A rare Welsh George II parquetry banded walnut eight-day longcase clock with moonphase William Charles, Chepstow, circa 1745 The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with 11.75 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and applied arched silvered nameplate signed Will. Charles, Chepstow to the symmetrical Ho-Ho bird inhabited foliate scroll engraved centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, the angles applied with twin bird and urn cast spandrels beneath rolling moonphase calibrated for age of the moon and high tide times to outer edge, the upper border with applied arched plate engraved HIGH WATER AT CHEPSTOW BRIDGE, the break-arch case with moulded cornice and blind fret frieze above parquetry strung hood door with three-quarter columns to angles, the trunk with ogee-arch topped caddy moulded quarter veneered door with conforming strung border to both door and surround, on conforming plinth base with shallow moulded skirt and bracket feet to front only, 214cm (84ins) high. William Charles is recorded in Linnard, William WALES Clocks & Clockmakers as working from premises in Beaufort Square Chepstow circa 1745-78. The current lot is illustrated by Linnard (on page 115) where it is erroneously described as being in a mahogany case. The use of walnut for the veneers and general detailing of the design and layout is reminiscent of examples made by Bristol makers such as Benjamin Stretch and John Jordan during the 1740Õs; this suggests that the current lot is more likely to have been made prior to 1750. Another example by William Charles with ÔHigh Water at Chepstow BridgeÕ resides at the Chepstow Museum.

A George III oak thirty-hour longcase clock James Douglass, Chertsey, circa 1775 The posted countwheel bell striking single-handed movement with 10 inch square dial signed JamÕs Douglass, Chertsey within a rococo scroll cartouche to the foliate engraved centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with squat cruciform half hour markers and scroll cast spandrels to angles, the case with cavetto cornice and three-quarter columns to hood above rectangular caddy moulded door to trunk, on plain plinth base with moulded skirt, 186cm (73ins) high. James Douglass is recorded in Baillie G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Chertsey from 1769 until declared bankrupt in 1791.

An Edwardian mahogany quarter chiming eight-day longcase regulator Gillett and Johnson, Croydon, circa 1900 The substantial four pillar triple train movement with deadbeat escapement, HarrisonÕs maintaining power and chiming a choice of two tunes on eight tubular gongs every quarter hour and striking the hour on a further larger gong, the 12.5 inch brass break-arch Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and applied silvered nameplate Gillett & Johnson, Croydon, England to the matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, the angles with unusual leaf cast spandrels beneath subsidiary WHITTINGTON/WESTMINSTER/SILENT selection dial flanked by conforming mounts to arch, the swan neck pedimented case with blind fret infill above fluted columns to hood, break-arch door flanked by quarter columns to trunk, on shaped panel fronted base with moulded skirt, 222cm (87.5ins) high. The firm of Gillett and Johns(t)on of Croydon was formed when William Gillett (who had been working in Croydon since 1844) went into partnership with Arthur Johnston in 1877. The firm still trades today specialising in the manufacture and fitting of turret clocks.

A pine thirty-hour longcase clock John Lee, Cookham, movement and dial circa 1770, the case early 18th century The posted countwheel bell striking two-handed movement constructed with rectangular section posts riveted to both the top and bottom plates, the 11 inch square brass dial with pierced steel hands and matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic Five minutes to outer track and signed John Lee, COOKHAM to lower margin, the angles applied with female mask and foliate scroll cast spandrels, now in an earlier case with ogee moulded cornice with key-pattern fretwork frieze to hood, convex throat and rectangular door to trunk, on plinth base, 206cm (81ins) high overall. John Lee is recorded in Baillie, G. H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Cookham circa 1759-1800. The case of the current lot with its convex throat moulding probably dates to the formative years of the 18th century.

A rare William III ebonised thirty-hour longcase clock Thomas Baddely, Bath, circa 1695 The posted countwheel bell striking movement constructed with square section posts with swollen caps and bases riveted to both the top and bottom plates and with movement bars secured via pins against lugs riveted to the underside of the top plate, the delicate wheelwork with fine Ôgolf teeÕ shaped arbors and early pattern escapement pallets, the 10.75 inch square brass dial with fine pierced steel hand and matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and signed Tho: Baddely, Bath to lower margin, the angles applied with winged cherub head and foliate scroll cast spandrels, the case with shallow ogee moulded caddy and ball finial above cavetto moulded dentil cornice and large glazed side apertures to hood, convex throat and rectangular door centred with a glazed lenticle to trunk, on plinth base with moulded skirt, 217cm (85.5ins) high excluding finial, 224cm (88ins) high overall. A Thomas Bad(d)eley is recorded in White, Ian WATCH AND CLOCK MAKERS IN THE CITY OF BATH as working in Bath during the early 18th century. The movement of the current lot is notable for the quality of the wheelwork in particular the turning of the arbors. The method for securing the movement bars within the frame via pins against lugs riveted to the underside of the top plate is rare, but most often seen on clocks made in Somerset during the latter years of the 17th century by makers such as Lawrence Debnam and James Delance of Frome and Edward Webb and Edward Bilbie of Chewstoke. These details coupled with the style of half hour markers, hand and spandrels would suggest that the current lot was made prior to 1700 thus is perhaps one of the earliest surviving clocks made in the city of Bath.

