AN OYSTER WALNUT VENEERED EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKThe movement and dial by Isaac Goddard, London, late 17th century and laterThe four finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and Ho-Ho bird and crown decorated scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed Isaac Goddard, LONDON to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hands and twin cherub and crown cast spandrels to angles within a herringbone engraved border to the dial plate, now in a case with rebuilt hood incorporating complex crossgrain moulded cornice and plain frieze over free-standing Solomonic twist columns flanking the hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with repeating oyster decorated panels and further full columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with oyster veneered convex throat over 42 inch door centred with and oval lenticle and fronted with further conforming repeating oyster veneered panel with crossbanded border and half-round crossgrain mouldings, the sides also veneered with oysters within crossbanding over plinth base with complex top mouldings and conforming decoration to front on later moulded skirt.207cm (81.5ins) high, 52cm (20.5ins) wide, 28cm (14ins) deep. Isaac Goddard is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1675, gaining his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1684 and working until 1699.The case of the current clock incorporates a trunk and base of the finest quality made for an 11 inch dial clock in around 1690.Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition however a gentle clean/service will be required if intending to put the clock into long term service. The escape wheel and pallets are most likely 19th century 'service' replacements (as the originals probably wore-out). The backplate is now inscribed with GV monogram under date 1964. The dial is in good overall condition however the minute hand has been crudely repaired and the silvering has some light 'spotting' to the finish. The movement rests on an old pine seatboard which has been strengthened by screwing strips timber to the upper surface at each end. The seatboard rests on blocks approximately ¾ of an inch thick applied to the top of the trunk side uprights (cheeks).As catalogued the hood is of recent construction and has been made so that the case which was originally made for an 11 inch dial will accommodate a 12 inch dial. The hood rises upwards and has channels around the dial causing the edges to be covered when in position. Hence the clock is best considered as a composite piece put together during the early to mid 20th century incorporating 17th century elements. The hood is in good condition with the only noticeable fault being a small loss to the moulding bordering the lower edge of the frieze towards the rear of the left hand side. The trunk and base are of late 17th century construction and of fine quality construction. The backboard continues down into the base with the lower edge terminating just above the top edge of the skirting (hence appears to retain its original length); a movement securing lug left over from fitment of the original movement and dial is still present in the backboard towards the upper right hand corner.The throat has loose mouldings to the left hand side and the upper left joint above the door is also a little loose hence needs tightening. The door retains its original locks and hinges. The sides are in good condition and nicely veneered in matching oysters. The figuring/detailing of oysters applied to the front of the base are not as good quality as the trunk door so we cannot be absolutely sure that they haven't been renewed however the colour and surface matches the trunk. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and other slight age related blemishes.Clock has pendulum, two cast iron weights, a winder but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM IV MAHOGANY MERCURY STICK BAROMETERTroughton and Simms, London, circa 1830With concave-sided upstand and cavetto cornice over glazed rectangular canted silvered Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches and with the usual observations beneath signature Troughton, and Simms, LONDON to upper margin, the trunk with Vernier adjustment square to throat over applied glazed mercury tube Fahrenheit and Reaumur scale thermometer with ogee moulded crests to the upper and lower rails, the rounded base applied with circular disc cistern cover and with level adjustment screw to underside.105cm (37.5ins) high. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. The partnership between Edward Troughton and William Simms is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as formed in 1826 and operating primarily from addresses in Fleet Street, London. Edward died in 1835 followed by William in 1860; the business was subsequently continued by their successors until 1922 when the name was changed to Cooke, Troughton and Simms.Condition Report: The tube is filled with no apparent airlocks. The scales are in fine condition with minimal discolouration/mellowing to the scales and the Vernier slide is operational. The thermometer is in fine condition. The case is in very fine condition with visible faults very much limited to a very small veneer chip where the trunk meets the rounded section at the base. Condition Report Disclaimer

