to both the elegant Glasgow flat and home in Cromarty were always a delight, with intelligent and witty conversations, many tales of life overseas. Assam tea was served in breakfast cups. And our eyes were drawn to the many desirable objects which will now find new and appreciative homes
