Lot 1479
An 18th century Dutch marquetry longcase clock, with bronze figure of Atlas above the caddy top in turn above the arched glazed door enclosing a brass dial and two-train movement by Archibald Lawrie, Carlisle, width 31.5 cm, and with long arched trunk door with lenticle and canted angles and raised on a bombe base. Height 285 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: As the case is Dutch and the dial and movement English it is unlikely that the case and movement have always been together. The mask around the dial does fit extremely well and the clock does not look like a marriage. The movement appears complete but it is dirty. We have not had the clock running. The case is in generally good unestored condition but would benefit from some cabinetwork. There are small areas of veneer and marquetry missing but no significant amounts. There are various cracks to the veneers and mouldings but again none of these are particularly problematic. The trunk door is not warped. The side panels are in good order. The canted angels are in good condition. The base is generally in good order although there is a crack from left to right through the top half of the vase and further stress cracks to the veneers above this. The base moulding is generally in good order and the feet are original. The backboards are original. There is very little trace of any woodworm and certainly none that is currently live. We have no specific or interesting information re provenance unfortunately.
Lot 610
After Barye, a gilt bronze model of a lion with venomous snake, raised on an oval green variegated marble plinth. Overall length 27.5 cm. CONDITION REPORT: This piece is probably early 20th century. It does have a signature to the rear. We do not think that the piece has been re-gilded. It has in our opinion its original finish. There is some rubbing and scratching to the back of the lion and a lot of dirt and dust in the castings on the base. There are however no visible losses, no damage, no repairs and no restoration. The only issue is a crack across the base of the marble which may in fact have been done when the piece was manufactured.

A bronze by Mathurin Moreau 'Naked Lady With Three Birds', signed 'Math.Moreau' and with the markings of foundry Susse, Paris, their seal dated 1898, height 53.5cm, including revolving base. (See illustration) Condition Report: No condition issues. Patination original, a little worn perhaps, but it is grubby.
Lot 598
Pierre-Jules Mene, (French, 1810-1879), 'Ecossais Montrant un Renard a son Chien' and 'Valet de Chiens Tenant deux Griffons Ecossais', a pair of patinated bronze figures depicting a Scottish huntsman lifting a dead fox and a Ghillie with his deerhounds, signed in the bronze (2) 50cm (20in) Literature: Illustrated in the catalgoue raisonne p34 illustration 21, and page 35 illustration 22, Michel Poletti, 2007 P J Mene lived and worked in Paris. He was one of the pioneer animaliere or animal sculptors of the 19th Century. He was largely self taught, spending many hours sketching in the Jardin des Plantes. He was one of the most prolific sculptors of his time with the reputation of producing high quality work. He was awarded the Cross Legion d'Honneur for his contribution to art in 1861 and First Class Medals at the London Exhibitions of 1855 and 1861. Despite his reputation, he declined all offers of large public works and specialised in small bronzes. His work was influenced by the artists Carle Vennet and Landseer, which can be seen particularly in these Scottish pieces. 'Ecossais Montrant un Renard a son Chien' was orginally cast in 1861 and 'Valet de Chiens' in 1864.
