Mitchells

Lot 1163

An early 19th century oak and mahogany longcase clock by John Blaylock of Carlisle, with two train striking movement. Interestingly the weights are both cast "Blaylock Carlisle". Height 212 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The movement winds on both trains and is complete with weights and pendulum. It is currently ticking away and striking when advanced. The polish to the case is a little dry in places, however the case is in generally good condition with no significant issues. Neither door is warped. The base has some minor edge nibbles to the crossbanded veneers but no real issues. We can see no evidence of any woodworm.

Mitchells

Lot 1067

A Victorian mahogany bookcase, with moulded cornice glazed upper doors and the base fitted with a drawer and panelled cupboard doors and all raised on a plinth. Height 207 cm, width 100.5 cm, depth 45 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The cornice is in generally good condition all round with only minor veneer nibbles at the corners. The upper doors are not warped and close as they should. We have the lock and key. The shelves are in good order and the glass is not damaged. The shelf below the doors has ring marks and scratches as is typical. The left-hand door is currently detached. This would easily fix back into place. The carcass is not damaged around the hinges which are present. Quite why the door has been removed we do not know. The sides of the bookcase are in generally good order.

Mitchells

Lot 675

A Volvo two door saloon from the Volvo 120 Series, petrol, green, 1778 cc, mileage 87,903, with original keys, warranty, service booklet and V5C form (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The vehicle has come in for sale from a local deceased estate. We have not made any attempt to start the vehicle. The chassis number on the V5 is 306976 and the engine number 5265936. The car has been under present ownership since June 2008 and the V5 states four former keepers. There are some receipts with the paperwork but nothing of any significance. The last MOT was 2011/2012 where the recorded mileage was 87,844. The previous MOT's go back to 1993 where the mileage was recorded as 66,767. The last four MOT's show the vehicle as having only travelled 100 or so miles each year. The present pedometer reading is 87,903, suggesting that the vehicle has only travelled 100 or so miles since 2012. Whilst the vehicle seems fairly solid we cannot give any sensible condition report on either the mechanics or bodywork of the car.

Mitchells

Lot 345

An Edwardian Elliott mahogany cased triple fusee bracket clock, striking on eight bells and five gongs and with silvered brass dial. Height 68 cm, width 44 cm, depth 32 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The movement winds on all three trains. We have the pendulum. The clock does tick for a short period but then stops. The movement seems to strike as it should when advanced manually. The face is reasonably clean although the silvering around all dials is rubbed. The bevelled glass door when viewed from the front is in good condition. There are however two small chips around the retaining nails when viewed from the inside. The mahogany case is in generally good order but could do with a polish. All metalwork is tarnished and dirty. The block beneath the centre pineapple is a different colour. Perhaps the case originally had a handle. The side grilles are dirty but in good structural order. The gilding to the feet is largely gone. We do have the key. The grille to the rear door is buckled but is present.

