A fine and rare astronomical oak and mahogany longcase clock by Edward Harriman Workington circa 1760-1770, with broken arch pediment and tapered pillars to the hood, with oak door crossbanded in elm and with Corinthian columns, the base with canted corners crossbanded in mahogany and raised on a plinth. Dial width 13", height 18½". The arch accommodates the astronomical work. Within and below the arch is a large ring approximately 8½" in diameter. This intersects the chapter ring. The periphery is marked in degrees to show the suns position in the heavens and engraved Amplitude Occa with effigies of the sun preceding these captions. Between the outer and inner ring a rotating disc carries the sun. The disc has a blue ground and is decorated with clouds. Between the two rings are shutters which are decorated with scenes of people, buildings and horses. These rise and fall throughout the year so that the sun always rises and sets at the correct time and pointers attached to the shutters give the actual time when this occurs. The left side of the inner ring is marked in degrees to show the suns declination north or south of the equator and right side indicates the sign of the zodiac. Within the inner ring the moon rotates with a silvered scale at its periphery and below the moon two globes are depicted with fine floral engraving. Height 88" (225 cm). NOTE: Edward Harriman was born circa 1700 in the Crosby area and was married in 1729. He moved to Workington in the early 1730's and made a few special clocks with astronomical dials and globe moons. He died in Workington in 1776 (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The clock is currently ticking away, striking and seems to be operating as it should. All pieces of the movement appear to be present. We have both weights, the pendulum, the winding key and door key. The clock is currently keeping good time. In our opinion the movement is original to the case and the cheeks do not appear to have been modified. The pediment is finished on the return with Greek keywork also. It has never had roundels. The case is in first class condition with no issues. The doors are not warped. The colour is very good. There is no evidence of any woodworm.

Mid 15th-mid 14th century BC.

Cf. cylinder seal of Ugarit (Récent 2), almost identical to this seal, is included in H. Kühne, Das Rollsiegel in Syrien.

Mark Coreth , British b. 1958, Jaguar Fishing, 2018 Bronze, from an edition of 20 13cm high x 16.5cm wide x 7cm deep Similar works by this artist retail at: £3,250 Mark Coreth: Mark Coreth was born in London in 1958 and was immediately dispatched to the family farm in the Kenyan highlands where the Equator ran through the house. The idyllic childhood surrounded by exotic Flora and Fauna fostered Mark's early and continuing passion for wildlife and the sculpting of it. Mark has had no formal art school training, his ability is based quite simply on dedication and hard work coupled with an acute and perceptive eye, drawing heavily on experiences gained during his early years in Kenya, and regular sculptural safari's around the world , with his Backpack Studio . His sculptures reflect his instinctive understanding of the behaviour and physicality of the animals he sculpts. Working with extraordinary speed, if the original plasticine or clay fails to speak to him within a couple of hours Mark destroys it and starts again. He captures violence, speed, and movement , or even tranquility and pathos with deceptive ease, and is now internationally recognized as the master sculptor of the animal in motion. As well as his regular one-man exhibitions at Sladmore Contemporary Mark shows regularly in Paris, and New York. His many monumental commissions include a life-size piece of two Cheetahs in a tree for the ruling family in Dubai, a life-size figure of a boatman which sits outside Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, a shoal of rays in the Docklands and a massive 50 piece fountain at the Natural History Museum. His most spectacular commission to date has been an enormous 16 foot high life-size charging elephant; the subject of a half hour documentary on the Discovery Channel. Where the film-makers followed him on safari while he made his initial studies, back to his studio for the creation process and finally to the foundry to see the final casting of the bronze. The finished bronze elephants currently reside in a public collection in Rome and a private collection in Australia. 2015 saw him complete his life size bronze of the much loved Race Horse Frankel, commissioned by the owner Prince Khalid Abdullah. Her Majesty the Queen unveiled the first one at Royal Ascot in June, with further copies at York Race Course and the Newmarket Racing Museum to follow. Mark lives and works in deepest Dorset, where the original white plaster model of his life size charging elephant stands guard outside his studio. His latest exhibition, “ The Story in the Snow… Russia’s endangered Big Cats” opens at The Sladmore Gallery in November this year.
