Lot 154
A George III mahogany eight-day longcase clock with rolling moonphase incorporating tidal indicationJohn Baker, Hull, circa 1780The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arc h dial with subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and ringed winding holes to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and rococo cast spandrels to angles beneath arch with rolling moonphase signed IOHN BAKER HULL to upper margin and calibrated for age of the moon and high-water times to the circumference of the lunar disc over lunettes engraved with globe delineations flanking two adjustable blued steel pointers to centre, the case with gilt Ho-Ho bird centred oval fretwork panel to the pagoda upstand over hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by free-standing Corinthian columns, the trunk with rectangular flame-figured door with concave-cut upper angles and flanked by fluted canted angles, on figured plinth base with ogee bracket feet, 228cm (89ins) high. John Baker is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as believed working in Hull, during the late 18th century. The current lot is perhaps a little unusual in having two steel pointers within the moonphase; the first is intended for the age of the moon whilst the other can be adjusted to provide the times of high water for a given port to be read from the scale engraved to the edge of the disc. Condition Report: Movement appears to be all-original and in relatively clean working condition although a precautionary clean and overhaul is advised. The dial has some patchy discolouration to brass plate -most noticeably to the centre, otherwise is in good condition and free from alterations or noticeable faults except for a well executed patch repair to the rear of the lunar disc (probably to stabilise a casting crack).The movement rests on an old seatboard which in turn rests on uprights (cheeks) which continue down to the throat area where they terminate and are fixed with screws to the inside of the trunk sides. The fact that these 'cheek' uprights are not integral to the sides of the trunk indicate that we cannot offer any assurances that the current movement and dial are original to the case. However the mask applied to the inside of the hood appears unaltered and fits the dial perfectly which would support the possibility that all started life together. Indeed the case would seem to be a provincial interpretation of the 'London pagoda' case hence is of correct type for the movement and dial.Generally the case is in fine condition with faults limited to some shrinkage cracking to the trunk door and base fascia. For some unknown reason the backboard has been cut just above the rear of the seatboard and then re-attached via batons applied behind (probably to ease transport at some time). The colour of the door appears a little lighter than the rest of the case but this could no doubt be addressed by a good cabinet maker/surface finisher.Clock is complete with pendulum, weights, case key and winder.

Lot 156
A George III oak eight-day longcase clock with moonphaseGeorge Baddely, Newport, circa 1785The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 13 inch single sheet silvered brass break-arch Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds and calendar dials to centre and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and rococo scroll engraved decoration to spandrels beneath arch with rolling moonphase calibrated for the age of the moon and signed GEORGE BADDELY NEWPORT to the upper margin over conforming rocaille engraved lunettes, in a case with dentil moulded open-arch break-arch pediment over hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by free-standing fluted Corinthian columns and the sides with half-round Roman Doric columns applied to bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with ogee throat mounding over shaped-top caddy-moulded door flanked by Corinthian quarter-columns, on shaped raised panel fronted plinth base with canted angles and ogee bracket feet, 219cm (86ins) high. George Baddely is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Newport, Shropshire, in 1784.Condition Report: The movement appears complete and all original and is in working order although a precautionary clean and overhaul is advised. The pendulum is missing its suspension spring. The dial has overall light discoloration and tarnishing giving an overall attractive mellow hue to the finish otherwise is in good original condition. The movement rests on a replacement seatboard which in-turn sits on cheek uprights of case which shoe evidence of being restored to their current height therefore we can offer no assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case however they do appear perfectly suited to each other.The case is in good condition and of fine colour with significant faults limited to a horizontal shrinkage crack to the panel fronting the plinth and a loose rear foot; both of these could be easily rectified by a competent cabinet maker/restorer. Faults are otherwise limited to minor historic bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use which generally add to the 'character' of the object.Clock has pendulum, two weights, a case key but no winder.
