A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKJohn Ellicott, London, circa 1760The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed John, Ellicott, Lon,don to lower margin, with scroll-pierced steel hands and fine crisply cast rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch with silvered Strike/Silent selection dial flanked by dolphin cast mounts, the case with concave sided 'pagoda' upstand adorned with brass flambeau urn finials and with shaped fretwork panel to fascia over cavetto moulded break-arch cornice and hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by brass stop-fluted columns, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding over solid mahogany break-arch door applied with complex mouldings to edges, the base with concave top mouldings over rectangular raised panel and moulded double skirt.240cm (94.5ins) high excluding finials, 53.5ins (21ins) wide, 27cm (10.5ins) deep. John Ellicott F.R.S. is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as born 1706 to John Ellicott senior, a Cornish clockmaker who had gained his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1696 and died 1733. John junior worked from Swithin's Alley, Royal Exchange, London and was elected member of the Royal Society in 1738. He published works on horology in 1739 and 1753 and is particularly noted for the development of the cylinder escapement and a form of compensated pendulum; he also maintained a private observatory at his home in Hackney. John Ellicott was later appointed as Clockmaker to George III, and took his son, Edward into partnership in 1760 which lasted until his death in 1772. The present clock is notable in that it has survived in fine original condition and is very much a textbook example of its type made by one of the leading English horologists of the 18th century.Condition Report: Movement is complete and in clean working condition having been recently serviced and there is no evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial is in good clean condition with only minor discolouration/spotting to the silvered finishes in places; the hands appear original and undamaged. The movement retains what appears to be the original seatboard which rests on the directly onto the case uprights (cheeks) which have historic nail holes corresponding to those in the seatboard which serve to confirm that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is in fine original condition. The shaped fretwork panel to the hood is a replacement and two of the small pads that support the finials are a loose (simply require re-gluing) otherwise faults are very much limited to very minor historic bumps, scuffs and other age related blemishes. The patination/colour is notable in its originality.Clock is complete with pendulum, pair of brass-cased weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM POSTED THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT WITH TEN-INCH DIALWilliam Speakman, London, circa 1695The countwheel bell-striking two-handed movement with Huygens's endless winding, anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum and column-turned corner posts, the 10 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track and signed Etherington, London to lower margin, with scroll-pierced steel hands and winged cherub mask cast spandrels to angles, now in an oak hooded wall case with ogee-moulded shallow-arch pediment over fixed glazed dial aperture and rectangular side windows to hood, the wall bracket with inverted pointed arch-shaped lower edge to the backboard applied with ogee-outline brackets beneath convex throat mouldings, (no pendulum or weights).The case 72cm (28.5ins) high, 35cm (13.75ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep  Provenance: The Estate of Lawrance Hurst. William Speakman is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as apprenticed in 1654 to Peter Closon then Andrew Prime (through Nicholas Tomlins) and gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in September 1661. He initially worked from in Westminster and took in numerous apprentices including three of his sons; Thomas (freed 1685), Edward (freed 1681/2) and William (II) who was entered into his apprenticeship in 1688 but apparently never gained his freedom. In July 1682 he was chosen as a Clockmakers' Company Steward, became an Assistant from 1691, Warden from 1698, served as Master in 1701 and continued attending until his death in 1717.Condition Report: Movement is in original albeit very dirty/neglected condition with heavy patination to the brass and light surface corrosion to the steelwork throughout. The trains appear entirely original including the escape wheel; the pallets may well be 19th century service replacements. The warning locking flag has been repaired and the crutch appears to be a replacement made from bent wire; the hammer has also been repaired and one of the screws for securing the dial to the top plate is missing. The calendar driving wheel is missing. Otherwise movement appears in sound 'untouched' condition although the pinions due exhibit fairly heavy wear mainly to the upper wheels of the strike train. The dial is in dirty but good original condition; the hour hand is a later replacement.The case has some age (most likely early 20th century) but is not contemporary to the movement. The backboard is has noticeable historic worm damage to the upper corners and at the base otherwise case is in sound condition with only minor age related shrinkage and a few bumps, scuffs, blemishes commensurate with age. The surface is dirty/dusty but this adds to a feeling of age and would probably form a good basis for reasonable patina/colour in the hands of a good case restorer/finisher.As catalogued there is no pendulum or weight with the current lot. Condition Report Disclaimer

A VICTORIAN MAHOGANY FUSEE DROP-DIAL WALL TIMEPIECE AND A GROUP OF ENGLISH CLOCK MOVEMENTSThe drop-dial timepiece signed for J. Greatbatch, Birmingham, circa 1865The four pillar eight-day single fusee movement with anchor escapement and 12 inch circular white painted Roman numeral dial inscribed J.

Greatbatch is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Birminghamd 1850-68. 

