A GEORGE III BLACK CHINOISERIE JAPANNED EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKROBERT POLL, HARLESTON, CIRCA 1760The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and bright-cut bordered recessed slivered subsidiary seconds disc to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minute beyond the minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a silvered boss engraved Rob't Poll, HARLESTON within herringbone border flanked by conforming mounts, in a black japanned case with gilt repeating scroll decorated box upstand over architectural moulded cornice, stylised torch motif painted upper quadrant panels and break-arch glazed door decorated with gilt foliate scroll to frame and applied with three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular windows within leafy spray decorated surrounds and with conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding painted with foliate scrollwork panel, over break-arch door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with Oriental figures and pavilions within an Arcadian garden landscape and complex edge mouldings, within scroll painted surround incorporating upper quadrant panels matching those of the hood, the sides painted with large leafy sprays, the plinth base with decorated cavetto top moulding over conforming landscape panel to fascia, on moulded skirt base incorporating bracket feet with gilt decorated shaped apron between.234cm (92ins) high, 54cm (21.25ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep. Robert Poll is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Wissett, Suffolk and Harleston, Norfolk up until 1771. Condition Report: Movement is in dirty condition but was running in the vendors house at the time of consignment. The mechanism appears essentially all original with no visible evidence of alteration. The dial is in good original condition; the finishes have a pleasing age-mellowed appearance. The movement has its original seatboard but there is packing beneath suggesting the movement is not original to the case. The case is generally structurally sound and will respond very well to not a huge amount of work. The top board of the hood is currently detached, the hood columns have some worm damage (localised and non-active). The trunk door has some losses to the original raised decoration and crazing to the surface. The rest of the case exhibits fairly extensive Edwardian restoration with the sides re-panted and the plinth rebuilt incorporating face panel which may be original but with much overpainting. The feet are Edwardian.Generally an attractive example ripe for being 'revived'. Clock is complete with pendulum, two weights, case key and crank winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN IMPRESSIVE GEORGE III GILT BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY PRECISION LONGCASE CLOCKWILLIAM POULTON AND SON, LONDON, CIRCA 1785The substantial five pillar rack and bell striking movement with shouldered plates, the going train with Harrison's maintaining power and deadbeat escapement regulated by seconds pendulum with steel rod and wide jaw 'T-bar' suspension, the 13 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and applied shaped silvered plate signed Will'm Poulton & Son, Watchmaker to his Majesty, the King of Spain, London to the finely matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a subsidiary Strike/Silent selection dial flanked by conforming mounts, the figured mahogany case with concave-sided 'pagoda' superstructure fronted with a shaped rococo scroll cast gilt sound fret over break-arch cavetto cornice, conforming gilt arched fret infill and brass stop-fluted columns with Corinthain capitals flanking the hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with rectangular brass fish scale sound frets and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with geometric 'block top' arched door fronted with flame figured veneers within complex mouldings flanked by brass stop-fluted Corinthian quarter columns, the plinth base with concave top moulding over raised shaped panel to fascia, on moulded double skirt.253cm (99.5ins) high excluding top finial, 57cm (22.5ins) wide, 27cm (10.5ins) deep. William Poulton is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London before 1773. He is known for producing high quality table clocks including a grande-sonnerie striking example. A silent-pull quarter repeating table timepiece signed for William and Alfred Poulton, again inscribed 'Watchmakers to the King of Spain', is also known.Provenance: From a private collection in Northamptonshire Condition Report: Movement is in complete original condition with visible alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is essentially in working condition but is a little dirty/neglected with some surface rust to the steelwork. Therefore a gentle clean and service will be required. The dial is in very good condition with only a couple of very small spots of oxidation. The movement and dial are fitted to the original seatboard which rests essentially undisturbed onto the cheek uprights of the case confirming that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is in fine original condition. The hood is free from any notable faults and generally has minimal shrinkage. The rest of the case is similar fine condition. The face of the lower tier of the skirt has veneer detached form the left-hand side and section off to the front right hand corner; the sections are present so should be a simple case of re-attaching. The bases of the quarter columns are giltwood rather than brass hence may well be replacements. Faults are otherwise very much limited to minor age-related shrinkage and other minimal blemishes.Generally a very original clock in extremely good clock that just generally need a service and gentle 'reviving'. Clock has heavy pendulum, pair brass-cased weights and a crank winder (no case key).  Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKJOHN COTTON, LONDON, CIRCA 1695The five finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 11 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and winged cherub mask and foliate scroll cast spandrels to angles, the lower margin of the dial plate with engraved signature Iohn Cotton in ye Strande, in a case with later domed caddy superstructure over architectural entablature and hinged glazed dial aperture incorporating floral marquetry decoration to surround and flanked by three-quarter columns to the front angles, the sides with rectangular windows and bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with ebonised ground grotesque mask-centred floral trail decorated convex throat moulding over 41.5 inch rectangular door inlaid with an architectural urn within bird inhabited flowering foliage into an ebonised ground, centred with an oval lenticle and with half-round edge mouldings set into a herringbone inlaid surround, over base with stepped ogee top moulding and conforming floral marquetry panel within herringbone border to fascia, on shallow moulded band and ogee bracket feet.196cm (77ins) high excluding later superstructure and feet, 223cm (88ins) high overall, 48cm (19ins) wide, 25.5cm (10ins) deep. John Cotton is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born circa 1669, apprenticed to Charles Lowndes in 1683 and gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1695. Loomes notes that Cotton paid quarterage until 1697 and is thought to have died the following year. His son of the same name was apprenticed to Edward Comins, a shipwright of Woolwich, London. Condition Report: The movement is essentially in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is a little dirty/dusty hence requires a clean and service. The dial is in good clean condition with only a couple of light blemishes to the matted decoration to the centre only. The movement rests on a replacement seatboard with packing to the cheek uprights indicating the movement and dial are not original to the case. The case is structurally sound and retains all its important elements including good long backboard continuing down well into the plinth (has some shrinkage cracking and a couple of small patch repairs to the panel). The sides are also in good condition retaining almost all of their original length. The case has however seen some historic 'updating' and requires overall work. The caddy is a 19th century replacement as is the entablature moulding and hood columns. The sides of the hood have lost their veneers and rear quarter columns. The hood door has one small loss to the marquetry otherwise is in good condition. The throat moulding has some losses/flaking and historic filling to the marquetry, the trunk door also has s a few similar localised losses to the marquetry and some filling mostly to cracks near the top and bottom margins (due to shrinkage between the door panel and the clamps applied at each end). The trunk door lock is a replacement and there is a veneer patch repair to the escutcheon area. The sides of the case have a scumbled stain finish over the original veneers which appear sound; an attempt to clean back this finish has been made to the lower rear right causing patchiness. The base top mouldings have shrinkage cracking and some historic worm damage. The plinth retains its original marquetry panel which is in similar condition to the rest of the marquetry. The lower edge of the plinth appears to have been reduced slightly and applied with later moulding and ogee bracket feet. The side veneers of the plinth re in sound condition; the banding around the front panel has chips/losses and repairs. The plinth is a little out of square in relation to the trunk causing the clock to lean a little when the plinth is stood square on the ground. Otherwise faults to the case are essentially limited to age related bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and a few small localised repairs.Clock is generally a sound restoration project and has a pendulum, pair of brass cased weights and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN UNUSUAL DUTCH GILT BRASS SPRING-DRIVEN HOODED WALL CLOCKT. THOMSEN, AMSTERDAM, THIRD QUARTER OF THE 18th CENTURYThe rectangular four baluster pillar twin going barrel outside countwheel bell striking movement with five-wheel trains and anchor escapement for regulation by a disc-bob pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with scroll engraved half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the arcaded minute track, the lower margin signed T'S THOMSEN, AMSTERDAM, within further generous outer ring engraved with compass rose cardinal points annotated in Dutch N, NO, O, ZO, Z, ZW, W and NW and divided into thirty-two increments, with scroll pierced steel hour and minute hands and pictorial panel-centred scroll pierced cast gilt brass spandrels to angles, the shallow arch with pierced oval silvered monogram panel RWR flanked by conforming rococo scroll mounts, the movement and dial supported via four substantial horizontal posts secured to the backplate via latches onto a brass break-arch panel forming the rear of the case, with lift-off break-arch hood incorporating shallow cavetto cornice and slender rounded angles to the hinged glazed front panel, the right hand side with small pendulum access door, the inverted ogee-shaped base forming a mounded-edge rectangular table for the hood over shaped panels within slender corner mouldings and terminating with a concave-sided pendant, (pendulum lacking).59cm (23.25ins) high excluding hanging eye, 33cm (13ins) wide, 12.5cm (5ins) deep. Thomas Thomsen is recorded in Morpurgo, Enrico Nederlands Klokken - en Horlogemakers Vanaf 1300 as a prominent clockmaker working in Amsterdam circa 1760. He was probably the father of T. Thomson who later lived and worked from 177 Achterburgwal, Amsterdam. A fine walnut quarter-striking astronomical longcase clock by Thomas Thomsen was sold at Christies, London sale of MAGNIFICENT CLOCKS 15th September 2004 (lot 36) for £94,850. The provision of compass rose cardinal points within the outer margin of the chapter ring of the present clock is an unusual and enigmatic feature. The purpose of this is unknown but would suggest that the timepiece was possibly originally conceived to provide an indication of wind direction through to mechanical connection to an external weathervane driving a third hand. Although there is no obvious direct evidence of such a mechanism being incorporated there are a few small spare holes to the both the movement and case which may support this theory.

