A GEORGE III BLACK CHINOISERIE JAPANNED EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKROBERT POLL, HARLESTON, CIRCA 1760The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and bright-cut bordered recessed slivered subsidiary seconds disc to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minute beyond the minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a silvered boss engraved Rob't Poll, HARLESTON within herringbone border flanked by conforming mounts, in a black japanned case with gilt repeating scroll decorated box upstand over architectural moulded cornice, stylised torch motif painted upper quadrant panels and break-arch glazed door decorated with gilt foliate scroll to frame and applied with three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular windows within leafy spray decorated surrounds and with conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding painted with foliate scrollwork panel, over break-arch door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with Oriental figures and pavilions within an Arcadian garden landscape and complex edge mouldings, within scroll painted surround incorporating upper quadrant panels matching those of the hood, the sides painted with large leafy sprays, the plinth base with decorated cavetto top moulding over conforming landscape panel to fascia, on moulded skirt base incorporating bracket feet with gilt decorated shaped apron between.234cm (92ins) high, 54cm (21.25ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep. Robert Poll is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Wissett, Suffolk and Harleston, Norfolk up until 1771. Condition Report: Movement is in dirty condition but was running in the vendors house at the time of consignment. The mechanism appears essentially all original with no visible evidence of alteration. The dial is in good original condition; the finishes have a pleasing age-mellowed appearance. The movement has its original seatboard but there is packing beneath suggesting the movement is not original to the case. The case is generally structurally sound and will respond very well to not a huge amount of work. The top board of the hood is currently detached, the hood columns have some worm damage (localised and non-active). The trunk door has some losses to the original raised decoration and crazing to the surface. The rest of the case exhibits fairly extensive Edwardian restoration with the sides re-panted and the plinth rebuilt incorporating face panel which may be original but with much overpainting. The feet are Edwardian.Generally an attractive example ripe for being 'revived'. Clock is complete with pendulum, two weights, case key and crank winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A SCOTTISH GEORGE III CHEVRON-EDGED MAHOGANY MERCURY STICK BAROMETER IN THE STYLE OF BALTHAZAR KNIECOUTTS, KINROSS, CIRCA 1800The onion-top chevron-edged case applied with arched silvered Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches and with the usual observations beneath flowering urn motifs to upper margins and signed Coutts, Kinross to the lower, the trunk with visible tube and the base with oval lozenge-shaped cistern cover.100cm (39.5ins) high 10cm (4ins) wide. A Coutts of Kinross does not appear to be recorded in the usual sources however a James Coutts is recorded in Smith, John Old Scottish Clockmakers, FROM 1453 to 1850 as working in Perth 1800-48 including an address in Barosa Street from 1837 onwards. The design of the present lot is very much in the style of the renowned Edinburgh barometer maker, Balthazar Knie. An example of Knie's work of related design can be found in Goodison, Nicholas ENGLISH BAROMETERS on page 175 (plates 112 and 113). Condition Report: Tube is filled with no apparent airlocks hence is in working condition. The register plate has a solder repair and some distortion at apex above the tip of the tube otherwise is in good original condition with delicate detail within the engraving still clear. The silvering has streaky oxidation/tarnishing. The case has old glaze-type polish finish, some localised small replacements to the edging (none missing) and minor veneer shrinkage only. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN IMPRESSIVE GEORGE III GILT BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY PRECISION LONGCASE CLOCKWILLIAM POULTON AND SON, LONDON, CIRCA 1785The substantial five pillar rack and bell striking movement with shouldered plates, the going train with Harrison's maintaining power and deadbeat escapement regulated by seconds pendulum with steel rod and wide jaw 'T-bar' suspension, the 13 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and applied shaped silvered plate signed Will'm Poulton & Son, Watchmaker to his Majesty, the King of Spain, London to the finely matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a subsidiary Strike/Silent selection dial flanked by conforming mounts, the figured mahogany case with concave-sided 'pagoda' superstructure fronted with a shaped rococo scroll cast gilt sound fret over break-arch cavetto cornice, conforming gilt arched fret infill and brass stop-fluted columns with Corinthain capitals flanking the hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with rectangular brass fish scale sound frets and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with geometric 'block top' arched door fronted with flame figured veneers within complex mouldings flanked by brass stop-fluted Corinthian quarter columns, the plinth base with concave top moulding over raised shaped panel to fascia, on moulded double skirt.253cm (99.5ins) high excluding top finial, 57cm (22.5ins) wide, 27cm (10.5ins) deep. William Poulton is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London before 1773. He is known for producing high quality table clocks including a grande-sonnerie striking example. A silent-pull quarter repeating table timepiece signed for William and Alfred Poulton, again inscribed 'Watchmakers to the King of Spain', is also known.Provenance: From a private collection in Northamptonshire Condition Report: Movement is in complete original condition with visible alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is essentially in working condition but is a little dirty/neglected