A FINE SWISS GILT BRASS MINUTE-REPEATING MINIATURE CARRIAGE TIMEPIECERETAILED BY J.W. BENSON LIMITED, LONDON, CIRCA 1900The rectangular frosted silvered eight-day two-in-one single going barrel movement with platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the repeat train sounding the hour on the larger of two gongs before ting-tang quarters and finally the minutes passed after the last quarter on the smaller gong, the backplate with visible winding clicks and take-off work for driving the repeat mechanism, with circular trademark RTP monogram to left hand margin opposing stamped BREV (Swiss cross) DER and number 14007 to right hand margin, the rectangular cream enamel Roman numeral dial with gilt spade hands over retailer's signature J.W. BENSON LTD, LUDGATE HILL, LONDON, and SWISS MADE, the frosted gilt anglaise variant bevel-glazed bowfronted case of Mignonette No. 2 size with hinged looped carrying handle over rectangular top glass and curved-front caddy-moulded cornice inset with a reeded band, with fluted Corinthian columns to corners and glazed rear door, on caddy moulded skirt base, the underside stamped 963; in original gilt-tooled green leather travelling/display case with winding key.The timepiece 9cm (3.5ins) high with handle down, 5.5cm (2.125ins) wide, 5cm (2ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. The firm of J.W. Benson has its roots in the partnership between brothers James William and Samuel Suckley Benson which traded as watchmakers, goldsmiths and silversmiths in Cornhill, London from 1847 until 1855. James William Benson continued the business alone and opened a premises at 33 Ludgate Hill which quickly expanded to absorb number 34 as well. By the 1860's Benson was advertising his large and richly stocked shop with adjoining workshop specialising in the manufacture of clocks and watches as well as their repair. J.W. Benson exhibited at numerous international exhibitions including London 1862, Paris 1867 and subsequently at the 1885 'Invention Exhibition' where the firm unveiled its 'Patent Dust and Damp Excluding Band for Watches'. In 1872 J.W. Benson opened a shop on Bond Street; he died in 1878 however the business continued to expand under the management of his sons, Alfred and Arthur, with another shop on Ludgate Hill and steam powered factory in La Belle Sauvage yard opening in 1890.In 1879 the firm of J.W. Benson was awarded a Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria and in 1889 they acquired the business of the celebrated silversmiths and goldsmiths Hunt and Roskell. The business continued well into the 20th century however their factory was lost in a bombing raid during WWII; the Bond Street store continued trading until it was taken over by Mappin and Webb during the 1980's. Miniature carriage clocks are called Mignonnettes or 'little darlings' and come in three graded sizes with No. 1 being the smallest. Miniature minute-repeating carriage timepieces were developed by Swiss makers during the last decade of the 19th century, who utilised their skills as watchmakers to produce high-quality movements such as that used in the present lot. Condition Report: The movement is in fine working condition having been recently fully serviced. The dial appears free from visible damage or wear. The case is in fine condition with good strong gilding exhibiting minimal wear or discolouration. The front glass has slight chipping to the inside of three of the corners. The protective case has some wear/discolouration to the silk lining and the strap handle has a break; otherwise faults limited to slight wear to the leather most notably around the front claspTimepiece is complete with winding key.

Lot 104

Y A FINE FRENCH GILT FRETWORK AND PORTRAIT MINIATURE INSET GRANDE-SONNERIE ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCKUNSIGNED, PARIS, CIRCA 1900 The eight-day two train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and sounding the hour every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 342 to the lower left hand corner, the dial with circular white enamel Roman numeral disc decorated with concentric repeating polychrome floral swags to centre and with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with gilt trefoil hands set within a fine bright-cut engraved and pierced foliate scrollwork rectangular mask incorporating conforming subsidiary enamel Arabic alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt brass bevel-glazed anglaise riche variant case with spiral reeded baton to the hinged carrying handle over thick top glass, complex moulded inverted breakfront cornice and fluted frieze, the angles with twist-reeded three-quarter columns with Corinthian capitals and the sides with fine foliate pierced and engraved frets incorporating oval line delineated panel enclosing fine portrait miniatures of Marie Antoinette opposing Madame Elizabeth each executed on ivory set behind a convex glass, the rear with bevel-glazed door, on generous cavetto over ogee moulded inverted breakfront skirt base incorporating shallow block feet, the underside with G'de Sonnerie/P'te Sonnerie/Silence selection switch; with a Morocco covered outer travelling case including winding key.The clock 17.5cm (7ins) high with handle down, 11cm (4.25ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands; previously the property of Lord and Lady Swaythling. Although this rather impressive high-quality current clock appears to be unsigned it does share some strong similarities with the work of LeRoy and Fils, and can be compared to less ornamental example sold in these rooms on Wednesday 24th June 2020 (lot 98).Please note Dreweatts have an ivory exemption licence for this lot 4J9QZTH1Condition Report: Movement is running and the striking mechanism is operational. The grande-sonnerie works except for at quarter to the hour (last quarter) when the strike fails to activate (strikes correctly when repeat button is pressed during the last quarter). This suggests that a release pin is to the under-dial work is either missing or out of alignment hence would most likely be a simple repair. Clock otherwise is fully operational including the alarm and strike selection lever to underside, however a gentle/clean service is advised. The dial is in fine condition with no visible faults other than some very slight discolouration to the minute hand. The case is essentially in near immaculate condition with good strong gilding throughout and no visible damage to the glasses (including those for the portrait miniatures). The right-hand side miniature appears to have a very slight surface blemish (possibly a restored crack?) to the background behind the figure's head (towards right hand margin). Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to a few tiny barely noticeable bumps.The outer travelling case appears original to the clock but is fairly heavily worn with broken strap handle and missing button inserts for the repeat button and clasp. The interior is in sound condition. Clock has a winding/setting key. Condition Report Disclaimer