A George III green japanned eight-day longcase clock Daniel Keele, Salisbury, circa 1770 The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with 12 inch brass break-arch dial with recessed silvered subsidiary seconds dial and applied arched nameplate Dan Keele, SARUM to the finely matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles, the arch with starburst centre engraved subsidiary calendar dial flanked by conforming mounts, in a break-arch case with cavetto moulded cornice above three-quarter columns to hood and break-arch door to trunk decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with figures within an oriental garden terrace landscape with pavilions, on plinth base with conforming landscape decoration to front and double skirt, 215cm (84.5ins) high. Daniel Keele is recorded in Snell, Michael Clocks & Clockmakers of Salisbury as an exceptional maker (because of the number of Act of Parliament clocks that he produced) who was working from the sign of the DukeÕs Head in Catherine Street, Salisbury by 1757. Keele clearly had entrepreneurial traits as he formed partnerships with various cabinet makers and by 1770 he had moved and opened a large ÔAuction Room, Repository and Ware-houseÕ in the Market Place. He is thought to have ceased trading in 1779 when his entire stock in trade was put up for sale and the leases for his properties advertised. It seems from all the examples illustrated by Snell (a bracket clock, two tavern clocks and a longcase) that Keele had a preference for japanned cases, Snell suggests that these cases could have possibly been made in-house by the cabinet makers with whom he shared his premises.

A fine and rare George III mahogany eight-day longcase clock with lion automaton, centre seconds and moonphase George Hewett, Marlborough, circa 1760 The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement set low between the plates and pallets operating via linkages the rocking eyes and shaking tail of the painted lion automaton to the arch of the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with the left paw connected in a similar manner to the strike hammer, the dial centre with rolling moonphase aperture calibrated with the age of the moon to the edge of the lunar disc and with scroll engraved lunettes beneath calendar aperture flanked by public house and chinioserie pavilion decoration beneath signature Geo. Hewett, MARLBOROUGH to a scroll bordered reserve, within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track and foliate scroll cast spandrels to angles, in a pagoda pedimented case with shaped fretwork panel infill above break-arch dentil cornice and Corinthian columns to hood, the trunk with break-arch door flanked by reeded canted angles, on shaped panel moulded outline fronted plinth base with ogee bracket feet, 226cm (89ins) high. George Hewitt is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as a maker of astronomical and musical clocks who worked from Marlborough circa 1720-69. The current lot is testament to his skilled and inventive approach which, in addition to the incorporation of a rare automata feature to the arch of the dial, also has the refinement of centre seconds and rolling moonphase neatly incorporated into the centre..

A George II green japanned eight-day longcase clock John Coates, Tetbury, circa 1750 The four pillar rack striking movement with rise/fall regulation and 12 inch brass break-arch dial with recessed subsidiary seconds dial and calendar aperture beneath elaborate border-engraved shaped nameplate engraved JnÕo Coates, Tetbury to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track and spandrels cast as figures emblematic of the four seasons to angles, the arch with circular aperture enclosing rocking eagle engraved with the motto MOEUO ET PROFICTOR to surround and flanked by unusual foliate engraved subsidiary sector scales engraved Strike/Silent and Faster/Slower and with fine pierced steel pointers, in a case with box upstand to the domed caddy over ogee moulded cornice and three-quarter columns to hood, the trunk with break-arch door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with figures within an oriental garden terrace landscape with pavilions, on plinth base with conforming landscape decoration to front and moulded shallow skirt (unrestored, wear to decoration), 236cm (93ins) high. John Coates is recorded in Dowler, Graham GLOUCESTERSHIRE CLOCK AND WATCHMAKERS as working in Tetbury circa 1750.

A George III mahogany eight-day longcase clock William Webster, London, circa 1760 The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and applied shaped silvered nameplate engraved WÕm Webster, Exchange Alley, LONDON to the matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track and cast female mask and scroll spandrels to angles beneath arch with subsidiary Strike/Silent dial flanked by dolphin mounts, the pagoda pedimented case with shaped fretwork panel to upstand above break-arch cornice and brass stop-fluted columns to hood and break-arch door to trunk, on plinth base with moulded double skirt and squab feet, 239cm (94ins) high excluding top finial. William Webster senior is recorded in Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed to Thomas Tompion and gaining his Freedom from The ClockmakersÕ Company in 1710, he initially worked as journeyman to Tompion later setting up business in Exchange Alley; he died in 1734. William Webster junior was apprenticed to his father in 1727 gaining his Freedom in 1734, he was appointed Master of the ClockmakersÕ Company in 1755. He was a fine maker who very much maintained his fatherÕs standards in his work.