AN IMPRESSIVE VICTORIAN MAHOGANY QUARTER-CHIMING LONGCASE REGULATORSmith and Sons, London, mid 19th centuryThe substantial four double-screwed columnar pillar triple train movement with plates measuring 9.75 by 10.25 inches and six-spoke wheel crossings throughout, the going train with Harrison's maintaining power and deadbeat escapement regulated by mercury jar compensated pendulum incorporating fine beat adjustment to crutch, the quarter train chiming on a graduated nest of eight bells and the hour sounding on a large coiled gong, the 12 inch circular single-sheet silvered brass Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds and STRIKE/SILENT, FULL CHIME/WESTMINSTER CHIME selection dials to the centre signed SMITH & SONS., ST. JOHN'S SQUARE., CLERKENWELL., with blued steel spade hands set within canted silvered bezel, the substantial case with ogee-capped concave-sided upstand, stylised twist baton carved cavetto cornice and repeating scroll decorated frieze over recessed quadrant panels around the dial aperture to hood door flanked by canted angles and with deep-set foliate scroll pierced arched sound frets to sides, the trunk with urn finials over complex top mouldings and repeating split baton frieze to throat above arch-glazed door enclosing silvered pendulum beat scale flanked by Egyptian style faceted three-quarter columns with stylised leafy caps and flared moulded bases, the plinth of inverted breakfronted form decorated with crisply moulded panels to front over tall skirt with complex upper mouldings.217cm (85.5ins) high, 66cm (26ins) wide, 34cm (13.5ins) deep.  The clockmaking business of John Smith and Sons of Clerkenwell can trace its roots back to 1780 however gained much greater significance when they became established in St. John's Square, at the former manufactory of Colonel Mangier, from 1844. The firm ran extensive workshops which incorporated a dedicated brass foundry, clock case workshop and assembly areas for the various types of clocks produced and was featured in the 20th September 1851 issue of the Illustrated London News in an article entitled Visit to a Clerkenwell Clock Factory. At the Great Exhibition held that year they exhibited a year going calendar clock and another chiming clock, chiming on 8 bells and striking on a gong. Ultimately John Smith and Sons perhaps became best known for their skeleton clocks, many of which illustrated in their 1865 catalogue including models based on Litchfield Cathedral and York Minster, however they also produced many fine chiming bracket clocks, longcase regulators, wall clocks and public clocks. The business continued to produce clocks until 1938 when, due to the decline in demand for mechanical timepieces, they diversified to become specialist material stockholders and still continue in this role today.It has been traditionally thought by vendor's family that the current lot was exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition. Although there is no evidence to support this, the movement and case are certainly of very fine quality hence would warrant this belief. Interestingly a quarter chiming longcase clock shown by Smith and Sons at the Paris 1900 Exhibition survives in the collection of The National Trust at Castle Drogo, Devon (object/902584). This clock also has a three train four pillar movement with Harrison's maintaining power, mercury jar pendulum and chimes the quarters on eight bells or four gongs, and is housed in an elaborate Chippendale style gilt brass mounted mahogany case.Condition Report: Lot 135The movement is in fine clean fully working condition having being relatively recently serviced (prior to the former owner's death). The level of mercury in the pendulum needs topping-up (is low) and there is staining to the interior of the glass jar. The dial generally is in fine clean condition but does have a couple of light spots of tarnishing.The case is in fine condition with faults limited to the small section of angled cornice moulding to the front right hand side being detached (just need gluing back on!); one small section (approx 1 inch) of the unusual repeating block decoration to the trunk door missing; a small loss to the front left hand corner top moulding of the base and a small loss to the left hand side fret. Otherwise faults are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, slight shrinkage and wear (most notably to the skirt) commensurate with age and use.Clock is complete with pendulum, three weights, case key and winder.Maximum dimensions at base - width 67cm (26.5ins), depth 35cm (13.75ins). Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE QUEEN-ANNE BURR WALNUT EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKJohn Clark, London, circa 1710The five finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, foliate border engraved calendar aperture and ringed winding holes to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed John Clark, London to lower edge, with scroll pierced steel hands and unusual spandrels each cast as a pair of cherubs holding aloft a mask, in a walnut case with gilt ball-and-spire finials to the domed caddy surmount above moulded cornice and foliate pierced fret to frieze, three-quarter columns with giltwood caps and bases to the glazed hood door, the sides with rectangular windows and rear quarter columns each set against bargeboard rising up to the underside of the cornice projection, the trunk with convex throat above 42 inch rectangular door with finely figured book-matched veneers within herringbone and crossbanded borders, the sides with single panels within crossbanded surrounds, the plinth base with ogee top moulding and conforming herringbone-bordered crossbanded veneered panel to front over later moulded skirt.239cm (94ins) high excluding finials, 51cm (20ins) wide, 26cm (10.25ins) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. Four makers named John Clarke are recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as working in London during the latter decade of the 17th century, however there is only one who would have appeared to have remained in business until around/after 1710. It is therefore most likely that the current lot was made by John Stanford Clark(e) who is recorded by Loomes as born in 1672 and apprenticed to Thomas Jones in 1683 gaining his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1693. In 1697 John Stanford Clark(e) signed the Clockmakers' Company oath of allegiance in 1697 and took several apprentices between 1696 and 1718 hence was working at least until around 1720.Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition although a precautionary clean and overhaul is advised if intending to put the clock into long term service. There is no visible evidence or alteration or significant replacements although the escapement pallets are most likely service replacements (due to wear) and the pendulum crutch has been repaired. The dial is in good condition with noticeable faults limited to patchy discolouration/tarnishing to the silvered finishes of the chapter and seconds ring. The movement retains what appears to be its original seatboard which rests on blocks approx. ¾ inch thick applied to the top of each cheek. Although the presence of such blocks would normally suggest that the movement and dial are most likely not original to the case those present on the current case appear to have always been there and have witness marks from nails/screws which correspond to the seatboard hence on balance we are of the opinion that they are most likely 'an original feature' hence the movement and dial are probably original to the case.The case is generally in fine condition having most likely been cosmetically restored within the last thirty years or so. The caddy superstructure to the hood is joined to the rest of the structure along the top edge of the cornice however does appear to be of the same age and of commensurate construction as the rest of the case hence is possibly original. The finials and blocks are replacements and the centre one is currently detached. The cornice ogee upper edge mouldings have been replaced to both sides, the front fret has been repaired and the left fret has a thumb-sized hole. There is a small less to the lip moulding beneath the left hand hood pilaster otherwise the hood is in fine condition with only a few minor age related blemishes.The trunk and base are in fine condition. The trunk door retains its original lock and hinges and has the usual slight shrinkage cracking to the veneers toward the upper and lower margins (due to slight shrinkage of the panel against the horizontal 'clamps' applied to the top and bottom). The veneers to the base appear original as does the structure with the backboard continuing almost to the floor; there is evidence of old damp damage to the lower part of the board and the bottom four inches of each side of the box of the base would appear have had veneers renewed probably due to becoming damp at some point. The skirt is most likely a 19th century replacement. Case is generally a fine survivor and of good colour with other faults mainly limited to minor bumps, scuffs and other age related blemishes. Overall the clock is in fine 'take home' condition and would appears to be a particularly original example complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, two case keys and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A REGENCY MAHOGANY PRECISION LONGCASE TIMEPIECERobert James, London, circa 1825The four pillar single-train movement with stepped plates, high position winding-barrel and deadbeat escapement regulated by wood-rod pendulum with heavy lenticular bob, the circular 12 inch white painted dial with subsidiary seconds over Roman numeral hour dials and inscribed ROB'T JAMES, LONDON, REGULATOR to centre within outer Arabic minute track, with steel hands set behind hinged convex-glazed cast brass bezel, the break-arch case with cavetto cornice over line-inlay bordered quadrant panels around the dial aperture flanked by canted angles and circular glazed side apertures to hood over break-arch flame-figured door and conforming angles to trunk, on panel-outline plinth base with canted skirt. 