AN INTERESTING PROVINCIAL PARQUETRY DECORATED WALNUT SMALL THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCKMAJOR SCHOFIELD, ROCHDALE, CIRCA 1750, THE CASE PROBABLY EARLIERThe four pillar two-handed countwheel bell striking movement with Huygens endless rope winding and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 10.25 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture and dummy winding holes to the rococo scroll and floral spray engraved centre signed Major, Schofield, ROCH,DALE to centre, within applied Roman numeral with foliate scroll half hour markers and large Arabic five minutes beyond the arcaded minute ring incorporating text Tempus Fugit to upper margin, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and applied figural cast 'four seasons' spandrels to angles, in a case with generous ogee cornice and plain frieze over hinged glazed dial surround applied with Solomonic twist three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with small rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with slender rectangular door centred with a 'bullseye' lenticle set a moulded surround between two parquetry star motifs within line-edged crossbanded surround and half-round cross grain mouldings, the plinth base with stepped ogee top moulding over conforming parquetry star-centred decoration to front and moulded skirt.202cm (79.5ins) high, 49.5cm (19.5ins) wide, 27cm (10.27ins) deep. Major Schofield senior is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as born in 1707 and working in Manchester, Salford and Rochdale until his death in 1783, He was succeeded by his son of the same name. The case of the current lot is notable in that the form and design echoes that of London work of around 1680, in particular details such as Solomonic twist columns and rear bargeboards rising up into the cornice to the hood, convex throat mouldings and large parquetry motifs around a lenticle to the trunk (see Robinson, Tom THE LONGCASE CLOCK page 92). This would suggest that either the case is either a late 17th century 'provincial' model following slightly earlier London practice or, if was made at the same time as the movement and dial, was executed in an 'archaic' style. Condition Report: Movement is complete and in reasonably clean working order. The mechanism appears very original with no obvious replacements. The pinions show wear and all wheel above the greatwheels have been moved along the arbor slightly to ensure engagement with a unworn part of the next pinion in the train. This is a traditional sensitive repair to enable the clock be to used without having to replace pinions. The bell and stand appear to be replacements and there is some noticeable hammering around the lower lower right movement pillar to the backplate. The dial is in relatively clean condition and is complete with calendar mechanism. The right hand false winding square has been bent a little to endure correct alignment with its hole and one of the cartwheel spokes has an old rivet repair. The hour hand is a replacement and the spandrel securing screws have been renewed other wise faults are limited to light uneven oxidation.The case is constructed with elm carcass except for the trunk door which is pine. The backboard has a cut just above the top of the throat moulding and a separate section (in elm) also fitted via a lap joint to the inside surface continuing up to dress the rear of the hood. Although this appears to be a later repair the colour of the timber (where visible) as well as the way in which the top of the principal part of the backboard is dressed would indicate that it was done a very long time ago. The seatboard appears equally ancient/original to the movement and is secured to uprights (also in elm) which are applied to the inside of the side of the trunk which terminate at throat level. This detail is very similar in its execution as to the panel applied to the backboard suggesting that they were done at the same time. The back panel and seatboard have an old wash of black paint. The hood is in fine original condition with faults essentially limited to shrinkage cracking and small losses to the sides around the glazed apertures following the lines of the joints within the carcass beneath. The inside rear edges of the hood also have a black wash, the rear edges (behind the bargeboards) have been rubbed back suggesting that the may have been fitted with tongues for rising in grooves cut into the upper part of the original backboard.The trunk is generally in fine condition although the backboard has historic worm damage, losses and splitting towards the lower edge requiring a bracing panel to be fitted over the back pf the plinth. Otherwise the structure of the plinth appears all original and in sound condition with the exception of the skirting which is a fairly recent replacement. There is no evidence to suggest the clock was ever fitted with bun feet. The veneers and mouldings are generally in fine original condition. The left hand side of the trunk has an oval patch insert which was required to fill a scoop cut into the inside surface of the carcass to allow for the pendulum swing. The right-hand side has a similar scoop which is not deep enough to affect the veneers on the exterior. The centre of these scoops is each approximately 7cm below the centre of the lenticle. Otherwise faults are limited to historic small losses to the veneers, relatively light age-related shrinkage and other blemishes. The trunk door retains its original lock and hinges.Clock has a lead weight, pendulum (rod snapped at the junction with the rod block) and a case key.Useful dimensions;Hood - depth between inside edge of frame around dial and the backboard - 15.5cmHood - height between bottom edge of front glass and the upper edge of the seatboard - 6cmHood - dimensions of front glass - 25cm wide, 26cm highHood - height of lower edge of the side glasses from the upper surface of the chin - 13cmHood and Trunk - distance between lower edge of the hood front glass to the centre of the lenticle - 74cm Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE II/III EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT AND DIALTHE ARCH WITH A SIGNTURE BOSS ENGRAVED FOR THOMAS PEIRCE, BRISTOL, MID 18th CENTURYThe five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and herringbone border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with scroll-pierced blued-steel hands and twin bird and urn cast spandrels to angles, the arch centred with a silvered boss engraved Thomas, Peirce, Bristol within a concentric foliate band and moulded brass bezel flanked by dolphin and foliate scroll cast mounts, (no lines or pulleys).43cm (17ins) high, 30.5cm (12ins) wide excluding the loose seatboard, 15cm (6ins) deep including crutch. Thomas Pierce is recorded in Moore, A.J. CLOCKMAKERS OF BRISTOL 1650-1900 as the second clockmaker with this name who worked in Bristol 1732-93. He was apprenticed to Joseph Smith in 1732 and first worked from 48 Wine Street 1739-45 and then 57 Corn Street from 1761. The arch of the dial of the present lot shows evidence of originally been designed with apertures for a 'rocking-eye' automaton; these are now mostly filled and concealed behind the signature boss signed for Thomas Pierce. Whether this was executed as a 'rethink' by Pierce at the time of making, or a modification undertaken at a later date, is not known. 

A GEORGE III THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT AND DIALPETER FEARNLEY, WIGAN, CIRCA 1775The four-pillar countwheel bell striking two-handed movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum and Huygens's endless rope winding, the 13 inch square brass dial with dummy winding squares, subsidiary seconds dial and shaped silvered plaque signed FEARNLEY, WIGAN to the unusual diamond lozenge hatched matted centre, within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with calendar scale to inside track and Arabic five minutes beyond the dot minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and applied gilt brass rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles, (calendar work incomplete); now with an oak wall bracket and simple box hood cover of recent construction.The movement 33cm (13ins) square, 15cm (6ins) deep including crutch. Peter Fearnley is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as born circa 1749, he married Ann Lawson (from a fellow Wigan clockmaking family) in 1776 and died 1826.  

