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 OAK LONGCASE CLOCK BACKBOARDENGLISH, PROBABLY FIRST HALF OF THE 18th CENTURYOf typical form 1/3 of an inch thick with a series of nail heads towards the edges and holes for securing the clock against the wall to the centre; together with a smaller back board approximately ¼ inch thick and another approx. 1/3 inch thick (3).The first 183.5cm (72.75ins) by 32cm (12.5ins); the second 171cm (67.25) by 31cm (12.25ins) minimum; the third 133cm (52.25ins) by 28cm (11ins) minimum. 

A PINE THIRTY-HOUR HOODED WALL CLOCKJOHN TAYLOR, EARLY 18th CENTURY AND LATERThe four finned pillar countwheel bell striking single-handed movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 10 inch square bras dial with ringed calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with bold fleur-de-lys half hour markers and signed John Taylor, Fecit to lower margin, with dine scroll-pierced brass hand and mask-centred scroll cast spandrels to angles, now in a case with ogee cornice and plain frieze over glazed hinged dial aperture applied with three-quarter columns to angles and the sides with conforming quarter columns set at the rear, set on a bracket with cavetto throat moulding over shaped side supports applied to a backboard cut with an arch to the lower edge, (case adapted from a longcase clock case).88cm (34.5ins) high, 46cm (18ins) wide, 27cm (10.5ins) deep. The movement of the current lot exhibits features typical of Northern clockmaking (such as 'cartwheel' cut-outs to the dial plate casting) hence was most likely made by John Taylor of Dukinfield, Cheshire, who is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as married in 1709 and dying in 1744. 

A RARE GEORGE II OAK CASED MINIATURE THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCKJAMES DELANCE, DOWNTON, CIRCA 1730The four rectangular section pillar outside countwheel bell striking movement with plates measuring 5.25 by 3 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 8 inch square brass dial with matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and signed Delance, Downton to lower margin, with a steel hour hand and male mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles, in a case with domed caddy to the box upstand and cavetto cornice, over hinged glazed dial aperture applied with baluster-turned three-quarter columns to front angles and with conforming quarter-columns applied to the sides at the rear, the trunk with cavetto moulded throat over 33.5 inch rectangular door with cockbeaded edge, on plinth base with moulded skirt (the movement lacking minute hand). 184cm (72.5ins) high, 38cm (15ins) wide, 234cm (9ins) deep. James Delance is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in Downton, Wiltshire in 1655. He is believed to have learnt the clockmaking trade from Lawrence Debnam in Frome prior to moving to London in 1677 where he was admitted as a Free Brother to the Clockmakers' Company the following year. Delance remained in London until 1685 when he left the city and returned to Frome where he set up business in Cheap Street - probably succeeding Lawrence Debnam who died in 1683 at the age of 40. Delance is recorded as undertaking work on clocks for Lord Weymouth at Longleat from at least 1694 until 1703. By 1721 Delance had moved to Downton, Wiltshire and was still working in 1736.Condition Report: Movement is generally complete but is in neglected unrestored condition. The mechanism appears free form alteration but the trains have had historic 'service' repairs namely re-pinioning of the all wheels with the exception of the greatwheels and hoop wheel of strike train. The escapement pallets also appear to be a 19th century service replacements. The dial is in sound condition which shows evidence of being polished in the past hence chapter ring has lost its silvering and now has a mellow/discoloured appearance. The minute hand is missing and the hour hand is most likely a replacement. The clock rests on blocks applied to a replacement seatboard indicating that the movement and dial are probably not original to the case.The case is in good original condition with the hood being free of significant/noticeable faults and is of good colour/surface. The dial is perhaps a little large for the aperture of the hood further supporting the probability that the movement and dial are probably not original to the case. The backboard is in good condition but has replacement strips applied each side at the top behind the hood and some scooping-out behind the movement suggesting a deeper movement was fitted at some point. The skirt around the base is a replacement otherwise faults to the case are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage, a few small repairs and wear commensurate with age.Clock has a pendulum, weight but no rope/chains. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN UNUSUAL WILLIAM III PROVINCIAL LABURNHAM LONGCASE CLOCK CASE WITH 9 INCH DIAL APERTUREANONYMOUS, LATE 17th CENTURYWith generous cross-grain architectural moulded cornice and geometric panel-pierced frieze to lintel over hinged dial aperture applied with three-quarter Doric columns to front angles, the sides with crossbanded borders and bargeboards to the rear, the trunk with convex throat moulding over 39.5 inch narrow door inlaid with bands delineating two break-arch panels within double-reed moulded border, the sides veneered with panels within angle-banded borders, on quarter-round top moulded plinth base fronted with a geometric parquetry design and with conforming panel-veneered sides over plain skirt.206.5cm (81.25ins0 high, 44cm wide, 10.5ins deep at the cornice. 

