A George III mahogany longcase clock by Robert Manley London, with eight day striking movement, long trunk door and panelled base raised on bracket feet. Height 220 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The movement winds on both trains and is currently ticking away and striking when advanced. The date wheel is present but currently detached from the movement and requires some attention. The dial has lost all of its silvering but is in generally good order. The hood door has a cracked glass. The trunk door is not warped. We have both the hood and trunk door keys and they do lock. The lock escutcheons are later. The case is in generally good condition with only minor blemishes. There is a stress fracture to the join running vertically on the bottom front panel. The plinth moulding seems to be raised on later short bracket type feet.

The external of the case appears to be in good overall condition showing no obvious sign of previous damage or repair. It should be noted however that the top of the hood has split and appears to be in rather poor condition (possibly earlier repair). The door opens and functions correctly and the hinges appear original, the glass appears to be a later replacement, likewise the finials have been reseated or replaced at an earlier date. The dial is in good condition showing no obvious sign of damage or repair. Likewise the black Roman baton numerals appear to be original and not re-painted. The side glasses to the hood appear to be later replacements. There is some evidence of repair to the main case of the clock at the hood mounting position. The mechanism appears complete and the hands sets but is should be regarded as untested. The door hinges appear original and function correctly. The pendulum is present. The plinth appears to be original and unrestored.

Provincial, mahogany or mahoganized oak, two weight, eight day time and hourly striking longcase clock, made by Charles Maxey, Wallingford, (Berkshire/Oxfordshire), England circa 1765-1770.Case: 200 cm x 50 cm x 27 cm mahogany or mahoganized oak longcase clock made in the provincial manner of the English southern countryside. The hood has a flat top, overhung ogival moulded pediment with down to a tympanum which is essentially a horizontal frieze above a multi-stepped cornice sitting over the square glazed dial door which has no evidence of ever having hood pillars and has a small rectangular stile at the rear of the outer hood. There is a large concave moulding that transitions down to the trunk section with its full length rectangular door with two exposed knuckle hinges on the right and a brass key escutcheon on the left side. The interior of the door has breadboards added to prevent warping of the door and elongated lantern hinges are noted inside the door. The front corners of the trunk are sharp with evidence of columns. An ogival shaped moulding leads down to the squarish unadorned base which sits in a broad flat base moulding, flat to the floor. . . . Dial: A square brass dial plate with applied silvered roman hour chapter ring with closed bar minute track to the outside with large Arabic numerals placed at each five minute marker (the large size Arabic numerals usually point to a date in mid to late second half of the 18th century. The dial centre is engraved with floral and foliate curling patterns along with a hanging lantern or two and many vines. There are likely matching steel diamond shaped hands dating to the 19th century and are apparent replacements for the originals. The hour hand is hidden by the auction sign. The bottom of the chapter ring is engraved “Cha†Maxey, Wallingfordâ€. The cast and applied gilt corner spandrels are of the ‘C’ scroll and foliate type and date in England to the era 1760-1785, and appear quite correct. The dial plate fits the dial matte perfectly. . . Movement: Not shown and most likely this would be a double weight driven solid brass rectilinear shaped movement with the front and rear plates connected by knopped and cuffed brass pillars (four), anchor recoil escapement, flywheel and either a rack and snail or countwheel striking system powered by the descent of two brass canister weights, most likely of eight day duration but may also be of 30 hour duration. (The movement has not been shown) There is a long pendulum rod and brass covered bob swinging inside the trunk of the casing. . . . . . Condition: I believe this is a mahogany stained oak case made in the countryside of England. The lack of hood pillars suggest that the door may have been replaced or the hood pillars simply left off the case to save on cost. Loss of finish in spots, especially at the base. Replaced set of steel hands. The fact that the weights are not link chain held I believe this to be an eight day clock where the cabinetmaker made the simplest case that he could. Remember that early on most worked as undertakers who built coffins before English longcase clocks were devised in the 1670s. Condition of the dial is very good except for the replaced hands and the dial belongs to this case c. C. 1765-1770
