An impressive George III mahogany eight-day quarter chiming Longcase clock with automata and moonphase Edward Mann, London, circa 1775 The substantial seven pillar triple train rack and bell striking movement with T-shaped plates measuring 9.25 by 11.875 inches, the going train with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum and the quarter train sounding a melodious peel on a graduated nest of eight bells with eight hammers before unlocking the hour strike on a larger separate bell at the hour, the 12 inch silvered brass Roman numeral break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial, curved pierced sector aperture for the calendar and signed Edward Mann London to centre, with pierced blued steel hands and spandrels polychrome painted with individual automata scenes of 18th century musicians incorporating actions motioned whilst the quarter chiming train is running, the arch with rolling moonphase incorporating engraved terrestrial globe lunettes to lower margin and age of the moon to the outer track of the disc beneath margin now applied with arched plate engraved with HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE, in a brass mounted mahogany case with pagoda shaped superstructure fronted by shaped grille fret over cavetto break-arch cornice incorporating foliate scroll pierced frieze fret and glazed arched dial aperture flanked by brass stop-fluted columns, the sides with rectangular grilles and quarter columns applied against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding over break-arch door flanked by brass stop-fluted quarter columns to angles, on shaped raised panel fronted plinth base with moulded skirt, the whole now with polychrome painted decoration in the Sheraton taste with musical trophy to trunk door, grisaille oval panel of a Classical female to plinth and floral trail borders throughout, (movement originally with tune selection), 245cm (86.5ins) high excluding top finial. An Edward Mann is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working before 1722. However, as the current lot can be dated to around 1775 on stylistic grounds it must have been made by maker of the same name but of the next generation. The most likely candidate is a maker who Baillie records as working in Coventry circa 1787 who could have previously worked in London.
The remnants of a rare spring verge timepiece movement and a fine pierced and engraved verge backcock apron Both unsigned, probably London, circa 1675-80 and 1690-95 respectively The movement with tall narrow bottle-shaped plates measuring 8.25 by 3.125 inches united by four finned and knopped pillars enclosing narrow fusee and stopwork only; the backcock apron pierced and engraved with symmetrical scrolling foliage, 9cm (3ins) wide, (2). The proportions and original specification of the movement in the current lot can be compared to a timepiece by Edward East illustrated in Percy G.; Drover, C.B. and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks on page 309 (Plate 441); whilst the bottle-shaped plates are reminiscent of an eight-day longcase clock movement, also by East, illustrated on page 124 (Plate 155). The pierced and engraved backcock apron can be directly compared to an example signed John Clowes, London illustrated in Early English Clocks on page 402 (Plate 571).