A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY FULL HALF-HOUR STRIKING LONGCASE CLOCK WITH TRIP-REPEATHENRY HINDLEY, YORK, CIRCA 1750-60The four double-baluster turned pillar movement with plates measuring 6.375 by 5.125 inches enclosing fine high-count wheelwork, the going train with anchor escapement regulated by brass lenticular bob seconds pendulum incorporating Hindley's cranked crutch arrangement and bolt-and-shutter maintaining power, the strike train with inside rack for sounding the hour at the hour and then again at the half hour on a second smaller bell, with Hindley's dual direction pull trip repeat lever to the backplate and cranked calendar adjustment applied to the rear of the dial plate, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial to the distinctive richly matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track and signed Hindley, York to lower margin, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and male mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a calendar dial flanked by dolphin and scroll cast mounts, the case with finial blocks to the ogee-shaped domed caddy superstructure over generous architectural dentil cornice and plain frieze to lintel over rectangular door incorporating both the glazed break-arch dial aperture and the upper quadrant panels flanked by free-standing full-height slender Doric columns to front angles, the sides with arched windows and further full columns set to the rear, the trunk with cavetto throat moulding over caddy-moulded break-arch door, on plinth base with moulded skirt and squab feet.252cm (99.25ins) high including finial blocks, 58.5cm (23ins) wide, 30.5cm (12ins) deep.  Henry Hindley was born in Great Harwood, near Blackburn, Lancashire 1699, little is known about his early life, however by the mid 1720's he was making clocks in Wigan where he repaired the church clock in 1726. Hindley moved with his young family (including his son, Joseph born 1728) to the prosperous city of York where, after making clocks for the Mansion House and Guildhall, he gained his Freedom of the city in 1732. Hindley s talents were such that he equipped his workshop with tools of his own design including an important dividing and wheel cutting engine, a screw cutting lathe and a fusee engine. As well as domestic clocks Hindley received commissions for several turret clocks including York Minster and supplied a range of scientific instruments including two important equatorial telescopes for the Duke of Norfolk and William Constable. By the 1760 s Hindley s health had deteriorated to the extent that an ever-increasing proportion of the business was handled by his son Joseph. Henry died in 1771 with his son and successor Joseph unfortunately dying just three years later in 1774, before he had had the opportunity to stamp his own mark on the family firm.  Hindley s work demonstrates a highly inventive exacting approach with each clock perhaps varying in some way to its predecessor ensuring constant refinement in design and layout. The quality of the finish of his work is generally exceptional being comparable to the very best London makers of the period which is why many collectors often refer to Hindley as the 'Tompion of the North'. The movement of the current lot is no exception being a particularly fine example of Hindley's work exhibiting inventive details such as the cranked pumping mechanism for the calendar dial, gravity fed rack striking and combined spring and stop for each of the bell hammers. The bolt-and-shutter maintaining power is beautifully executed and the trip repeat lever is ingenious in its simplicity using offset pins on a disk to ensure the lever can be tripped from by pulling from either side. The full-half hour striking of the current lot is unusual and is facilitated by having a second set of pins on the opposite side to the hammer pin wheel which are moved to act on the hammer for the second bell by pumping the arbor along its axis via a raised section of rim to a wheel in the motionwork engaging with a pivoted lever.The case of the current lot is also noteworthy in its quality and distinctive form. The timber used is the heaviest Cuban mahogany and the combination of crisp mouldings and fine turnings to the unusual full-height free-standing hood columns echoes the high-quality individual approach seen in Hindley's movements.Condition Report: Movement is in fine original condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. Although the mechanism is in full working condition a precautionary gentle clean and service is advised. The dial is also in fine condition but with overall patchy tarnishing and discolouration to the finishes. The movement rests on an appropriate oak seatboard onto pine blocks applied to the original thin solid mahogany uprights of the trunk. Although this arrangement is not what is normally seen on longcase clocks (and the blocks could be later) we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are such a good match to the case that they are most likely original to each other and that id the blocks are replacements it is probably due to historic damage/wear.The case is generally in very good original condition and with fine colour/surface. The domed caddy superstructure is a restoration; the finials are missing as are the mouldings to the upper edge of the top finial block. The plinth has an open shrinkage crack near the top edge and the feet are replacements. Otherwise faults to the case are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.Clock has pendulum (not original but period correct and adapted for Hindley's crutch), two brass-cased weights, a winding key but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE II WALNUT QUARTER CHIMING EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKWILLIAM THELKELD, LONDON, CIRCA 1740The five pillar triple train movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, chiming the