A QUEEN ANNE WALNUT EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKGEORGE WENTWORTH, OXFORD, CIRCA 1715The four finned pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with calendar dial and subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed George Wentworth, Oxon, to lower margin, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and female mask and scroll cast spandrels within a herringbone engraved outer border, the case with ogee moulded cornice and plain frieze over glazed dial aperture to the hinged front applied with three-quarter columns to the front angles, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear continuing up past the frieze to meet the underside of the cornice, the trunk with concave throat moulding over 42 inch rectangular quarter-veneered door with herringbone banded border and caddy edge moulding, the rectangular plinth base with cavetto upper moulding over herringbone bordered book-match veneered panel within crossbanded surround, on cross-grain moulded skirt.223.5cm (88ins) high, 52cm (20.5ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep. George Wentworth of Oxford is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as baptised at St. Thomas's in Salisbury in 1690 the youngest son of the well-known Salisbury clockmaker Thomas Wentworth senior. He was apprenticed through the Clockmakers' Company to John Knibb of Oxford in 1706 gaining his freedom the same year he married in Dinah Mose 1713. In addition to being a clockmaker George Wentworth was also a goldsmith who served as constable for a year in 1715, then Councillor in 1719 and Mayor's Chamberlain in 1727. In 1730 he repaired the Christ Church Cathedral clock and purchased a property there in 1738. He was appointed senior Bailiff that year and was the Fairmaster from 1740-43. He died in 1746/7. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. There is some historic rebushing and light hammering around one of the movement pillar fixing points on the backplate, and a gentle clean/service is advised if intending to put into long term service. The dial is in fine condition with only slight oxidation to the silvering; hands appear original and undamaged. The movement rests on what appears to the original seatboard at the correct level in the case with no visible evidence of adjustments to the cheek uprights of the case. With this in mind we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in good original condition. The slips applied to the rear of the quarter columns of the hood are later additions and there is some slight bowing to the sides and movement to the trunk door surround. The left-hand hood glass is broken. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to historic scuffing, shrinkage and a few localised veneer repairs and some variance within the colour (most noticeably towards the lower part of the base).Clock is complete with pendulum, two weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE REGENCY MINIATURE BRASS MOUNTED EBONISED TABLE/BRACKET CLOCK WITH TRIP-HOUR REPEATBARWISE, LONDON, CIRCA 1820The five columnar pillar twin chain fusee bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc-bob pendulum incorporating transverse pivoted beam rise/fall regulation to suspension and holdfast to the shouldered backplate, engraved Barwise, LONDON to centre, the 4 inch single sheet silvered brass Roman numeral break-arch dial also signed Barwise, LONDON to the centre, with blued steel spade hands beneath arch incorporating twin subsidiary STRIKE/SILENT and regulation dials, the case with hinged sculpted brass handle and rectangular plate capping the ogee shaped caddy superstructure over moulded brass collar and further outswept concave section merging with the break-arch profile top applied with the complex cornice mouldings, the opening front with brass fillet mouldings bordering the glazed dial aperture, the sides with conforming brass-edged arched windows and the rear matching the front, on cushion moulded skirt base and turned brass acorn-shaped feet.27.5cm (10.75ins) high with handle down, 15cm (6ins) wide, 11cm (4.25ins) deep. The life of John Barwise and his family are outlined by A.D. Stewart in his article Barwise & Sons: Watchmakers to the King, A brief history of family and firm published in the March 2014 issue of 'ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY' (Vol IIIV No. 1 pages 621-34). Stewart notes that John Barwise was born into a clockmaking family in Cockermouth, Cumberland in around 1756. By 1780 he had moved to London where he opened a watch retailing business. Ten years later he married Elizabeth Weston with his address being recorded as 29 St. Martin's Lane where he remained until his death in 1820. Of their eleven children two (possibly three) died in infancy and two, John II (born 1795) and Weston (born 1793), subsequently joined their father in the family business. In 1800, such was his success, John Barwise I purchased a second house in Dulwich.In 1805 John Barwise I was one of the fifteen watchmakers appointed by The Board of Longitude to adjudicate in the dispute between John Arnold and Thomas Earnshaw regarding 'the respective merits of their chronometers'. On the 14th February 1811 Barwise was the victim of five highwayman who relieved him of a 'gold watch, greatcoat, and a guinea-and-a-half in cash' whilst en-route from Camberwell to Dulwich. This unfortunate occurrence may well have tempered Barwise's enthusiasm for his house in Dulwich as records indicate it was rented out to tenants by 1813. In around 1816 his sons, John II (who had just turned 21) and Weston, joined him in partnership with the business then becoming 'Barwise & Sons'. Shortly afterwards (probably in 1820) the firm obtained the Royal Warrant as watchmakers to King George IV.John Barwise senior died in 1820; by this time he was a wealthy man leaving two properties and substantial investments to his widow and children. The business was continued by Weston and John II in partnership, however this only lasted six years as Weston died in 1826 leaving the business in the hands of John II alone. It was at this time that John II married and moved from the family home at St. Martin's Lane to nearby 42 Craven Street; and then in 1840 to a spacious residence called East Lodge, near Acton which at that time was in open countryside. At around the same time John Barwise II entered into an