Grosse französische Kaminpendule des Klassizismus „Hero und Leander“62 x 40 x 20 cm.Bezeichnet „Soyer Fqt, de Bronze - Rue de Montmorency 96“Paris, 19. Jahrhundert.Gehäuse: Die Kaminuhr in imposanter Größe, in vergoldeter Bronze, wirkt vor allem durch die Präsentation der beiden großen Figuren. Dies wird auch durch die Signatur auf dem Ziffernblatt deutlich, das den Pariser Bronzier „Soyer“ nennt. Zwei Figuren ein sich umarmendes Paar bilden das Hauptaugenmerk. Die beiden stehen auf einem grünen Marmorsockel, getragen von gequetschten vergoldeten Kugelfüßen, den Hintergrund bildet eine hochziehende Wand mit davorstehender Bank, seitlichen Pilastern und einem eingezogenen Rundbogen, in den das Ziffernblatt eingepasst ist. Die Pilaster sind mit antiken Dekorationen besetzt. Zwei Schwäne darüber halten einen Blattfeston, der unterhalb des Ziffernblattes halbrund zieht. Da ansonsten jeglicher weitere Hinweis auf die Thematik der Figuren fehlt, verweisen die beiden Schwäne auf das antike Liebespaar Hero und Leander. Die beiden Liebenden scheinen hier im Abschiedskuss vereint, wobei Hero hingebungsvoll dargestellt ist. Der Bildhauer ist nicht bekannt, hat hier jedenfalls ein beachtliches plastisches Werk geschaffen. Zifferblatt: Das weiße Emailleziffernblatt mit römischen Stunden und arabischen Minuten, gebläute Breguetzeiger.

DOCTOR WHO (T.V. SERIES, 2005 - PRESENT) - Replica TARDIS Police Box Used for Various Non-BBC Productions - A replica TARDIS police box based on the 11th and 12th Doctors' configuration from Steven Moffat's sci-fi series Doctor Who. The Doctor (Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi) sought adventure through time and space with various human companions and outsmarting countless nemeses, including Daleks and the Weeping Angels.This replica was used in a variety of trade shows and rented out to various non-BBC productions, including The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and is constructed for fast setup and striking as needed. Built primarily from spruce wood and painted "Sydney Blue" to emulate the original production pieces, it features light and sound options that are remote controllable. Its light-up functions include the top-mounted lantern, in addition to various acrylic signages: "Police Box" headers, windows, and the "Pull to Open" door sign with hand-applied acrylic lettering. A speaker allows for the audio playback of key effects, including the iconic TARDIS "Vworp!" materialization and dematerialization, the Cloister Bell catastrophe alarm, and the door lock's "chirp chirp." Light and sound effects are coordinated, depending on pre-programmed remote-controlled instructions. The instruction manual detailing assembly, takedown, and functionality, as well as a radio-control remote and power source, is included. The display exhibits scratches, nicks, grime, scuffs, and wear at the panel connections.

A GEORGE II MAHOGANY BUREAU BOOKCASEBY JOHN FRANKLIN, CIRCA 1750The fall opening to an arrangement of pigeon holes and drawers around a central cupboard door, the printed label titled 'John Franklin, Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer, the Sign of the Chair in Bell Court, Doctor's Common, London, Makes and Sells all Sorts of Chairs, Cabinets...'.205cm high, 95cm wide, 52cm deepA John Franklin is listed in 1803 as a subscriber to Thomas Sheraton's "Cabinet Dictionary", Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, 1660-1840, ed. by G. Beard and C. Gilbert, 1986, Leeds, p. 319. Considering the dates however, it is unlikely that this is actually the same individual responsible for the offered lot, which is dated circa 1750. It seems more likely that the John Franklin who made the present bureau bookcase is the one documented as working in the capacity of a 'turner' in 1730, in Upton, Buckinghamshire. It is then certainly conceivable that the latter moved to London after an initial period as a 'turner' to become a cabinet maker.(bifmo.history.ac.uk)Condition Report: Bookcase with the marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Old chips and splits. The putty to the inside of the glazed doors varies to some panes suggesting these are old replacements. All glass has good age and 'wave'. Interior of the fall front is well used. It has various dents, abrasions, and dark marks - see images. Small sections of inset timber around one of the fall hinges. Escutcheons and handles to lopers are old replacements. The locks and the handles to the drawers appear to be possibly original. There are keys present and operate all locks. Some of the locks are 'sticky'. Later blocks to the backs of the feet. One rear foot with repairs - see images. Some old moulding repairs. Some splits to bottoms of drawers. Minor evidence of old worm. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition.Condition Report Disclaimer

Lot 45

A WALNUT EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK SIGNED FOR BROUNKER WATTS, LONDON, LATE 17TH CENTURY AND LATERThe four finned pillar inside countwheel bell-striking movement with anchor escapement and seconds pendulum, with a ten-inch brass dial with calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds to the matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring engraved Brounker Watts, London to lower edge, with pieced steel hands and winged cherub spandrels to angles, in a case with fretwork frieze over Solomonic three-quarter columns to hood, convex throat mouldings and long trunk door with book-matched veneers, on conforming plinth base with moulded skirt198cm high, 43cm wide, 25cm deep Brounker Watts is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in around 1670, he was apprenticed to Joseph Knibb from 1684/5 until 1691 and gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1693/4. In around 1695 he married Ursula Walford and in 1696 he is recorded as working from Fleet Street, London. His name is on the company's Oath of Allegiance which was signed the following year. In 1698 Watts was living in the parish of St. Dunstan in the West and is recorded as avoiding stewardship of the Clockmaker's Company in 1711 due to being 'out of town'. Brounker Watts died in 1717 and was buried in his home parish of St. Dunstans in the West.Condition Report: The movement is in fairly clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements it would appear that the mechanism has received a light service fairly recently. The dial is in good condition with only some slight historic light surface scuff/blemishes to the plate and slight mellowing and patchy tarnishing to the silvering. When the clock was previously sold by Bonhams (24th November 2020) they suggested that the dial plate may be a replacement however we cannot see any evidence of this in the plate itself or the movement hence would be inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt. The hands are well made and in good condition.The movement seatboard is a replacement although it rests directly onto the cheek uprights of the trunk at the correct level. The case has a pine carcass with the structure of the trunk surviving in sound condition. The upper section of the backboard (behind the movement) has been replaced with well-matched timber and a baton applied over the joint to the rear surface. The structure of the trunk continues part way down into the plinth base with the lower sections of the backboard and side panels showing historic degradation/wear/losses to lower edges. The outer box plinth base is an older restoration. The hood would appear to also be an older restoration. The fact that the case has a pine carcass (rather than oak as mostly seen on 'period' cases) together with the walnut veneers being relatively thin would indicate that the veneers are later. From this it is most probable that the case was most likely restored and veneered (around/onto a period carcass) during the early to mid 20th century. The surface presents in good condition with some slight shrinkage, bumps, scuffs, a few small veneer chips and other very minor age-related blemishes. The veneer overlap to the mask around the dial (only visible when the hood door is open) has some slight wear/losses to the edge.Clock is complete with pendulum (with butterfly-type rating nut) two brass-cased weights, a case key and a crank winder.Generally a very attractive example of fine proportions in working order. Please see catalogue images and further images available on request which are supplemental to and form part of this condition report. Condition Report Disclaimer