197cm (77.5ins) high, 47cm (18.5ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) deep. Robert James is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers & Watchmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in London circa 1832.Condition Report: Movement is in somewhat dirty/neglected condition however will run end exhibits minimal wear hence probably only requires a gentle clean/service before putting into service. There is no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements; the seatboard appears original and rests at the correct level in the case with no apparent visible adjustments to the cheeks/uprights hence the movement and dial appear original to the case.The dial has flaking to a significant proportion of the finish, although losses are slight it will require work to stabilise/restore the surface. The case is generally in fine original condition with noteworthy faults limited to small chip to the tip left hand corner cornice moulding and a slight warp to the lower part of the trunk door (centre boes by around ¼ of an inch outwards - does not affect how the door closes). Otherwise faults are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and an 'easy' life. Overall the clock is dusty/ a little neglected in appearance hence would benefit from a clean and wax.Timepiece has pendulum, weight, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASE, CONCENTRIC CALENDAR AND CENTRE SECONDSJohn Wyke, Liverpool, circa 1770The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with centre-planted Graham-type deadbeat escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 13.25 inch brass break-arch dial incorporating additional brass sweep centre seconds and pierced concentric calendar hands to the foliate scroll engraved matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring engraved with days-of-the-month to inner track and with Arabic five minutes to outer, with scroll-pierced steel hour and minute hands and female mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles, beneath arch with rolling moonphase calibrated with age of the moon to the circumference and with silvered star overlays to the delineated sphere engraved lunettes beneath arched silvered nameplate engraved JOHN WYKE LIVERPOOL to upper margin, the case in the manner of Gillows with cavetto moulded swan neck pediment, gilt scroll decorated blue glass panel inserts and break-arch frieze over the hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by square-section reeded Corinthian columns, the sides with conforming pilasters planted towards the rear, the trunk with dentil-edged concave throat and blind fretwork frieze over shaped-top caddy-moulded door flanked by fluted quarter-columns, the plinth base with stepped ogee top mouldings over shaped panel to front flanked by canted angles decorated with simulated quoins, on ogee bracket feet.246cm (97ins) high, 61cm (24ins) wide, 30.5cm (12ins) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. John Wyke of Prescott and Liverpool is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as born in Prescott in 1720 and working up until 1787. His life and work is much more comprehensively described by Alan Smith in the preface of Wyke, John A CATALOGUE OF TOOLS FOR WATCH AND CLOCK MAKERS facsimile reprint of the late 18th century catalogue published for The Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur Museum by the University Press of Virginia, Charlottesville in 1978. Smith notes that Wyke was established in Prescott by 1753 and by 1759 was preparing to move to Liverpool where he was sworn in as a burgess in 1761. Shortly after moving to Liverpool Wyke became associated with other enlightened individuals such as fellow clockmaker and polymath Joseph Finney and the Liverpool merchant, Thomas Bentley of 'Wedgwood and Bentley' fame. Bentley in-turn introduced Wyke to Josiah Wedgewood who was looking for a suitably skilled toolmaker to supply punches and other tools for the potting trade. During this period Wyke's workshop established itself as a leading supplier of tools to the horological and other trades, indeed Smith notes that he supplied tools to the eminent engineer James Watt in 1767.In around 1770 John Wyke took in fellow clock and watchmaker Thomas Green into partnership; Green had been working for Wyke as foreman up to this point hence was seen as a natural successor. Wyke's health went into decline from around 1783 and he died at home in Liverpool in 1787 leaving Thomas Green to continue the business which he did until after 1800. The current lot is very much a typical example of Wyke's work (albeit with additional refinements of centre seconds and concentric calendar) and can be compared to two examples illustrated by Smith in the aforementioned publication on pages 8 and 9 (Figures 8-11).Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition with no evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial is in good clean condition with only very slight tarnishing/discolouration to the silvered finishes in places; the lunar disc retains original painted finish with slight wear/rubbing only. The movement and dial sit on what appears to be the original seatboard onto uprights (cheeks) within the case which are free from visible alteration/adjustment hence in our opinion the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is generally in good original condition. The superstructure of the hood appears to survive in its original form (there is no evidence of a box or any other type of structure being previously fitted) and looks undisturbed. The infill to the front of the pediment is blue glass painted with gilt scrollwork - this is most likely a replacement as the original was most likely verre-eglomise. The inside of the hood has had some strengthening/re-gluing around the dial mask - this is most likely die to the mask becoming a little loose hence not indicative that the movement and dial have been married to the case.The trunk and base are in good original condition, the trunk door lock and hinges have been replaced otherwise faults are very muck limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage (most noticeably within the figuring of the trunk door veneers) and other slight age related blemishes commensurate with age and use.Clock has pendulum, two weights, pendulum, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A DECORATIVE MAHOGANY AND FLORAL MARQUETRY QUARTER-CHIMING EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKThe dial signed for Henry Lane, Bristol, late 19th century incorporating earlier elementsThe four pillar triple-train movement chiming the quarters on a graduated nest of eight bells and rack striking the hour on a further larger bell, the going train with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and calendar aperture to the foliate trail engraved matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and inscribed Henry Lane to lower margin, with scroll-pierced steel hands and female mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath rolling moonphase to arch with scroll engraved lunettes beneath silvered outer border calibrated with the age of the moon beneath inscription HIGH WATER AT BRISTOL KEY in a case with fretwork swan neck pediment over geometric carved cornice and floral marquetry infill to the quadrants above the hinged glazed dial aperture with integral three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular brass grille frets and quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with shaped-top caddy moulded door inlaid with shaped panels of 17th century style bird inhabited flowering foliage into a rosewood ground, the surround with conforming decoration to upper quadrants, the plinth base fronted with a conforming marquetry panel over ogee bracket feet.242cm (95.25ins) high, 51cm (20ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. The current lot appears to be a late 19th century rebuild (with augmentations to the movement and case) of a clock originally by Henry Lane of Bristol who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London then Bristol 1775-97.

