A walnut veneered grandmother clock, early 20th century, with square silvered dial with Roman and Arabic numerals and cherub spandrels, with three train movement chiming on five gongs, the hood with pagoda top flanked by turned finials above a blind fretwork frieze above quarter and half pilasters, having a well figured trunk door, all upon a plinth base. Height 154 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The numerals on the chapter ring are engraved but only very lightly. The movement winds on all three trains and appears to be striking correctly when advanced. The movement is currently ticking away but we do not have the lower section of the pendulum that hooks over the dumbbell. The case is in extremely good condition with no issues. We do not have a key for the trunk door which is currently locked.

A George III mahogany longcase clock by Barwise of Cockermouth, circa 1765, the hood with swans neck pediment and applied carved roundels above the arched glazed door flanked on either side by reeded pillars, and with blind fret carving above the long shaped crossbanded trunk door flanked by reeded quarter column corners, the base with canted corners and raised on bracket feet, with eight day striking movement and 13" arched brass dial with Indian mask spandrels, silvered chapter ring and Roman numerals. With centre date hand and inscribed Barwise Cockermouth. The arch with moon phase. Height including finial 238 cm. NOTE: Lott Barwise was born at Oulton Wigton in 1726 and died in 1779. He worked in Cockermouth from 1750. See Brian Loomes Clockmakers of Northern England pages 86/88 (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: In our opinion this clock and case are not a marriage. The cheeks have not been cut nor do there appear to have been any strange alterations. The movement does have both weights and pendulum and is currently ticking away, striking and operating the moon phase. The case is in generally very good condition. There are some minor repairs to the fretwork collar beneath the hood but other than this the case is in first class condition. The door closes as it should and is not warped. There is no evidence of any woodworm. We have the winding and door keys.
