Barber, Winster"", the case with long trunk door and quarter column corners. Height 207 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The clock case requires some resotration. Approximately 12 cm of the dentil moulding to the cornice is missing. Both rear pillars are missing the bottom block. The clock is not a marraige. We have the weight and pendulum. When weight is applied to the movement the clock ticks and advances. Approximately 50% of the dentil work below the hood is missing. The trunk door is not warped. It has the original lock, escutcheon and hinges. The sides of the case are in good condition. The joins to the corners of the base are a little sprung and there is a stress fracture to the front panel. The bottom base moulding is an old but later replacement. The backboards are original. The left hand return moulding just above the top of the door is missing. The case is generally a good colour but does require some restoration as stated. Please note that whilst this lot is not a marriage in terms of the dial and case. The 30 hour movement is not original to the dial itself.

Lot 1167

A George III oak longcase clock by E. Foster Carlisle, with thirty hour movement, long trunk door and 12 inch square dial with date aperture, also inscribed "John & Mary Foster". Height 203 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: Whilst we have not had the clock running as the pendulum is missing the metal suspension, when weight is applied to the going train the clock does tick. When the hands are advanced the date wheel does advance. It is difficult to tell whether the movement and case have always been together. The seat board is old however the clock cheeks are both different heights and have short sections of timber between the top of the cheek and the seat board. The mask around the dial fits reasonably well. The right hand return to the cornice has a loss to the rear right hand corner. Both pilasters are loose and there is some loss to the plaster work at top and bottom. The glazed door is in good condition and not warped. The sides of the hood are in good order. The main trunk door is not warped. The sides of the trunk are in good condition. The base has a stress fracture to the right hand side. Both sides are slightly sprung.

Lot 23

Erskine Nicol RSA ARA (1825-1904)Preparing for Market DayOil on canvas, 103 x 83cm (40½ x 32¾'')Signed and dated 1867Although born and living the majority of his life in Scotland, Nicol had an enduring interest in Ireland and Irish society. He first visited in 1846 and stayed for four years and returned regularly over the course of his artistic career. Nicol established a studio for his work at Cloncave in County Westmeath. As a mid-19th century artist, Nicol inhabits an interesting period in which there was a gradual shift away from Romantic painting to what would become in a more concrete sense towards the latter end of the century, a ‘Realist’ style. However, an issue, which pervaded Irish art well into the twentieth century, was the lack of any homogenous school of Irish painting. There had always been a tension between the way Irish people viewed themselves and the way in which they were viewed by others from the outside. A difficulty made more apparent alongside the emerging realist style as there was a tendency for British painters to present Irish rural life through a biased and sentimental lens. While Nicols is best known for his depictions of the poor and marginalised members of Irish society - particularly pertinent since his arrival coincided with the Great Famine (1845-52) which devastated the country- there was a fine line between bearing witness to the plight and struggles of those individuals and pandering to a stereotype of the ‘stage Irishmen’ through a Victorian moralising lens. Fairs and markets were a crucial element of social and commercial life of Irish towns for centuries. The occasion is apparent in the fashion of the gentleman as he steps out the door wearing his top hat and inverness outer coat. Nicol draws our attention to certain accents of details, the red neckerchief, the striped train of the mother’s dress, blue child’s bonnet or the pile of turnips on the ground. These vegetables belies a more rural character to the image balanced by the two small children leading the pigs to their pen or the woman in background of the image shielding her face from the sun while carrying a large basket in one hand, presumably on her way to work in the fields. In poor farming families the luxury of shoes was reserved for the men who needed them while working with the livestock. However, in this image none of the family members is barefoot; this scene is more of a light-hearted and cheerful depiction of Irish social rituals. Although the location is not indicated, Donnybrook’s annual fair was infamous for attracting artists to record its lively and at times raucous spirit. Nicols often focused on these less salubrious aspects in his paintings but in this instance the present example reflects a more subtle and considered reflection capturing a tender moment of domestic life.