quarters on a graduated nest of six bells and sounding the hour on a single larger bell, the 12 inch gilt brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial over arched nameplate engraved William Thelkeld, London to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and 'twin bird and urn' cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with subsidiary Strike/Silent selection dial flanked by dolphin cast mounts, the case with break-arch cavetto cornice over hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by free-standing fluted columns with gilt caps and bases, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with break-arch door fronted with book-matched figured walnut veneers incorporating triple-line strung border within complex crossgrain edge mouldings, the plinth base with concave top moulding over conforming line-edged panel to front and a moulded skirt.203cm (80ins) high, 51.5cm (20.25ins) wide, 25cm (10ins) deep. William Threlkeld (II) is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in Brancepath, County Durham in 1674. He was a trained watchmaker and goldsmith who by 1695 had moved to London and had set up business in the Parish of St. Michael, Cornhill. By 1726 Threkeld had moved to St. Martin in the Fields where he took Thomas Hudson as an apprentice. In 1728 he is listed as working 'In ye Strand near ye new Exchange', and is believed to have died in around 1750.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and in fine original condition with no visible alteration or notable replacements (including to the quarter train and bell/hammers assembly). The mechanism is in clean condition but a precautionary gentle service is advised. The dial is in fine condition wit faults limited to some light scratching to the matting as well as a spot of discolouration and overall mellowing to the silvering of the chapter ring. The hands, spandrels etc appear all original and are undamaged. The movement retains what appears to be its original seatboard which rests directly onto the cheek uprights of the trunk with no visible evidence of alteration hence we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case.The case is generally in sound original condition. There is no evidence of the hood being fitted with superstructure (which would have been normal for a clock of this period) hence it may be that the clock was made specifically for a position where height was an issue. The hood has historic worm damage to the rear right hand edge/stile including degradation to the carcass behind the hood quarter column. The rear quarter columns are missing three of their four brass caps/bases otherwise faults to the hood limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage commensurate with age and use. The trunk door lock is detached otherwise the rest of the case is in good original condition and of good colour with faults again limited to relatively minor bumps scuffs, shrinkage and other age related blemishes.Clock is complete with pendulum, three brass-cased weights, winder and two case keys. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN INTERESTING WILLIAM III/QUEEN ANNE OAK CASED QUARTER CHINING EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKSAMUEL TAYLOR, CIRCA 1700The four finned pillar triple train movement with plates measuring 7.75 by 5 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the quarter train with internal countwheel to the hammer pin-wheel arbor cut for sounding the quarters on a graduated nest of three bells and with pin positioned at the end the last quarter to release the internal rack hour striking mechanism sounding on a further larger bell, the 12 inch square brass dial with ringed winding holes, scroll-border engraved calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial incorporating silvered plate engraved Sam: Dodge beneath to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed Samuel Taylor to lower margin, with fine scroll-pierced steel hands and twin cherub and crown cast spandrels to angles within wheatear engraved border, in a case with architectural cornice and scroll-pierced frieze to lintel over hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by fixed three-quarter columns to angles, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with convex throat moulding above 32 inch rectangular door centred with a lenticle and with half round edge mouldings, on plinth base with ogee upper mouldings and moulded skirt.198cm (78ins) high, 50cm (19.75ins) high, 25.5cm (10ins) deep at the cornice. A clockmaker with the name Samuel Taylor is recorded in Davies, Edmund Greater Manchester CLOCKS & WATCHMAKERS as working in Middleton, Lancashire up until his death in 1743. Details such as the 'cartwheel' pierced casting to the dial plate would confirm the clock's North Country origins, with sophisticated refinements such as internal rack striking perhaps suggesting the clockmaker was perhaps London trained. The name 'Sam: Dodge' engraved just below the subsidiary seconds dial is probably that of the original owner.Condition Report: The movement appears to be in fine original condition with no visible alteration or replacements to the trains including the escape wheel which appears original although the pallets are most likely 19th century service replacements. There is an additional pair of holes just above the pallet arbor which suggesting that an additional movement pillar of plain profile was once fitted there. The mechanism is fairly clean and in working order. The dial is in good relatively condition with only light discolouration/spotting to lacquered and silvered finishes; the hands are well made and quirky but could be replacements. The movement rests on the original seatboard via blocks set beneath each of the plates; although not conventional this arrangement does appear original to the clock hence we are inclined to believe that the movement and dial are original to the case.

