Lot 138
A George III green japanned eight-day longcase clock Daniel Keele, Salisbury, circa 1770 The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with 12 inch brass break-arch dial with recessed silvered subsidiary seconds dial and applied arched nameplate Dan Keele, SARUM to the finely matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles, the arch with starburst centre engraved subsidiary calendar dial flanked by conforming mounts, in a break-arch case with cavetto moulded cornice above three-quarter columns to hood and break-arch door to trunk decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with figures within an oriental garden terrace landscape with pavilions, on plinth base with conforming landscape decoration to front and double skirt, 215cm (84.5ins) high. Daniel Keele is recorded in Snell, Michael Clocks & Clockmakers of Salisbury as an exceptional maker (because of the number of Act of Parliament clocks that he produced) who was working from the sign of the DukeÕs Head in Catherine Street, Salisbury by 1757. Keele clearly had entrepreneurial traits as he formed partnerships with various cabinet makers and by 1770 he had moved and opened a large ÔAuction Room, Repository and Ware-houseÕ in the Market Place. He is thought to have ceased trading in 1779 when his entire stock in trade was put up for sale and the leases for his properties advertised. It seems from all the examples illustrated by Snell (a bracket clock, two tavern clocks and a longcase) that Keele had a preference for japanned cases, Snell suggests that these cases could have possibly been made in-house by the cabinet makers with whom he shared his premises.

Lot 447
A New and Accurate Map of The County of Cornwall from an Actual Survey made by Thomas Martyn [late 18th Century]: - printed by William Faden, Charing Cross, 20th February 1784, with dedication armorial to Robert Hoblyn of Nanswhyden and vignettes of inscriptions on local granite stones and the Scilly Isles, 73 x 102cm, in 18 rectangular parts, layed-out and stuck down. Robert Hoblyn [1710-1756] was a politician and book collector who in his early in life travelled in Italy, where he collected many scarce books. He inherited an fortune, which was very increased by his success in mining. With his wealth he restored his ancestral home, Nanswhyden House, employing Potter as the architect. He delighted in building and collecting books, and destroyed all the documents relating to the cost. The books formed a useful collection, and were divided into the classes of natural and moral philosophy. He made a manuscript catalogue in which he marked with a star those works which were not in the Bodleian and all clergymen and persons of literary tastes had free access to the library. The books were sold in London in 1778, and produced about £2,500. Nanswhyden House was destroyed by fire on 30 November 1803, together with its collections of ancient documents, the records relating to the Stannary parliament, and a cabinet of minerals.