with some surface rust to the steelwork. Therefore a gentle clean and service will be required. The dial is in very good condition with only a couple of very small spots of oxidation. The movement and dial are fitted to the original seatboard which rests essentially undisturbed onto the cheek uprights of the case confirming that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is in fine original condition. The hood is free from any notable faults and generally has minimal shrinkage. The rest of the case is similar fine condition. The face of the lower tier of the skirt has veneer detached form the left-hand side and section off to the front right hand corner; the sections are present so should be a simple case of re-attaching. The bases of the quarter columns are giltwood rather than brass hence may well be replacements. Faults are otherwise very much limited to minor age-related shrinkage and other minimal blemishes.Generally a very original clock in extremely good clock that just generally need a service and gentle 'reviving'. Clock has heavy pendulum, pair brass-cased weights and a crank winder (no case key).  Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKJOHN COTTON, LONDON, CIRCA 1695The five finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 11 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and winged cherub mask and foliate scroll cast spandrels to angles, the lower margin of the dial plate with engraved signature Iohn Cotton in ye Strande, in a case with later domed caddy superstructure over architectural entablature and hinged glazed dial aperture incorporating floral marquetry decoration to surround and flanked by three-quarter columns to the front angles, the sides with rectangular windows and bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with ebonised ground grotesque mask-centred floral trail decorated convex throat moulding over 41.5 inch rectangular door inlaid with an architectural urn within bird inhabited flowering foliage into an ebonised ground, centred with an oval lenticle and with half-round edge mouldings set into a herringbone inlaid surround, over base with stepped ogee top moulding and conforming floral marquetry panel within herringbone border to fascia, on shallow moulded band and ogee bracket feet.196cm (77ins) high excluding later superstructure and feet, 223cm (88ins) high overall, 48cm (19ins) wide, 25.5cm (10ins) deep. John Cotton is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born circa 1669, apprenticed to Charles Lowndes in 1683 and gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1695. Loomes notes that Cotton paid quarterage until 1697 and is thought to have died the following year. His son of the same name was apprenticed to Edward Comins, a shipwright of Woolwich, London. Condition Report: The movement is essentially in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is a little dirty/dusty hence requires a clean and service. The dial is in good clean condition with only a couple of light blemishes to the matted decoration to the centre only. The movement rests on a replacement seatboard with packing to the cheek uprights indicating the movement and dial are not original to the case. The case is structurally sound and retains all its important elements including good long backboard continuing down well into the plinth (has some shrinkage cracking and a couple of small patch repairs to the panel). The sides are also in good condition retaining almost all of their original length. The case has however seen some historic 'updating' and requires overall work. The caddy is a 19th century replacement as is the entablature moulding and hood columns. The sides of the hood have lost their veneers and rear quarter columns. The hood door has one small loss to the marquetry otherwise is in good condition. The throat moulding has some losses/flaking and historic filling to the marquetry, the trunk door also has s a few similar localised losses to the marquetry and some filling mostly to cracks near the top and bottom margins (due to shrinkage between the door panel and the clamps applied at each end). The trunk door lock is a replacement and there is a veneer patch repair to the escutcheon area. The sides of the case have a scumbled stain finish over the original veneers which appear sound; an attempt to clean back this finish has been made to the lower rear right causing patchiness. The base top mouldings have shrinkage cracking and some historic worm damage. The plinth retains its original marquetry panel which is in similar condition to the rest of the marquetry. The lower edge of the plinth appears to have been reduced slightly and applied with later moulding and ogee bracket feet. The side veneers of the plinth re in sound condition; the banding around the front panel has chips/losses and repairs. The plinth is a little out of square in relation to the trunk causing the clock to lean a little when the plinth is stood square on the ground. Otherwise faults to the case are essentially limited to age related bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and a few small localised repairs.Clock is generally a sound restoration project and has a pendulum, pair of brass cased weights and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKWILLIAM UPJOHN, EXETER, CIRCA 1765The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum. The 12 inch brass break-arch dial with bright-cut bordered recessed subsidiary silvered seconds ring and arched calendar aperture to the foliate rococo scroll engraved centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minute beyond the minute track and signed William, Upjohn, EX, ON to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hands and 'twin-bird-and-urn' scroll cast spandrels to angles, beneath arch centred with a silvered boss engraved with a Ho-Ho bird over banner inscribed TEMPUS FUGIT flanked by conforming dolphin cast mounts, the case with box upstand over break-arch architectural cavetto moulded cornice, scroll-pierced arched fret and hinged glazed dial aperture applied with three-quarter columns with cast brass Corinthian capitals to front angles, the sides with small rectangular windows and quarter columns to the rear edge, the trunk with concave throat moulding over wavy-top caddy moulded rectangular door flanked by rounded angles, on plinth base with ogee top mouldings over raised caddy moulded panel to fascia and bracket feet.227cm (89.5ins) high, 52cm (20.5ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep.  