A large Victorian mahogany three door library bookcase, with moulded cornice above three glazed doors enclosing adjustable shelves, the base fitted with cupboard doors and plinth. Width 72 ins. CONDITION REPORT: Height 87.5 ins. The piece is in need of some restoration. The cornice is generally in good order with a minor veneer loss to the front right hand corner. The crossbanded frieze below is all present and intact but the veneer is slightly lifting in places. It is not problematic. The three doors are not warped, the left hand door does however have approximately 50% of the moulding around the glazing missing. We do however have the all important left hand half round corner section. The base has the left hand top return moulding completely missing. There is also some resulting veneer damage around the left hand front corner. The left hand side of the base is in good order. The right hand side is generally in good condition although an inch section of the thin return moulding is missing right at the rear by the wall. The left hand base door is missing its lock. The centre door is very slightly warped but not significantly. The right hand door locks as it should. All door fronts are a little tatty. The plinth base is a little scuffed as one would expect.

A Victorian pine dresser base, fitted with three drawers above three cupboard doors and with plinth base. Width 78 ins. CONDITION REPORT: Depth 24 ins, height 35.5 ins, length 78 ins. We do not have the missing handle. The dresser is not in particularly good condition. It has been very well used and has numerous surface scuffs, marks and scratches. There are substantial scuffs along the front edge of the top. The three bottom doors are a little difficult to open and are loose at the hinges. The moulding around the door fronts has shrunk from the panels and sections are a little loose. The drawers themselves all run as they should but are badly scuffed and knocked. The side panels are in generally reasonable condition and the plinth base original. The piece really requires a complete clean and general overall .
An early 19th century mahogany longcase clock, by George Innes of Glasgow, with circular dial and well figured mahogany case raised on bracket feet. CONDITION REPORT: There is a small section of veneer missing to one of the rounded corners on the pediment. The remainder of the hood is in good order. The trunk door is in good condition and not warped. The base of the clock is similarly in good order. There are some minor scuffs around the bracket feet as one would expect. The movement is reasonably clean and we have the weights and pendulum. We have not had the clock operating as the small metal strip at the top of the pendulum is missing. The clock face is in original condition with strong colours and some minor surface scratches but no significant issues. Both the strike mechanism and going mechanism operate when weight is applied to the pulleys suggesting that with the minor repair to the top of the pendulum the clock is likely to run.
A mahogany cased grandmother clock, by Grant & Son, Edinburgh, with three-train movement striking on eight gongs. CONDITION REPORT: This clock is in generally first class condition. There is a small veneer loss to the top rear of the hood approximately 2cm long and 3mm wide. This is right at the back by the wall. There are also further minor stress cracks across the top of the hood. Other than this the hood is in first class condition. The movement is extremely clean and ticking away. We have the pendulum. The clock appears to be striking as it should . The trunk door is not warped and the sides of the clock and base are all in first class condition. There is no need for any repair or restoration.

CONDITION REPORT: The clock is currently ticking and striking as it should. There does not appear to be any damage to the face. The glass panels to the sides, top and door are in good order. The brasswork also is in very good condition. The clock is probably later than Edwardian and looks to date from the 1970's. It is not Edwardian.
A massive Black Forest cuckoo clock, wall mounting, playing four tunes, one on the hour and one of the half hour, in well carved case. The cuckoo comes out on the hour and a musician on the half hour, weight driven. Maximum width 27 ins, maximum height 64 ins (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The clock is basically in working order but does require some fine tuning. The cuckoo appears to operate and the tunes do play. The figure only comes out of the door approximately half way. The clock appears to be ticking away as it should and it is unlikely to have any series issues. Unfortunately we do not know the names of the tunes although two of them do sound familiar.