AN EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT AND DIALTHE DIAL SIGNED FOR JOHN KIRTON, EARLY 18th CENTURYThe five finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with ringed winding holes elaborate herringbone, foliate scroll and basket of flowers border-engraved calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised basket-hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with pierced steel hands and cast gilt brass twin cherub and crown pattern spandrels to angles beneath and added arch centred with a herringbone border engraved silvered boss inscribed John Kirton, London flanked by dolphin cast mounts (no weights); together with a thirty-hour longcase clock movement, circa 1700, with four finned pillars, anchor escapement and outside countwheel, (no motionwork centre post, dial, bell, pendulum or weight), (2).The Kirton movement and dial 42cm (16.5ins) high, 30.5cm (12ins) wide, 15cm (6ins) deep.

Reynolds, Kirkbride to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles, the second with arched calendar aperture to the rococo scroll engraved centre within similar applied silvered chapter ring signed Grindall, Dumfries to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hands and female mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles; with a pine longcase clock hood, late 18th century, with 11 inch square dial aperture, (3).The first movement 29cm (11.5cm) high, 37cm (14.5ins) wide to ends of seatboard, 15cm (6ins) deep; the second 29cm (11.5cm) high, 33cm (13ins) wide to ends of seatboard, 16cm (6.25ins) deep. W. Reynolds of Kirkbride does not appear to be recorded in the usual sources; a John Grindall junior in recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the world, Volume 2 as working in Dumfries in 1789.  

A FRENCH LOUIS STYLE BRASS MOUNTED INLAID BURR WALNUT MINIATURE LONGCASE MANTEL CLOCK UNSIGNED, CIRCA 1900The circular eight-day two train countwheel bell striking movement with platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the backplate stamped with serial number 655, the 3 inch circular cream enamel dial with simulated segmented Roman cartouche numerals and generous Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with scroll-shaped steel hands set behind a hinged moulded cast-brass convex bevel-glazed bezel, the case with cast cockerel surmount to the concave-sided upstand applied to the drum housing the movement, the front with rocaille scroll cast mount enveloping the dial over concave fronted ogee-shaped support decorated with marquetry foliate trail to fascia flanked by acanthus angle mounts, the trunk of slightly bombe-waisted form with brass concave throat moulding over stylised rococo urn and floral scroll inlaid decoration within a scroll-cast applied border to front, flanked by conforming acanthus angle mounts, the burr-veneered sides with further mounts to back edges, the flush rear also burr-veneered and incorporating hinged glazed bezel behind the movement, the serpentine-shaped skirt base with brass ogee top moulding over floral cast swag mount to front flanked by leaf cast decoration to the projecting canted angles, on rococo scroll cast bracket feet.54cm (21.25ins) high, 17cm (6.75ins) wide, 11cm (4.25ins) deep. Condition Report: Movement is not presently running; the platform is a little loose and the mechanism is generally somewhat dirty/gummed-up hence will require a clean and overhaul and possible attention/renewal of the platform. The strike mechanism is working however the bell hammer is currently detached (but is present with the clock). The backplate has a small filled section just beneath the platform suggesting the the movement was originally designed to have a pendulum and then modified for a platform escapement - this was most likely done at the time the clock was made. The dial has very slight enamel chipping to the left hand winding hole and a small edge crack at six o'clock; both of these are only visible on closer examination (hence are not disfiguring). The case is generally in fine condition although the mounts have at some time been cleaned with metal polish hence much of the original gilding is either gone or in now very thin. The veneers are free from notable defects other than a few light historic bumps and scuffs; they are of fine quality and good mellow colour.Clock is complete with a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY CROSSBANDED EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH 'PENNY MOON' LUNAR CALENDARJOSEPH SILL, WIGTON, CIRCA 1760The four finned and ringed pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square gilt brass dial with penny moon lunar month indication over decorative arched calendar aperture to the foliate scroll engraved matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with foliate half hour markers and generous Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track incorporating engraved signature Jo: Sill, WIGTON to upper margin, with scroll pierced steel hands and Indian mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles, the case with generous cavetto cornice over hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by slender free-standing Doric columns with conforming half columns positioned to the rear of each side, the trunk with ogee throat moulding over ogee-arch top caddy moulded mahogany crossbanded door flanked by fluted quarter columns to front angles, on plinth base fronted with rectangular panel-outline mahogany band to fascia flanked by canted angles over moulded skirt incorporating bracket feet with shaped apron between.208cm (82ins) high, 56cm (22ins) wide, 30.5cm (12ins) deep. Joseph Sill worked in Wigton, Cumberland, as both a clockmaker and innkeeper from circa 1729 when he succeeded his father Richard Sill. He died in 1803. Condition Report: Movement is complete, original and is essentially in working condition however a clean/service is required. The backcock has a break in its casting hence will require attention. The dial has crack to the left-hand margin which has been repaired by riveting a small bracing plate to the rear. Dial otherwise is in good original condition with nice moderately aged patination. The calendar and moon disc mechanisms are intact. The pine seatboard has age but is probably not original, there is no packing to the cheek uprights of the case but there is evidence of some adjustment hence we cannot offer any assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in sound condition. The front ogee top moulding has been replaced and the front corners rounded and there is a crack to the left-hand side of the hood otherwise is in good original untouched condition. The rest of the case is relatively untouched. The rear left-hand edge has a slender section split-out (approx. 