Lot 151

A Victorian mahogany longcase regulator Signed for William Russell, Tunbridge Wells, mid 19th centuryThe eight-day four double-screwed pillar movement with thick plates measuring 8.25 by 6.75 inches enclosing wheel train with Harrisons maintaining power and deadbeat escapement incorporating jewelled pallets, regulated by mercury jar compensated seconds pendulum incorporating wide jaw suspension and hanging from an brass bracket screwed to the case backboard, the 12 inch circular silvered brass dial with subsidiary seconds over Roman numeral hour dials and signed William Ruffell, Tunbridge Wells to centre within outer Arabic minute track, with blued steel hands and canted silvered bezel to circumference, the arched case with pendulum hanging access flap to apex of the top over arch-glazed double-locked door enclosing fine foliate scroll carved and pierced apron beneath dial and silvered beat scale to the backboard, on plinth base centred with a recessed panel to front over moulded skirt, 193cm (74ins) high. William Russell of Tunbridge Wells appears not to be recorded in the usual sources listing clock and watch makers. From this it is most likely that William Russell was a jeweller and retailer of watches with the current lot being supplied by a London (Clerkenwell) maker and signed with his name as the 'shop regulator'.Condition Report: The movement appears complete and all original and is in working order although a precautionary clean and overhaul is advised. The pendulum is in good condition with faults limited to discolouration to the lacquered and polished surfaces. The dial has some surface rubbing and scuffing around the winding hole otherwise is in good original condition with minor tarnishing to the silvering in places. The brass cased weight is in good condition with only minor surface discolouration, the silvering to the beat scale is in similar condition. One of the movement securing screws to the seatboard is lacking it's large diameter washer.The case is in good original condition with faults limited to some relatively minor shrinkage and veneer cracking to the towards the rear of the right hand side of the arched-top and a very light crack to the left hand side around at dial height. The base front panel is loose but is undamaged (simply requires gluing back in place) faults to case otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs and wear commensurate with age as well as a few spots of what appear to be ink spots to the front at the case. Condition Report Disclaimer

Lot 154

A George III mahogany eight-day longcase clock with rolling moonphase incorporating tidal indicationJohn Baker, Hull, circa 1780The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arc h dial with subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and ringed winding holes to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and rococo cast spandrels to angles beneath arch with rolling moonphase signed IOHN BAKER HULL to upper margin and calibrated for age of the moon and high-water times to the circumference of the lunar disc over lunettes engraved with globe delineations flanking two adjustable blued steel pointers to centre, the case with gilt Ho-Ho bird centred oval fretwork panel to the pagoda upstand over hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by free-standing Corinthian columns, the trunk with rectangular flame-figured door with concave-cut upper angles and flanked by fluted canted angles, on figured plinth base with ogee bracket feet, 228cm (89ins) high. John Baker is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as believed working in Hull, during the late 18th century. The current lot is perhaps a little unusual in having two steel pointers within the moonphase; the first is intended for the age of the moon whilst the other can be adjusted to provide the times of high water for a given port to be read from the scale engraved to the edge of the disc. Condition Report: Movement appears to be all-original and in relatively clean working condition although a precautionary clean and overhaul is advised. The dial has some patchy discolouration to brass plate -most noticeably to the centre, otherwise is in good condition and free from alterations or noticeable faults except for a well executed patch repair to the rear of the lunar disc (probably to stabilise a casting crack).The movement rests on an old seatboard which in turn rests on uprights (cheeks) which continue down to the throat area where they terminate and are fixed with screws to the inside of the trunk sides. The fact that these 'cheek' uprights are not integral to the sides of the trunk indicate that we cannot offer any assurances that the current movement and dial are original to the case. However the mask applied to the inside of the hood appears unaltered and fits the dial perfectly which would support the possibility that all started life together. Indeed the case would seem to be a provincial interpretation of the 'London pagoda' case hence is of correct type for the movement and dial.Generally the case is in fine condition with faults limited to some shrinkage cracking to the trunk door and base fascia. For some unknown reason the backboard has been cut just above the rear of the seatboard and then re-attached via batons applied behind (probably to ease transport at some time). The colour of the door appears a little lighter than the rest of the case but this could no doubt be addressed by a good cabinet maker/surface finisher.Clock is complete with pendulum, weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Lot 156

A George III oak eight-day longcase clock with moonphaseGeorge Baddely, Newport, circa 1785The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 13 inch single sheet silvered brass break-arch Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds and calendar dials to centre and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and rococo scroll engraved decoration to spandrels beneath arch with rolling moonphase calibrated for the age of the moon and signed GEORGE BADDELY NEWPORT to the upper margin over conforming rocaille engraved lunettes, in a case with dentil moulded open-arch break-arch pediment over hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by free-standing fluted Corinthian columns and the sides with half-round Roman Doric columns applied to bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with ogee throat mounding over shaped-top caddy-moulded door flanked by Corinthian quarter-columns, on shaped raised panel fronted plinth base with canted angles and ogee bracket feet, 219cm (86ins) high. George Baddely is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Newport, Shropshire, in 1784.Condition Report: The movement appears complete and all original and is in working order although a precautionary clean and overhaul is advised. The pendulum is missing its suspension spring. The dial has overall light discoloration and tarnishing giving an overall attractive mellow hue to the finish otherwise is in good original condition. The movement rests on a replacement seatboard which in-turn sits on cheek uprights of case which shoe evidence of being restored to their current height therefore we can offer no assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case however they do appear perfectly suited to each other.The case is in good condition and of fine colour with significant faults limited to a horizontal shrinkage crack to the panel fronting the plinth and a loose rear foot; both of these could be easily rectified by a competent cabinet maker/restorer. Faults are otherwise limited to minor historic bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use which generally add to the 'character' of the object.Clock has pendulum, two weights, a case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Lot 158

A Queen Anne pine thirty-hour longcase clock with 10 inch dial James Delance, Downton, early 18th century The posted countwheel bell striking movement with thick plates and generous square section uprights enclosing anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum, 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 Jam's Delance, Downton to lower margin, with pierced steel hour hand and crested male mask centred foliate scroll cast gilt spandrels to angles, in a case with generous ogee cornice over vacant moulded-edge rectangular frieze panel and conforming fixed glazed dial aperture, the sides with further rectangular windows framing the movement, the trunk with lenticle-centred slender rectangular door over applied waist mouldings and continuing down to form the integral plinth base with moulded skirt, 205cm (81ins) high.   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. The well-made nature of the movement of the current lot extends to the use of substantial rectangular section corner uprights which appear to have been favoured by Delance as these can be seen on other clocks by him including a fine thirty-hour musical clock by him sold at Christies, King Street THE VITALE COLLECTION OF HIGHLY IMPORTANT EUROPEAN CLOCKS on Tuesday 26th November 1996 (lot 247). Condition Report: Movement appears complete and original with no obvious evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The mechanism is currently very dirty hence will require a sensitive clean and gentle overhaul before putting to use. The dial is generally somewhat dirty/neglected but appears free from significant faults and appears to retain its original hand. The movement rests via spikes onto two wooden blocks applied to the inside of the top of the trunk of the case. These blocks are most likely not original hence no assurances can be given as to whether the movement and dial started life in this case. However the case is typical of those used by Delance hence we would be inclined to believe that movement/dial and case belong together. The case appears to have previously been scumbled to resemble walnut (finish still visible on the inside of the trunk door). The hood has replacement cornice mouldings and is lacking fret and front glass, the trunk has historic (seemingly non-active) worm damage to throat mouldings otherwise is in fine condition with no significant faults other than uneven finish. Case generally is a nice 'survivor' in structurally sound condition only really requiring cosmetic attention to bring it back. Clock does not come with pendulum or weights; in other words the lot only comprises of movement with dial, hood and trunk.   Condition Report Disclaimer

Lot 159

A William III ebonised thirty-hour longcase clock with 10.25 inch dial and passing strikeJohn Michell, Chardstock, circa 1695The substantial five finned and latched pillar countwheel bell striking twin-handed movement with plates measuring 7.5 by 5 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the top of the frontplate with a second smaller bell and hammer sounding a single blow on the half hour, the 10.25 inch square brass dial with concentric ring-turned decoration to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised wheatear half hour markers, Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track and signed John Michell, Chardstock Fecit to lower margin, with pierced sculpted steel hands and winged cherub head and scroll cast spandrels to angles divided by sunflower and foliate bud engraved decoration to margins between, in a case with generous ogee cornice and tulip centred fretwork frieze over Solomonic twist turned three quarter columns flanking the fized glaxed dial aperture and rectangular side windows, the trunk with convex throat over rectangular door centred with a brass-framed lenticle and applied with twin vertical rectangular raised panels, on plinth base with cavetto top mouldings and stepped skirt, (case with restoration), 208cm (82ins) high. John Michell of Chardstock is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as believed to have been born in 1669 and married Elizabeth Markes in 1687. He worked in Chardstock from at least 1687 until his death in 1733 when he was succeeded by his son-in-law Thomas Drayton. Loomes notes a number of lantern clocks by him including an unusual hybrid example similar to those by Walter Archer. The current clock is particularly well made for a provincial thirty hour longcase with generous plates, latched pillars and passing half hour strike on a second bell. The plated construction of the movement also appears to differ from Michells other known work hence may have been a special order or perhaps designed to show-off his abilities.Condition Report: Movement is in fine original condition with no evidence of alteration or significant replacements with the only notable fault appearing to be a slight casting crack to the backplate. The vendor has maintained it in working condition whilst preserving the patina hence although the mechanism may look a little neglected the clock is in good operational condition although some historic pinion wear is evident. The dial is generally dirty/patinated with old uneven wear to the finishes but appears undamged. The hands are original.The movement rests on two blocks applied to the top surface of a replacement seatboard hence we can offer no assurances that the movement and dial started life with the case. The case is basically contemporary with the movement and dial but has undergone restoration. The restoration work has been well executed and would seem to include replacement of the cornice mouldings, probably the fret also and work to the frame of the dial aperture -possibly to correct front being cut for a hood door but there is no visible evidence present to support this view. The trunk and backboard appear sound with the latter continuing down to the floor. The exterior side panels of the plinth base appear to be restorations, the front panel may possibly have original elements which have been re-attached. The internal vertical corner strengthening batons/blocks and mouldings to the skirt are replacements. The finish exhibits a pleasing degree of wear, patination and some historic bumps, scuffs and shrinkage with restored elements carefully matched hence overall the case is in good decorative order.Clock is complete with pendulum (repaired), weight and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer
