A French Louis XVI patinated bronze, ormolu and white marble figural mantel clock Jaques Gudin, Paris, late 18th century The circular two train countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement and silk pendulum suspension, the circular blue on white enamel Roman numeral dial signed J'ques Gudin, AParis to centre and with gilt Arabic five minutes to outer track, with fine scroll pierced and engraved gilt hands set behind hinged gilt brass convex glazed bezel cast as the Ouroborus snake, the case with patinated bronze surmount cast as a seated figure of Urania with gilt triple-star head dress gesturing with compass towards a globe on which she is resting, over rectangular white marble plinth housing the movement and applied with foliate spandrel mounts around the dial set next to a stack of books draped with cloth, on breakfronted white marble skirt base with gilt bead moulded upper edge over apron panel relief cast with putti undertaking artistic pursuits flanked by foliate rosettes and the sides with guilloche scroll panels, on gilt toupe feet, 55cm (21.5ins) high. Jacques Jerome Gudon is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as becoming a Master of his trade in 1769 and dying in 1789. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible alterations or losses (except for the pendulum). Although in running condition a clean and overhaul is advised. The dial has some light chipping around the right hand winding hole otherwise is in good condition with no other visible faults. The case is in fine original condition retaining original gilding (with only slight discolouration and wear) and fine patination to the bronze. The headcrest of the figure has one bent star otherwise mounts appear undamaged. The marble is in the solid (rather than built in many sections onto plaster) so clock is heavy. There are some very small edge chips which are only visible on close examination. Clock does not have a pendulum or winder. Condition Report Disclaimer
A George III mahogany eight-day longcase clock with rolling moonphase incorporating tidal indicationJohn Baker, Hull, circa 1780The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arc h dial with subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and ringed winding holes to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and rococo cast spandrels to angles beneath arch with rolling moonphase signed IOHN BAKER HULL to upper margin and calibrated for age of the moon and high-water times to the circumference of the lunar disc over lunettes engraved with globe delineations flanking two adjustable blued steel pointers to centre, the case with gilt Ho-Ho bird centred oval fretwork panel to the pagoda upstand over hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by free-standing Corinthian columns, the trunk with rectangular flame-figured door with concave-cut upper angles and flanked by fluted canted angles, on figured plinth base with ogee bracket feet, 228cm (89ins) high. John Baker is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as believed working in Hull, during the late 18th century. The current lot is perhaps a little unusual in having two steel pointers within the moonphase; the first is intended for the age of the moon whilst the other can be adjusted to provide the times of high water for a given port to be read from the scale engraved to the edge of the disc. Condition Report: Movement appears to be all-original and in relatively clean working condition although a precautionary clean and overhaul is advised. The dial has some patchy discolouration to brass plate -most noticeably to the centre, otherwise is in good condition and free from alterations or noticeable faults except for a well executed patch repair to the rear of the lunar disc (probably to stabilise a casting crack).The movement rests on an old seatboard which in turn rests on uprights (cheeks) which continue down to the throat area where they terminate and are fixed with screws to the inside of the trunk sides. The fact that these 'cheek' uprights are not integral to the sides of the trunk indicate that we cannot offer any assurances that the current movement and dial are original to the case. However the mask applied to the inside of the hood appears unaltered and fits the dial perfectly which would support the possibility that all started life together. Indeed the case would seem to be a provincial interpretation of the 'London pagoda' case hence is of correct type for the movement and dial.Generally the case is in fine condition with faults limited to some shrinkage cracking to the trunk door and base fascia. For some unknown reason the backboard has been cut just above the rear of the seatboard and then re-attached via batons applied behind (probably to ease transport at some time). The colour of the door appears a little lighter than the rest of the case but this could no doubt be addressed by a good cabinet maker/surface finisher.Clock is complete with pendulum, weights, case key and winder.

A large aluminium and Perspex Van de Graaff electrostatic generatorW.B. Nicholson Scotland, mid 20th centuryConstructed with two-part aluminium sphere 12 inches in diameter enclosing fabric covered Perspex pulley over cylindrical plexiglass column above stepped domed base enclosing electric motor driving a conforming pulley, the exterior with FAST/SLOW adjustment knob and tradeplate inscribed VAN DE GRAAFF, GENERATOR around an diamond lozenge enclosing initials WBN, (rubber belt lacking), 98m (38.5ins) high and with insulated short stool; with an 'Earth Inducer' flip coil, the wooden frame with central circular rotating coil incorporating connection posts and detents to lower pivot and disc calibrated for degrees of rotation to the top, the outer frame pivoted at 90 degrees between two panel uprights over base with trade label inscribed SERIAL No. 20148, 400 TURNS 36G D.S.C. COPPER, MEAN DIAMETER 27.7 CM, PHILIP HARRIS LTD. BIRMINGHAM, 54.5cm (21.5ins) wide, (2). Provenance: By repute the Van de Graaff generator featured in an episode of the Dr. Who spin-off television series 'Torchwood'. The Van de Graaff generator was developed bt the American physicist Robert J. Van de Graaff in 1929 as a particle accelerator for physics research; its high potential was designed to be used to accelerate subatomic particles to great speeds in an evacuated tube. It was the most powerful type of accelerator of the 1930s until the cyclotron was developed. Van de Graaff generators are still used as accelerators to generate energetic particles and X-ray beams for nuclear research and nuclear medicine as well as for educational demonstration purposes.The Van de Graaff works on the principal that the simple contact of dissimilar materials causes the transfer of some electrons from one material to the other. In operation the rubber of the belt will become negatively charged while the acrylic glass of the upper roller will become positively charged. The belt carries away negative charge on its inner surface while the upper roller accumulates positive charge within the aluminium globe. The size of the globe dictates the voltage potential that the instrument can accumulate but typically larger examples (as per the current lot) can generate in the region of 250,000 Volts. The Earth Inductor apparatus was devised by Charles Edouard Joseph Delzenne (1776-1866). The instrument is designed to measure the magnitude and direction of the earth's magnetic field using a flip coil in conjunction with a ballistic galvanometer. This is done by quickly flipped the coil through 180 degrees, and reading the output. By measuring the total charge delivered by the induced EMF the magnitude of the magnetic field threading the coil can be ascertained. Condition Report: Generator is intact and complete except for the belt. The aluminium is oxidised and pitted and the dome has some denting. We have not been able to test the electric motor due to non-compliant wiring. The stool has wear from use but is intact, the Earth Inducer is intact and in original condition: we have not been able to test the continuity of the coil. Condition Report Disclaimer