A FINE PATINATED AND GILT BRONZE TABLE REGULATOR WITH SIX-LEGGED GRAVITY ESCAPEMENTSinclair Harding, Cheltenham, circa 1985-90The circular gilt four double-screwed columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power, external six-legged gravity escapement incorporating jewelled pallets pivoted beneath sub frame mounted on the backplate, and regulated by half-seconds pendulum with wire rod and large diameter heavy gilt brass cylindrical bob, the 6 inch circular silvered dial with eccentric Roman numeral chapter ring interrupted by slender subsidiary seconds ring at six o'clock and with separate outer minute track, applied onto the frosted silvered ground over two curved plates signed SINCLAIR, HARDING to lower margin, with blued steel spade hands within canted gilt circular surround, the case with fluted urn finial to the gilt line bordered stepped cavetto moulded panel upstand over keystone latch for the full-height bevelled front glass and rectangular section patinated bronze corner uprights incorporating horizontal gilt line details at the base of the arch, the sides with curved glasses following the profile of the arch over gilt rail and further rectangular windows, the rear matching the front, the interior with gilt floor applied with silvered pendulum beat scale calibrated 5-0-5 and engraved with serial number 869, on stepped black marble plinth base with chamfered edges and canted angles over brass ball feet.56cm (2ins) high, 26cm (10.25ins) wide, 23cm (9ins) deep. The Cheltenham based clockmaking firm Sinclair Harding was established by Bill Sinclair and Mike Harding in 1967. Between 1971 and around 1995 the business evolved from being initially focussed on restoration and repair to designing and building their own clocks including chiming longcase and table clocks, their design of 'sea clock', giant and perpetual calendar carriage clocks. In 1995 Mike Harding retired leaving the firm in the hands of Robert Bray; the following year Sinclair Harding were commissioned to make the clock for the Oval cricket ground and the business was relocated to North Yorkshire. In 1999 their first scale version of John Harrison's sea clock was produced adding to their ever increasing catalogue of complex timepieces, and 2010 saw Robert Bray awarded the Barrett Silver Medal by the British Horological Institute as well as being appointed Vice President. The firm have always been regular attendees at Baselworld and in 2017 exhibited their Harrison H1 timepiece at Salon QP. The Gravity escapement in the current lot has its roots in the exploratory designs of some of the leading late 18th and early 19th century makers such as Berthoud, Mudge, Cumming and Hardy. Bloxam had come close to perfecting the design in 1853 however was still plagued by the fault encountered by earlier attempts in that the pallets tended to bounce off the escapement locking surface; known as 'tripping'. Edward Denison (later Lord Grimthorp) perfected the gravity escapement in 1860 by eliminating the tripping problem. He did this through the connection of a fly (air brake), directly to the escape arbor via a friction clutch. It allows the fan to advance slightly after the escapement engages the pallet. The inertia provided by the weight of the fly keeps the escapement seated against the pallet during locking; in essence acting as an 'energy sink'. This escapement provides a nearly detached pendulum from the rest of the clockwork and, as there is no sliding friction, there is no need to oil the escapement. These features made the escapement perfect for use in turret clocks where a high degree of accuracy can be maintained with minimal maintenance. There are two principal designs of gravity escapement the first is the double three-legged type the second in the four legged design. The former uses two pairs of three legs for the pallets and three impulse pins at the centre whilst the second has four legs and four pins. The disadvantage of the both of these designs is that the escape arbor revolves either 1/6 (double three legged) or 1/4 (four legged) for each beat of the pendulum hence the train of the timepiece needs suitable long gearing to maintain a reasonably long duration. The current movement is unusual in that it utilizes a six legged arrangement which has no doubt been employed to facilitate running with a half-seconds pendulum.Condition Report: Movement is in very fine original condition retaining the original gilding and bluing to the screws etc. blemish free. The mechanism is in working condition however has not been run in a while hence the action of the escapement is prone to slowing-up a little due to the lubrication of the pivots having dried out. With this in mind the mechanism would benefit from a gentle/light service before putting into service. The dial has a very slight scratch to the chapter ring between the VII and VIII numerals otherwise is blemish free.The case is in fine condition with faults limited to slight wear and a small corner chip to the lift-out rear glass panel (which cannot be seen when the panel is in place). Timepiece is complete with a crank winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASEJames Sandiford, Manchester, circa 1780The four pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 13 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and