A MID-VICTORIAN WALNUT DISPLAY CABINET-ON-STAND mid-19th century, of George II style, the rectangular top with scrolled corner brackets, above a mirrored frieze and a pair of glazed doors with quatrefoil borders, enclosing a grey watered-silk lined interior with four shaped adjustable shelves, the lower section with a pair of glazed doors below a quatrefoil-pierced gadrooned waist moulding, on quatrefoil pierced legs with pierced angle brackets, 215cm high x 107cm wide x 37cm deep .Provenance: The Brymer family at Ilsington House, Puddletown, DorsetThe cabinet-on-stand is characteristic of the ‘Chippendale Revival’ style, which was popular in the 1830s and 1840s after John Weale claimed his collection of engravings published c. 1834 were after Thomas Chippendale’s Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker’s Director, 1759-1764, when in reality they were fanciful reimaginings (see Bowett & Lomax, Thomas Chippendale: A celebration of British Craftsmanship and Design, ~2018, p. 192, no. 8.5). This coincided with a revival of interest in the Gothic style of decoration and architecture, encouraged by the contemporary publications of the leading Gothic revivalist architect A. W. N. Pugin and others. Whilst Pugin encouraged a medievalist approach to decoration, others sought to revive earlier popular styles including the great age of English furniture, epitomised by the work of Thomas Chippendale. Chippendale’s famous ‘Violin’ Bookcase at Wilton House, Wiltshire, also included a mirror in its door; the compact china cabinet supplied for the 5th Earl of Dumfries for Dumfries House, Ayrshire in the late 1750s is designed in a loosely exotic style.

The clockmaking business of John Smith and Sons of Clerkenwell can trace its roots back to 1780 however gained much greater significance when they became established in St. John's Square, at the former manufactory of Colonel Mangier, from 1844. The firm ran extensive workshops which incorporated a dedicated brass foundry, clock case workshop and assembly areas for the various types of clocks produced and was featured in the 20th September 1851 issue of the Illustrated London News in an article entitled Visit to a Clerkenwell Clock Factory. At the Great Exhibition held that year they exhibited a year going calendar clock and another chiming clock, chiming on 8 bells and striking on a gong. Ultimately John Smith and Sons perhaps became best known for their skeleton clocks, many of which illustrated in their 1865 catalogue including models based on Litchfield Cathedral and York Minster, however they also produced many fine chiming bracket clocks, longcase regulators, wall clocks and public clocks. The business continued to produce clocks until 1938 when, due to the decline in demand for mechanical timepieces, they diversified to become specialist material stockholders and still continue in this role today.It has been traditionally thought by vendor's family that the current lot was exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition. Although there is no evidence to support this, the movement and case are certainly of very fine quality hence would warrant this belief. Interestingly a quarter chiming longcase clock shown by Smith and Sons at the Paris 1900 Exhibition survives in the collection of The National Trust at Castle Drogo, Devon (object/902584). This clock also has a three train four pillar movement with Harrison's maintaining power, mercury jar pendulum and chimes the quarters on eight bells or four gongs, and is housed in an elaborate Chippendale style gilt brass mounted mahogany case.Condition Report: Lot 135The movement is in fine clean fully working condition having being relatively recently serviced (prior to the former owner's death). The level of mercury in the pendulum needs topping-up (is low) and there is staining to the interior of the glass jar. The dial generally is in fine clean condition but does have a couple of light spots of tarnishing.The case is in fine condition with faults limited to the small section of angled cornice moulding to the front right hand side being detached (just need gluing back on!); one small section (approx 1 inch) of the unusual repeating block decoration to the trunk door missing; a small loss to the front left hand corner top moulding of the base and a small loss to the left hand side fret. Otherwise faults are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, slight shrinkage and wear (most notably to the skirt) commensurate with age and use.Clock is complete with pendulum, three weights, case key and winder.Maximum dimensions at base - width 67cm (26.5ins), depth 35cm (13.75ins).