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. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE AND RARE QUEEN ANNE JAPANNED THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASECLOCKJOSEPH KNIBB, HANSLOPE, CIRCA 1705The single-handed posted countwheel bell striking movement with steel square section corner uprights and resting on threaded extensions passing through the underside of the baseplate, the going train with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike train sounding on a large bell mounted above, the 10 inch square gilt brass dial with fine pierced iron hand to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and signed Joseph Knibb, at Hanslop to lower margin, the spandrel areas engraved with large stylised leafy motifs within scribed line border, in a japanned pine case with spoon locking mechanism to the rising hood incorporating substantial ogee moulded cornice delicately painted with gilt floral motifs on a chocolate ground over conforming recessed panel fronted frieze and fixed glazed dial aperture applied with turned three-quarter columns decorated with leafy trails, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with gilt trellis painted convex throat moulding and 44 inch rectangular door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with figures within an oriental garden landscape, the surround incorporating gilt hatched panels, the sides with stylised foliate trails within shaped scribed line borders, the ogee moulded base with conforming raised decoration to front and bun feet.209cm (82.25ins) high, 44.5cm (17.5ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep. Joseph Knibb was born the fifth son of Thomas Knibb of Claydon, Oxfordshire in 1640. He is generally thought to have been apprenticed in around 1655 to his cousin Samuel Knibb in Newport Pagnell, before moving to Oxford circa 1662 (the same year that Samuel moved to London). Joseph initially struggled to trade in Oxford due to restrictions placed by the City authorities which were only relaxed on payment of a fine in 1668. It was about at this time that Joseph Knibb would have issued his copper trade tokens (an example of which was sold in these rooms 10th February 2009, lot 104 for £1,600 hammer) as well looking to undertake work to convert the turret clocks of St. Mary the Virgin and Wadham College to anchor escapement with long pendulum.In 1670 Joseph moved to London handing over the Oxford business to his younger brother; the reason for this move was probably to administer the estate of Samuel who is thought to have died by the summer of 1671. Joseph Knibb presumably took on Samuel's former workshop as by 1675 he was recorded as working from 'The Dyal' near Sargeants Inn in Fleet Street. By 1693 he had moved to 'The Clock Dyal' Suffolk Street, near Charing Cross. As Joseph became established in London his work became more individual/distinctive, often demonstrating an inventive and refined approach both in the detailing and specification of the movements and choice of case design. He is perhaps best known for his experimentation with alternative striking such as Dutch, Roman and double-six grande sonnerie as well as long duration clocks.In 1697 Joseph Knibb sold up the London business (presumably to Samual Aldworth, former apprentice of John Knibb of Oxford) and retired to his property at Green End, Hanslope, Buckinghamshire where he died in December 1711. Clocks made by Joseph Knibb during his 'retirement' years in Hanslope, Buckinghamshire are particularly rare; indeed only one example, a walnut eight-day longcase clock, is illustrated in Lee, Ronald A. The Knibb Family * Clockmakers on page 39 (plate 38). Another walnut longcase was sold at Christies, King Street, London on Wednesday 18th December 1974 (lot 193) for 6,300 guineas and a third (in a marquetry case) was offered by Sotheby's, London on Thursday 18th February 1982. All of these three examples appear to have been made with features typical of the Knibb workshops which would perhaps suggest that they may well have been supplied by John Knibb in Oxford for his older brother to sell on as his own. This scenario would certainly be the most logical bearing in mind the fact that Joseph sold his workshop to Samuel Aldworth on his retirement in 1697.The current lot differs from these other three examples in that it is a modest thirty-hour clock with a posted movement - rare for the Knibb family. The wheelwork is typically delicately made and appears to have survived in remarkably original condition. The dial is well proportioned with simple but elegant motifs to the spandrel areas and the hand is particularly fine - typical of Joseph's high quality approach.The case is also a particularly rare relatively early japanned example which demonstrates similarities with that housing a movement and dial by Tompion illustrated in Roberts, Tom THE LONGCASE CLOCK on page 119 (Figure 6/1) albeit with variances in proportions and detail which reflect its provincial roots. Condition Report: Movement has survived in fine original condition with no visible evidence or alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism retains old surface and exhibits slight wear to pinions but is essentially in good working condition. We would advise a very gentle was and careful re-lubrication if intending to put into service. The dial is in good condition, the plate may have been regilded at some point on the past and now exhibits some patchy discolouration. The chapter ring has some mellowing/tarnishing otherwise is