calendar aperture to the centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch with rolling moonphase calibrated for age of the moon to the circumference of the disc beneath silvered plate signed JAMES SANDIFORD to upper margin, the case in the manner of Gillows with box upstand fronted by cavetto moulded swan neck pediment, gilt scroll decorated red glass over diamond lozenge lattice-pierced panel inserts, and break-arch frieze above the hinged glazed dial aperture with bolection mouldings to frame and flanked by fluted Corinthian columns, the sides with Roman Doric half-columns planted at the rear, the trunk with ogee-outline throat and blind fretwork frieze over shaped-top door veneered in book-matched flame figured mahogany within complex moulded border flanked by fluted quarter-columns, the plinth base with stepped ogee top mouldings over conforming veneers to front flanked by canted angles on squat skirt with ogee bracket feet.240cm (94.5ins) high excluding finials, 58.5ins (23ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. James Sandiford is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Salford, Manchester 1772-81. The case of the current lot exhibits details often seen on examples known to have been made by Gillows of Lancaster most notably the bolection moulding to the hood door frame and the ogee outline throat mouldings.Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition with no evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial is in good clean condition with only very slight tarnishing/discolouration to the silvered finishes in places; the lunar disc has probably been repainted and has some slight lifting/bubbling to the painted finish. The lunettes have also been repainted and there is a bruise to the inner edge of the chapter ring beneath the VIII numeral; the hour hand is an incorrectly sized replacement. The movement and dial sit on what appears to be the original seatboard onto uprights (cheeks) within the case which are free from visible alteration/adjustment hence in our opinion the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is generally in good original condition. The superstructure of the hood appears to survive in its original form. The finial blocks are replacements and the infill to the front of the pediment is glass painted with gilt scrollwork and diamond lattice frets - these areas of infill were is most likely originally verre-eglomise hence the current glass panel and lattice frets are probably replacements. The lock for the trunk door is detached (but present and undamaged), there is a vertical shrinkage crack to the front of the plinth base and the left hand side of the trunk is a little sun-faded otherwise case is generally free form significant visible faults with damage limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and other minor age related blemishes.Clock has pendulum and two weights but no case key or winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A PAIR OF ENGLISH BRASS-CASED MONTH-DURATION LONGCASE CLOCK WEIGHTSAnonymous, probably London, late 17th to early 18th centuryEach with rounded bases, disc top cap and cylindrical hanging eye, the first cylinder measuring approximately 9.5 inches long by 2.75 inches diameter, the second approximately 10 inches long by 3 inches diameter. 

A PAIR OF ENGLISH BRASS-CASED EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WEIGHTSAnonymous, probably London, late 17th to early 18th centuryEach with rounded bases, disc top cap, cylindrical hanging eye and measuring approximately 8 inches long by 2.25 inches diameter. 

A QUEEN ANNE POSTED THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT WITH TEN-INCH DIALUnsigned, 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.

TWO THIRTY HOUR LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENTS WITH TEN-INCH DIALSJames Delance, Downton, circa 1725 and Joseph Conway, Sturminster, circa 1760The first posted with countwheel striking, Huygens's endless winding, anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum and rectangular section corner posts, the 10 inch square brass dial with matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and signed James Delance, Downton to lower margin, with scroll-pierced steel hand and twin cherub-and-crown cast spandrels to angles (strike train currently disassembled); the second four pillar countwheel bell striking with anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum, the 10 inch dial signed Jos'h Conway, STURMINSTER within an engraved rococo cartouche to centre and applied Roman numeral chapter ring with asterisk half hour markers, the angles with rococo scroll cast spandrels (lacking hand); together with a thirty hour longcase clock movement, 19th century, and a watchmakers glass-cutting tool, late 19th century, (no pendulums or weights),(4).The first movement 16cm (6.5ins) deep; the second 30.5cm (12ins) high, 13.5 (5.25ins) deep overall. 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.Joseph Conway of Sturminster does not appear to be recorded in the usual sources however a John Conway is noted in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Sturminster 1824-48; from this it is probably appropriate to speculate that John Conway may well have been a son of Joseph Conway. 

