J.H. CHAMBERLAIN (1831-1883) GOTHIC REVIVAL LONGCASE CLOCK, CIRCA 1878 carved oak and walnut, inset with marquetry panels, and carved to the roundel with initials TR, the 14" silvered brass dial inscribed HURT & SON, BIRMINGHAM, with seconds dial and strike silent facility, the three-train movement with dead-beat escapement, quarter-chiming on a nest of eight bells and striking the hour on a subsidiary bellDimensions:61cm wide, 248.5cm high, 30cm deepNote: Note: This magnificent clock was designed by the architect, John Henry Chamberlain, and the case was probably made in the workshop of Samuel Barfield, a skilled woodcarver who frequently worked for Chamberlain. A related set of wall shelves and an entire room by Chamberlain, currently on display in the British Galleries at the Victoria and Albert Museum, were removed from The Grove, Harborne. The Grove, demolished in 1963, was one of a wide range of projects designed by Chamberlain and his partner William Martin (1828-1900) in and around Birmingham. Frequently designed in the Ruskinian Gothic style they pumping stations, libraries, schools, shops, churches and chapels as well as a number of private houses. His ideals chimed perfectly with Birmingham's ruling liberals at the time, who sought to transform industrial Birmingham into a cultural centre to rival the great European capitals. One of his finest achievements, the Municipal School of Art of 1885, still stands today in Margaret Street. Chamberlain was one of the earliest practical exponents of the ideas of architectural theorist, John Ruskin and was increasingly influenced by the early Arts and Crafts movement in his later works. His belief in the value of individual craftsmanship and patterns inspired by nature are evident in the profusely carved and inlaid case of the current lot.

ARCHIBALD KNOX (1864-1933) FOR LIBERTY & CO., LONDON RARE CRUCIFORM 'TUDRIC' CLOCK, CIRCA 1902 model 098, pewter, inlaid with abalone shell, stamped TUDRIC 098 Dimensions:37.5cm high Note: Literature: Martin S. Archibald Knox, London 2001, pp.70-75, pp.70 and 235 illus. Note: Knox’s work draws on the rich cultural heritage of his native Isle of Man. As with many of the larger clocks that are known to exist, their monumental forms are reminiscent of the standing Celtic stones which populate the island’s countryside, which Knox spent a lifetime exploring. The decoration in this example is stripped of superfluous ornament and is sparingly embellished with inlays of iridescent abalone shell. The soft sheen of its flat pewter surface is punctuated by the exuberant chapters, and the whole creates a stark and striking visual effect that signals a modernist and highly original approach to the design. This is a rare clock, one of the great clocks of Knox's 'Liberty Period' and one of only a handful known. It fulfils his desire to bring together two worlds which he valued deeply: the ancient Celtic tradition and the new, modern world of design, which was undergoing the development of a new and innovative aesthetic.