A DUTCH WALNUT AND MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY QUARTER-CHIMING LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASEThe dial signed for Jan Bernink, Amsterdam, mid 18th century and laterThe four columnar pillar triple-train movement chiming the quarters on a graduated nest of eight bells and rack striking the hour on a further larger bell, the going train with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 10.5 inch brass break-arch dial with foliate scroll engraved panels to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with elaborate scroll half hour markers, arcaded minute ring and signed JAN, BERNINK, AMSTER, DAM to lower margin, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and spandrels cast as figures emblematic of the four seasons to angles within a gadroon-engraved border, the arch with rolling moonphase with figural decorated lunettes and calibrated for the age of the moon to the circumference of the disc within fine sailing ship and figure engraved silvered arched border, in a case with carved giltwood Atlas and Angel figural finials to the break-arch cornice centred with a foliate carved crest and with blind fret frieze over integral three-quarter columns applied to the foliate trail inlaid hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with break-arch windows within conforming borders and bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with leaf decorated concave throat moulding over break-arch caddy moulded door inlaid with musical trophy over bird inhabited vase of flowers with scroll cast lenticle aperture between, the surround with foliate upper quadrant infill and line border and the sides further decorated with foliage, the plinth base with repeating lozenge inlaid concave top moulding and decorated with further musical trophy to front, on conforming decorated concave skirt with bun feet, (movement largely reconstructed during the 19th century). 229cm (90ins) high excluding figures, 43cm (17ins) wide, 25cm (9.75is) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. Jan Bernink is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Amsterdam circa 1720-50.Condition Report: As catalogued the movement has been extensively reconstructed/rebuilt most likely during the second half of the 19th century hence trains would appear to be a mixture of 18th century and 19th century work; the movement pillars are 19th century are is the back and fly cocks. The movement is essentioally in relatively clean working condition however a precautionary gentle clean/service is advisable if intending to put into service. The dial is in good original condition; there is a historic and very well executed repair to the lower margin of the lower winding hole which may be indicative of there once being a calendar aperture beneath the third hole. The silvering to the arch is worn particularly to the lower edge and the chapter ring has a general patchy discolouration and wear. The lunar disc has some wear to the painted finish otherwise is in good condition. The movement rests on an old seatboard at the correct level within the case which when coupled with the unusual dial size would suggest that the movement and dial (when first built!) were original to the case.The case is generally in good original condition with no apparent significant issues but does exhibit historic bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and other age related blemishes. The figural finials and blocks are relatively recent replacements; the dowel for supporting Atlas is currently snapped. The concave skirting around the base has some wear to the leading edge veneers.Clock has pendulum, weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A FINE EARLY VICTORIAN MAHOGANY BOWFRONTED MERCURY STICK BAROMETERA. Abraham, Liverpool, mid 19th centuryWith concave-sided upstand and cavetto cornice over rectangular bow-glazed silvered double Vernier scale flanking the large-bore tube each calibrated in barometric inches with the usual observations beneath inscription Yesterday, Noon to upper left opposing signature A. Abraham, Liverpool to upper right, the ebony line-edged trunk of the same bowed profile incorporating twin Vernier setting squares to throat over applied glazed mercury tube Fahrenheit and Reaumur scale thermometer with ogee moulded crests to the upper and lower rails, the base with turned half vase cistern cover flanked by ebony diamond lozenge line strung canted angles over cavetto moulded underside incorporating level adjustment screw.94.5cm (37.25ins) high. Abraham Abraham (and Company) are recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working from several addresses in Liverpool 1817-75. Banfield describes them as 'important makers' who exhibited at the Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace in 1851.The current lot is provided with two scales to allow change in barometric pressure to be recorded as designed by Admiral Fitzroy for his 'storm barometers' which he devised in around 1857. Condition Report: The tube is filled, the column will rise when the instrument is tilted but stops just short of the top of the tube indicating that there is a small amount of air present. The silvering to the scales has oxidised hence now have a mellow pewter-like tone otherwise they are in fine original condition with both Vernier slides in working order. The thermometer also has some even overall mellowing/discolouration to the silvering otherwise is in fine original condition. The case is missing three very short runs of mouldings around the top edge of the base moulding to the left just beneath the cistern cover; the cistern also cover has a small hairline crack otherwise case is in fine condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT DAY LONGCASE CLOCKThe movement and dial by Mark Hawkins, Bury St. Edmonds, mid 18th century; the case Dutch mid-to late 18th centuryThe five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch gilt brass dial with star-decorated subsidiary seconds dial, foliate border engraved calendar aperture, ringed winding holes and applied silvered nameplate signed Mark Hawkins, St. Edmonds Bury 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 scroll-pierced blued steel hands and gilt female mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles, now in a case with carved giltwood Atlas and Angel figural finials to the bird and floral trail inlaid concave-sided 'pagoda' pediment over parquetry banded break-arch cavetto cornice and integral leafy trail inlaid three-quarter columns applied to the chevron-strung hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with rectangular windows within conforming borders and bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with leaf decorated concave throat moulding over rectangular caddy moulded door inlaid with tied ribbon over bird inhabited floral infill enveloping circular lenticle aperture to centre within chevron-strung border, with conforming decoration to the slender canted front angles and the sides further decorated with foliage, the