An extremely rare Queen Anne Chinese lacquer eight-day longcase clock Daniel Delander, London, early 18th century The five finned pillar rack and bell striking movement with 12 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and silvered oval plate signed Dan. Delander, London to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, the angles with gilt Indian mask and scroll cast spandrels, in a case with flambeau urn finials and tall caddy decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with flowering foliage above scroll pierced fret to upstand over moulded cornice and conforming fret to frieze and three-quarter columns with brass caps and bases flanking raised foliate spray decoration to the glazed hood door, the trunk with silvered leafy-scroll carved wood decorative corbels to throat above door finely decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with birds and a mallard in flight near a blossoming shrub issuing from a rocky outcrop with two standing crane birds, the sides with particularly fine relief gnarled tree trunk decoration issuing leafy sprays, on plinth base further decorated with aquatic birds within a naturalistic setting over moulded double skirt with squab feet, 254cm (100ins) high excluding top finial, 269 (106ins) high overall. Daniel Delander is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as born circa 1678 and apprenticed to Charles Halstead before being transferred to Thomas Tompion and gaining his Freedom of the ClockmakersÕ Company in 1699. He initially worked as ÔservantÕ to Thomas Tompion from Devereux Court and later (after TompionÕs death in 1713) from Ôwithin Temple BarÕ, Fleet Street. He was a fine maker whose work was clearly influenced by his master but is perhaps best known for his series of particularly fine duplex escapement longcase clocks as well as long duration clocks often with refinements such as equation of time. Delander appeared to also share his masterÕs exacting standards with regards to the quality and design of the cases for his clocks, with his table clocks often mirroring those of Tompion and his successor George Graham. The case of the current lot appears to be an extremely rare, if not an unique surviving example of Chinese lacquer decoration applied to a case made in London. The construction of the case is typical of English work of this period however differs in that the carcass is made almost entirely of pine (only the cleats in the trunk door appear to be oak) rather than being of the usual mixed pine/oak for ÔjapannedÕ cases. This departure from the use of oak for any of the surfaces/principal structural elements of the current lot supports the view that the case was designed to be shipped to China for decoration; indeed accounts exist confirming that deal timber was sent to China as it was deemed well suited for lacquer work (see Bowett, Adam ENGLISH FURNITURE 1660-1714 page 149). The decoration itself is of fine quality with every element formed in relief built-up using a hard brick-red coloured clay based lacquer compound (rather than white gesso) indicative of Chinese/Japanese practice. The design is relatively restrained and is principally composed of naturalistic asymmetric forms contrasting with delicate blossom detail inhabited by birds. This slightly restrained approach perhaps displays a Japanese influence however such work during this period was only undertaken in China; it is perhaps appropriate that the trunk door is decorated with a pair of crane birds which are deemed a symbol of longevity in Chinese culture. We would like to thank Adam Bowett for his assistance with the footnote for this lot.

A fine George I figured walnut eight-day longcase clock Daniel Quare and Stephen Horseman, London, number 299 circa 1720 The substantial five pillar rack and bell striking movement with 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and signed Dan Quare & Stephen Horseman, London, 299 within a shaped silvered reserve to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, the angles applied with female mask and scroll cast spandrels beneath Strike/Silent dial flanked by dolphin cast mounts to arch, the break-arch case with tall cavetto cornice and canted angles above swept lower moulding to hood, convex throat over burr veneered break-ach crossbanded door to trunk, on conforming plinth base with moulded skirt, 222cm, (87.5ins) high. Daniel Quare is recorded on Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as born in Somerset circa 1678, he was admitted as a Free Brother to the ClockmakersÕ Company in April 1671 and by 1683 was working from Exchange Alley, London. Quare was selected as a member of the Court of Assistants in 1698 later becoming Master in 1708. In 1709 he took his former apprentice, Stephen Horseman, into partnership which presumably lasted until QuareÕs death in 1724. Daniel Quare was a fine and inventive maker who supplied clocks and barometers to significant European royal and aristocratic clients as well as the court of William III. The movement of the current lot is built to a high standard with generous use of brass, the case is an attractive early example with canted angles rather than columns to the hood.

A walnut eight-day longcase clock William Flaget, Newbury, late 17th century and later The five finned and latched pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with 10 inch square gilt brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, herringbone border engraved calendar aperture and ringed winding holes to the matted centre within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed Will: Flaget, Newbury to lower edge, the angles applied with cast twin cherub and crown pattern spandrels, now in a case with moulded cornice, plain frieze and twist pilasters to hood above convex moulded throat and rectangular forty-two inch trunk door, the sides divided into two crossbanded panels, on conforming plinth base with moulded skirt, (the case probably 20th century possibly incorporating earlier elements), 198cm (78ins) high. Willaim Flaget(t) does not appear to be recorded in the usual sources, however a brief account of the Flagett family of clockmakers is provided in Barder, C.R. ENGLISH COUNTERY GRANDFATHER CLOCKS page 21-2. Barder notes that a William Flagett was paid for the clock and chimes for St, Nicholas Church, Newbury in 1680, whilst later church records (1706, 07, 12 and 17) indicate payments to a William Flagett junior. This suggests that there were at least two generations of clockmaker with this name working in Newbury during the latter years of the 17th century and the formative years of the 18th century.