AN IMPRESSIVE GERMAN CARVED OAK HOUR-STRIKING LONGCASE REGULATOR WITH CENTRE-SECONDSUnsigned, Late 19th centuryThe four pillar eight-day two train gong striking movement with deadbeat escapement incorporating tall inverted V-shaped jewelled pallets regulated by brass lenticular bob seconds pendulum with decorative brass and steel gridiron shaft and incorporating fine beat adjustment to crutch, the slightly tapered plates fitted with jewelled pivots for the escape wheel and pallet arbors and the backplate stamped 45002 to lower margin, the 10 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with scroll-pieced blued steel hands within spun brass moulded bezel, the case with grotesque mask centred pierced shallow arch pediment over dentil cornice, cushion-panel decorated breakfronted frieze and tall arch-glazed front door applied with Renaissance style Corinthian pilasters each incorporating scroll panel decoration to lower section of the shaft, the sides with tall slender glazed panels, on panelled inverted breakfonted plinth base decorated with a rosette to centre over complex moulded skirt.156cm (101ins) high, 63.5cm (25ins) wide, 30.5cm (12ins) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection.Condition Report: Movement is in complete original condition and will run and strike however mechanism is a little dirty/neglected hence a gentle clean and overhaul will be required. The dial is in fine original condition with slight mellowing to the finishes; hands are original and undamaged. The case is in fine original condition with noticeable faults limited to two small slips of oak being detached from the rail to lower edge of each side window and a loose section of moulding to the cornice of the right hand side. The interior has some bruising to the lower surface from weights dropping in the past. Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs and shrinkage commensurate with age and use. Clock is complete with pendulum (in fine original albeit a little dirty/oxidised condition), pair of weights (slight denting to brass covers), case key and a crank winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN OYSTER WALNUT VENEERED EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKThe movement and dial by Isaac Goddard, London, late 17th century and laterThe four finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and Ho-Ho bird and crown decorated scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed Isaac Goddard, LONDON to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hands and twin cherub and crown cast spandrels to angles within a herringbone engraved border to the dial plate, now in a case with rebuilt hood incorporating complex crossgrain moulded cornice and plain frieze over free-standing Solomonic twist columns flanking the hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with repeating oyster decorated panels and further full columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with oyster veneered convex throat over 42 inch door centred with and oval lenticle and fronted with further conforming repeating oyster veneered panel with crossbanded border and half-round crossgrain mouldings, the sides also veneered with oysters within crossbanding over plinth base with complex top mouldings and conforming decoration to front on later moulded skirt.207cm (81.5ins) high, 52cm (20.5ins) wide, 28cm (14ins) deep. Isaac Goddard is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1675, gaining his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1684 and working until 1699.The case of the current clock incorporates a trunk and base of the finest quality made for an 11 inch dial clock in around 1690.Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition however a gentle clean/service will be required if intending to put the clock into long term service. The escape wheel and pallets are most likely 19th century 'service' replacements (as the originals probably wore-out). The backplate is now inscribed with GV monogram under date 1964. The dial is in good overall condition however the minute hand has been crudely repaired and the silvering has some light 'spotting' to the finish. The movement rests on an old pine seatboard which has been strengthened by screwing strips timber to the upper surface at each end. The seatboard rests on blocks approximately ¾ of an inch thick applied to the top of the trunk side uprights (cheeks).As catalogued the hood is of recent construction and has been made so that the case which was originally made for an 11 inch dial will accommodate a 12 inch dial. The hood rises upwards and has channels around the dial causing the edges to be covered when in position. Hence the clock is best considered as a composite piece put together during the early to mid 20th century incorporating 17th century elements. The hood is in good condition with the only noticeable fault being a small loss to the moulding bordering the lower edge of the frieze towards the rear of the left hand side. The trunk and base are of late 17th century construction and of fine quality construction. The backboard continues down into the base with the lower edge terminating just above the top edge of the skirting (hence appears to retain its original length); a movement securing lug left over from fitment of the original movement and dial is still present in the backboard towards the upper right hand corner.The throat has loose mouldings to the left hand side and the upper left joint above the door is also a little loose hence needs tightening. The door retains its original locks and hinges. The sides are in good condition and nicely veneered in matching oysters. The figuring/detailing of oysters applied to the front of the base are not as good quality as the trunk door so we cannot be absolutely sure that they haven't been renewed however the colour and surface matches the trunk. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and other slight age related blemishes.Clock has pendulum, two cast iron weights, a winder but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A DUTCH WALNUT AND MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY QUARTER-CHIMING LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASEThe dial signed for Jan Bernink, Amsterdam, mid 18th century and laterThe four columnar pillar triple-train movement chiming the quarters on a graduated nest of eight bells and rack striking the hour on a further larger bell, the going train with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 10.5 inch brass break-arch dial with foliate scroll engraved panels to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with elaborate scroll half hour markers, arcaded minute ring and signed JAN, BERNINK, AMSTER, DAM to lower margin, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and spandrels cast as figures emblematic of the four seasons to angles within a gadroon-engraved border, the arch with rolling moonphase with figural decorated lunettes and calibrated for the age of the moon to the circumference of the disc within fine sailing ship and figure engraved silvered arched border, in a case with carved giltwood Atlas and Angel figural finials to the break-arch cornice centred with a foliate carved crest and with blind fret frieze over integral three-quarter columns applied to the foliate trail inlaid hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with break-arch windows within conforming borders and bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with leaf decorated concave throat moulding over break-arch caddy moulded door inlaid with musical trophy over bird inhabited vase of flowers with scroll cast lenticle aperture between, the surround with foliate upper quadrant infill and line border and the sides further decorated with foliage, the plinth base with repeating lozenge inlaid concave top moulding and decorated with further musical trophy to front, on conforming decorated concave skirt with bun feet, (movement largely reconstructed during the 19th century). 