20cm in length) and the trunk door has had a nock to the flower corner causing crossbanding to break-off. The plinth has a vertical shrinkage crack and the skirt/feet has been replaced, Faults are otherwise limited to bumps, scuffs and other faults commensurate with age.Clock has pair of faceted lead weights and a pendulum. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GREEN CHINOISERIE JAPANNED EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKTHE MOVEMENT AND DIAL BY MANSELL BENNETT, LONDON, CIRCA 1695, THE CASE CIRCA 1760The five finned and ringed pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with outside locking detent to the backplate and anchor escapement regulated by 32 inch pendulum, the 11 inch square brass dial with ringed winding holes and calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and Small Arabic five minutes beyond the narrow minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and winged cherub mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles, now in a green japanned case with faint foliate scroll painted concave-sided pediment over ogee and cavetto cornice, blind fret frieze and hinged glazed dial aperture painted in gilt with floral trails to frame and applied with three-quarter Doric columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with cavetto throat mouldings gilt painted with generous scrollwork flanked by leaf motifs over rectangular door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with Oriental Arcadian garden landscape with pavilions and figures within a break-arch surround, complex mouldings and gilt trail decorated surround, on plinth base with cavetto upper moulding over conforming faint decoration to fascia and cavetto moulded skirt, (case finish with wear and losses).210cm (82.5ins) high, 46.5cm (18.25ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) deep. Mansell Bennett is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as being made a 'Free Brother' of the Clockmakers' Company in 1688. He married Lydia Wise at St. James's, Duke Place, London in 1690 and lived at Powells Buildings, St. Martin in the Fields. In 1697 Mansell Bennett signed the Clockmakers' Company oath of allegiance. In 1707 a Richard Boyce was trialled for 'Feloniously Stealing' several items form Mansell Bennett including three pendulum watches and three clocks; he was acquitted due a total lack of evidence as to his crime. Bennett attended Court until at least 1711 but was excused of serving as a Steward in 1713 due to being 'out of town'. Notwithstanding this he received payment from the Crown 'for care of the Great Clock at Kensington, £11. 14s.' the same year. He died in 1721 in the Parish of St. Martin in the Fields, Middlesex; there was a subsequent lawsuit relating to his probate (Jones V. Read). 

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASEJAMES DE LASALLE, LONDON, CIRCA 1775The five pillar two train rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and recessed bright-cut bordered silvered subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll-pierced steel hands and applied rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles, the arch with rolling moonphase incorporating engraved age-of-the-moon scale to the circumference of the lunar disc, over lunettes engraved with sunburst mask and terrestrial globes beneath signature Ja's De Lasalle, London to upper margin, the figured mahogany case with concave-sided 'pagoda' superstructure fronted with a shaped foliate pierced fret over break-arch cavetto cornice and brass stop-fluted columns flanking the hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with break-arch door fronted with flame figured veneers within complex mouldings flanked by brass stop-fluted quarter columns, the plinth base with concave top moulding over raised shaped panel to fascia, on moulded double skirt incorporating shaped apron to lower margin.243cm (95.75ins) high, 53cm (21ins) wide, 26cm (10.25ins) deep. James De Lasalle is recorded in Britten, F.J. OLD CLOCKS AND WATCHES AND THEIR MAKERS as working from Brookers Row, Moorfields, London in 1780 and then 42 St. Catherine's, Tower Hill 1800-18. Condition Report: Movement in fine clean working condition and appears all-original with no evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is in fine clean condition with the only observation worth noting is that there are some witness marks from the attachment of the calendar ring pulleys and a detent pivot are visible within the matting and there is a small filled 'pin-prick' hole above the calendar aperture. The lunar disc appears to retain its original painted finish in fine condition; the silvering has some slight patchy oxidation in places. The movement and dial rest on what appears to be the original seatboard direct onto the cheek uprights of the case; it is therefore most probable that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in very fine clean condition - the lower skirt (with shaped apron) is a restoration/replacement. The top of the hood has three empty socket holes from finials which are no longer present and the rear left-hand edge (behind the quarter column) has a crack (stable) to the carcass beneath. Otherwise the case only has a few very slight bumps and scuffs and some minimal veneer shrinkage. Clock is generally in 'take-home' condition and is complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A COLLECTION OF EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK PULLEYSANONYMOUS, LATE 17th CENTURY AND LATERComprising fourteen pairs including a pair with crossed-out centres, two sets of three, and twenty-seven un-matched single pulleys, (one pair and a single lacking pivots and loops), together with thirty-nine thirty-hour longcase/lantern clock pulleys; seven lead counterweights; an English drop dial wall clock pendulum, 19th century, with brass-faced lenticular bob and effective length of 12 inches; an English mantel clock pendulum, 19th century; another French example and a small selection of sundry items, (qty).

