AN INTERESTING PROVINCIAL PARQUETRY DECORATED WALNUT SMALL THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCKMAJOR SCHOFIELD, ROCHDALE, CIRCA 1750, THE CASE PROBABLY EARLIERThe four pillar two-handed countwheel bell striking movement with Huygens endless rope winding and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 10.25 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture and dummy winding holes to the rococo scroll and floral spray engraved centre signed Major, Schofield, ROCH,DALE to centre, within applied Roman numeral with foliate scroll half hour markers and large Arabic five minutes beyond the arcaded minute ring incorporating text Tempus Fugit to upper margin, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and applied figural cast 'four seasons' spandrels to angles, in a case with generous ogee cornice and plain frieze over hinged glazed dial surround applied with Solomonic twist three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with small rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with slender rectangular door centred with a 'bullseye' lenticle set a moulded surround between two parquetry star motifs within line-edged crossbanded surround and half-round cross grain mouldings, the plinth base with stepped ogee top moulding over conforming parquetry star-centred decoration to front and moulded skirt.202cm (79.5ins) high, 49.5cm (19.5ins) wide, 27cm (10.27ins) deep. Major Schofield senior is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as born in 1707 and working in Manchester, Salford and Rochdale until his death in 1783, He was succeeded by his son of the same name. The case of the current lot is notable in that the form and design echoes that of London work of around 1680, in particular details such as Solomonic twist columns and rear bargeboards rising up into the cornice to the hood, convex throat mouldings and large parquetry motifs around a lenticle to the trunk (see Robinson, Tom THE LONGCASE CLOCK page 92). This would suggest that either the case is either a late 17th century 'provincial' model following slightly earlier London practice or, if was made at the same time as the movement and dial, was executed in an 'archaic' style. Condition Report: Movement is complete and in reasonably clean working order. The mechanism appears very original with no obvious replacements. The pinions show wear and all wheel above the greatwheels have been moved along the arbor slightly to ensure engagement with a unworn part of the next pinion in the train. This is a traditional sensitive repair to enable the clock be to used without having to replace pinions. The bell and stand appear to be replacements and there is some noticeable hammering around the lower lower right movement pillar to the backplate. The dial is in relatively clean condition and is complete with calendar mechanism. The right hand false winding square has been bent a little to endure correct alignment with its hole and one of the cartwheel spokes has an old rivet repair. The hour hand is a replacement and the spandrel securing screws have been renewed other wise faults are limited to light uneven oxidation.The case is constructed with elm carcass except for the trunk door which is pine. The backboard has a cut just above the top of the throat moulding and a separate section (in elm) also fitted via a lap joint to the inside surface continuing up to dress the rear of the hood. Although this appears to be a later repair the colour of the timber (where visible) as well as the way in which the top of the principal part of the backboard is dressed would indicate that it was done a very long time ago. The seatboard appears equally ancient/original to the movement and is secured to uprights (also in elm) which are applied to the inside of the side of the trunk which terminate at throat level. This detail is very similar in its execution as to the panel applied to the backboard suggesting that they were done at the same time. The back panel and seatboard have an old wash of black paint. The hood is in fine original condition with faults essentially limited to shrinkage cracking and small losses to the sides around the glazed apertures following the lines of the joints within the carcass beneath. The inside rear edges of the hood also have a black wash, the rear edges (behind the bargeboards) have been rubbed back suggesting that the may have been fitted with tongues for rising in grooves cut into the upper part of the original backboard.The trunk is generally in fine condition although the backboard has historic worm damage, losses and splitting towards the lower edge requiring a bracing panel to be fitted over the back pf the plinth. Otherwise the structure of the plinth appears all original and in sound condition with the exception of the skirting which is a fairly recent replacement. There is no evidence to suggest the clock was ever fitted with bun feet. The veneers and mouldings are generally in fine original condition. The left hand side of the trunk has an oval patch insert which was required to fill a scoop cut into the inside surface of the carcass to allow for the pendulum swing. The right-hand side has a similar scoop which is not deep enough to affect the veneers on the exterior. The centre of these scoops is each approximately 7cm below the centre of the lenticle. Otherwise faults are limited