Late Victorian era, Hand carved black walnut, two train, dual spring powered, eight day, time and striking wall clock (non fusee), perhaps used as a pub clock or school clock at one time, unsigned by the maker, made in England, made circa 1880-1890s. Case: This is a 67 cm x 40 cm x 10 cm carved walnut wall clock with a round dial bezel carved with intertwining vines in a form of old interlocking penmanship with some of the enclosures having nuts or medallions inside the enclosure. The dial enclosure has a glazed brass bezel overlying in the dial. Below is a short drop box with glass at the centre for viewing the swing of the pendulum. The interior backboard has been repainted in a robin’s egg blue. The lower glass is flanked by carvings of scrollwork, foliage and rosettes with a horizontal ledge at the bottom and a carved pedestal below. The shaped pedestal has acorns and nuts with a leaf carved into the surface in bas relief. The sides of the case have wooden bars for attaching the rectangular movement box to the dial part of the clock. A typical English feature. . . . . . Dial: White enamelled dial with Roman hours, closed bar minute track, fenestrated steel quatrefoil Victorian hands. There are two winding arbors lower down in the dial centre which who no evidence of hanging been used. Dial is unsigned. 42 x 68cm
Provincial, mahogany or mahoganized oak, two weight, eight day time and hourly striking longcase clock, made by Charles Maxey, Wallingford, (Berkshire/Oxfordshire), England circa 1765-1770.Case: 200 cm x 50 cm x 27 cm mahogany or mahoganized oak longcase clock made in the provincial manner of the English southern countryside. The hood has a flat top, overhung ogival moulded pediment with down to a tympanum which is essentially a horizontal frieze above a multi-stepped cornice sitting over the square glazed dial door which has no evidence of ever having hood pillars and has a small rectangular stile at the rear of the outer hood. There is a large concave moulding that transitions down to the trunk section with its full length rectangular door with two exposed knuckle hinges on the right and a brass key escutcheon on the left side. The interior of the door has breadboards added to prevent warping of the door and elongated lantern hinges are noted inside the door. The front corners of the trunk are sharp with evidence of columns. An ogival shaped moulding leads down to the squarish unadorned base which sits in a broad flat base moulding, flat to the floor. . . . Dial: A square brass dial plate with applied silvered roman hour chapter ring with closed bar minute track to the outside with large Arabic numerals placed at each five minute marker (the large size Arabic numerals usually point to a date in mid to late second half of the 18th century. The dial centre is engraved with floral and foliate curling patterns along with a hanging lantern or two and many vines. There are likely matching steel diamond shaped hands dating to the 19th century and are apparent replacements for the originals. The hour hand is hidden by the auction sign. The bottom of the chapter ring is engraved “Cha†Maxey, Wallingfordâ€. The cast and applied gilt corner spandrels are of the ‘C’ scroll and foliate type and date in England to the era 1760-1785, and appear quite correct. The dial plate fits the dial matte perfectly. . . Movement: Not shown and most likely this would be a double weight driven solid brass rectilinear shaped movement with the front and rear plates connected by knopped and cuffed brass pillars (four), anchor recoil escapement, flywheel and either a rack and snail or countwheel striking system powered by the descent of two brass canister weights, most likely of eight day duration but may also be of 30 hour duration. (The movement has not been shown) There is a long pendulum rod and brass covered bob swinging inside the trunk of the casing. . . . . . Condition: I believe this is a mahogany stained oak case made in the countryside of England. The lack of hood pillars suggest that the door may have been replaced or the hood pillars simply left off the case to save on cost. Loss of finish in spots, especially at the base. Replaced set of steel hands. The fact that the weights are not link chain held I believe this to be an eight day clock where the cabinetmaker made the simplest case that he could. Remember that early on most worked as undertakers who built coffins before English longcase clocks were devised in the 1670s. Condition of the dial is very good except for the replaced hands and the dial belongs to this case c. C. 1765-1770