plinth base with stepped-ogee top moulding and further marquetry panel to fascia flanked by scroll outline canted projections decorated with putti, scrolls and floral trails to angles, on lions paw feet.247cm (97ins) high, 67.5cm (27.5ins) wide, 33cm (13ins) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. Mark Hawkins senior is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working from circa 1701-50; his son of the same name was born in 1706 and followed his father into the clockmaking trade working until his death in 1767. Please note: Although the structure of the case of the current lot has age, hence probably dates to the 18th century, the veneer/marquetry are possibly 20th century. Hence the case is describes as 18th century and later.Condition Report: Movement is in reasonably clean working condition and appears free from alteration or significant replacements although the escapement pallets are probably 19th century 'service' replacements. The dial is in good original condition with overall tarnishing mellowing to the silvering and brass finishes. The movement rests on an old seatboard directly onto the side uprights of the trunk (cheeks).The case appears to have age hence would seem to be essentially 18th century however the veneers could well be 20th century as they are a little thin and exhibit next to no shrinkage or lifting. The case is generally in good overall condition but with some bumps, scuffs and bruises. The trunk door lock is a little loose and the surface finish is generally flat/weak hence would benefit from the attention of a good furniture finisher. The figural finials are most likely 20th century and are in good condition but with fairly dull/flat gilt painted finish.Clock is complete with pendulum, two weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE QUEEN ANNE/GEORGE I 'TORTOISESHELL' JAPANNED EIGHT-DAY QUARTER CHIMING LONGCASE CLOCKJohn Faver, London, circa 1715The substantial six pillar triple train bell striking movement with plates measuring 8.75 by 7.25 inches, anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum and chiming the quarters on a nest of six graduated bells, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and calendar aperture to the finely matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll-pierced steel hands and fine mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a convex boss signed John Faver, Gerrat Street, London within herringbone border over Strike/Silent selection switch flanked by conforming cornucopia and scroll cast mounts, the simulated tortoiseshell japanned case with gilt landscape painted domed caddy surmounted box upstand, architectural cornice and floral spray decorated upper quadrants above the glazed hood door with alternating gilt floral and trellis band decoration and applied with three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with floral trail painted throat over rectangular door decorated in raised silver highlighted gilt with a stylised oriental garden trellis landscape populated by an equestrian hunting party under a solar disc, the surround with trellis banded panels alternating with foliate trails and landscape infill, the sides with birds in flight over large leafy sprays, the plinth base decorated with floral still life within conforming trellis panel border over double skirt.257cm (101ins) high, 51cm (20ins) wide, 25.5cm (10ins) deep.  A John Faver is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London before 1759. Baillie suggests that 'Faver' maybe an anglicisation of the French name 'Fauvre' and that John Faver may well be connected to Henry Fauvre. Loomes in Volume 2 further notes a date of 1741; it is likely that John Faver had Huguenot roots and was a fine maker with two watches in the collection of the Fitzwilliam museum.  The combination of quarter chiming movement and highly decorative, finely proportioned tortoiseshell japanned case results in the present clock being a particularly impressive example which would have been the height of fashion during the second decade of the 18th century.Condition Report: Movement is complete and appears all original with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. Although the going and strike trains are operational the quarter train requires adjustment and the movement is generally in slightly dirty neglected condition hence requires a gentle clean/service before putting into service. The silvering to the chapter ring, seconds ring, calendar ring and signature boss has been cleaned-off at some point otherwise dial is in good original albeit discoloured/dirty condition and retains its original hands. The movement retains its original seatboard which rests directly onto the side uprights of the trunk (cheeks) with no evidence of alteration hence we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case. The dial however does sit a little low in the dial aperture - this is due to the seatboard sagging due to the substantial weight of the three weights.The case is generally in very good condition with no structural issues or evidence of alteration/significant replacements and would in essence appear to be very well preserved. The decoration is correctly executed using appropriate pigments and gilding and has genuine age hence may well be original; however the lack of overall fading, rubbing, wear and build up of grime on the surface gives a fairly 'fresh' appearance which would lead some to suggest that the case may well have been faithfully redecorated perhaps in the early 20th century. There is/are general losses, cracking and flaking to the finish which on the whole is fairly minor however the trunk door has some localised retouching mainly to the raised areas of gilt just above and to the right of the lenticle and also to the figures beneath. This small amount of touching in appears to have been done a while ago which would support the view that the rest of the decoration has significant age. The panel that forms the vertical face of the box upstand of the hood superstructure appears to be a replacement (the original may well have been fretwork); the quadrants flanking the arch also appear to be replacements most likely also replacing fretwork. These two areas have been decorated to match the rest of the case however on close examination the decoration differs a little in the pigments and gilding. The capitals to the rear quarter columns of the hood appear to be replacements and are not of the quality of those of the front three-quarter columns.The clock has pendulum, three brass cased weights but not case key or winder. The trunk door is currently locked.Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM IV/EARLY VICTORIAN MAHOGANY MERCURY STICK BAROMETERCrichton, London, circa 1835The arched glazed silvered Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches and with the usual observations beneath signature Crichton, 112 Leadenhall St., London to the right hand side opposing mercury tube Fahr't and Reau'r scale thermometer positioned to the left, with arched slender moulded surround over exposed tube to the trunk incorporating Vernier adjustment square to the trunk, the rounded base with hemispherical cistern cover and level adjustment screw to underside. 93.5cm (36.75ins) high. John Crichton is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as working from 112 Leadenhall Street, London, 1834-65.Condition Report: The tube is filled with no apparent airlocks. The scale/register plate has some slight discolouration to the upper left of the arch otherwise is in good original condition with fine clear engraving and even silvering. The thermometer is in good condition. The case is in fine condition with the only noticeable fault being a small section of replaced moulding to the lower left corner of the surround. Faults are otherwise very much limited to minor age related shrinkage, bumps and scuffs. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FIGURED MAHOGANY MINIATURE LONGCASE TIMEPIECEThe dial bearing signature for A. Page, Bedale, early 19th century and laterThe early 19th century movement with four-wheel train, shouldered plates and anchor escapement regulated by 14 inch pendulum, with a 7 inch square brass dial engraved with radial tulip blooms and inscribed A. Page, Bedale to lower margin within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised trident half hour markers, with pierced steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles, in a flame figured mahogany veneered case with generous cavetto cornice and swollen frieze over hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by free-standing Roman Doric columns to hood, the trunk with concave throat moulding over ogee gothic-arch top caddy moulded door, on plinth base with concave top moulding and bracket feet.145cm (57ins) high, 35.5cm (14ins) wide, 23.5cm (9.25ins) deep. 

Y A VICTORIAN CARVED ROSEWOOD MERCURY STICK BAROMETER WITH VISIBLE CISTERNJ. Franks, Manchester, third quarter of the 19th centuryWith a scallop and leaf scroll carved upstand and two-tier cavetto moulded cornice over conforming surround for the rectangular bevel-glazed double ivory Vernier scales flanking the large bore mercury tube, each calibrated in barometric inches and with the usual observations, the lower margins annotated 10 A.M YESTERDAY and 10 A.M TO DAY and with signature J. FRANKS, 44 MARKET STREET, MANCHESTER to upper margin, the trunk with Vernier setting squares flanked by scroll-carved corbels to throat above applied glazed mercury tube FAHRENHEIT and CENTIGRADE scale thermometer decorated with stylised leaf carved ogee mouldings to both the upper and lower rails, the rectangular base with inverted corbels to upper corners over bevel-glazed panel bordered by carved lappet leaf surround enclosing visible bulb cistern, Bunten air trap and restriction damper within an ivory lined recess, the underside with inverted swan neck-shaped pendant crest. 105.5cm (41.5ins) high. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. A J. Franks is not recorded as working in Manchester during the latter half of the 19th century in the usual sources however a Ben Franks is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working from Market Street, Manchester circa 1880-1900 as well as at Hull and 39 Piccadilly, Hanley.The current lot is provided with two scales to allow change in barometric pressure to be recorded as designed by Admiral Fitzroy for his 'storm barometers' which he devised in around 1857. The feature of visible cistern of the current lot is unusual as is the use of a bulb cistern (rather than a sealed diaphragm arrangement).Condition Report: The tube is in good condition and filled with no air traps and only slight 'greying; to the tube at the damper restriction and air trap. The Vernier scales are undamaged but have overall greyish staining/discolouration to both panels; the Vernier sliders are both operational. The thermometer scale has some slight scratching around a securing screw to the left hand corner of the ivory scale otherwise is in fine original condition. The ivory lining to the glazed cistern recess has noticeable staining to the base panel and mush lesser discolouration to the other panels. The case is in sound original condition with relatively light bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and age related wear; the carved shell crest is probably a later addition.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE II GREEN JAPANNED EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASEUnsigned, probably London, circa 1735The five finned pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and cross-hatch border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll pierced steel hands and mask centred scroll cast spandrels to angles within herringbone engraved border continuing up over the arch incorporating rolling moonphase calibrated with the age of the moon to the circumference of the disc and with fine foliate scroll infill, the green japanned case with domed caddy upstand, complex moulded cornice and gilt leaf decorated over trellis panel bordered glazed hood door applied with fluted three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with leaf painted throat over break-arch door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with oriental figures within a stylised garden trellis landscape, the surround with gilt floral painted upper quadrants and panelled borders, the sides with