† AN IMPRESSIVE RARE SET OF OERTLING-TYPE BANKER'S OR ASSAY OFFICE PRECISION BULLION BALANCE SCALESDE GRAVE, SHORT AND COMPANY, LONDON, LATE 19th/EARLY 20th CENTURYThe black japanned cast iron upright of tapered pierced pylon form united by a transverse arched lacquered brass bridge at the top set with a steel bed for the knife-edge pivot and inscribed TO WEIGH 1000 OZ TR to front edge, between the uprights to the centre is a cast V-shaped frame supported between channelled pulley-guides and resting on a roller and cam assembly in the base to allow rise/fall locking/releasing of the balance crossmember by taking the load from each end via substantial brass brackets, the balance arm of pierced elongated triangular form with knife-edge at the centre and for each of the opposing suspension pivot points with the right-hand forming a copper pan suspended from chains and the left with copper platform applied to a stiff chrome-plated cradle, the front of the beam engraved DE GRAVE & SHORT & Co. LTD, MAKERS, LONDON and the centre with long open-framed inverted triangular pointer reading against a cream ivorine scale divided into tenths in each direction opposing a ball-shaped counterweight, now mounted on a square mahogany plinth.118cm (46.5ins) high, 87.5cm (34.5ins) wide excluding pans 32.5cm (12.75ins) deep. Provenance:The property of a central London financial institution forming part of a collection housed in a purpose-built prestigious Georgian style office building furnished prior to 1925. The De Grave family were well known as scientific instrument makers specialising in weights and measures throughout the 19th century. The first member to set up business was Charles de Grave who is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as working in St. Martin's le Grand from 1780. Clifton notes several subsequent partnerships between various members of the DeGrave family including DeGrave, Short and Fanner who are noted as specialist balance and weight makers working from 59 St. Martin's Le Grand, London 1845-71. The DeGrave business was eventually taken over by W. and T. Avery and Company Limited in the early 20th century. This type of balance was developed by Ludwig Oertling who is recorded by Clifton as working from several addresses in London 1846-1925. He was appointed by the Bank of England and Board of Trade and was succeeded by his son, Henry, after his death in 1893. The business was also taken over by W. and T. Avery and Company Limited in around 1925.

A GEORGE IV BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY QUARTER-CHIMING BRACKET CLOCKJAMES BANNISTER, LONDON, CIRCA 1825The substantial seven knopped pillar triple chain fusee movement chiming the quarters of a graduated nest of eight bells and sounding the hour on a further larger bell, the going train with anchor escapement regulated by heavy lenticular bob pendulum incorporating holdfast to the movement backplate, the 9 inch arched dial polychrome painted with rural landscape scene of a cottage to centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track and signed Ja's Bannister, LONDON to lower margin, with pierced gilt brass hands beneath arch with subsidiary CHIME/SILENT selection dial within painted coastal scene with a square rigged-ship passing a castle, the case with cavetto moulded shallow arch top over brass line decorated tympanum and brass-fillet bordered glazed aperture to the hinged front panel incorporating brass line bordered upper quadrants an brass inset canted front angles, the sides with gilt foliate ring handles over rectangular fish scale sound frets, the rear with rectangular glazed door set within the frame of the case, on moulded skirt incorporating brass line decoration to front over brass ball feet.53cm (21ins) high, 33cm (13ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep James Bannister is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London 1818-35. 53cm (21ins) high, 33cm (13ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep.