229cm (90ins) high excluding figures, 43cm (17ins) wide, 25cm (9.75is) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. Jan Bernink is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Amsterdam circa 1720-50.Condition Report: As catalogued the movement has been extensively reconstructed/rebuilt most likely during the second half of the 19th century hence trains would appear to be a mixture of 18th century and 19th century work; the movement pillars are 19th century are is the back and fly cocks. The movement is essentioally in relatively clean working condition however a precautionary gentle clean/service is advisable if intending to put into service. The dial is in good original condition; there is a historic and very well executed repair to the lower margin of the lower winding hole which may be indicative of there once being a calendar aperture beneath the third hole. The silvering to the arch is worn particularly to the lower edge and the chapter ring has a general patchy discolouration and wear. The lunar disc has some wear to the painted finish otherwise is in good condition. The movement rests on an old seatboard at the correct level within the case which when coupled with the unusual dial size would suggest that the movement and dial (when first built!) were original to the case.The case is generally in good original condition with no apparent significant issues but does exhibit historic bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and other age related blemishes. The figural finials and blocks are relatively recent replacements; the dowel for supporting Atlas is currently snapped. The concave skirting around the base has some wear to the leading edge veneers.Clock has pendulum, weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A VICTORIAN EBONISED LONGCASE 'SHOP' REGULATOR INCORPORATING GREENWICH MEAN TIME GALVANOMETERArnold and Lewis, Manchester, circa 1872The substantial eight-day six double-screwed finned columnar pillar movement with plates measuring 9 by 5.125 inches enclosing wheel train with high wheel/pinion counts, six spoke wheel crossings throughout, Harrisons maintaining power and deadbeat escapement incorporating jewelled pallets, regulated by mercury jar compensated seconds pendulum incorporating wide jaw suspension, faceted glass container and hanging from a brass bracket screwed to the case backboard, the 16 inch circular cream painted dial with subsidiary seconds inscribed Regulator to apex over Roman numeral hour dial and signed ARNOLD AND, LEWIS to centre and with MANCHESTER to lower edge within outer Arabic minute track, with blued steel hands and canted brass bezel to circumference, the arched case with twin curved glass panels top over door with gilt-line decorated circular moulded glazed dial aperture interrupted by a small silvered galvanometer dial with single hand and 180 degree sector annotated 20-0-20 over inscription ARNOLD & LEWIS, GREENWICH, MEAN TIME fronting an electric coil supported within brass frame to lower margin, above further concave-topped rectangular glass panel enclosing decorative scroll-pierced brass brackets for the movement above elaborate parcel-gilt decorated scroll-pierced beat scale with red velvet lined panel behind, the sides with rectangular windows, on plinth base with quarter-round top moulding over gilt carved inscription ARNOLD LEWIS, WATCH & CLOCK, MANUFACTURERS to fascia and skirt base incorporating bracket feet with shaped apron between.210cm (82.5ins) high, 68.5cm (27ins) wide, 38cm (15ins) wide. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. Arnold and Lewis were makers and retailers of high quality watches, clocks and chronometers who succeeded I. Simmons at 7 St. Ann's Square Manchester in 1871 where they remained until 1905. In July 1872 they installed a shop regulator with a galvinometer connected to Greenwich at their premises (designed by Edward Salomons architect) incorporating an exterior clock dial with a Greenwich style falling ball dropping at 1pm daily. This was reported in the Manchester Guardian, and no doubt provided endless publicity for the new proprietors. The current lot would appear to be that very regulator as it is fitted with a galvanometer which would be receive an electrical impulse from Greenwich every hour causing the needle to 'flick' exactly on the hour. As the 'shop regulator' the present timepiece would have served to set and check the time of watches in the showroom as well provide accurate 'Greenwich Mean Time' to the public.

A FINE QUEEN ANNE/GEORGE I 'TORTOISESHELL' JAPANNED EIGHT-DAY QUARTER CHIMING LONGCASE CLOCKJohn Faver, London, circa 1715The substantial six pillar triple train bell striking movement with plates measuring 8.75 by 7.25 inches, anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum and chiming the quarters on a nest of six graduated bells, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and calendar aperture to the finely matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll-pierced steel hands and fine mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a convex boss signed John Faver, Gerrat Street, London within herringbone border over Strike/Silent selection switch flanked by conforming cornucopia and scroll cast mounts, the simulated tortoiseshell japanned case with gilt landscape painted domed caddy surmounted box upstand, architectural cornice and floral spray decorated upper quadrants above the glazed hood door with alternating gilt floral and trellis band decoration and applied with three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with floral trail painted throat over rectangular door decorated in raised silver highlighted gilt with a stylised oriental garden trellis landscape populated by an equestrian hunting party under a solar disc, the surround with trellis banded panels alternating with foliate trails and landscape infill, the sides with birds in flight over large leafy sprays, the plinth base decorated with floral still life within conforming trellis panel border over double skirt.257cm (101ins) high, 51cm (20ins) wide, 25.5cm (10ins) deep.  A John Faver is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London before 1759. Baillie suggests that 'Faver' maybe an anglicisation of the French name 'Fauvre' and that John Faver may well be connected to Henry Fauvre. Loomes in Volume 2 further notes a date of 1741; it is likely that John Faver had Huguenot roots and was a fine maker with two watches in the collection of the Fitzwilliam museum.  The combination of quarter chiming movement and highly decorative, finely proportioned tortoiseshell japanned case results in the present clock being a particularly impressive example which would have been the height of fashion during the second decade of the 18th century.Condition Report: Movement is complete and appears all original with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. Although the going and strike trains are operational the quarter train requires adjustment and the movement is generally in slightly dirty neglected condition hence requires a gentle clean/service before putting into service. The silvering to the chapter ring, seconds ring, calendar ring and signature boss has been cleaned-off at some point otherwise dial is in good original albeit discoloured/dirty condition and retains its original hands. The movement retains its original seatboard which rests directly onto the side uprights of the trunk (cheeks) with no evidence of alteration hence we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case. The dial however does sit a little low in the dial aperture - this is due to the seatboard sagging due to the substantial weight of the three weights.The case is generally in very good condition with no structural issues or evidence of alteration/significant replacements and would in essence appear to be very well preserved. The decoration is correctly executed using appropriate pigments and gilding and has genuine age hence may well be original; however the lack of overall fading, rubbing, wear and build up of grime on the surface gives a fairly 'fresh' appearance which would lead some to suggest that the case may well have been faithfully redecorated perhaps in the early 20th century. There is/are general losses, cracking and flaking to the finish which on the whole is fairly minor however the trunk door has some localised retouching mainly to the raised areas of gilt just above and to the right of the lenticle and also to the figures beneath. This small amount of touching in appears to have been done a while ago which would support the view that the rest of the decoration has significant age. The panel that forms the vertical face of the box upstand of the hood superstructure appears to be a replacement (the original may well have been fretwork); the quadrants flanking the arch also appear to be replacements most likely also replacing fretwork. These two areas have been decorated to match the rest of the case however on close examination the decoration differs a little in the pigments and gilding. The capitals to the rear quarter columns of the hood appear to be replacements and are not of the quality of those of the front three-quarter columns.The clock has pendulum, three brass cased weights but not case key or winder. The trunk door is currently locked.Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE II EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT AND DIALJohn Thomas, Crewkerne, circa 1730The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with star engraved subsidiary seconds dial, herringbone border decorated calendar aperture and curved plate engraved John * Thomas * Crewkerne to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markets and Arabic five minutes to the outer track, with scroll pierced steel hands and female mask and scroll pattern spandrels to angles, (no pendulum or weights).33cm (13ins) high, 15cm (6ins) deep overall. John Thomas is recorded in Moore, A.J. THE CLOCKMAKERS OF SOMERSET 1650-1900 as born in 1690 and died in 1760. Moore notes that John Thomas took in three apprentices - Thomas Flood in 1719, Samuel Loman in 1749 and Roger Cousins in 1753; and that he was also listed as a Juror in 1748. 