alliance with the highly inventive Scottish Clockmaker Alexander Bain who was in the process of developing the first electric timepiece. Barwise and Bain subsequently filed a patent (No. 8743) for an 'Electro-Magnetic Clock' which was granted in January 1841; an example of which was then subsequently exhibited at the Royal Polytechnic Institution shortly afterwards.In 1842 John Barwise II was approached by Pierre Frederic Ingold (1787-1878) to assist in the creation of a watch factory which, by employing newly invented machinery, would be able to mass produce high quality watches at a much smaller cost than the prevalent hand-built movements available at the time. Barwise, along with Thomas Earnshaw junior, subsequently became managing directors of the newly established 'British Watch and Clockmaking Company'. Unfortunately the venture failed, and Barwise was declared bankrupt in 1846. With this he lost his house, East Lodge near Acton, but still managed to keep the business afloat. After a few more years of struggling in the business John Barwise II retired leaving it in the hands of the Swiss watchmaker, Jules Rochat, who joined the firm in 1847. John Barwise II was recorded in the 1861 census as being a 'chronometer maker out of business' and presumably still resided at 7 Queen's Row, Camberwell until his death in 1869. The present timepiece is finely made and finished and of very pleasing small proportions with the design of the case following that of a series of miniature timepieces produced by Grimalde and Johnson, London. The movement of the current clock, however, is of much higher specification than those mostly seen by Grimalde and Johnson, which are generally only single fusee timepieces. Condition Report: Movement is in fine relatively clean working condition and appears very original with no visible evidence of alteration or notable replacements. If intending to put into long-term service however a precautionary gentle clean/lubrication is advised. The dial is in sound original condition, it is presentable with nice overall slightly mellow colouring but has some spots of oxidation and slight rubbing around the winding holes so may benefit from being re-silvered (depending on personal preference). The case is also in fine original condition with the only notable faults being that the putty holding in the front door glass is starting to come loose and drop out. The baseboard of the case is cut with a slot to allow for the pendulum swing - this is an original feature. Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to very minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and edge wear commensurate with age and use.Clock is complete with pendulum, winder and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A REGENCY MAHOGANY FUSEE DROP-DIAL WALL TIMEPIECETHE DIAL SIGNED FOR THOMAS PACE, LONDON, CIRCA 1820The four pillar single fusee movement with tapered plates and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the 12 inch circular convex white painted Roman numeral dial signed THO'S PACE, LONDON to centre and with steel spade hands set within a hinged convex glazed cast brass caddy moulded bezel applied to a conforming caddy moulded wooden surround, secured via pegs to a rectangular rear case with door to right hand side over figured mahogany veneered drop-trunk with rectangular pendulum access flap to the curved underside (glass lacking). 36cm (14.25ins) wide, 44cm (17.25ins) high, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep. Thomas Pace is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Whitechapel, London 1784-1825. Condition Report: Movement is complete with no visible evidence of alteration however is a little dirty/neglected. The mainspring barrel cap has popped-off the barrel but is present - this should be straightforward to re-attach, movement otherwise is essentially in working condition. The movement is fitted to the back of the dial via a falseplate, the holes for pinning the feet applied to the rear of the dial to the falseplate appear a little large which may cause some to believe that the movement may not be original to the dial; however, as both fit perfectly well together, we are inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt (ie. are of the belief that the movement is most likely original to the dial but probably not the case). The dial retains nice old surface with overall light crazing. The bezel is lacking its glass and has been re-attached with visible solder at the junction with the hinge. The wooden surround has a shrinkage crack at three o'clock otherwise is in fine condition. The rear has a veneer patch repair to the curved underside between the front edge and the door. The top has a sound fret fitted and the inside of the trunk has a small notch cut to the upper left hand side - these details would suggest that the case was originally intended to be fitted with a striking (two train) movement. Case is otherwise in good original condition with only minor age-related shrinkage and blemishes.Timepiece has a pendulum and case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y&nbspA REGENCY MAHOGANY MERCURY STICK BAROMETERTHOMAS BLUNT, LONDON, EARLY 19th CENTURYThe caddy moulded case with swan neck pediment over rectangular glazed silvered Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches and signed T.

Edward Nairne died in 1806 although some instruments signed for 'Nairne and Blunt' are believed to have been made after that time. Thomas Blunt was a distinguished instrument maker who was credited with assisting J.H. Magellan with some of the features of his 'New Barometer' devised in 1779. Blunt is believed to have continued alone from his Cornhill address until his death in 1822; he was succeeded by T. Harris.

The dial appears to retain old/original surface with some crazing evident; the black numerals and the signature have been carefully 'strengthened'. The bezel is in good condition retaining its original clasp. The wooden surround has some slight marking at 9 o'clock (most likely from attempts to lever the bezel open at some point) otherwise is in fine condition. The rear box case is in fine original condition but has a small veneer patch repair to the bottom front edge of the drop-trunk and a small chip to the rear left-hand corner. The right-hand side flap has also possibly been reset using a baton applied to the rear edge for the hinges.

