Stevens, London the angles with winged cherub head and foliate scroll cast spandrels with engraved infill between, in a case with marquetry fronted dome caddy above blind fret frieze and integral columns with well cast brass capitals and bases to the foliate trail decorated hood door and rectangular side windows to hood, the trunk with concave throat moulding above rectangular door with brass edged lenticle and plinth base with original moulded skirt, the whole profusely decorated with birds and grotesques within foliate strapwork in various timbers on an ebony ground within conforming repeating borders, 236cm (7ft 9ins) high. Provenance: The Property of a Gentleman of title. Purchased by the vendor`s family from Christie, Manson & Woods, 9th December 1897, the catalogue entry is pasted on the inside of the trunk door: 301 AN OLD ENGLISH CLOCK, by Sam. Stevens, London, in upright walnut wood case of marqueterie, elaborately inlaid with birds foliage and arabesques of a lighter coloured wood -8ft 4in high. From New Monckton Hall where it was at the time of Charles I`s visit before Marston Moor. From the Collection of Lord Walter Scott. Samuel Stevens senior is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as being freed from his apprenticeship to Edward Stanton in 1679, he was known to be working from Grub Street in 1682. He took his son, also called Samuel, as an apprentice in 1699 who in turn was freed in 1706/7. Details in the movement and dial such as the outside countwheel striking mechanism and engraving between the spandrels suggests perhaps a slightly old fashioned approach at this time indicating that this clock was almost certainly made by Samuel Stevens senior. When the current contents of Sir Walter Scott`s library at Abbotsford are considered it is clear that he had a passion for artifacts with historic associations. Memorabilia from his collection includes Nelson`s pen case and blotting paper, Rob Roy`s purse and skene dhu, a lock of hair from both Bonnie Prince Charlie and Nelson, Flora MacDonald`s pocket book, the inlaid pearl crucifix that accompanied Mary, Queen of Scots to the scaffold, a carriage clock once owned by Marie Antoinette, and housed in his armory an assortment of weaponry including Rob Roy`s broadsword. The current lot, when considering its (erroneous) `provenance` to New Monckton Hall at the time of Charles I, could well have been perceived as a worthy addition to Sir Walter Scott`s collection.