AN IRISH GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKALEXANDER CHRISTIE, DUBLIN, CIRCA 1770The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 13.5 inch square brass dial with vestigial arched calendar aperture and leafy rosette centred subsidiary seconds dial to the rococo scroll engraved centre signed ALEX'R CHRISTIE, DUBLIN to lower margin, within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer dot minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and generous winged cherub mask and scroll cast gilt brass spandrels to angles, the case with swan neck pediment applied with carved rosettes to the scroll terminals over cushion-shaped frieze relief carved with rococo scrolls centred with a grotesque 'green man' mask, the hinged glazed dial aperture applied with carved fluted Corinthian three-quarter columns to angles and the sides with reeded bargeboards to the rear edges, the trunk with blind geometric fret to the lip of the cavetto throat moulding over shallow caddy-moulded break-arch top door flanked by fluted Doric quarter columns to the angles, the plinth with stepped ogee top mouldings over shaped raised panel to fascia flanked by canted angles, on bracket feet.244cm (96ins) high, 53.5cm (21ins) wide, 34.5cm (13.5ins) deep. Provenance:Evelyn Gairdner-nee Handcock, only daughter of Lord Castlemaine (1897-1984) thence by family descent the current vendor. This clock was rescued from Moydrum Castle near Athlone, Ireland before the castle was burned down in July 1921.  Alexander Christie is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Dublin 1758 until his death in 1801. Condition Report: Movement is basically complete and original with the exception of the calendar drive flag (would have originally been fitted to the hour hand tube). There is nothing obvious to indicate that the movement will not run but it will require a service/setting-up. The dial plate is a little distorted behind the chapter ring where the dial feet are fitted to the spokes of the 'cartwheel' cut-outs. The right hand corner is also bent a little backwards and is missing its tip. The dial feet are a little misaligned also so will require adjustment. The calendar disc has been secured tight on its post (does not turn). Hands appear undamaged. The chapter ring has lost its silvering and overall the dial is in neglected condition. The movement is attached to what appears to be its original seatboard however the cheek uprights of the case are applied with various pieces of packing suggesting that the movement and dial are not original to the case. The case is essentially complete and original but requires general moderate attention from a case/furniture restorer. The hood is in good condition with faults essentially limited to repairs to the hood column capitals, a loose rosette to the pediment, general light bumps and nocks to the extremities and carving and slight shrinkage cracks to the sides. The front right hand corner has a scarf repair to the corner infront of the column. The carcass of the rest of the case trunk is in good condition with strong structure. The lower hinge of the trunk door has at some point been 'pulled' causing splitting to the surround into which the hinge was screwed; some re-gluing/making sound this damage has been done. The plinth front panel is warped (front lower edge projects around 7mm) and has a crack, the lower left small quadrant infill panel is also loose; otherwise plinth is in sound condition. Finish is generally somewhat dull/muted and there are relatively minor bumps, scuffs and other blemishes commensurate with age.Clock has pendulum, two weights, a case key and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y&nbspAN INTERESTING QUEEN ANNE EBONY TABLE/BRACKET CLOCKRICHARD STREET, LONDON, CIRCA 1715The six finned pillar twin fusee inside rack bell striking movement now with anchor escapement for regulation by lenticular bob pendulum incorporating worm gear rise/fall regulation to suspension, the backplate finely engraved with leafy herringbone border enclosing symmetrical foliate scrollwork around a central classical bust resting on a shelf draped with a lambrequin signed RICH. STREET, LONDON, the 6.5 inch brass break-arch dial with false bob and calendar apertures and applied silvered oval plate engraved Rich'd Street, London to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with cruciform half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with fine delicate scroll pierced steel hands and unusual winged cherub mask and scroll cast spandrel mounts to angles with the upper concealing engraved rosettes and spare holes indicating original provision of twin selection rings, the arch with rosette-centred subsidiary dial engraved with Arabic numeral hour chapters flanked by bird inhabited foliate scrollwork, the inverted bell-top case with substantial hinged bras carrying handle and crisp complex waist mouldings to the distinctive ogee-shaped superstructure, with ogee and cavetto top mouldings and hinged front applied with complex raised mouldings to the break-arch glazed dial aperture and upper quadrant panels, the sides with rectangular over break-arch glazed apertures and the rear with break-arch glazed door incorporating blind upper quadrant panels set within the frame of the case, on cavetto moulded skirt base with block feet.44cm (17.25ins) high with handle down, 25.5cm (10ins) wide, 17cm (6.75ins) deep. Richard Street is an important but relatively enigmatic maker who is recorded in Baillie G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1687, made Assistant in 1713 and appointed Warden 1716. He was a fine maker who had close working connections with Thomas Tompion for whom it is thought he made repeating watch movements (see Evans, Jeremy THOMAS TOMPION at the Dial and Three Crowns page 114). Street is perhaps best known for his commission by Sir Isaac Newton to supply a monumental month duration longcase clock for presentation to Dr. Bentley for the Observatory at Trinity College Cambridge in 1708; he also, alongside William Wright, took over the maintenance of the turret clock at St. Pauls Cathedral from Langley Bradley in 1716. A year going clock in an Arabesque marquetry case by Street survives in the Collection of the National Trust at Melford Hall, Suffolk.  The engraving to the backplate of the current lot can be broadly compared to decoration discussed in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass within the chapter titled 'Vine engraving 1700-1740' (pages 313-336). However, perhaps the strongest similarities are seen on backplates for clocks by George Graham illustrated earlier in the publication on pages 276-78 (figures 15.14-.16). From this it would be reasonable suggest that the backplate of the present clock was executed by the same engraver - Tompion/Graham's 'graver G.195'. The case of the present clock also demonstrates a high-quality individual approach with regards to detailing. This is most noticeable within the design of the superstructure which, in addition to being fitted with a particularly generous cast brass handle, has bold waist mouldings over individual ogee-profile to the caddy itself. This departs from the usual stepped ogee profile seen on other cases made by Street's contemporaries, including Quare and Graham; and is suggestive of a maker looking to set himself aside from others. Evidence in both the movement and dial of the present clock indicate that it was originally made with pull-quarter repeat and subsidiary selection dials (one most likely for strike/silent selection) to the upper spandrel areas. Although the mechanism has lost some of its original features, there has been minimal alteration to both the movement and dial. Hence the clock presents as a tantalising restoration project which would result in an example of fine specification and full of individual character reflective of one of the most interesting and enigmatic makers of the period. 

