A GEORGE III INLAID MAHOGANY BRACKET CLOCKTHE DIAL SIGNED FOR J. COLLINWOOD, LONDON, EARLY 19th CENTURYThe five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum with holdfast to the geometric border engraved rectangular backplate, the 8 inch circular convex cream painted Roman numeral dial inscribed J'N COLINWOOD, LONDON to centre and with pierced gilt brass hands set behind a hinged convex-glazed cavetto moulded cast brass bezel, the arched case with brass ball finial to the concave-sided pyramidal upstand over front line inlaid with an oval panel within conforming shaped panel and strung edges, the sides with ached brass fish scale inset sound frets and the rear with arch-glazed door, on cavetto moulded skirt base with gilt brass lobed bun feet.60cm (23.5ins) high, 29cm (11.5ins) wide, 18.5cm (7.25ins) deep. A John Collingwood is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London circa 1782. Condition Report: The movement is in complete original condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The backplate has a spare threaded hole towards the upper left hand corner which was most likely intended for holding a pendulum locking screw when not in use; the clock is fitted with a spring type clamp hence this hole is surplus to requirements. The mechanism is in relatively clean working condition. The dial retains its original old cream surface but with overall light crazing and touching in/restoration. The numerals have been 'strengthened' and the signature overpainted in a manner most likely intended to match the original worn text beneath. The hands have some slight bending but otherwise appear undamaged. Condition Report Disclaimer

A VICTORIAN WALNUT HOUR-STRIKING FUSEE DIAL WALL CLOCKTHE DIAL BEARING SIGNATURE FOR RAMSAY, DUNDEE, MID 19th CENTURYThe five columnar pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the 12 inch circular white painted Roman numeral dial bearing inscription RAMSAY, DUNDEE to centre and with blued steel spade hands set behind hinged brass glazed bezel incorporating canted silvered fillet to interior, with moulded wooden secured via pegs to the rectangular box case incorporating doors to right hand side and rear and pendulum access flap to the curved underside, (dial re-touched).37.5cm (14.75ins) diameter, 15cm (6ins) deep.Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition. The dial has been refinished hence presents as being in fine condition; as it has been refinished we cannot offer any assurances that the signature is that of the maker/retailer but suspect that the script replicates what was previously there on the dial prior to restoration. The case is in good presentable condition. The backboard now has a door - the lower section of the case which borders the door and the base flap has become loose but no doubt can be easily glued back in position. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to some veneer shrinkage, bumps, scuffs, minor veneer edge chips and other faults commensurate with age and use.Clock has pendulum, case key but no winder.

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKANDREWS, DOVER, CIRCA 1800The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch single-sheet silvered brass Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds over signature Andrews, Dover and calendar to centre, with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track and scroll-pierced blued steel hands, the lower spandrel areas engraved with floral sprays and the upper with oval paterae and draped foliage issuing from Neo-classical urn to the arch above, the break-arch case with cavetto cornice above hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by free-standing Corinthian columns to angles, the sides with rectangular windows and quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding over break-arch flame figured door with complex edge mouldings, on shaped panel fronted plinth base with moulded skirt.196cm (77ins) high, 48cm (19ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) deep. Richard Andrews is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Dover from 1800.Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible alterations or significant replacements. We understand from the previous owner's family that it has been maintained in working condition and had received a gentle service within the last few years. The dial has overall honest wear/discolouration but is undamaged. The hands appear original and are black painted. The movement retains what appears to be its original seatboard which rests at the correct level in the case with no visible alteration hence we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case.The case is in good original condition as is of good colour. The only notable faults are a slight warp to the trunk door causing the lower left-hand corner to protrude by around half an inch - this can probably be mitigated by adjusting the top hinge position. The left hand side has a scuff to the surface which no doubt can be improved with some coloured polish. Blemishes are otherwise very much limited to slight bumps, scuffs shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.Clock has pendulum which requires a suspension spring, pair of weights, case key and a winder.