Y A REGENCY BRASS INLAID MAHOGANY BRACKET CLOCK RICHARD MACKEY, LONDON, EARLY 19th CENTURYThe five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with shouldered plates and anchor escapement regulated by half-seconds geometric border-engraved lenticular bob pendulum, the conforming border decorated backplate with N/S strike/silent selection lever to upper left over central oval lozenge signed Richard Mackey, LONDON and pendulum holdfast, the 7 inch circular convex cream painted Roman numeral dial with steel moon hands set behind hinged cast brass convex glazed bezel, the arched case with ebony strung edge and line-outlined shaped panel to fascia beneath the dial, the sides with foliate cast gilt ring handles over brass fish scale sound frets, the rear with arch glazed door set within the frame of the case on cavetto moulded skirt base with brass ball feet, with a brass inlaid mahogany wall bracket, with brass rosette and line decorated fascia to table over lozenge-centred decorative line-bordered down-curved foot, (2). The clock 34.5cm (13ins) high, 23.5cm (9.25ins) wide, 16cm (6.25ins) deep; the clock and wall bracket 50cm (19.75ins) high overall. A clockmaker with the name Richard Mackay does not appear to be recorded in the usual sources as working in London during the early 19th century. However, included in the current lot is an indenture admitting William Henry Mackey as an apprentice Waterman and Lighterman under a Richard Mackey dated 26th September 1812. This document may or may not relate to the name that appears on the movement of the present clock but, may be of some historical interest.
A SWISS CONTEMPORARY GILT BRASS 'ARMILLARY' DESK TIME-ZONE CALENDAR TIMEPIECEJEAN ROULLET 'G-LINE', FOURTH QUARTER OF THE 20th CENTURYThe quartz movement with dial-setting adjustment and signed Jean Roulet, Le Locle to rear cover, the 4.5 inch circular silvered dial with subsidiary month-of-the-year, day-of-the-week and date-of-the-month dials over rolling moonphase aperture and text G-line to centre within applied gilt Arabic Roman hour numerals and minute markers to outer track, with gilt hands set within convex glazed canted bezel, the case modelled as an armillary sphere with the movement pivoted vertically at a slight angle within a meridian crescent joined by a canted ring decorated with the signs of the zodiac to outer edge, enclosing a further angled horizontal ring encompassing the dial with adjustable outer twenty-four hour scale around annotations for various cities within subdivisions labelled EUROPE, RUSSIA, CHINA and AMERICA, the base cast as ring with angled upper edges to cradle the meridian.19cm (7.5ins) high, 18cm (18ins) diameter. Provenance:From the private collection of a titled family.
AN OXIDISED BRASS ANEROID POCKET BAROMETER WITH ALTIMETERJ.H. STEWARD, LONDON, CIRCA 1900The 2.5 inch circular silvered register calibrated in barometric inches divided into tenths and inscribed COMPENSATED over J.H. Steward, 406. Strand., 457. West Strand & 7. Gracechurch St., LONDON., 3711 to centre, within outer rotating bezel altimeter scale calibrated for 0 to 10000 feet divided for every twenty-five feet, set behind integral bevelled edge glass within knurled moulded surround, the cylindrical case with suspension post; with original leather outer protective case secured to the instrument with brass screws to the rear and pasted with a CORRECTION label to inside of the front cover. The instrument 7cm (2.75ins) diameter, 2.5cm (1in) deep. James Henry Steward is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as a maker of all types of barometers who worked from several addresses in London, including; 406 Strand (1857-1900 and beyond), 67 Strand (1867-8), 63 St. Pauls Churchyard (1867-80), Cornhill (1867-92), 66 Strand (1869-88), 456 Strand (1879-88), 474 West Strand (1886-1900 and beyond) and 7 Gracechurch Street (1893-1900 and beyond). He advertised as maker of the celebrated Lord Bury telescope and maker of the Fitzroy barometers, 'as in use at all railway termini and principal hotels in London'.
