A GEORGE II RED AND GILT JAPANNED LONGCASE CLOCK STEPHEN ASSELIN, LONDON, CIRCA 1725 The eight-day bell-striking movement with 12 inch brass break-arch dial applied with mask and foliate spandrels, a silvered Roman and arabic chapter ring, matt centre and subsidiary STRIKE/SILENT selection dial to the arch, signed on a silvered plaque 'Step. Asselin LONDON' the gilt and polychrome decorated red japanned case with chinoiserie landscapes, a domed caddy surmount 258cm high, 50.5cm wide, 26cm deep Provenance: Christie's, London, Property From A European Noble Family, 10th November 2005, lot 40, where purchased by Robert Kime Formerly at Docker Nook and Warwick Square, see Alastair Langlands, Robert Kime, Francis Lincoln Limited, London, 2015, p205Stephen Asselin is recorded working in London from around 1700. He is not recorded as becoming a member of the Clockmaker's Company which suggests that he was most likely a Huguenot immigrant.   Condition Report: Movement is essentially in working condition however mechanism is dirty/dusty hence a clean/service is required. Notches cut the 3 o'clock edges of the plates indicates that an alarm mechanism was once fitted that is no longer present. Otherwise movement appears complete and all-original. The dial in in original albeit in dirty/neglected condition. The centre shows evidence of being fitted with an alarm disc (curved cut-outs to the seconds ring and signature plate). The areas of silvering are now very thin presenting as almost brass in colour. The right-hand corner of the plate has evidence of being bent and re-straightened; the dial foot behind also has a small loss to the tip (section above the securing pin hole). The right-hand mount to the arch is missing a fin from the dolphin. The hour hand has been repaired; the minute hand and selection pointer to the arch are replacements. The seatboard is original to the movement which rests on blocks applied to the case uprights (cheek); the presence of these blocks suggests that the movement and dial re not original to the case. The dial sits a little wonky (leans to the right) hence some adjustment to the blocks will be required to level it.The case is very original retaining old surface in essentially untouched condition. The hood is in good original condition with notable faults limited to blind fret panels missing from the quadrants above the break-arch pediment and some historic worm damage. The rear of the superstructure is interestingly backed with old thick paper inscribed in ink with random Iberian text. The trunk and base are in very fine original condition with faults limited to some very slight localised flaking to the raised decoration; the finish can be best described as fine patinated old original surface with pleasing degree of age-related wear, discolouration and fading. The backboard is in fine condition and the skirting is also original albeit with historic worm damage and a small scarf repair to inner panel to the rear left hand corner. The left-hand side has some slight shrinkage cracking towards the rear edge; the lock to the trunk door is a replacement.Clock has pendulum, a pair of modern cast iron weights a crank winder and a case key.

Registration - GDW565WChassis - GCATWM010920M.O.T. - ExemptOdometer - 9.512 Here we have a very smartly presented MKII RS2000 Custom that’s finished in the discreetly attractive combination of Nordic Blue bodywork and light beige interior trim. It was apparently stored for 10 years by the previous owner and has travelled a mere 200 miles in the last 14. However, it has been the subject of much attention, including a full engine and gearbox rebuild four years ago by Burton Power, during which the motor was fitted with a brand-new pair of Weber carburettors. Among the many other items replaced are: the brake system, front and rear dampers, and the upholstery which was installed by Aldridge Trimming of Wolverhampton. Additions to the standard specification include power-assisted steering by Burton Power and a Pandora Elite alarm system. The vendor currently classes the Pinto engine, five-speed manual gearbox and upholstery as ‘excellent’, and the two-door bodywork and paintwork as ‘good’. He is now offering the fast Ford complete with: upgraded sound system, jack, spare wheel, and a history file containing old MOTs, plus invoices and photos in support of the work carried out. Ford’s long awaited MKII RS2000 was launched at the 1975 Earls Court show. Based on the two-door saloon, it was the most luxurious of the sporting Escorts of the time, and was powered by an uprated version of the 2.0-litre SOHC Pinto unit employed in the Capri, Cortina and Granada – a four-into-two exhaust manifold coupled to a big bore exhaust system raising its output to 110bhp. This was sufficient to help sprint the Escort to 60mph in 8.5 secs and on to a top speed of almost 110mph. The foam-filled plastic snout and flexible rear spoiler were said to give a significant reduction in drag. The custom version offered from late 1978 onwards featured the following: fishnet headrests on Recaro seats, full door cards, clock, centre console, 6Jx13in RS alloy wheels, boot carpet, remote-control driver’s door mirror, black rear body panel. In summary:A handsome six-keeper example that’s driven 200 miles in 14 yearsEngine, transmission, brakes and interior all recently rebuiltComes complete with power steering and aftermarket alarm system