Mahogany, Oak, brass, glass, and blued steel, Art deco era, two train spring driven,eight day time and hour/half hour striking mantel clock (movement #541), made by Smith’s Astral of Coventry, in the central highlands of England, circa 1935. Case: Mahogany mantel clock measuring 20 cm x 27 cm x 12 cm and having a shallow tambour or napoleon Hat type undulating pediment above the concentrically shaped facade of the case centering the zinc glazed bezel and the façade flanked by ebonized stop fluted pillars, one to either side. The base is built in two parts, the upper has horizontal dentil moulding above the concave moulded bracket feet with undulating apron between the front feet. The shape of the concave and dentil moulding continues on both sides of the base. The back of the case is stained and flat with a bulbous round and brass cross-hatched round door for access to the movement compartment. The door has a long hinge on the right and simple metal pull. . . . . Dial: Round silvered metal round dial with enameled Roman hours, closed bar minute track, steel Continental style hands. The dial is unsigned. . . . . Movement: A round solid brass movement with tubular posts connecting the plates and screwed together with metal washers at the rear plate to hold the gearing stable. The back plate is marked #541 and most importantly carries the logo of Astral clocks of Coventry /England. The logo is in the form of a clock key with the heart shaped handle above enclosing the word, Coventry and below the key the word Astral. Of significance is the use of a lever or anchor escapement in conjunction with the marine-type balance-wheel with single lever for adjusting the speed of the movement. The going barrel drives the clock for eight days and causes hour and half hourly striking on a coiled metal Cathedral gong. . . . . . Condition: Case – Tiny chips and splatters of white paint and wear to the case finish. Wear to the edges of the case. Case is fair to good condition. Dial: In good to very good condition with minimal signs of oxidation and slight darkened patina from age. Movement appears to be genuine, original and in good condition. c. Circa 1935.
Lepine Mantle Clock Dore bronze and glass, two train (missing the strike train), single spring driven, balance wheel escapement, eight-day, non-striking mantel clock made in a form approximating an Anglaise variant of a carriage clock, retailed by the firm of Lepine of Paris, unsigned movement of Continental origin (original most likely French), made circa 1900. [With Twentieth century alterations.] Case: 30 cm x 28 cm x 13 cm Dore bronze mantel clock made in a form of carriage clock which has a close to square shape and styled in a variant of the Anglaise carriage clock style. It is a mantel clock because of the style of the movement within the case (see below). The case has gilt brass fluted pilasters at the four corner posts and glass on the façade, sides and back of the case. There is Dore bronze shaped and fluted carrying handle above with gilt plumes at the centre and at the end of the handle a mobile hinge. There is a large rectangular bevelled glass lenticel on the flat pediment of the case. Not shown but allowing visualization of the platform escapement. There is also a repeat strike on demand button at the front, which in this clock may be useless since there appears to be nor strike train currently in the movement. Below the overhanging pediment is a row of gilt foliate ornamentation above the horizontal gilt frieze over the dial. The two Corinthian type fluted pilasters flank the glass overlying the dial. Below is a double beaded border across the façade of the case (the sides are not shown) and likely goes fully around the four sides of the base. There is a broad architecture base with recessed façade, sitting flat to the surface and flanked by Dore bronze plinths, slightly thrust forward, upon which rest the fluted pilasters. Dial: square silvered dial plate with round Roman hour enamelled chapter ring, closed minute track to the outside, steel Breguet hands, no winding apertures and the dial centre is marked for “Lepine a Paris†(see history). Movement: Round solid brass plate movement, brass tubular pillars connect the plates and are pinned at the back plate, marine lever, i.e., balance wheel lever escapement, steel cut pinions, two-barrel springs should power the clock for eight days and cause striking, but the strike train has been removed. The strike train is usually placed on the left side when looking at the dial and therefore looking at the movement from the rear it should normally be on the right side, and that is where it appears to have been removed. There is no need for a pendulum since the clock uses a balance wheel escapement. In fact, the lever has a vertical pointer at the top of the movement for making the movement run faster and slower. This was likely a French made time and strike French made movement where the anchor escapement and strike side was replaced with a balance wheel time only movement between the plates. Condition: Case – Not a true carriage clock although with the alterations, it can serve as one if you drive a horse and carriage. (Well, it is better for the environment.) The case has some green areas of oxidation and indicates a high content of copper in the brass, since cupric oxide is green. Movement – Missing its strike train and the time train has been replaced with a lever-balance wheel escapement. Movement unsigned. Dial: Good with patchy darkened areas of oxidation of the silvered surface. c. Circa 1900 with 20th century alterations