A GEORGE II GREEN JAPANNED EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASEUnsigned, probably London, circa 1735The five finned pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and cross-hatch border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll pierced steel hands and mask centred scroll cast spandrels to angles within herringbone engraved border continuing up over the arch incorporating rolling moonphase calibrated with the age of the moon to the circumference of the disc and with fine foliate scroll infill, the green japanned case with domed caddy upstand, complex moulded cornice and gilt leaf decorated over trellis panel bordered glazed hood door applied with fluted three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with leaf painted throat over break-arch door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with oriental figures within a stylised garden trellis landscape, the surround with gilt floral painted upper quadrants and panelled borders, the sides with large leafy sprays, the plinth base with further naturalistic landscape within conforming surround over moulded double skirt, (in neglected unrestored condition).230cm (90.5ins) high, 53.5cm (21ins) wide, 25.5cm (10ins) deep.Condition Report: Movement has survived in original condition with the only noticeable replacements being the escapewheel and pallets which are 19th century 'service' replacements. Although the movement is essentially in working condition it is somewhat dirty/neglected hence will require a gentle clean/service before putting to use. The dial is missing its shunt lever for the moon-disc hence moonphase is currently not operational. The disc itself is in sound condition but has noticeable wear to painted elements. The dial has been cleaned back hence no longer has silvering or lacquered finishes however all engraving, matting and other details are in good condition. The hands are relatively modern replacements. The movement rests on a replacement mahogany seatboard but at the correct level in the case (no visible evidence of alteration to the case trunk side uprights/cheeks) hence movement and dial may well be original to the case but due to the seatboard being a replacement no categorical assurances can be made. The case is generally complete and in original unrestored condition but is the base is loose with breaks to the plinth top mouldings and the case is generally in tired condition hence will require attention. The hood originally had fretwork panel infill to either side of the arch above the dial, these have been replaced with painted panels.

A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKUnsigned, circa 1695The five finned pillar bell inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds period pendulum, 11 inch square brass dial with ringed decoration to the subsidiary seconds dial, winding holes, and the foliate scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the rosette decorated matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to the narrow outer track, with pierced sculpted steel hands and mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles with scroll engraved infill to the margins between, in a case with moulded cornice and plain frieze to lintel over leafy trail inlaid fixed dial surround and rectangular windows to the sides of the hood, the trunk with convex walnut veneered throat moulding over 41.5 inch rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle and with three shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and scrolling foliage on an ebonised ground within a figured walnut field, the sides veneered with twin panels within crossbanded borders, the base with stepped ogee top moulding and conforming rectangular marquetry panel over later moulded ebonised skirt.208cm (82ins) high, 42cm (16.5ins) wide, 23cm (9ins) deep.Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition and appears all original with no evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial is in clean condition with only a few very light spots of discolouration to the silvering of the chapter ring; the hands appear original although both have historic repairs. The movement rests on a replacement seatboard directly onto the side uprights of the trunk (cheeks). The seatboard has been thinned at each end to align the dial down slightly in the hood aperture; the presence of this detail (and the fact that the seatboard is a replacement) means that we can offer no firm assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case although they would seem to go together extremely well.The case is generally in sound original condition. The hood was originally made to rise but has since been converted to slide forward however fortunately the front has not been adapted to incorporate an opening door. The slip that borders the rear top edge is a replacement otherwise appears all original. The front glass is lacking and the angles would have originally been fitted with twist columns together with quarter columns against bargeboards to each side at the rear. The trunk is in good condition, the door retains its original hinges but the lock is a replacement. The door has some slight shrinkage cracking to the veneers towards both the top and lower edges from where the door panel has moved slightly against the horizontal clamps applied to the upper and lower edges of the panel. This detail is typical/expected on marquetry cases and is not problematic as forms part of the overall sense of age/patina. The marquetry is in good condition although areas of green have been touched-in by hand. There is slight old worm damage to the border inlay and a small veneer patch repair to the upper edge of the surround. Both sides of the trunk are in good condition. The marquetry to the base appears original as does the structure behind. There is a slight horizontal shrinkage crack across the marquetry panel and the crossbanded border has a few small historic veneer patch repairs. The side veneers are in good condition although the right hand side shows some movement/shrinkage in the panel. The backboard and sides of the trunk do not continue all the way down into the base (as would be expected in a case of this type) but terminate around four inches short of the lower edge of the box of the base. However it would appear that the case was originally made with this detail rather than being indicative of the structure being cut/reduced at some point. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to relatively minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage, small amount of historic worm holes and other blemishes commensurate with age.Generally a good honest example that would potentially respond very well to a relatively small amount of work to the case. Clock has pendulum, two cast iron weights, case key and a crank winder. Condition Report Disclaimer