in good original condition. The hand appears original and in nicely sculpted in the Knibb manner. The movement rests on blocks applied to a seatboard set on top of the trunk at the level of the throat mouldings. Although this detail is correct and the seatboard/blocks appear old we are inclined to suggest that they are replacements hence can offer no categorical assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case.The hood is in fine original condition however the frame around the dial aperture has been restored suggesting that the hood may at some point have been adapted to incorporate an opening front door. This restoration has been executed very well and is only detectable on close examination of the inside of the structure. The right-hand side glass is cracked. The trunk is also in good original condition however the lock is incomplete. The raised work to the front shows evidence of peeling/lifting (mainly to the figures on the front door) with consolidation/patching and repair evident. The base is a restoration with well-matched decoration and faults limited to a horizontal crack across the front. The backboard is generally in good solid condition but has a join at the level commensurate with the top of the box base, some small patch repairs and other age related faults. One of the later bun feet is missing.Clock has a pendulum (old but probably not original to the clock) and a weight.Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE JAMES II/CHARLES II WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKEDWARD EAST, LONDON, CIRCA 1680-85The six finned and latched pillar movement with tall plates measuring approximately 7.5 by 5 inches enclosing fine delicate wheel-work and square section strike detent arbors, the going train with bolt-and-shutter maintaining power and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike train with external countwheel striking on a domed bell mounted above the plates, the 10.25 inch square gilt brass dial with slender subsidiary seconds dial and calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied narrow silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with pierced blued steel hands, winged cherub head cast spandrels to angles and engraved Edwardus East Londini to lower margin, in a case with architectural cross-grain ogee moulded cornice and plain frieze to lintel over glazed dial aperture flanked by opposing Solomonic twist three-quarter columns, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the slender trunk with convex walnut veneered throat moulding over 44 inch rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle and with two break-arch shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and scrolling foliage into an ebony ground within a figured walnut field, further incorporating conforming marquetry curved quadrant panels to corners and contained within an inset line border edged with half-round cross-grain mouldings, the sides veneered in figured walnut and boxwood lines delineating panels matching the shape of the marquetry panels to the front door, the base with stepped ogee top moulding and fronted with conforming rectangular marquetry panel decorated with floral blooms into an ebony ground over bun feet, (hood formerly rising now adapted to open at the front).200.5cm (79ins) high; 45.5cm (17.75ins) wide, 25.5cm (10ins) deep at the cornice. Edward East was born in Southill Bedfordshire in 1602 and was apprenticed in 1618 to Richard Rogers until 1626, gaining his freedom of the Goldsmith's Company the following year. He was appointed as one of the first Assistants of the Clockmakers Company (a year after the charter was granted by Charles I in 1631) later becoming Master twice in 1645 and 1653. He worked first from Pall Mall, London subsequently moving to the Fleet Street/Temple Bar area by the 1640's, in November 1660 he was appointed chief clockmaker to King Charles II. Edward East certainly had the longest and perhaps one of the most distinguished careers in English clockmaking during the 'Golden Period' taking on eight apprentices between 1643 and 1676 (including Henry Jones from 1654 to 1663). East was the only original Assistant surviving when the Grant of Arms was awarded to the Clockmaker's Company in 1671. Edward East drafted his Will in 1688 and on his death in 1696 he was clearly a wealthy man leaving property to his four children including a residence in Hampton, Middlesex and a coaching Inn called 'The Swan with Two Necks' which was bequeathed to his daughter, Anne Saunders.The movement of the current lot has tall plates and square section strike detents, both of these features are deemed indicative of the East school of clockmaking. The 'tulip' shaped cut-out for the escapement pallet arbor (positioned at the top edge of the backplate) is also a detail occasionally seen in his movements including a walnut-cased example which was sold at Christies, London 550 Years: Decorative Arts Europe 27th May 2010 (lot 48) for £55,250. The case of the present clock is again notable in having particularly slender proportions with a long door of 44 inches occupying the full width of the front aperture (ie. is set within the side panels of the case with no additional framing). The marquetry panels are also framed by a line-edged border adding to the elegant appearance and the sides are also interesting in that the line-inlay delineates shapes matching those of the marquetry panels to the front door.Condition Report: Please contact department for condition report.Condition Report Disclaimer