A GEORGE III FIGURED MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASEROBERT LAWSON, LEIGH, CIRCA 1785The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 13.25 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial to foliate scroll engraved centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with concentric calendar inner track and Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands, a third brass hand for the concentric calendar and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles, beneath arch with rolling moonphase incorporating lunettes applied with scroll-pierced and engraved ornaments engraved TEMPUS, FUGIT and disc calibrated with the lunar month to the circumference, below further applied silvered plate engraved ROBERT LAWSON, LEIGH following the curvature of the arch, the case with swan beck pediment over hinged glazed dial aperture with 'wavy edged' border to the glass flanked by fluted Doric columns, the sides applied with vertical bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding and plain frieze over shaped-top caddy moulded door faced in book-matched flame-figured veneers flanked by quarter columns, the plinth base with stepped ogee top mouldings over chevron-strung crossbanded fascia flanked by canted angles, on ogee bracket feet.222cm (87.5ins) high, 61cm (24ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep. Rabert Lawson is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Leigh, Lancashire, circa 1787. He was a skilled maker who is known to have produced a tidal dial longcase clock incorporating planetary lunar indication (private collection). Condition Report: Movement appears complete and original and is essentially in working condition but is a little dirty/neglected hence a clean/service is advised. The hammer spring has been moved (former location denoted by spare hole towards the centre of the plate) and repaired. The dial is dirty/tarnished but is in sound original condition. The arch has some slight distortion/bending to the plate (but has no visible cracks or problematic creases). The seconds and calendar hands are replacements, the others appear original and in good condition. The movement retains original seatboard, the cheek uprights of the case are incomplete but the original elements that are present have levels commensurate with the movement and dial hence we are of the opinion that the case is original to the movement and dial. The case is generally in good original condition and is structurally sound. The infill between the swan necks of the pediment has a replaced section at the centre and a small veneer patch repair to the glazed dial aperture surround, otherwise hood appears to free from significant faults although the door hinge requires adjustment and there are a few historic bumps, scuffs and localised repairs including a chip to the base of the right-hand column. The trunk door has a join down the centre which is solid and appears to be an original detail, the lock and hinges are replacements. The trunk and base are otherwise in very sound condition but with poor neglected finish and repairs to the feet. Other faults to the case are generally limited to relatively light historic bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear.Clock has pendulum, two weights, a case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A LATE VICTORIAN GILT BRASS MINIATURE MANTEL/BRACKET TIMEPIECE WITH FIRED-ENAMEL DIALJUMP, LONDON, CIRCA 1900The four pillar single chain fusee movement with arched plates and anchor escapement regulated by heavy disc bob pendulum with pendulum holdfast to the backplate, the 3.5 inch circular convex white fired enamel Roman numeral dial signed JUMP, 93 MOUNT ST., LONDON to centre and with Arabic fifteen minutes beyond the outer dot minute track, with gilt Breguet moon hands, the heavy cast gilt brass case with hinged carrying handle to the stepped ogee-shaped caddy superstructure and moulded break-arch cornice over full-height front door fitted with a convex glass for the dial and an inset silvered apron panel engraved with an oval cartouche within husk border, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures set within channelled surrounds and the rear with break-arch glazed door, on stepped ogee moulded skirt base with block feet.21.5cm (8.5ins) high with handle down, 13.5cm (5.25ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep. Richard Huyton Jump (born 1785) joined the workshop of Benjamin Louis Vulliamy in 1812. Two of his sons, Richard and Joseph, also worked for Vulliamy from 1835 and 1827 respectively. The brothers would have no doubt worked alongside the French master clockmaker Sylvian Mairet who trained under Breguet and also probably got to know James Ferguson Cole who produced a series of 'hump-back' carriage clocks in the Breguet tradition (a form which was later revived by Jump later in the century). Benjamin Louis Vulliamy died in 1854, the following year Joseph Jump, together with a third younger brother Alfred, set-up in business at 1A Bond Street, London as successors to Vulliamy. They were joined by Joseph's son, Henry, who continued working with his father after his uncle Alfred died in 1872; and then by Henry's first son, Henry Percival in 1875. In 1890 the business moved to 55 Pall Mall, In 1897 Henry Jump's second son, Arthur Huyton, joined the firm and they moved to 93 Mount Street, London the following year where they remained until the cessation of the business in 1934. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or notable replacements (the pendulum holdfast knob appears to be the only obvious replacement). A precautionary clean/service is advised. The enamel dial has some slight chipping to the winding hole and a small crescent-shaped edge crack at four o'clock otherwise faults appear to be limited to a couple of small patches of dirt/grime. The case is particularly heavy and is in very good original condition retaining old thick hand-burnished fire gilding but with some light rubbing/wear throughout. The panel beneath the dial has overall mellowing and a couple of slight blemishes to the silvering and the rear door glass is broken and incomplete.Timepiece has original pendulum and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer
