A George II burr walnut quarter-chiming eight-day longcase clock, Samuel Thorne, London, circa 1740, the triple train five pillar movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum chiming the quarters on a graduated nest of eight bells and sounding the hour on a further larger bell, the 12 inch gilt brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and arched nameplate engraved Samuel Thorne, London to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with pierced blued steel hands and mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath STRIKE/SILENT selection dial flanked by dolphin cast mounts to arch, the case with generous break-arch cavetto cornice with fluted canted angles flanking the glazed dial aperture and scroll-pierced and engraved brass rectangular side frets to hood, the trunk with conforming canted angles flanking a book-matched burr-veneered herringbone banded shaped-top trunk door with cavetto moulded surround over conforming plinth base with the canted angles terminating with an out-swept curve just above the moulded skirt, 232cm (91.25ins) high Samuel Thorne is recorded in Baillie, G.H. 'Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World' as apprenticed in 1722.The unusual design of the case of the current lot with its generous canted angles continuing almost for the entire height of the case, fine quality figured veneers and engraved brass sound frets to the hood is reminiscent of a small series of cases housing ogee-arched dialled movements by Daniel Delander and John Ellicott. One such example (by Delander) is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (accession number 64.101.864).Condition Report: Movement is in good clean working condition with no visible alteration or significant replacements or repairs. The dial is generally in fine condition and of very nice quality with faults limited to some patchy tarnishing to the silvering of the chapter ring. The movement sits at the correct level in the case with no apparent alterations to the seatboard or case uprights hence we are the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case.The case is generally in fine condition. The curved top panel to the top of the hood is probably a replacement and there are some small chips to edges of the cornice moulding otherwise faults to the hood and trunk are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, light shrinkage and some small historic veneer chip patch repairs. The base is in similar condition with the exception of the sides which have some more noticeable (but not problematic) horizontal veneer shrinkage cracking.Clock has three brass-cased weights, pendulum and two case keys (no winder).

A George III mahogany eight-day longcase clock, Thomas Field, Bath, circa 1770, the four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and signed Thomas Field, BATH to the foliate engraved silvered centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with pierced blued steel hands and gilt rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch flanked with a silvered boss engraved with an eagle over banner inscribed TEMPUS FUGIT flanked by dolphin case mounts, the case with swan neck pediment over dentil moulded break-arch frieze and fluted Corinthian columns flanking the dial aperture to hood, the trunk with shaped-top caddy moulded door flanked by reeded canted angles and the base with rectangular raised panel to fascia over moulded skirt incorporating bracket feet, 239cm (94ins) high Thomas Field is recorded in Moore, A.J. 'The Clockmakers of Bristol 1650-1900 as working in Bath at 2 Broad Street 1766-1812. He is also recorded by Ian White as working firstly from Broad Street then High Street from 1791/2 and Bond Street 1795-99. He also served as juror at Bath Quarter Sessions on fifteen occasions between 1786-95. Condition Report: Movement is in sound original albeit dirty condition with replacements limited to the escapewheel and pallets which appear to be 19th century (probably 'service' replacements due to wear). Dial is also dirty, discoloured and tarnished. The plate is a little bent (bows backwards at the top) and there are some light casting cracks to the surface. The seconds hand is missing and the minute hand has been repaired. The movement and dial sits on an old replacement seatboard but at the correct level in the case. The case is a perfect match for the movement and dial hence we are inclined to think that the movement, dial and case are most likely original to each other. The case is in sound original condition. The trunk door in missing its lock and there are some minor bumps, scuffs, veneer chips, light shrinkage and other faults commensurate with age. The surface is 'flat'/neglected in appearance but the colour is fairly good hence the appearance will no doubt with a good polish.Clock has pendulum, two weights and a winder but no case key.

An unusual George II green japanned eight-day longcase clock with automaton, Stephen Rimbault, London, circa 1750, the 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, calendar aperture and arched nameplate engraved Step'n Rimbault, London to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with pierced steel hands and applied twin bird and urn cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a silvered disc engraved with a disgruntled face incorporating 'rocking eye' automaton and flanked by dolphin cast mounts, in a green japanned Chinoiserie decorated case with generous cavetto cornice and scroll pierced fret over gilt floral trail painted glazed dial surround flanked by three-quarter columns and rectangular side windows to hood, the trunk with gilt eagle painted throat moulding over break-arch door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with Oriental figures within a trellis garden landscape, the surround with hatch ground borders incorporating figural medallions to upper quadrants, the sides painted with birds in flight and the base decorated to match the trunk door over moulded skirt, 229cm (90ins) high Stephen Rimbault is recorded in Baillie, G.H. 'Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World' as working 1744-88. A portrait of him by Johan Zoffany (dating to 1864) hangs in the Tate Gallery, London where he is described as a famous clock maker of Huguenot descent, particularly noted for his 'twelve-tuned Dutchmen', clocks which played twelve tunes, with moving figures in front of decorated backgrounds. He did business in Great Andrew's Street, St Giles.The 'rocking eye' automaton within the arch of the dial of the current lot is an unusual and particularly pleasing feature of the current lot as is the mellow, aged decoration to the case. Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant repairs or replacements. The dial is in fine clean condition with correct operation of the automaton. The movement and dial rest on an old, probably original, seatboard onto uprights of the case which show no obvious evidence of alteration although it would appear that new blocks have fitted to the inside of the uprights to offer additional bracing with some re-colouring with red wash to match the old internal surface. The fact that some work has been done to this area of the case means that we cannot offer categorical assurances that the movement and dial belong to the case but the movement and dial and case are perfectly suited both in age and style and the dial is a perfect fit to the mask of the case.The top board of the hood appears to be a replacement otherwise the case appears to have survived in fine original condition retaining its original finish which has now mellowed to exhibit a particularly pleasing patinated appearance (commensurate with its age) with only minimal retouchiong/conservation work having been done to preserve this appearance. The structure of the case is sound although there is some historic internal bracing to the backboard at the base. Otherwise faults are very much limited to minor historic bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear to be expected in a case of this age.Clock is complete with pendulum, two weights, winder and case key.

A George I/II green japanned eight-day longcase clock, Charles Clay, London, circa 1725-30, the five finned pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with chevron bordered calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, the angles applied with female mask and scroll cast spandrels within a herringbone engraved border, the arch applied with silvered boss inscribed Charles Clay, Inventor of the, Machine Watches, London within conforming border flanked by cast dolphin mounts, in a case with domed caddy superstructure and integral three-quarter columns to hood over rectangular trunk door and plinth base with stepped skirt, decorated with raised figural chinoiserie scenes within gilt trellis borders to front and floral trail panels to sides, 234cm (94ins) high Charles Clay was a fine and inventive clockmaker who originated from near Huddersfield and gained his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company prior to 1716. In 1723 he was appointed Clockmaker in His Majesty's Board of Works and in 1731 supplied the turret clock for the gateway at St. James's Palace. He specialised and experimented with musical mechanisms and is perhaps now best known for his organ clocks. One of which now resides at Windsor Castle which was acquired from his widow three years after Clay's death in 1743. Another incomplete organ clock was also acquired around this time for Augusta wife of Frederick, Prince of Wales, this clock was subsequently completed by George Pyke and now resides at Kensington Palace. A highly unusual ormolu timepiece (with unusual enamelled astronomical year calendar dial) made for Louis Frederick, Prince of Wales sold in these rooms 28th August 2014 (lot 118) and now resides in Victoria and albert Museum, London.Condition Report: Movement is in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant repairs/replacements however as the mechanism is a little dirty/dusty a precautionary clean and overhaul is advised. The dial is in discoloured/patinated dirty condition but appears free from alteration or any other significant faults. The movement rests on a replacement seatboard which has slim packing slips applied to the lower edges where it rests on the case uprights. The uprights also may well have been reduced slightly in height which suggests that either the movement and dial are not original to the case or seatboards of varying thickness have been fitted at various times in the past. The case is generally in sound condition; the decoration is old but most likely re-done in the early 20th century but finely executed with nice detailing. The dial mask covers the upper engraved border of the dial which would add credence to the opinion that the movement and dial may not be original to the case. The hood no longer has rear quarter columns otherwise faults very much limited to minor bump, scuffs, wear and degradation to the finish most notably to the right hand side skirting to the base which appears to have been slightly affected by damp.Clock is complete with pendulum, weights, case key and winder.

A George I walnut eight-day longcase clock, James, Leicester, London, circa 1725, the five finned 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 calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed James Leicester, ye Strand, London to lower margin, with pierced steel hands and gilt mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with subsidiary Strike/Silent dial flanked by conforming mounts, in a case with foliate fret fronted domed caddy box upstand over moulded cornice and hinged break-arch glazed dial aperture flanked by three-quarter columns and rectangular side windows with conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards to the rear, the trunk with concave throat over herringbone-bordered book-matched veneered rectangular door over conforming reduced plinth base, (generally distressed, lacking pendulum and weights), 241cm (95ins) high. James Leicester is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working from circa 1710 until 1729 when he was declared bankrupt.Condition Report: Movement appears essentially complete and in sound original condition with no obvious alterations, significant repairs or replacements although the pendulum suspension block is later and is generally in dirty/neglected condition. The dial is also in sound original albeit dirty/neglected condition, the seconds hand is missing and both the hour and minute hands have been repaired; there is also a very small chip to the lower left hand corner of the dial plate and the chapter ring is somewhat rubbed. The movement rests on an old seatboard which has packing slips applied to the underside where it rests on the case uprights (cheeks) this would indicate that the movement and dial are most likely not original to the case.The case is generally structurally sound and fundamentally original but presents in unrestored and somewhat distressed condition. The superstructure to the hood is lacking part of its front fretwork and the quadrants above the dial now have applied wooden panels where there would have been frets. The rear quarter columns are replacements and one is lacking its capital. The side apertures have been blanked-off with wooden panel inserts. The mask around the dial (behind the hood door) has additions to the veneer overlap which adds to the view that the movement and dial are probably not original to the case. Faults to hood otherwise limited to bumps, scuffs shrinkage and veneer and moulding chips. The trunk has losses to the mouldings of the front door as well as overall wear, chips and losses to the veneers. The base is basically structurally intact but has significant wear to the lower edge as well as large losses to the veneers and chips to the mouldings.Clock does not have pendulum, weights, case keys or winder.

A George III mahogany longcase clock by Joseph Gibson Ecclefechan, with brass dial and eight day striking movement with moon phase, the case with swans neck pediment, fluted columns and well figured trunk door. Height 236 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The clock is in generally extremely good condition. The case has clearly been fairly recently re-polished and is in extremely good order. The gilt terminals to the swans neck pediment and the capitals to the pillars have been re-painted. The hood is in good condition. The trunk door is not warped. The sides of the case are in good condition. The bracket feet are original. We can see no evidence of any woodworm. The movement winds on both trains and is currently ticking away. It strikes when advanced. The dial and moon phase have had some restoration and are in good condition with only minor marks and scratches as one would probably expect.
An early 18th century longcase clock with eight day striking movement by Wat Broadhurst Lichfield, the two train striking movement with subsidiary seconds dial and date aperture, face dimensions 28 cm x 28 cm, the hood with moulded cornice and the trunk door with lenticle and all raised on bun feet complete with weights and pendulum. Height 213 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The movement winds on both trains and is currently ticking away, striking and keeping good time. The case is in extremely good condition from top to bottom. The door closes as it should and is not warped. The clock has a rising hood (i.e. no door). With the hood in situ the face does seem to fit correctly. The seat board is clearly original. In our opinion the clock is not a marriage. The clock has come in for sale from an extremely good local estate along with the better pieces of oak furniture in this sale.
An oak longcase clock, with brass dial inscribed "Jonas Barber" with eight day movement. CONDITION REPORT: This clock is a marriage. The dial does not match the movement. The movement and dial do not match the case. The hood is in generally good order with no significant issues. There is a veneer nibble to the bottom left hand corner of the door. The trunk door is not warped. It locks and we have the key. The base is in generally good order. The lower moulding and bracket feet are old but later replacements. The clock winds on both trains and does strike when advanced. It appears to be ticking away. The movement is dirty. The silvering to the chapter ring is a little perished.
An early 19th century oak and mahogany crossbanded longcase clock with eight day striking movement by Caygill of Askrigg, the case with swans neck pediment above the arched glazed door and with long trunk door flanked by fretwork quarter round columns. Height 220 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The dial is inscribed Cr Caygill Askrigg. The round dowel in the arch is inscribed Henry Gilles Lodge 1771. The mask around the dial does not quite fit. The seatboard is clearly later and not quite deep enough by +/- 0.5 cm. The dial configuration is slightly odd in that there are roundels above the winding apertures indicating that the current eight day movement may not be original to the face (this is pure supposition). The movement winds on both trains. We have both weights. The movement is ticking away and advancing when striking. The pendulum does not appear to be quite the correct fit. The case is in generally good condition. The brass finial is loose as is the carved section beneath the finial. There are some nibbles to the extremities of the swans neck pediment but all dentil work is present. The hood is in generally good order, the door closes correctly. The glass is not cracked. The trunk door is not warped. The blind fretwork to the sides of the trunk door is in good order. The sides of the trunk are in good condition also. The right hand side base fretwork has one small loss. The base itself is in generally good order. The bracket feet are intact. We can see no evidence of any woodworm. Dial width 12”, dial height 17.25"