large leafy sprays, the plinth base with further naturalistic landscape within conforming surround over moulded double skirt, (in neglected unrestored condition).230cm (90.5ins) high, 53.5cm (21ins) wide, 25.5cm (10ins) deep.Condition Report: Movement has survived in original condition with the only noticeable replacements being the escapewheel and pallets which are 19th century 'service' replacements. Although the movement is essentially in working condition it is somewhat dirty/neglected hence will require a gentle clean/service before putting to use. The dial is missing its shunt lever for the moon-disc hence moonphase is currently not operational. The disc itself is in sound condition but has noticeable wear to painted elements. The dial has been cleaned back hence no longer has silvering or lacquered finishes however all engraving, matting and other details are in good condition. The hands are relatively modern replacements. The movement rests on a replacement mahogany seatboard but at the correct level in the case (no visible evidence of alteration to the case trunk side uprights/cheeks) hence movement and dial may well be original to the case but due to the seatboard being a replacement no categorical assurances can be made. The case is generally complete and in original unrestored condition but is the base is loose with breaks to the plinth top mouldings and the case is generally in tired condition hence will require attention. The hood originally had fretwork panel infill to either side of the arch above the dial, these have been replaced with painted panels. The arch itself has a small section of moulding missing from the curve and the mask around the dial is lacking most of its slender quarter-round moulding which would have originally bordered the dial plate. The surface finish is original but is dirty/worn and there are bumps, scuffs, shrinkage cracking and wear throughout.Clock has a pendulum, two lead weights, a case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKUnsigned, circa 1695The five finned pillar bell inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds period pendulum, 11 inch square brass dial with ringed decoration to the subsidiary seconds dial, winding holes, and the foliate scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the rosette decorated matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to the narrow outer track, with pierced sculpted steel hands and mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles with scroll engraved infill to the margins between, in a case with moulded cornice and plain frieze to lintel over leafy trail inlaid fixed dial surround and rectangular windows to the sides of the hood, the trunk with convex walnut veneered throat moulding over 41.5 inch rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle and with three shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and scrolling foliage on an ebonised ground within a figured walnut field, the sides veneered with twin panels within crossbanded borders, the base with stepped ogee top moulding and conforming rectangular marquetry panel over later moulded ebonised skirt.208cm (82ins) high, 42cm (16.5ins) wide, 23cm (9ins) deep.Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition and appears all original with no evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial is in clean condition with only a few very light spots of discolouration to the silvering of the chapter ring; the hands appear original although both have historic repairs. The movement rests on a replacement seatboard directly onto the side uprights of the trunk (cheeks). The seatboard has been thinned at each end to align the dial down slightly in the hood aperture; the presence of this detail (and the fact that the seatboard is a replacement) means that we can offer no firm assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case although they would seem to go together extremely well.The case is generally in sound original condition. The hood was originally made to rise but has since been converted to slide forward however fortunately the front has not been adapted to incorporate an opening door. The slip that borders the rear top edge is a replacement otherwise appears all original. The front glass is lacking and the angles would have originally been fitted with twist columns together with quarter columns against bargeboards to each side at the rear. The trunk is in good condition, the door retains its original hinges but the lock is a replacement. The door has some slight shrinkage cracking to the veneers towards both the top and lower edges from where the door panel has moved slightly against the horizontal clamps applied to the upper and lower edges of the panel. This detail is typical/expected on marquetry cases and is not problematic as forms part of the overall sense of age/patina. The marquetry is in good condition although areas of green have been touched-in by hand. There is slight old worm damage to the border inlay and a small veneer patch repair to the upper edge of the surround. Both sides of the trunk are in good condition. The marquetry to the base appears original as does the structure behind. There is a slight horizontal shrinkage crack across the marquetry panel and the crossbanded border has a few small historic veneer patch repairs. The side veneers are in good condition although the right hand side shows some movement/shrinkage in the panel. The backboard and sides of the trunk do not continue all the way down into the base (as would be expected in a case of this type) but terminate around four inches short of the lower edge of the box of the base. However it would appear that the case was originally made with this detail rather than being indicative of the structure being cut/reduced at some point. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to relatively minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage, small amount of historic worm holes and other blemishes commensurate with age.Generally a good honest example that would potentially respond very well to a relatively small amount of work to the case. Clock has pendulum, two cast iron weights, case key and a crank winder. Condition Report Disclaimer
