W TOMLINSON, LONDON; a late 17th/early 18th century eight day longcase clock with seaweed marquetry inlaid case, the 12" brass dial with silvered chapter ring bearing Roman and Arabic numerals, with further subsidiary seconds dial and date aperture, above an intricately inlaid case with a bull's-eye lens and raised on a plinth base, height 237cm. CONDITION REPORT Looking at the pediment of the clock, it is possible that the blind fret detail and upper portion are later and perhaps the moulding should have sat just above the gilt capped capitals. The capitals themselves have been re-gilded. The return mouldings where the hood sits on the base are split and the left hand side is slightly loose. There are some old repairs to the marquetry to the door, flecks of veneer missing and some old repairs to the sides of the case. The lower portion of the plinth base has clearly been restored and repaired, the stepped section at the bottom is a later addition and it appears at some stage that the plinth has been damaged and therefore repaired. Gilding around the bull's-eye lens has been re-painted, but overall a good original clock from a good private source, presented in unrestored condition. The upper right corner applied spandrel to the dial has a small area of loss to the lower portion of the right hand cherub. Sold with two weights and a pendulum. Cannot confirm working order

Antoni Tàpies Album St. Gallen. St. Gallen, Erker-Presse 1965. Seltenere Graphikfolge von Tàpies, gewidmet der Stadt St. Gallen. 1 von 75 numerierten Exemplaren. - Schöne Abzüge der großformatigen Graphiken auf chamoisfarbenem BFK Rives-Bütten (mit Wasserzeichen). Jedes Blatt numeriert und vom Künstler in Blei signiert sowie mit dem Trockenstempel der Edition. 'Kennzeichen der Druckgraphik ist es, dass vom Künstler, wie auch immer, ein Druckstock bearbeitet wird und dass die Wirkung auf dem Papier eine mittelbare ist. Der Künstler sieht nicht sofort, was er bewirkt, er muß den Druck abwarten, und auch für den versiertesten Graphiker enthält die Spanne zwischen der Beendigung seiner Arbeit und dem Erscheinen des gemeinten Resultates auf dem Papier eine Spannung und ein Moment der Überraschung, welches durchaus erheblich sein wird. Man mag das poetisch sehen und konstatieren, dass in der Druckgraphik das Material auf eine autonome Weise selbst spricht oder auch, dass es einen Grad von Freiheit bewahrt hat, der ihm sonst verwehrt ist .. Tàpies reagiert auf Schrift, auf Buchstaben, auf skripturale Chiffren und dieses Interesse, diese Disposition, findet in der Graphik ihren Niederschlag in sehr viel stärkerem Maße als in der Malerei.'