A BRASS ELECTROMAGNETIC BALANCE MANTEL TIMEPIECE EUREKA CLOCK COMPANY LIMITED, EARLY 20th CENTURYThe movement with large diameter sprung split bimetallic balance applied with timing weights to circumference and with transverse electromagnetic impulse coil to centre oscillating against a sprung detent contact breaker and cam operating a lever and ratchet shunt for the motionwork, the rear with visible ball bearing pivot, the front with visible motionwork and FAST/SLOW adjustment scale inscribed EUREKA, CLOCK Co. LTD. LONDON, PAT. No. 14614-1906, No. 3656 within the 4.25 inch cream enamel chapter ring with vertically orientated numerals, with steel spade hands and spun brass bezel, the whole raised on two cylindrical supports onto a circular cavetto moulded skirt base carrying a domed glass cover.25.5cm (10ins) high overall, 21cm (8ins) diameter at the base. The Eureka mantel timepiece was invented by Timothy Bernard Powers of New York shortly after 1900 and Patented in 1906. It is thought that around 10,000 were made by the Eureka Clock Company, London before their demise in 1914. The design of the balance is such that a constant voltage (of 1.5 volts) is required to ensure consistency in the amplitude of oscillation. Unfortunately early 20th century battery technology struggled to deliver a suitably stable output hence such timepieces acquired a reputation for poor timekeeping. Nowadays, once correctly set-up, good timekeeping can be achieved through use of modern cells which provide a much more consistent voltage output.
† A REGENCY BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY TABLE/BRACKET CLOCKTHE DIAL INSCRIBED FOR GEORGE LEFEVRE, WISBECH, CIRCA 1825The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with shouldered plates and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum incorporating stirrup-type regulation adjustment and holdfast to the geometric border engraved backplate, the 8 inch circular slightly convex cream painted Roman numeral dial inscribed Geo. Lefevre, WISBECH to centre and with pierced steel hands, the break-arch case with hinged brass carrying handle to the curved top applied with central raised pad bordered with brass fillet mouldings, over complex top mouldings and hinged front applied with cast convex-glazed cavetto moulded circular brass bezel over pair of brass fish scale lower quadrant frets flanked by moulded brass inset front angles, the sides with arched windows and the rear with arch glazed door set within the frame of the case, on generous cavetto moulded skirt base with brass ogee bracket feet.41.5cm (16.25ins) high with handle down, 33cm (13ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep. Provenance:The property of a central London financial institution; acquired prior to 1925 to form part of a collection housed in a purpose-built prestigious Georgian style office building. A George Lefever is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Wisbech circa 1830-40. Condition Report: Movement is in clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The numerals and signature to the dial have been re-touched; the cream ground is old/original with some very slight rubbing/wear in places. The case is in sound condition. The top has some shrinkage cracking/movement but no losses tot eh veneers (except for a tiny chip to the rear right hand corner of the pad). There is a small historic well-matched veneer patch repair to the left hand flat top surface towards the rear. The front door has old veneer patch repairs to the arch above the dial and just beyond the brass bezel between IIII and V. The left hand side has slight wear/losses to the veneer overlap bordering the leading edge of the arched aperture and small historic veneer slip repairs to the opposing rear edge. The left-hand side has similar repairs to the aperture overlap and a small chip to the arch section. The front left-hand corner near the hinge, faults are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage etc. commensurate with age and use. The rear door is lacking its lock.Clock has a winder but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer
A WALNUT TABLE CLOCKSAMUEL WHICHCOTE, LONDON, MID TO LATE 18th CENTURY The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum, the backplate engraved with Ho-Ho bird inhabited symmetrical foliate strapwork incorporating a basket of fruit to centre, the 9 inch brass break-arch dial with shaped false bob and calendar apertures to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with diamond-lozenge half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and unusual female bust and scroll cast spandrels to angles, the arch with circular silvered boss signed Samuel Whichcote, LONDON flanked by conforming mounts, in a case with hinged brass carrying handle to the stepped ogee superstructure over generous cavetto moulded cornice and herringbone banded hinged break-arch glazed front door incorporating brass fish scale frets to upper quadrants flanking the arch, the sides with rectangular windows and the rear with rectangular glazed door set within the frame of the case, on generous ogee moulded skirt base with brass bracket feet.55cm (21.5ins) high with handle down, 36cm (14.25ins) wide, 21.5cm (8.5ins) deep. Samuel Whichcote is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1716 and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1724. He worked in Fleet Street, was appointed Master of the Clockmakers' Company in 1748 and is believed to have died in 1775. The case of the current lot does not conform to the usual 'London' form hence is most likely of provincial or possibly Continental construction. The engraving on the backplate conforms to 'Style E' design of 'Fruit and Flower Baskets' as categorised by Sunny Dzik in ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass; Dzik illustrates two very closely comparable backplates executed for clocks by David Hubert and Richard Ellis on page 301 (Figure 17.8). Condition Report: Movement is complete and in original condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements including the escapement. The movement is currently in dirty condition and the fusee line for the going train has snapped however when motive power is manually applied to the train it will run. The strike train is in working condition. Movement does require a clean and sympathetic service. The dial is in dirty/neglected condition with patchy tarnishing to the silvering throughout. The backing plate for the false bob aperture is missing and the hands are probably replacements. The calendar ring is present. The case is very heavily faded/washed-out from the rear and to the sides, otherwise it is in very sound original condition with faults limited to minor shrinkage and age-related slight bumps, scuffs and other blemishes commensurate with age and use.Clock has a case key and winder.

A GEORGE III BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY TABLE/BRACKET CLOCKBENJAMIN REED, PLYMOUTH, CIRCA 1800The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the symmetrical foliate scroll engraved backplate signed Benj'n Reed, PLYMOUTH to centre over pendulum holdfast clip, the 18 inch single sheet silvered brass Roman numeral dial signed Benjamin Reed, PLYMOUTH over subsidiary calendar dial to centre, with pierced steel hands, Arabic five minutes to outer track and stylised husk and acanthus scroll engraved lower spandrels, the upper spandrel engraving continuing upwards to flank the subsidiary STRIKE/SILENT selection dial, the break-arch case with hinged brass carrying handle and complex top mouldings over hinged glazed front inset with brass fillet mouldings to the dial aperture and with brass-edged front angles, the sides with arched brass fish scale sound frets and the rear with break-arch glazed door set within the frame of the case, on cavetto moulded skirt base with brass ogee bracket feet.43cm (17ins) high with handle down, 31cm (12.25ins) wide, 19.5cm (7.75ins) deep. Benjamin Reed is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Complete 21st Century Edition as working in Plymouth 1798-1807; Loomes also notes a B. Reed as working in Plymouth in 1795. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The pendulum has a large heavy bob which has required the lower rail of the back door and case to be 'scooped' to allow clearance - this appears to be an original feature dating to when the clock was made. The dial is in fine condition with nicely executed delicate engraving. The case is in sound original unrestored condition. The top has uneven fading/discolouration to the veneers and some movement/cracking to the veneers but no losses. The front door has some slight movement/shrinkage cracking to the frame but is structurally sound. The sides are in good original condition. The rear door has a veneer patch repair (now with small corner chip) to the upper left hand corner and a small veneer chip to opposing side. The upright next to the lock shows evidence of a turn-latch being applied at some point. The colour of the sides and rear is also neglected/uneven particularly with regards to the veneer patch repair to the door.Generally a good original clock which only really requires some cosmetic attention to the case finishes. Clock is complete with winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer
A FINE PATINATED AND GILT BRONZE TABLE REGULATOR WITH SIX-LEGGED GRAVITY ESCAPEMENTSINCLAIR HARDING, CHELTENHAM, CIRCA 1985-90The circular gilt four double-screwed columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power, external six-legged gravity escapement incorporating jewelled pallets pivoted beneath sub frame mounted on the backplate, and regulated by half-seconds pendulum with wire rod and large diameter heavy gilt brass cylindrical bob, the 6 inch circular silvered dial with eccentric Roman numeral chapter ring interrupted by slender subsidiary seconds ring at six o'clock and with separate outer minute track, applied onto the frosted silvered ground over two curved plates signed SINCLAIR, HARDING to lower margin, with blued steel spade hands within canted gilt circular surround, the case with fluted urn finial to the gilt line bordered stepped cavetto moulded panel upstand over keystone latch for the full-height bevelled front glass and rectangular section patinated bronze corner uprights incorporating horizontal gilt line details at the base of the arch, the sides with curved glasses following the profile of the arch over gilt rail and further rectangular windows, the rear matching the front, the interior with gilt floor applied with silvered pendulum beat scale calibrated 5-0-5 and engraved with serial number 869, on stepped black marble plinth base with chamfered edges and canted angles over brass ball feet.56cm (2ins) high, 26cm (10.25ins) wide, 23cm (9ins) deep. The Cheltenham based clockmaking firm Sinclair Harding was established by Bill Sinclair and Mike Harding in 1967. Between 1971 and around 1995 the business evolved from being initially focussed on restoration and repair to designing and building their own clocks including chiming longcase and table clocks, their design of 'sea clock', giant and perpetual calendar carriage clocks. In 1995 Mike Harding retired leaving the firm in the hands of Robert Bray; the following year Sinclair Harding were commissioned to make the clock for the Oval cricket ground and the business was relocated to North Yorkshire. In 1999 their first scale version of John Harrison's sea clock was produced adding to their ever increasing catalogue of complex timepieces, and 2010 saw Robert Bray awarded the Barrett Silver Medal by the British Horological Institute as well as being appointed Vice President. The firm have always been regular attendees at Baselworld and in 2017 exhibited their Harrison H1 timepiece at Salon QP. The Gravity escapement in the current lot has its roots in the exploratory designs of some of the leading late 18th and early 19th century makers such as Berthoud, Mudge, Cumming and Hardy. Bloxam had come close to perfecting the design in 1853 however was still plagued by the fault encountered by earlier attempts in that the pallets tended to bounce off the escapement locking surface; known as 'tripping'. Edward Denison (later Lord Grimthorp) perfected the gravity escapement in 1860 by eliminating the tripping problem. He did this through the connection of a fly (air brake), directly to the escape arbor via a friction clutch. It allows the fan to advance slightly after the escapement engages the pallet. The inertia provided by the weight of the fly keeps the escapement seated against the pallet during locking; in essence acting as an 'energy sink'. This escapement provides a nearly detached pendulum from the rest of the clockwork and, as there is no sliding friction, there is no need to oil the escapement. These features made the escapement perfect for use in turret clocks where a high degree of accuracy can be maintained with minimal maintenance. There are two principal designs of gravity escapement the first is the double three-legged type the second in the four-legged design. The former uses two pairs of three legs for the pallets and three impulse pins at the centre whilst the second has four legs and four pins. The disadvantage of both of these designs is that the escape arbor revolves either 1/6 (double three legged) or 1/4 (four legged) for each beat of the pendulum hence the train of the timepiece needs suitable long gearing to maintain a reasonably long duration. The current movement is unusual in that it utilizes a six-legged arrangement which has no doubt been employed to facilitate running with a half-seconds pendulum.