William Upjohn senior is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Exeter 1741-87. Clive Ponsford in TIME IN EXETER adds that he lived in a house on South Hill Street and married an Anna Reeve at Holy Trinity Church on 11th September 1736. The marriage produced thirteen children of which at least four sadly died. Their eldest son, Thomas, together with another son, William junior, subsequently followed their father into the clockmaking trade. Ponsford records his death and burial in St Mary Major churchyard on 14th December 1768. Condition Report: The movement is clean working condition wand appears all-original with no visible alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is also in clean condition but with some slight oxidation to the silvering. The minute hand has been repaired. The movement retains its original seatboard which rests direct on the cheek uprights of the case indicating that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is generally in very sound original condition however has been repolished at some point which has now aged to exhibit some variances in colour which may benefit from attention from furniture finisher. The caddy probably had a caddy or other superstructure fitted onto the top box and the feet are replacements otherwise faults are very much limited to minor shrinkage and a few historic bumps and scuffs.Clock is complete with Pendulum, two weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

FRENCH LOUIS XV STYLE PATINATED AND GILT BRONZE MANTEL TIMEPIECE 'PENDULE A L'ELEPHANT'UNSIGNED, CIRCA 1900The eight-day back-wound single going barrel movement with platform cylinder escapement regulated by sprung brass three-arm monometallic balance vertically planted on the backplate, with alarm mechanism also set between the plates sounding on a bell mounted within the right-hand margin, the circular cream Roman numeral dial with subsidiary alarm setting dial to centre and blued steel spade hands, set within a gilt ogee moulded surround fitted with a hinged bevel-glazed bezel, the case modelled in the manner of Jean-Joseph de Saint Germain or Jacques Caffieri with a gilt figure of a monkey wearing a tricorn hat surmounting the patinated bronze drum housing the movement incorporating a friction-fit rear cover and gilt foliage to sides, over support modelled as a stylised elephant with its trunk aloft fitted with a rococo scroll cradle for the movement on its back and incorporating a gilt saddle strap around its waist, standing on a naturalistically cast gilt base incorporating generous rocaille scrollwork.36cm (14ins) high, 27cm (10.5ins) wide, 19cm (7.5ins) deep. The distinctive and particularly attractive design of the current lot is based upon mid 18th century models by the Bronziers Jean-Joseph de Saint Germain (1719-87) and Jacques Caffieri (1678-1755). Condition Report: The movement is complete and appears all-original the going train is wound but is not currently running as the escapement appears to be 'gummed-up' A clean/service may be all that is required to put into working condition. The alarm mechanism also requires adjustment. The dial is paper with overall browning/discolouration. The movement and dial are push-fitted into the case, although the fit is very good it is possible that the present movement and dial are not original to the case. The case is generally in very good condition with bright gilding showing little oxidation and wear. The Monkey is missing something form his left hand (an open parasol?) otherwise case appears free form notable defects,Timepiece has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN INTERESTING PROVINCIAL PARQUETRY DECORATED WALNUT SMALL THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCKMAJOR SCHOFIELD, ROCHDALE, CIRCA 1750, THE CASE PROBABLY EARLIERThe four pillar two-handed countwheel bell striking movement with Huygens endless rope winding and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 10.25 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture and dummy winding holes to the rococo scroll and floral spray engraved centre signed Major, Schofield, ROCH,DALE to centre, within applied Roman numeral with foliate scroll half hour markers and large Arabic five minutes beyond the arcaded minute ring incorporating text Tempus Fugit to upper margin, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and applied figural cast 'four seasons' spandrels to angles, in a case with generous ogee cornice and plain frieze over hinged glazed dial surround applied with Solomonic twist three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with small rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with slender rectangular door centred with a 'bullseye' lenticle set a moulded surround between two parquetry star motifs within line-edged crossbanded surround and half-round cross grain mouldings, the plinth base with stepped ogee top moulding over conforming parquetry star-centred decoration to front and moulded skirt.202cm (79.5ins) high, 49.5cm (19.5ins) wide, 27cm (10.27ins) deep. Major Schofield senior is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as born in 1707 and working in Manchester, Salford and Rochdale until his death in 1783, He was succeeded by his son of the same name. The case of the current lot is notable in that the form and design echoes that of London work of around 1680, in particular details such as Solomonic twist columns and rear bargeboards rising up into the cornice to the hood, convex throat mouldings and large parquetry motifs around a lenticle to the trunk (see Robinson, Tom THE LONGCASE CLOCK page 92). This would suggest that either the case is either a late 17th century 'provincial' model following slightly earlier London practice or, if was made at the same time as the movement and dial, was executed in an 'archaic' style. Condition Report: Movement is complete and in reasonably clean working order. The mechanism appears very original with no obvious replacements. The pinions show wear and all wheel above the greatwheels have been moved along the arbor slightly to ensure engagement with a unworn part of the next pinion in the train. This is a traditional sensitive repair to enable the clock be to used without having to replace pinions. The bell and stand appear to be replacements and there is some noticeable hammering around the lower lower right movement pillar to the backplate. The dial is in relatively clean condition and is complete with calendar mechanism. The right hand false winding square has been bent a little to endure correct alignment with its hole and one of the cartwheel spokes has an old rivet repair. The hour hand is a replacement and the spandrel securing screws have been renewed other wise faults are limited to light uneven oxidation.The case is constructed with elm carcass except for the trunk door which is pine. The backboard has a cut just above the top of the throat moulding and a separate section (in elm) also fitted via a lap joint to the inside surface continuing up to dress the rear of the hood. Although this appears to be a later repair the colour of the timber (where visible) as well as the way in which the top of the principal part of the backboard is dressed would indicate that it was done a very long time ago. The seatboard appears equally ancient/original to the movement and is secured to uprights (also in elm) which are applied to the inside of the side of the trunk which terminate at throat level. This detail is very similar in its execution as to the panel applied to the backboard suggesting that they were done at the same time. The back panel and seatboard have an old wash of black paint. The hood is in fine original condition with faults essentially limited to shrinkage cracking and small losses to the sides around the glazed apertures following the lines of the joints within the carcass beneath. The inside rear edges of the hood also have a black wash, the rear edges (behind the bargeboards) have been rubbed back suggesting that the may have been fitted with tongues for rising in grooves cut into the upper part of the original backboard.The trunk is generally in fine condition although the backboard has historic worm damage, losses and splitting towards the lower edge requiring a bracing panel to be fitted over the back pf the plinth. Otherwise the structure of the plinth appears all original and in sound condition with the exception of the skirting which is a fairly recent replacement. There is no evidence to suggest the clock was ever fitted with bun feet. The veneers and mouldings are generally in fine original condition. The left hand side of the trunk has an oval patch insert which was required to fill a scoop cut into the inside surface of the carcass to allow for the pendulum swing. The right-hand side has a similar scoop which is not deep enough to affect the veneers on the exterior. The centre of these scoops is each approximately 7cm below the centre of the lenticle. Otherwise faults are limited to historic small losses to the veneers, relatively light age-related shrinkage and other blemishes. The trunk door retains its original lock and hinges.Clock has a lead weight, pendulum (rod snapped at the junction with the rod block) and a case key.Useful dimensions;Hood - depth between inside edge of frame around dial and the backboard - 15.5cmHood - height between bottom edge of front glass and the upper edge of the seatboard - 6cmHood - dimensions of front glass - 25cm wide, 26cm highHood - height of lower edge of the side glasses from the upper surface of the chin - 13cmHood and Trunk - distance between lower edge of the hood front glass to the centre of the lenticle - 74cm Condition Report Disclaimer

Y&nbspA LATE VICTORIAN BRASS INLAID ROSEWOOD BRACKET CLOCK ON PEDESTALSHARMAN D. NEILL, BELFAST, CIRCA 1893The substantial four pillar triple chain fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum with pivoted rise/fall beam regulation to suspension, chiming a choice of two tunes for the quarters either on a graduated nest of eight bells or four gongs and sounding the hour on a further larger coiled gong, the 8 inch arched gilt brass dial with matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised trident half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed SHARMAN D. NEILL, BELFAST to lower margin, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and applied gilt scroll cast spandrels to angles, the arch with central FAST/SLOW subsidiary regulation dial flanked by further CHIME/SILENT and CHIME ON EIGHT BELLS/WESTMINSTER selection dials set within conforming mounts, the shallow break-arch top case with stepped surmount and stylised urn flanked by foliate scroll inlay to tympanum over silvered brass angled fillet inset dial aperture to the arch-glazed front door with line inlaid border and further foliate scroll infill to upper angles flanked by recesses to take columns at the angles, the sides with arched cherub mask and sunburst centred cast scroll-pierced sound frets, and the rear with rectangular brass grille inset door, the inverted breakfront base with fluted vertical band infill over cushion moulded skirt inlaid with a stylised foliate motif flanked by lines to front, on gilt brass lobed bun feet; the pedestal with complex double ogee edge mouldings to top over cavetto throat and rosette-centred fluted frieze, the trunk with raised demi-lune panel applied with engraved brass presentation plaque Presented to, Robert Garrett Campbell, AND, Alicia Anna Ferguson, ON THE OCCASION OF THEIR MARRIAGE, BY THE EMPLOYE'S OF, Mess'rs Henry Campbell & Co., Mossley, Belfast, DEC'R 1893, over further rectangular panel and fluted apron frieze, the plinth base with stepped ogee top mouldings and conforming ogee capped skirt.The clock 68.5cm (27ins) high, 45cm (17.75ins) wide, 30cm (11.75ins) deep; the clock on pedestal 204cm (80.25ins) high overall. Provenance:Consigned by a direct descendant of Robert Garrett Campbell. Henry Campbell and Company were a firm of flax and tow spinners who bought Mossley Mill, Co. Antrim in 1859 (built in 1839). On his retirement Henry Campbell built a mansion, 'Lorne', at Craigavad, Co. Down. A benefactor during his life to the Belfast Royal Hospital and the Presbyterian Orphanage Society, he bequeathed approximately £200,000 for the founding of a hospital bearing his name, or a college (or both) in or near Belfast, which would provide a 'superior liberal protestant education'. Although a presbyterian, he chose trustees from differing protestant churches to administer his will, which led to the opening (3 September 1894) of Campbell College at Belmont, Belfast.  