Ɵ MCGARVA, JAMESOLD CLOCKS, THORNLEIGH, VICARS CROSS 1951 AND 1952Two albums of photographs recording James McGarva's collection of clocks, the first compiled in 1950 containing bracket, mantel and lantern clocks including a Lantern and a table clock by Tompion, and a spring night clock by Johannes Fromanteel, the second dated 1952 containing longcase clocks including Tompion and Banger no. 352, each image annotated in white Gothic calligraphy and both volumes hard-bound in blue cloth with gilt titles to boards. The present lot is believed to be one of only two pairs of albums compiled by James McGarva to record his clock collection and was used by Ernest Edwardes to assist in his work 'The Grandfather Clock'. The presentation of photographs pasted along with scripted annotations in white ink very much follows (but in a much simplified manner) that used by Walter Iden in the compilation of his albums, an example of which was sold in these rooms in our sale of THE HOROLOGICAL WORKING LIBRARY OF CHARLES ALLIX Wednesday 22nd February 2012 (lot 58) for £5,500 hammer.

AN INTERESTING BRASS MINIATURE HOUR-STRIKING LANTERN CLOCK WITH ALARMTHE DIAL BEARING A SIGNATURE FOR THOMAS HOWS AND DATE FOR 1620 BUT PROBABLY FRENCH, MID 17th CENTURYThe going train with verge escapement regulated by balance wheel set above the top plate, and the strike train with countwheel and vertically pivoted hammer sounding on the bell mounted within the superstructure, the alarm mechanism positioned to the lower right hand corner of the iron backplate incorporating verge crownwheel and vertically pivoted hammer acting on the hour bell, the dial with rose-engraved Roman numeral chapter alarm disc filling the entire centre of the dial and concealing engraved inscription Tho's Hows, 1620 to plate beneath, within narrow Roman numeral chapter ring with asterisk half hour markers, the frame with one-piece column turned corner posts and high-waisted finials flanking the fine foliate strapwork engraved and pierced front fret and conforming unengraved side frets, the sides with hinged brass doors and the rear with iron backplate beneath bell supported within domes bearer surmounted by a finial, on four integral turned toupe feet.22cm (8.75ins) high, 8.5cm (3.375ins) square. The present lot is referred to in Loomes Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 within the entry for Thomas Howse who is listed as baptised in 1608, entered as an apprentice in the Brown Baker's Company 1622/23 and died 1652. Features within the current lot such as the one-piece frame castings (incorporating distinctive high-shouldered finials and 'toupe' feet) and vertically pivoted hammer arbor would strongly suggest that the current clock was made in France, most likely Paris. A miniature French lantern clock with very similar frame castings is illustrated in Tardy LA PENDULE FRANCAIS I're Partie, De l'Horloge Gothique a la Pendule Louis XV on page 86.Condition Report: Movement is complete and appears free from alteration. There is no visible evidence of the clock being fitted with a pendulum escapement (verge or anchor). The present balance appears correct for the movement it is probable that the pallets are most likely service replacements. The trains appear to be in good condition with only minor pinion wear evident; the steelwork is all nicely finished and with dark patination. The alarm mechanism is complete and appears correct. The engraved inscription to the dial is an enigma hence we would express caution and suggest that it has been added. The alarm disc is possibly a replacement as it shows less wear than the chapter ring, the hour hand is also possibly a well-made replacement. The frame is in good condition with faults limited to the left-hand front finial which at some point has been broken-off a re-attached and the tip of the same finial has a crack in the casting the corner posts are one-piece castings incorporating the feet and finials. The bell and frame are in good condition; the top finial is almost certainly a replacement. The right-hand fret has a casting fault and the front is missing one of its screws. Both side doors are present but each have lost the upper pin hinge.Clock is complete with three brass-cased weights. Condition Report Disclaimer
A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKJOHN EBSWORTH, LONDON, CIRCA 1695The five finned and pillar movement with tall plates measuring approximately 7.5 by 5 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike train with external countwheel striking on a domed bell mounted above the plates, 11 inch square brass dial with ringed, winding holes, foliate scroll border engraved calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the narrow minute track, with pierced steel hands, winged cherub mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles and signed John Ebsworth Londini fecit to lower margin, in a case with moulded cornice and frieze inlaid with floral trails into an ebonised ground to lintel over conforming marquetry decorated hinged glazed dial surround and rectangular windows to the sides of the hood, the trunk with convex walnut veneered throat moulding over 40.5 inch rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle and with three shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and scrolling foliage into an ebonised ground within a oyster veneered walnut field, with ebonised half-round edge mouldings, the sides veneered with twin panels within crossbanded borders, the base with stepped ogee top moulding and conforming rectangular marquetry panel over bun feet, (hood with alterations).199cm (78.25ins) high, 45cm (17.75ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) deep. John Ebsworth is recorded in Loomes, Brian, LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers as apprenticed in 1657 to Richard Ames and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1665. He is believed to have succeeded Thomas Knifton at the Cross Keys in Lothbury but later worked at 'New Cheap Side'. He served as Assistant to the court of the Clockmakers' Company in 1682, Warden in 1694 and was appointed Master in 1697. Ebsworth died in 1699 appointing Edward Stanton to oversee his Will.Condition Report: The movement in in relatively clean working condition and survives in its original configuration with no evidence of alteration however has historic service replacements. The second wheel of the going train has been re-pinioned and the escapement (wheel and pallets) appear to be 19th century replacements. The upper two wheels and the fly of the strike train have been re-pinioned. The pivots exhibit evidence of past rebushing. The hammer bell is large and the stand is stout hence the large bell could well be original. The dial is in good clean condition with fine mating and minimal wear. The silvering to the chapter ring has some slight spotting and wear, the hands are probably original and are presently blued; the spandrels are of good quality and most likely original.The movement retains its original seatboard which rests directly on the cheek uprights of the case with corresponding fixing holes to each which suggests that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The hood was originally rising but has now slides forward and has been cut for a door at the front. Whilst doing this a dial mask was set behind the door which resulted in the the frame of the dial aperture being set further forward. A vertical strip of veneer was then applied to the front edge of each side to conceal the mask/packing with the strip then continued to form decorative upper and lower margins to the side panels. To remove this modification the mask would need to be removed and the dial aperture frame set back to its original position, and the sides then re-veneered to remove the upper and lower bands. Hood columns could then be fitted. Although this sounds fairly involved such work is essentially cosmetic and will serve to restore the clock back to its original appearance. The top board is probably an older replacement.The trunk is in fine condition with only light shrinkage cracking to the veneers and no apparent touching-in or filling to the decoration. The surface has been cleaned back and French polished at some point hence would benefit from the attention of a good furniture finish restorer (if required). The sides of the trunk are in good clean condition.The base appears original with the left hand side continuing all the way down to the lower edge of the box and the right hand side stopping around 1 inch short. The backboard continues to around half-way down the box but there is no indication to suggest that it has been cropped short at a later date (ie. Case appears to have been made like that!). The inside of the lower edge of the base has some strengthening batons applied and the feet are replacements. The marquetry panel to the front of the base appears original and has some historic lifting/splitting; at some point it has been given a heavy 'glaze' which is now starting to break-down and the crossbanded borders have some historic patch repairs. The sides of the base have historic shrinkage cracking and a triangular patch repair to the front upper corner of the right-hand side. Faults to case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage, wear and a few minor repairs commensurate with age.Clock is complete with pendulum, pair of brass-cased weights, case key and winder.
