A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY QUARTER CHIMING TABLE CLOCK IN THE MANNER OF HENRY HINDLEYJOHN AGAR, YORK, CIRCA 1770The six distinctive double-baluster turned pillar triple fusee movement with rectangular plates measuring 8.5 by 7 inches enclosing greatwheels fitted to the narrow ends of the fusee cones, the going train with tic-tac anchor escapement incorporating offset pallets regulated by a half-seconds brass lenticular bob pendulum, the quarter train chiming the quarters on a graduated next of six bells and the strike train sounding the hour on a further larger bell, the backplate signed Jn'o Agar, YORK within a bold large rococo scroll engraved cartouche, the 7.5 inch arched brass dial plate applied with high-position silvered disc engraved with Roman numeral chapter ring and Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with scroll-pierced steel hands over rococo scroll cast spandrels to lower quadrants mirrored by another pair of castings bordering a further silvered arched plate incorporating STRIKE/SILENT selection to upper margin over pivoted steel hand and signature Jn'o Agar, YORK, in a solid mahogany bell-top case with hinged brass carrying handle and double-cavetto top mouldings over arched glazed dial aperture to the front door incorporating forty-five degree angles to the shut faces behind, the sides with arched scroll-pierced sound frets and the rear with rectangular shallow-arch glazed door set within the frame of the case, on ogee moulded skirt base with generous squab feet.56cm 22ins high with handle down, 31cm (12.25ins) wide, 22.5cm (9ins) deep. John Agar (senior) is recorded in Loomes, Brian Yorkshire Clockmakers as born around 1730 and made Free in the City of York as a clockmaker in 1760. He lived at Castlegate until at least 1809 and died in 1815. His son, also called John, was apprenticed to his father in 1766 and made Free in 1782; he pre-deceased his father in 1814. The present clock exhibits strong similarities with the work of the celebrated York clockmaker Henry Hindley. In particular the distinctive design of the double baluster pillars, which follow those first used by Hindley in around 1742, and the fusees incorporating greatwheels positioned frontwards (against the narrow ends). The reason for this arrangement with the fusees is suggested by Rodney Law in his article HENRY HINDLEY OF YORK 1701-1771, PART II (published as an excerpt by The Antiquarian Horological Society) as devised to reduce the degree of friction at the larger front pivot which, with the standard arrangement, was most apparent after winding. Finally the escapement, incorporating offset pallets spanning a handful of teeth, is reminiscent of Hindley's deadbeat arrangement employed (mostly in conjunction with a half-seconds pendulum) in his table clocks, as drawn by Law in Figure 19.In addition to these direct similarities above, the current clock shares Hindley's high-quality standards with regards to finishing and eccentric approach to the dial layout. Indeed a clock by Hindley, incorporating the same configuration of high-position chapter ring over large arched strike/silent selection to the lower margin, is illustrated in Barder, C.R. The Georgian Bracket Clock 1714-1820 on page 63 (Plate II/45). The engraved signature cartouche to the backplate is perhaps a departure from Hindley's influence, however it is very well executed in the high rococo manner following the trends described in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKs, Art on a Cavass of Brass 1660-1800 pages 357-64. Condition Report: The movement is in clean and original working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable/obvious replacements to the trains. The movement has a trip-repeat facility which is operational although there is no exit hole in the case foe a pull-cord. Two of the six quarter bells are lighter in colour than the others hence are probably replacements however they are in tune hence the sound is good. The dial is in good original condition with overall slight mottled mellowing to the silvering; the hour and minute hands are probably well made replacements, the strike/silent selection hand appears original.The case is generally in fine clean condition having most likely had cosmetic restoration work (cleaning and polishing) executed in the recent past. The case is constructed from solid (Cuban?) mahogany hence is very heavy/substantial. The caddy superstructure has probably become detached and been reset (visible relatively recent glue to interior); the side frets and feet are almost certainly also restorations. Case retains original locks and hinges and visible faults are generally very much limited to a few minor historic bumps, scuffs and other minor surface blemishes.Clock is complete with pendulum, winder and two case keys.

