JOHN KNIBB OF OXFORD, an early 18th Century eight day walnut long case clock, the hood with two flaming urn finials to the caddy top, rectangular glazed side panels and with doric columns with brass caps to all four corners, the 28cm/11'' diameter brass dial with pierced brass boys and crown spandrels, silvered chapter ring with Roman and Arabic numerals, with subsidiary heart shaped date aperture and oval name plate, the plain trunk door with moulded surround, the plinth with stepped base, height 233.5cm, with pendulum, two weights and three winding keys Condition Report We recommend viewing the 25 photos online to assist with condition:- further photos will be added today showing close ups of the inside hinges and seat board through the hood door. The case has evidence of old woodworm damage, not in huge quantities, small patches, mostly on the sides of the hood, some has been filled. There are splits to the case throughout, in particular around glazed sides of hood, along the cushion moulded edge and the concave moulding below the overhang, similar splits to the concave moulding at the base of the hood. The trunk door is slightly warped at the bottom left hand corner. There is more substantial splits/cracks along the bottom edge of the trunk door and top right corner of the trunk door, the trunk door surround has gaps in the moulded edge. There is a horizontal split in the veneer across the trunk door in line with the escutcheon. The base has a number of splits in particular the front corners of the stepped plinth base, there is also a patch of veneer loss along the front of the bottom edge as well as a small patch of repair to the right hand side edge. The clock has come from a deceased estate and we have not seen the clock working, please purchase on the assumption it will need attention. The backboard has lots of screw holes where it has been fixed to a wall as well as knot holes in the oak. The interior also has wear due to rubbing of the pendulum. There is nothing obvious to make us think this is a marriage, the dual sits very well in the hood. The cat gut is clean as is the movement overall so its likely to have had an overhaul in recent years. The oval maker's name is engraved on a brass plaque and is inset into the dial, there are no other signs of other names having been erased on the dial so if it has been added it could only have been a name in an oval previously. Our opinion is that the seat board is a replacement.

A GEORGE III AND LATER EBONISED AND GILT METAL MUSICAL STRIKING AND QUARTER CHIMING BRACKET CLOCK, the bell shaped top with central flaming vase finial and four urn finials, above a pediment with fret brass and red fabric sound fret, the arched glazed door enclosing a repainted cream dial with strike/silent, chime/silent and musical dial listing 'Evening Hymn, Loves Ritonello, Rule Britannia, Swiss Boy, Huntsman Chorus, God Save the King, Tancredia', above the main dial with Roman numerals, four train mechanism, eight day movement, striking and chiming on a total of twelve bells, musical cylinder below bells, the backplate engraved 'John Williams, 55 Goodge Street, London, the arched rear door with brass and fabric sound fret, two brass side handles, the whole case on four gilt foliate scroll feet, height 73cm, with pendulum, key and bag of bits of wood and metal, with the clock carries a typed card which details 'On the front plate of the movement behind the dial plate is impressed the name of J Thwaites 35 43 337', on the top of the clock is scratched into the wood F and S with arrows Condition Report Three measurements of movement 1) Plate top to bottom = 25.7cm. (2 Left right = 25.7cm at widest point to 21.8cm below cylinder (3 Measurement of distance of back to front of two plates of movement = 6cm (4 Diameter of spring barrels is approximately 8cm. We do not have a photograph of the J Thwaites stamp and numbers, only the piece of card with the typed mention of it. We believe the dial may be a replacement, but is certainly repainted and it is possible it was seen at this time. We have not dismantled the movement to see if the name exists. The clock does run but the musical mechanism needs some attention to the bells as at least one is slounding dull when struck. The strike is current one hour ahead of itself. We don't know the musical tunes but 'God Save The King' is recognisable in places and is playing this as per the tune selector. The dial is possibly a replacement but has most certainly been repaited, areas of paint can be seen on the back of the dial. The clock runs, strikes on the quarters, but strikes an hour ahead of itself. Both the repeat pull cords operate the mechanism but both are very brittle and need replacing. The Interior of the case is not Original and much may have been replacesd during the 20th Century. The very top of the case is not original and the loose finial does not match the other four on the corners. The fabri in the sound frets is worn red velvet. The scrolled frets on the sides are a little mishapen. No woodworm damage has been spotted. Not all the parts in the bag appear to belong to the clock. We are unsure what relevance they have to this item. There is additional information and a short video on the-saleroom.com for this lot which may be of assistance to you. The 'and later' refers to a repainted or replacement dial, changes to the innards of the case, alterations to the very top of the clock, it certainly isn't as it started, the casem and movement may have been made to fit each other. I am afraid I cannot comment on the orginality of the pendulum rise/fall mechanism as I cannot see inside the plates due to all the bells,cylinders, strikers, etc. All I can say is that the post holding the pendulum is fastened to the interior roof of the 'chimney'