A clockmaker with the name Sharman D. Neill does not appear to be specifically recorded in the usual sources however he is recorded in the 1902 Directory of Belfast and Province of Ulster as a 'watch and clock manufacturer' working by appointment to 'His Majesty the King Res: Martello Terrace' from 12 Donegall place, Belfast. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean and essentially in working condition and there is no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is a little dusty/sticky with lazy quarter-chiming and hour striking; adjustment will also be required with regards to the quarter hammers striking the bells cleanly - hence a gentle clean/check-over is required. Two (out of the four) quarter gong hammers are also currently detached from the pivot block - there is no damage evident so will be just a case of re-attaching with a new pivot pin. The dial is in good relatively clean original condition with faults essentially limited to patchy discolouration/tarnishing to the chapter ring. The clock case is generally in good original condition. The curvature to the top has a front-to-back shrinkage crack (not disfiguring and probably easily addressed by a skilled restorer) otherwise the veneers etch appear free form damage or significant and age-related blemishes. The surface colour is uneven due to some sun-fading. The superstructure shows evidence of having finials (five) and the front angles may have originally had columns applied within the angles - these may have been removed to 'tone down' the appearance of the clock in order to satisfy the principals of Protestant owners. The plinth is in very similar condition to the clock. The top has some slight movement (not visible when clock is in place) and there is a slip of moulding detached from the frieze to the right-hand side. The skirting at the base has a couple of small veneer corner chips and rubbing/staining along the lower edge. Otherwise faults to the plinth are limited to minor shrinkage, a few bumps, scuffs etc. and some fading to the veneers. It is also probable that the front angles were also originally fitted with columns (flanking the panel).Clock has pendulum and a winder but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III FIGURED MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY PRECISION LONGCASE CLOCKRCHARD WEBSTER, LONDON, CIRCA 1780The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with Harrison's maintaining power and deadbeat escapement regulated by heavy steel-rod seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with recessed subsidiary seconds disc and applied shaped silvered plate signed Rich'd Webster, Exchange Alley, London to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with pierced blued steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a subsidiary Strike/Silent selection dial flanked by conforming mounts, in a mahogany case with concave-sided 'pagoda' superstructure centred with a shaped scroll-pierced fret over break-arch cavetto cornice and fluted free-standing columns flanking the hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with rectangular windows and quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with fine break-arch flame-figured veneered door applied with complex edge mouldings, the plinth base with concave top moulding over raised rectangular panel to fascia and moulded skirt incorporating shaped apron to lower margin.231cm (91ins) high, 49cm (19.25ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) deep. Richard Webster is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as becoming a Liveryman of the Clockmakers' Company in 1787 and working until 1808. Other sources note him as being the son of the eminent clockmaker, William Webster Junior, who gained his Freedom in 1779. The Webster dynasty of clockmakers was established William Webster senior who is recorded by Baillie as apprenticed to Thomas Tompion and gaining his Freedom from The Clockmakers' Company in 1710; he initially worked as journeyman to Tompion later setting up business in Exchange Alley, London in 1711. Four days after Tompion's death on 20 November 1713 Webster placed a newspaper advertisement stating that he had worked for Tompion and was now working on his own at the Dial and Three Crowns in Exchange Alley. William Webster was elected to the position of Junior Warden in the Clockmakers Company in 1734 but died during his year in office on 13 August 1735. William Webster junior was apprenticed to his father in 1727 gaining his Freedom in 1734, he was appointed Master of the Clockmakers' Company in 1755. Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition and appears all-original and of good quality. The dial is in good clean condition; the seconds hand and selection pointer to the arch are replacements and the plate has a slight bow (left to right) behind the upper part of the chapter ring. The movement has a replacement seatboard however there is no packing to the cheeks beneath. The replacement seatboard means that we cannot offer any assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in sound original condition with nice 'old surface'/patination. The hood pediment fret is a replacement and the hood columns have had the reeded detail filed back for around 4cm beneath the capitals and for around 1cm above the bases - this indicates that more elaborate caps and bases were fitted at some point. The rear quarter columns have remnants of gesso capitals similar in proportion to the brass ones fitted to the front columns. Faults to the hood are otherwise very much limited to minor shrinkages and age-related blemishes, The trunk door has a slight warp causing the front lower eft corner to project outwards by around 1cm - the appearance of this could probably be mitigated by packing/adjusting the hinges. The lock is a replacement. The plinth has been reduced in height by around 4cm (a long time ago and to a high standard). Otherwise blemishes are limited to minor bumps, scuffs etc which generally adds to the pleasing colour/patination.Clock is complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH LOUIS STYLE BRASS MOUNTED INLAID BURR WALNUT MINIATURE LONGCASE MANTEL CLOCK UNSIGNED, CIRCA 1900The circular eight-day two train countwheel bell striking movement with platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the backplate stamped with serial number 655, the 3 inch circular cream enamel dial with simulated segmented Roman cartouche numerals and generous Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with scroll-shaped steel hands set behind a hinged moulded cast-brass convex bevel-glazed bezel, the case with cast cockerel surmount to the concave-sided upstand applied to the drum housing the movement, the front with rocaille scroll cast mount enveloping the dial over concave fronted ogee-shaped support decorated with marquetry foliate trail to fascia flanked by acanthus angle mounts, the trunk of slightly bombe-waisted form with brass concave throat moulding over stylised rococo urn and floral scroll inlaid decoration within a scroll-cast applied border to front, flanked by conforming acanthus angle mounts, the burr-veneered sides with further mounts to back edges, the flush rear also burr-veneered and incorporating hinged glazed bezel behind the movement, the serpentine-shaped skirt base with brass ogee top moulding over floral cast swag mount to front flanked by leaf cast decoration to the projecting canted angles, on rococo scroll cast bracket feet.54cm (21.25ins) high, 17cm (6.75ins) wide, 11cm (4.25ins) deep. Condition Report: Movement is not presently running; the platform is a little loose and the mechanism is generally somewhat dirty/gummed-up hence will require a clean and overhaul and possible attention/renewal of the platform. The strike mechanism is working however the bell hammer is currently detached (but is present with the clock). The backplate has a small filled section just beneath the platform suggesting the the movement was originally designed to have a pendulum and then modified for a platform escapement - this was most likely done at the time the clock was made. The dial has very slight enamel chipping to the left hand winding hole and a small edge crack at six o'clock; both of these are only visible on closer examination (hence are not disfiguring). The case is generally in fine condition although the mounts have at some time been cleaned with metal polish hence much of the original gilding is either gone or in now very thin. The veneers are free from notable defects other than a few light historic bumps and scuffs; they are of fine quality and good mellow colour.Clock is complete with a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY CROSSBANDED EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH 'PENNY MOON' LUNAR CALENDARJOSEPH SILL, WIGTON, CIRCA 1760The four finned and ringed pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square gilt brass dial with penny moon lunar month indication over decorative arched calendar aperture to the foliate scroll engraved matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with foliate half hour markers and generous Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track incorporating engraved signature Jo: Sill, WIGTON to upper margin, with scroll pierced steel hands and Indian mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles, the case with generous cavetto cornice over hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by slender free-standing Doric columns with conforming half columns positioned to the rear of each side, the trunk with ogee throat moulding over ogee-arch top caddy moulded mahogany crossbanded door flanked by fluted quarter columns to front angles, on plinth base fronted with rectangular panel-outline mahogany band to fascia flanked by canted angles over moulded skirt incorporating bracket feet with shaped apron between.208cm (82ins) high, 56cm (22ins) wide, 30.5cm (12ins) deep. Joseph Sill worked in Wigton, Cumberland, as both a clockmaker and innkeeper from circa 1729 when he succeeded his father Richard Sill. He died in 1803. Condition Report: Movement is complete, original and is essentially in working condition however a clean/service is required. The backcock has a break in its casting hence will require attention. The dial has crack to the left-hand margin which has been repaired by riveting a small bracing plate to the rear. Dial otherwise is in good original condition with nice moderately aged patination. The calendar and moon disc mechanisms are intact. The pine seatboard has age but is probably not original, there is no packing to the cheek uprights of the case but there is evidence of some adjustment hence we cannot offer any assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in sound condition. The front ogee top moulding has been replaced and the front corners rounded and there is a crack to the left-hand side of the hood otherwise is in good original untouched condition. The rest of the case is relatively untouched. The rear left-hand edge has a slender section split-out (approx. 20cm in length) and the trunk door has had a nock to the flower corner causing crossbanding to break-off. The plinth has a vertical shrinkage crack and the skirt/feet has been replaced, Faults are otherwise limited to bumps, scuffs and other faults commensurate with age.Clock has pair of faceted lead weights and a pendulum. Condition Report Disclaimer

He married Lydia Wise at St. James's, Duke Place, London in 1690 and lived at Powells Buildings, St. Martin in the Fields. In 1697 Mansell Bennett signed the Clockmakers' Company oath of allegiance. In 1707 a Richard Boyce was trialled for 'Feloniously Stealing' several items form Mansell Bennett including three pendulum watches and three clocks; he was acquitted due a total lack of evidence as to his crime. Bennett attended Court until at least 1711 but was excused of serving as a Steward in 1713 due to being 'out of town'. Notwithstanding this he received payment from the Crown 'for care of the Great Clock at Kensington, £11. 14s.' the same year. He died in 1721 in the Parish of St. Martin in the Fields, Middlesex; there was a subsequent lawsuit relating to his probate (Jones V. Read). 

