Following the success of Gardiner Houlgate selling various other fine examples in 2016, 2017 and 2018, this early example is the next to be offered for sale - Condition Report: Movement - requires a service as not running consistently.Dial - gloss dial with typical oxidised wear and makers of a nice patination, there are two areas of the dial towards the rim at the 12/1 and very minor area to the 2 baton position where white dust marks are present, this appears to be possibly from damp/mould residue or possibly a reaction from the radium, when very lightly brushed this appears to flake away, however we have not attempted to clean or remove further, from inspection the black surface beneath appears in tact as far as we can view. Very small chip mark at the 6/7 position, small mark next to the '200' and beneath the 'S', some oxidised surface marks beneath the Oyster and an area between the 10/11 position where there is some surface oxidised wear to the lacquer - images are provided for guidance with the dial out of the case, the flaws mentioned are more highlighted in the images than is apparent to the naked eye. Glass - visible scratch marks and requires replacement. Hands - colour matching the baton markers, visible surface marks. Case - the bezel is seized and requires attention with some enamel loss and surface marks, the head lugs have some wear and marks as expected and it has been well worn, the pointed crown guards remain quite pointed, the screw back with similar surface marks and wear, bearing numerous service inscriptions. Crown - adjusting correctly. Bracelet - later as mentioned, surface marks and missing a link currently. - Condition reports are provided for general guidance only. Please view images and further information can be obtained upon request. Gardiner Houlgate do not guarantee the working order or time accuracy of any lots.

An unusual early 18th century walnut Lowboy; the quarter-veneered crossbanded and feather-banded top above an arrangement of three drawers and shaped frieze, raised on four cabriole legs, each leg headed with a conch-style motif and husks leading down to a hairy legged cloven hoof, the top with re-entrant corners, 67cm wide x 45cm deep CONDITION REPORT: It is apparent that the back board behind the Lowboy has probably been replaced many years ago. Turning up the Lowboy the underside of the feet are all noted to be tipped. The legs appear in fairly good condition with no breaks or repairs apparent although the front right leg appears to have a historic 2cm hairline behind where the knee is carved and this may well constitute an old repair.. In the Auctioneers opinion this item has certainly been restored at some stage in the past with some staining apparent to the underside where new polish has been applied at some stage. The piece appears to be a nice colour overall. The top of the piece has been quarto veneered and there are several scrapes and indentations across the top of the piece commensurate with age.
