Footnotes:Provenance:The estate of John Graveson, (1946-2021), son of Professor Ronald H Graveson, CBE (1911-1991). Professor Graveson was one of the most highly respected collectors of Fine English clocks in the 1960s and 70s. Purchased from one of the great post-war clock dealers, Charles Thornton in 1961. Literature:Dawson, G.P., Drover, C.B., Parkes, D.W. (1982) Early English Clocks. Woodbridge: ACC, plate 156.Original paperwork from Thornton relating to the 20th century history of the clock are included with this lot. The first, dated 25th November 1960, reads:'Nice to hear from you again & do admit to a mistake when I wrote to you. I had the figure of £1250 on my mind, which I had refused to take for the East, as it would have left the country. The price I quoted to you was £1200 & of course I will stand up to this if you are interested. Please don't hold me to this price after the year end for quite frankly I shall be asking much more; for this is an even rarer clock that I think you realize....' Another dated 16th January 1961 states:'Thank you very much for your letter & enclosed cheque for the Edward East for which I have pleasure in sending receipt. You have bought yourself a very rare & fine clock. Now you have bought it & the deal is settled I can tell you that some weeks ago the trade in USA offered me £1250 cash for same - this I refused and since then they increased their offer which I also declined. I was determined that I was going to sell it to stay in this country that is why it gives me great pleasure to sell to you at less money. I am not saying that I would have done this thirty five or forty years ago when I was hard up and struggling along but thank goodness it came in to my possession when it did so that I was able to do this. This clock was on show at the South Kensington Science Museum for over six months as the only example of Edward East with bob pendulum & bolt & shutter that was known...'The receipt dated 16th January 1961 describes the clock as follows:'To Fine small long case clock by Edward East in ebonised case, eight day movement with strike, bolt & shutter, date aperture, bob pendulum, original hands, movement original and shown & (sic) the South Kensington Science Museum, slight restoration to ebonised case.........£1200. ' It is now thought that the case rather than being 'slightly restored' was made to order, probably in the 1920s from the great case maker Percy Dawson. It is a testament to Dawson's skill and sensitivity as a case maker that the clock has been described as completely original by others since then. Dawson later went on to co-author the standard work on early English clocks, and illustrated this movement in 'Early English Clocks', plate 156.