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASEJAMES DE LASALLE, LONDON, CIRCA 1775The five pillar two train rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and recessed bright-cut bordered silvered subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre within applied silvered 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 with sunburst mask and terrestrial globes beneath signature Ja's De Lasalle, 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 windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with break-arch door fronted with flame figured veneers within complex mouldings flanked by brass stop-fluted quarter columns, the plinth base with concave top moulding over raised shaped panel to fascia, on moulded double skirt incorporating shaped apron to lower margin.243cm (95.75ins) high, 53cm (21ins) wide, 26cm (10.25ins) deep. James De Lasalle is recorded in Britten, F.J. OLD CLOCKS AND WATCHES AND THEIR MAKERS as working from Brookers Row, Moorfields, London in 1780 and then 42 St. Catherine's, Tower Hill 1800-18. Condition Report: Movement in fine clean working condition and appears all-original with no evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is in fine clean condition with the only observation worth noting is that there are some witness marks from the attachment of the calendar ring pulleys and a detent pivot are visible within the matting and there is a small filled 'pin-prick' hole above the calendar aperture. The lunar disc appears to retain its original painted finish in fine condition; the silvering has some slight patchy oxidation in places. The movement and dial rest on what appears to be the original seatboard direct onto the cheek uprights of the case; it is therefore most probable that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in very fine clean condition - the lower skirt (with shaped apron) is a restoration/replacement. The top of the hood has three empty socket holes from finials which are no longer present and the rear left-hand edge (behind the quarter column) has a crack (stable) to the carcass beneath. Otherwise the case only has a few very slight bumps and scuffs and some minimal veneer shrinkage. Clock is generally in 'take-home' condition and is complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III/REGENCY FIGURED MAHOGANY 'NORWICH' TYPE WEIGHT-DRIVEN DROP-TRUNK OR TAVERN WALL CLOCKW. HOLLAND, CHESTER, CIRCA 1805Ther four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 16 inch circular white painted dial indistinctly signed W. HOLLAND, CHESTER to centre and with Vertically aligned Arabic hour numerals, with pierced steel hands set behind hinged glazed ogee moulded bezel, the case with concave-topped rectangular caddy moulded door over moulded collar and down-curved quarter-round base, the sides with hinged doors set behind the dial, (lacking weights).128cm (50.5ins) high, 47cm (18.5ins) wide, 19cm (7.5ins) deep. William Holland is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World, Complete 21st Century Edition as working from King Street, Chester 1795-1829.  Condition Report: Movement is in very dirty/dusty neglected condition however appears complete and in original with no visible evidence of alteration or notable replacements. The dial retains original untouched surface which is heavily rubbed/faded but with no significant losses or flaking evident. The movement and dial rest on an old, probably original, seatboard which is wedged tight in the case (probably due to very slight shrinkage in the case) hence the movement cannot be removed without taking the dial off/dismantling. The case is generally in sound original condition. The backboard has vertical splitting and has a loss to the upper edge; a metal brace has been applied form which it can be hung on the wall. The top panel is a replacement and is currently loose (although allows the movement to be viewed). The rounded section at the base has some horizontal shrinkage cracking but no losses to the veneer. The left hand side has cracks above the side door but no losses; both side doors have losses to the applied overlaps to the edges. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, light shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.Generally a good honest sound untouched example ripe for sensitive restoration, clock has pendulum (no suspension spring), a winder but no weights or case key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III PARQUETRY DECORATED OAK EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKEDWARD BILBIE, CHEWSTOKE, CIRCA 1760The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum. The 12 inch square brass dial with arched calendar aperture to the centre engraved with scene of a square-rigged ship passing a building over signature EDWARD, BILBIE, CHEW STOKE beneath a delicate scroll border to lower margin, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with generous Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and rococo scroll and shell cast spandrels to angles, in a case wit swan neck pediment over cavetto cornice, blind fret fronted frieze and hinged glazed dial surround flanked by free-standing columns with brass caps and bases, the sides with rectangular windows and bargeboards to the rear edges, the trunk with concave throat over caddy moulded rectangular door centred with a parquetry star within mahogany crossbanded surround, the plinth base with ogee top mounding over plain fascia and caddy mounded skirt.219cm (86.25ins) high, 49cm (19.25ins) wide, 26.5cm (10.5ins) deep. Edward Bilbie senior is recorded in Moore, A.J THE CLOCKMAKERS OF SOMERSET 1650-1900 (Appendix vii) as born 1666 and probably working from circa 1695 as he is thought to have learnt the clockmaking trade from Edward Webb who died in 1694; by 1698 he had certainly become established in Chew Stoke as a bellfounder. Edward Bilbie had two sons, Edward II (born 1694) who assisted his father but unfortunately died within six months of his father in 1725, and Thomas (born 1702) who inherited his father's business in 1725 and worked until 1768. Edward II had a son who he also named Edward (III - born circa 1715), who is thought to have been brought up by his uncle Thomas, and worked alongside him until around 1768. The present lot would have been made by Edward Bilbie III most likely whilst working alongside his uncle, Thomas. The marine landscape engraved decoration to the centre of the dial of is a textbook example of the style adopted by Bristol and Chew Valley clockmakers during the third quarter of the 18th century, and no doubt reflects the pride of the original owner in the region's maritime mercantile economy. 