A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY BAYONET-TUBE MERCURY STICK BAROMETER WITH HYGROMETER AND THERMOMETERSAMUEL TOULMIN, LONDON, CIRCA 1775The caddy moulded case with open triangular pediment above hygrometer with independent adjustment for the beard pointer via a brass turn-screw set beneath, over inset silvered vernier scale with curved lower angles and calibrated in barometric inches to the right hand margin opposing weather observations to the left, the upper margin signed Toulmin Strand London, the trunk inset with silvered arched Fahrenheit scale mercury tube thermometer with domed brass protective cover to the bulb and decorative engraved border, the rounded base with circular moulded cistern cover and brass level adjustment screw to underside.109cm (43ins) high, 17cm (6.75ins) wide. Provenance: Property of Harry Taft Hayward (1868 - 1930) and Edith Wires (1872 - 1962) Skyring House, Worthing, and thence by descent. Samuel Toulmin is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working from Strand, London 1757-83. Condition Report: Tube is present and appears intact however almost all of the mercury has gone. The cistern cover is securely fixed hence we are unable to establish whether the cistern is complete or the condition of the concealed part of the tube. The lever adjustment screw is present hence it is most likely the cistern is present but is no longer fluid-tight. The hygrometer is complete and the adjustment action is operational. The thermometer is complete, the tube filled and providing appropriate reading. The silvered scales have overall browning to their lacquer otherwise are in sound condition albeit with some very slight wear to the engraving (no doubt from previous re-silvering). The case is in sound original condition however the pediment is currently detached and is lacking the return mouldings to the sides. There is also a loss to the lower tip of the side 'corbel' moulding (to the left-hand side) as well as some wear/chips to the extremities of the mouldings in general. The trunk has some veneer shrinkage cracking to the front otherwise the case is in original relatively untouched condition with faults limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.

A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY QUARTER-CHIMING EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASETHOMAS WAGSTAFFE, LONDON, CIRCA 1770The substantial six pillar triple train movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, sounding the quarters on a graduated nest of eight bells and striking the hour on a further larger bell, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds to the silvered centre within conforming applied Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll-pierced steel hands and applied rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles, the arch with rolling moonphase incorporating engraved age-of-the-moon scale to the circumference of the lunar disc over lunettes engraved as terrestrial globes beneath signature Thomas Wagstaffe, London to upper margin, the figured mahogany case with concave-sided 'pagoda' superstructure fronted with a shaped foliate pierced fret over break-arch cavetto cornice and brass stop-fluted columns flanking the hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with rectangular scroll-pierced sound frets and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with shaped 'block-top' door fronted with flame figured veneers within complex mouldings flanked by brass stop-fluted quarter columns, the plinth base with concave top moulding over applied shaped panel to fascia, on moulded double skirt incorporating shaped apron to lower margin and squab feet.243cm (95.75ins) high, 56cm (22ins) wide, 26cm (10.25ins) deep. Thomas Wagstaffe is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working from Carey Street and Grace-Church Street, London 1756-93. Wagstaffe was a devout Quaker with strong ties with his brethren in Philadelphia, U.S.A. He is known to have supplied movements and dials for casing locally in Philadelphia with examples noted in Moore, George and James, Arthur Thomas Wagstaffe, Quaker Clockmaker published in the December 1976 issue of the 'National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors Bulletin' (pages 534-35). Condition Report: Movement is in fine clean working condition and is fundamentally original with the only noticeable detail being that the strike train was once converted to sound on a gong screwed to the case backboard. It has since been converted back however there are two spare threaded holes (next to the quarter train barrel pivot) and a part-round circular cut-out to the edge at the hour hammer pivot. The mechanism otherwise appears to be all-original with no other evidence of alteration or with noticeable replacements. The dial is in fine original condition with some slight mellowing to the silvering and old lacquer surface to the brass. There are no discernible losses to the painted lunar disc. The movement rests on an old but non-original seatboard onto cheek uprights of the case which have received some slight cutting back/levelling. With this detail in mind we cannot confirm whether the movement and dial are original to the case however as the fitment of an hour gong conversion is evidenced in both the movement and case it would appear that they have been together for a long time. This coupe with the fact that they are both a very good match in quality, age and fit suggests that they have always ben together.The case is in fine original condition and of good colour with notable faults limited to a slight warp to the trunk door causing the top and lower left-hand corner to project forward by around 6-7mm respectively. Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and other age-related blemishes. The trunk door lock and hinges are original.Clock is complete with pendulum, three brass-cased weights, winder and two case keys. Condition Report Disclaimer