A GEORGE II OAK THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCKT. DICKER, SILCHESTER, CIRCA 1745The single-handed posted countwheel bell striking movement with rectangular section steel corner posts rivetted to the brass top and bottom plates and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 10 inch square brass dial with matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markets and signed T. Dicker, Silchester to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hand and urn-centred scroll cast spandrels to angles, in an oak case with architectural cornice and plain frieze over hinged glazed dial aperture applied with Doric three-quarter columns to angles, the rear edge with matching quarter columns, the trunk with concave throat over rectangular caddy moulded door, on plinth base with cavetto top moulding over plain skirt.202cm (79.5ins) high, 47cm (18.5ins) wide, 26.5cm (10.5ins) deep. Thomas Dicker is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Silchester, Hampshire, 1736-56 before moving to Reading where he worked until his death in 1774. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition and appears fundamentally all original. The dial is in good condition with faults limited to a few blemishes to the chapter ring which also has patchy discolouration to the silvering. Movement has later seatboard set on packing pieces indicating that the movement and dial are probably not original to the case. The case presents as being in good visual condition but has replaced backboard and the plinth has been re-faced with plywood fronted by veneers which match the rest of the case very well. Skirt is also a replacement. Clock has a pendulum and weight.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III OAK EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH 'ROCKING SHIP' AUTOMATONDE LASALLE, LONDON, CIRCA 1785The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch single sheet silvered brass break-arch Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds and calendar dials and signed De Lasalle, LONDON to centre, within Roman numeral hour chapters and Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with blued steel hand beneath recessed demi-lune scene to arch finely painted with a rocky coastal landscape and incorporating a square-rigged armed Indiaman rocking back and forth with the motion of the pendulum, set beneath silvered upper margin engraved with leafy trails, the oak case with concave-sided 'pagoda' superstructure over break-arch cavetto cornice and fluted three quarter columns applied to the angles of the hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with break-arch door applied with complex edge mouldings, the plinth base with concave top moulding over moulded skirt incorporating shaped apron to lower margin.228cm (89.5ins) high, 49.5cm (19.5ins) wide, 25.5cm (10ins) deep. Provenance:Previously from the estate of the late Roy Carter. James De Lasalle is recorded in Britten, F.J. OLD CLOCKS AND WATCHES AND THEIR MAKERS as working from Brookers Row, Moorfields, London in 1780 and then 42 St. Catherine's, Tower Hill 1800-18. 

AN UNUSUAL MUSICAL THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT IN A CARVED OAK HOODED WALL CASETHE CHAPTER RING SIGNED FOR JAMES DELANCE, FROME, CIRCA 1695 AND LATERThe posted outside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum and incorporating a musical train playing a tune every four hours via a 4 inch pinned cylinder operating 14 hammers on a graduated nest of seven bells, the corner posts turned as Doric columns but with square-section shafts to allow screw pivot inserts for the various strike and music work detent pivots, the later 10 inch square brass dial plate with symmetrical stylised foliate scroll engraved centre within applied period silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword-hilt half hour markers and engraved I DELANCE, FROME to lower margin, with scroll-pierced steel hand and winged cherub mask and foliate scroll pierced spandrels to angles, now in a carved oak hooded wall case with crest carved as an architectural arcade enclosing figures of armed medieval nobles, over ogee and cavetto moulded cornice and alternating rosette decorated frieze, the hinged glazed dial aperture with foliate trail carved surround flanked by spiral floral trail decorated columns and glazed panels to sides, the bracket with concave throat moulding over frieze applied with panels carved with masks and twin scroll apron, the sides formed as shaped floral decorated brackets and the back panel carved with repeating fan-shaped motifs over shaped pendant.159cm (62.5ins) high, 48cm (19ins) wide, 27cm (10.75ins) 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. Although the present lot has a replaced dial plate and evidence suggesting re-working or possibly the addition of the music train, there are many features which are commensurate with the work of Delance and other Frome-area makers of the late 17th century. Condition Report: The movement is complete and essentially in working condition however would most likely require fettling/adjustment and is dusty so would benefit from a light clean. The going train appears original/period except for the escape wheel and pallets. The strike train also appears all original; the hour bell is cracked. The barrel of the music train together with the drive wheel, countwheel, fly and pinions for the two wheels before the fly appear old/period although these two wheels themselves would seem to be later than the rest. One of the rear pivot tabs (for these two wheels and the fly - secured to the underside of the top plate) looks original, the other two are later. The music train horizontal front pivot bar is relatively recent and its layout would suggest that the wheel front pivots may have been integral with the original dial plate (which may account for why it has been replaced). The hammer assembly appears to incorporate early elements (such as the hammer and pivot blocks). All lifting pieces/detents and arbors appear old and essentially in their original form. The trains now run with chains (would have originally been rope. The original dial plate would have been mounted via four dial feet; the lower two are utilised with the current dial plate and the upper left is now used for the later music train front pivot bar. The dial plate is 20th century but with reasonably well-executed faithful-looking engraving The chapter ring appears period; the spandrels are also probably old but have been heavily buffed-up. The hand is also 'period'. The case is late 18th century with late 19th century carved decoration. Generally it is in sound condition with no notable worm damage etc but is somewhat neglected with historic bumps, scuffs etc.Clock is complete with pendulum and two weights. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK MADE FOR THE IBERIAN MARKETTHOMAS LOZANO, LONDON, CIRCA 1775The five pillar two train rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture, rosette decorated recessed silvered subsidiary seconds dial and silvered arched nameplate engraved THOMAS LOZANO EN LONDRES to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll-pierced steel hands and applied rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles, the arch with subsidiary Strike/Silent selection dial flanked by conforming rococo cast mounts, the figured mahogany case with concave-sided 'pagoda' superstructure fronted with a shaped foliate pierced fret over break-arch cavetto cornice and brass stop-fluted columns flanking the hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with rectangular windows and plain quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with break-arch door fronted with flame figured veneers within complex mouldings, the plinth base with concave top moulding over raised panel to fascia, on moulded double skirt incorporating shaped apron to lower margin.244cm (96ins) high excluding finials, 53cm (21ins) wide, 26.5cm (10.5ins) deep. Thomas Lozano was Spanish by birth and is known to have worked in both London and Spain. Whilst working in London it seems that he primarily produced timepieces for export to his native Spain; he is also known to have successfully repaired damaged marine chronometers for the Spanish Navy in 1786. Condition Report: Movement in fine clean working condition and appears all-original with no evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The pivot holes have been 'dished'. The dial is in fine clean condition with the only observation being that the minute hand has been repaired. The movement and dial rest on what appears to be the original seatboard direct onto the cheek uprights of the case; it is therefore most probable that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in very good condition. The hood has some slight shrinkage cracking to the veneers and side panels otherwise is free form notable defects. The rest of the case is in similar condition with notable faults limited to a few well matched small localised veneer patch repairs to the plinth as well as other very small cosmetic repairs to fill edge bruising. The sides of the plinth also has slight undulation in the surface due to movement in the timber beneath although there are no cracks or losses due to this movement. The lower skirting (incorporating the shaped apron) is a well-made replacement.Clock is complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, winder and two case keys. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY LONGCASE CLOCK CASEANOMYNOUS, PROBABLY LONDON, CIRCA 1780The cavetto moulded break-arch cornice applied with a wavy crest and three reeded finial plinths over hinged glazed dial aperture for a 12 inch break-arch dial flanked by free-standing reeded columns with brass caps and bases, the sides with rectangular brass fish scale sound frets and quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding over flame-figured break-arch door applied with complex edge mouldings and flanked by fluted canted angles, on plinth base applied with mouldings to form a shaped panel over double skirt incorporating bracket feet with shaped apron between.222cm (87.5ins) high excluding finials, 52cm (20.5ins) wide, 25cm (9.75ins) deep. Condition Report: Case is generally in clean original condition with only minor age-related faults. The hood has some shrinkage/opening to the joins in panel around the apertures to the sides; the left hand fret is a little loose. The curved top has typical cracking between the segments that form the curvature. The glazed front door has a slight spring which would be pulled-in when locked. The rest of the case is also in very clean condition with the only notable fault being slight opening of the vertical joint between the two sections that form the backboard. The trunk door is very straight and retains its original locks and hinges. The cheek uprights appear to be at their original level. The finish to the case has minimal bumps and scuffs however the colour is a orange/pink hence would benefit from the attention of a good finisher to incorporate some darker tones.Case has a single key for the trunk only.Useful dimensions:Max height of dial aperture into the rebate of the mask - 42.5cm.Max width into the rebate of the mask - 31cmdistance between the level of the lower rebate in the mask and the top edge of the cheek uprights - 3cm.Condition Report Disclaimer

A QUEEN ANNE POSTED THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT WITH TEN-INCH DIALUNSGNED, PROBABLY LANCASHIRE, EARLY 18th CENTURYThe countwheel bell-striking movement with separately wound trains, anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum and well detailed column-turned corner posts, the 10 inch square brass dial engraved with stylised urn and tulip blooms within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with large sword-hilt half hour markers, with scroll-pierced brass hand and cast figural spandrels emblematic of the four seasons to angles, (no pendulum or weights).33cm (13ins) high, 18cm (7ins) deep overall.  The current lot can be directly compared to another unsigned movement and dial housed in an oak case described and illustrated in Darken, Jeff TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 pages 72-73. Of particular note is the very similar dial engraving which is almost certainly executed by the same hand as that of the current lot. Details in both the movements, such as separately wound trains, design of the bell-stand and hammer, and identical pattern of corner post casting would appear to confirm that both the example illustrated by Darken and the current lot originated in the same workshop. The slighter later pattern of spandrel casting present on the current dial would suggest that it probably dates to the early 18th century rather than around 1690 suggested for the other example described by Darken. Condition Report: Movement is complete and in fine original 'untouched' condition. The front leading edge of the top plate has a strip of brass secured by two screws just in front of the front movement bar to ensure the bar remains securely in place. The upper dial securing lug has two later screws of incorrect type otherwise movement appears 100 percent original. The trains exhibit some noticeable pinion wear however the pivots are generally very good hence the trains will run. Mechanism has general dark oxidised patination and is dusty. The dial plate has slight bow - bending backwards at each corner behind each spandrel and the hand has an old repair replacing the tip otherwise is in fine original untouched condition albeit very dirty/discoloured.Movement does not have weights, ropes or pendulum. Condition Report Disclaimer