AN IRISH GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKALEXANDER CHRISTIE, DUBLIN, CIRCA 1770The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 13.5 inch square brass dial with vestigial arched calendar aperture and leafy rosette centred subsidiary seconds dial to the rococo scroll engraved centre signed ALEX'R CHRISTIE, DUBLIN to lower margin, within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer dot minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and generous winged cherub mask and scroll cast gilt brass spandrels to angles, the case with swan neck pediment applied with carved rosettes to the scroll terminals over cushion-shaped frieze relief carved with rococo scrolls centred with a grotesque 'green man' mask, the hinged glazed dial aperture applied with carved fluted Corinthian three-quarter columns to angles and the sides with reeded bargeboards to the rear edges, the trunk with blind geometric fret to the lip of the cavetto throat moulding over shallow caddy-moulded break-arch top door flanked by fluted Doric quarter columns to the angles, the plinth with stepped ogee top mouldings over shaped raised panel to fascia flanked by canted angles, on bracket feet.244cm (96ins) high, 53.5cm (21ins) wide, 34.5cm (13.5ins) deep. Provenance:Evelyn Gairdner-nee Handcock, only daughter of Lord Castlemaine (1897-1984) thence by family descent the current vendor. This clock was rescued from Moydrum Castle near Athlone, Ireland before the castle was burned down in July 1921.  Alexander Christie is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Dublin 1758 until his death in 1801. Condition Report: Movement is basically complete and original with the exception of the calendar drive flag (would have originally been fitted to the hour hand tube). There is nothing obvious to indicate that the movement will not run but it will require a service/setting-up. The dial plate is a little distorted behind the chapter ring where the dial feet are fitted to the spokes of the 'cartwheel' cut-outs. The right hand corner is also bent a little backwards and is missing its tip. The dial feet are a little misaligned also so will require adjustment. The calendar disc has been secured tight on its post (does not turn). Hands appear undamaged. The chapter ring has lost its silvering and overall the dial is in neglected condition. The movement is attached to what appears to be its original seatboard however the cheek uprights of the case are applied with various pieces of packing suggesting that the movement and dial are not original to the case. The case is essentially complete and original but requires general moderate attention from a case/furniture restorer. The hood is in good condition with faults essentially limited to repairs to the hood column capitals, a loose rosette to the pediment, general light bumps and nocks to the extremities and carving and slight shrinkage cracks to the sides. The front right hand corner has a scarf repair to the corner infront of the column. The carcass of the rest of the case trunk is in good condition with strong structure. The lower hinge of the trunk door has at some point been 'pulled' causing splitting to the surround into which the hinge was screwed; some re-gluing/making sound this damage has been done. The plinth front panel is warped (front lower edge projects around 7mm) and has a crack, the lower left small quadrant infill panel is also loose; otherwise plinth is in sound condition. Finish is generally somewhat dull/muted and there are relatively minor bumps, scuffs and other blemishes commensurate with age.Clock has pendulum, two weights, a case key and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Silchester, Hampshire, 1736-56 before moving to Reading where he worked until his death in 1774. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition and appears fundamentally all original. The dial is in good condition with faults limited to a few blemishes to the chapter ring which also has patchy discolouration to the silvering. Movement has later seatboard set on packing pieces indicating that the movement and dial are probably not original to the case. The case presents as being in good visual condition but has replaced backboard and the plinth has been re-faced with plywood fronted by veneers which match the rest of the case very well. Skirt is also a replacement. Clock has a pendulum and weight.  Condition Report Disclaimer

Whilst working in London it seems that he primarily produced timepieces for export to his native Spain; he is also known to have successfully repaired damaged marine chronometers for the Spanish Navy in 1786. Condition Report: Movement in fine clean working condition and appears all-original with no evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The pivot holes have been 'dished'. The dial is in fine clean condition with the only observation being that the minute hand has been repaired. The movement and dial rest on what appears to be the original seatboard direct onto the cheek uprights of the case; it is therefore most probable that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in very good condition. The hood has some slight shrinkage cracking to the veneers and side panels otherwise is free form notable defects. The rest of the case is in similar condition with notable faults limited to a few well matched small localised veneer patch repairs to the plinth as well as other very small cosmetic repairs to fill edge bruising. The sides of the plinth also has slight undulation in the surface due to movement in the timber beneath although there are no cracks or losses due to this movement. The lower skirting (incorporating the shaped apron) is a well-made replacement.Clock is complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, winder and two case keys. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY LONGCASE CLOCK CASEANOMYNOUS, PROBABLY LONDON, CIRCA 1780The cavetto moulded break-arch cornice applied with a wavy crest and three reeded finial plinths over hinged glazed dial aperture for a 12 inch break-arch dial flanked by free-standing reeded columns with brass caps and bases, the sides with rectangular brass fish scale sound frets and quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding over flame-figured break-arch door applied with complex edge mouldings and flanked by fluted canted angles, on plinth base applied with mouldings to form a shaped panel over double skirt incorporating bracket feet with shaped apron between.222cm (87.5ins) high excluding finials, 52cm (20.5ins) wide, 25cm (9.75ins) deep. Condition Report: Case is generally in clean original condition with only minor age-related faults. The hood has some shrinkage/opening to the joins in panel around the apertures to the sides; the left hand fret is a little loose. The curved top has typical cracking between the segments that form the curvature. The glazed front door has a slight spring which would be pulled-in when locked. The rest of the case is also in very clean condition with the only notable fault being slight opening of the vertical joint between the two sections that form the backboard. The trunk door is very straight and retains its original locks and hinges. The cheek uprights appear to be at their original level. The finish to the case has minimal bumps and scuffs however the colour is a orange/pink hence would benefit from the attention of a good finisher to incorporate some darker tones.Case has a single key for the trunk only.Useful dimensions:Max height of dial aperture into the rebate of the mask - 42.5cm.Max width into the rebate of the mask - 31cmdistance between the level of the lower rebate in the mask and the top edge of the cheek uprights - 3cm.Condition Report Disclaimer