Lot 191
A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY ARCHITECTURAL LONGCASE REGULATOR IN THE CHIPPENDALE MANNERJOHN HARTLEY, YORK, CIRCA 1765The six baluster pillar movement with bottle-shaped plates measuring 10 by 6.5 inches enclosing a four-wheel train with six-spoke wheel crossings, high pinion count, bolt-and-shutter maintaining power and fine pinwheel deadbeat escapement incorporating adjustable pallets applied to an A-shaped yoke, regulated by steel-rod lenticular bob seconds pendulum with impulse provided via a long crutch and the backplate with apertures cut to allow adjustment of the escapement pallets, the 12 inch circular silvered brass dial finely engraved with exotic bird inhabited rococo scrolls to centre incorporating subsidiary seconds dial enclosing signature Jn'o Hartley, YORK within an elaborate cartouche to upper margin over Roman numeral hour dial with conforming urn-and-scroll infill to the lower, with steel arrow-shaped hands within concentric outer minute track to circumference annotated with Arabic five-seconds, the case with concave-sided cavetto moulded gable pediment over hinged front centred with a circular glazed dial aperture within complex moulded surround and with applied disc-turned roundels to the apex and quadrants, over concave throat moulding interrupted by a projecting outswept central section applied over the full-width trunk door centred with a generous full-height Roman Doric pilaster, on breakfronted plinth base with moulded skirt.213.5cm (84ins) high, 47.5cm (18.75ins) wide, 23cm (9ins) deep. John Hartley is recorded in Loomes, Brian Yorkshire Clockmakers as a working in Snaith from around 1770 and buried there in 1784. Although there appears to be no further records of John Hartley another longcase regulator made by him, this time made in collaboration with the eminent civil engineer John Smeaton, was sold at Bonhams London sale of Fine Clocks 12th December 2018 (lot 118) for £27,500. This other example serves to both highlight the high regard Hartley must have held as a clockmaker, as well as cement his connection with Henry Hindley (through both the detailing of the movement and the fact that Smeaton was a lifelong friend of Hindley). The quality of the both the movement and the carefully designed architectural case of the present lot would suggest that it was made for a particularly discerning client who was perhaps seeking a timepiece accurate enough to assist with astronomical observations whilst suiting the most fashionable of interiors.Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition; the escapement beats readily when the maintaining power is applied and was performing reliably when the timepiece was recently in use. The escape wheel is solid and pinned to the arbor. There is visible solder to the collet and some copper 'heat staining suggesting that the wheel has been recently reset on the collet, however the wheel itself appears most likely original. The pallet carriers have light noticeable surface texture suggesting that they have been cleaned/rubbed hence it is probably that, the pallet assembly has seen attention or been partially rebuilt. The crutch appears original and free of damage or repair. Movement otherwise appears all-original and in good condition. The dial is in good original condition with some slight mellowing/spotting to the silvering only. All hands are present and are fairly 'heavy' in their design - no doubt to allow them to be visible against a faintly heavily decorated dial.The movement rests on a thick mahogany seatboard directly onto cheek uprights of the case which appear undisturbed. The backboard also has a band of lighter finish at the level of the seatboard suggesting that at some point the backboard was stained whilst the seatboard was in situ; these features would appear to confirm that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case.The case survives in fine original condition with faults mainly limited to slight shrinkage and age related bumps, scuffs and other blemishes. The backboard has vertical cracks (mainly to the joints between the butt-joined sections that make-up the panel) requiring bracing batons to be fitted both to the inside behind the hood and to the rear further down. the hood has two cracks to the mounded aperture surround and another the frame of the door near the apex. The hinge screws are also visible (slight historic cracking/blistering to the surface) to the right hand edge of the full-width door panel. The trunk door has a slight veneer shrinkage crack towards the upper lefty part of the pilaster shaft. The skirting to plinth is probably a well-executed restoration.Timepiece is complete with pendulum (non-compensated steel-rod with brass lenticular bob) driving weight (very small) crank winder and a case key.