to historic small losses to the veneers, relatively light age-related shrinkage and other blemishes. The trunk door retains its original lock and hinges.Clock has a lead weight, pendulum (rod snapped at the junction with the rod block) and a case key.Useful dimensions;Hood - depth between inside edge of frame around dial and the backboard - 15.5cmHood - height between bottom edge of front glass and the upper edge of the seatboard - 6cmHood - dimensions of front glass - 25cm wide, 26cm highHood - height of lower edge of the side glasses from the upper surface of the chin - 13cmHood and Trunk - distance between lower edge of the hood front glass to the centre of the lenticle - 74cm Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY FUSEE DIAL WALL TIMEPIECE WITH SUBSIDIARY SECONDS AND CALENDAR DIALS ROBERT BEST, LONDON, CIRCA 1800The four pillar single fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by half seconds pendulum, the 14 inch single-sheet silvered brass Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds over calendar dial and signed Robert, Best, LONDON to centre, with fine pierced blued steel hands and Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, set behind a heavy hinged glazed cavetto moulded cast brass bezel, applied to a stepped ogee moulded surround secured with pegs to the rear box case incorporating door to right-hand side and with pendulum access flap to the curved underside.46cm (18ins) diameter, 16cm (6.25ins) deep. Provenance: The Late William Keith Neal, Antique firearms collector, formerly of Bishopstrow House, Warminster, Wiltshire. Robert Best is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1783. He was declared bankrupt in 1796 however continued to work until circa 1828 when he was recorded as being in Knightrider Street. Condition Report: Movement is complete and in reasonably clean working condition however the pendulum is missing its suspension spring hence will require a replacement fitting before the timepiece can be put to use. There are fairly heavy oil deposits around the spring barrel pivots hence mechanism would benefit from a gentle clean. The escape wheel and pallets are most likely later 19th century replacements otherwise the movement appears all-original. The calendar dial utilises three intermediate wheels to allow clearance of the winding square; the last of these wheels is fitted with a pin to advance the calendar ratchet wheel. The dial has light overall patchy oxidation/discolouration otherwise is in very good original with original hands.The brass bezel is in good original condition although the glass has been reset with plaster of Paris. The wooden surround is cracked near the hinge and has a repaired crack at VII. The right-hand edge of the brass bezel was probably originally fitted with a lock nut is now fitted with a tab cut to take a pivoted latch behind the wooden surround (latch now lacking). A rectangular depression cut into wooden surround to allow clearance for the earlier lock. The rear right hand securing baton is a little loose and there is a slip of adjacent timber missing (to dress the rear of the dial). The box case has an inset section/repair in front of the side door and an old curved brass reinforcement strap applied to the lower leading edge to repair breaks in the section in front of the pendulum access flap; the flap itself has some edge chips/losses. The back panel is in good condition. Timepiece has a pendulum (lacking suspension spring) but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN AMERICAN POLYCHROME PAINTED CAST IRON FIGURAL BLINKING EYE NOVELTY MANTEL TIMEPIECE THE MOVEMENT ATTRIBUTED TO THE WATERBURY CLOCK COMPANY, THE CASE BY BRADLEY AND HUBBARD, CONNECTICUT, CIRCA 1860The thirty-hour single-train movement with skeletonised plates and oversized lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic brass balance with wire armature connected from the lever to the pivoted eyes of the figure, with circular white laminated paper Roman numeral dial incorporating slot for the regulating lever at twelve-o'clock, set with hinged brass bezel into the belly of the case modelled as a portly gentleman in 18th century dress wearing bicorn hat, tailed green coat, red waistcoat, black breaches and boots, with eyes 'blinking' to the motion of the escapement, mounted on serpentine outline moulded oblong base with shaped apron painted with stylised foliate scrolls and incorporating feet to angles, the underside with cast inscription BRADLEY & HUBBARD, PATENT APPLIED, FOR, 1887, PCF, (lacking hands, hour wheel and pipe, and glass for the bezel).42cm (16.5ins) high, 26cm (10.25ins) wide, 18.5cm (7.25ins) deep. This design of 'blinking eye' novelty timepiece was Patented by The Bradley and Hubbard Manufacturing Company of Meriden, Connecticut on 14th July 1857. The present lot appears to be a variant of 'The Admiral' model but without rosette to the hat and epaulettes to the shoulders. A closely related timepiece was sold in these rooms on 15th September 2015 (lot 27 for £1,300 hammer), although this other example was in a 'The Admiral' variant case, it was fitted with a near identical movement to that of the present timepiece albeit stamped for The Waterbury Clock Company, Connecticut, to the frontplate. From this it would be reasonable to suggest that the movement of the present timepiece was also made by Waterbury.
