An early 19th century oak longcase clock by Blaylock Longtown, with 30 hour movement, with long trunk door and raised on a plinth base. Height 209 cm. CONDITION REPORT: We have the weight and pendulum. We have not had the movement running as the movement does not sit correctly on the clock cheeks. The seatboard is a later replacement and does not fit correctly. The clock and case may well be a marriage. The case itself is in generally good order with no serious issues. The doors are not warped and there are no serious areas of damage. The base plank join is visible due to shrinkage. We can see no evidence of any woodworm.

A Georgian mahogany musical longcase clock by Ferguson of Dundee, playing six tunes on nine bells, the three train movement also striking, the case with well figured trunk door flanked by canted angles and with conforming base. Height 220 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The hand to select the tunes is missing. The tunes are - Masons Song, Balance a Straw, God Save The King, A Cotillion, Lovely Nancy and Corn Rigs. We have the weights and pendulum. The movement winds on all three trains. We have had the mechanism ticking but not striking or playing the tunes. The case is in reasonably good condition with no major issues. The hood is in good order all round with only minor stress fractures to the mahogany in places. The door is not warped. The long trunk door is well figured. It is very slightly warped when closed at the top left-hand corner. The lock plate is present as is the rear of the lock (which is detached). We have no key. There is a small piece of moulding to the left of the lock escutcheon which is detached. We have the piece. The sides of the trunk are in generally good condition. The base has stress fractures to the veneers on the front panel. The bracket feet are all present and in good order. The backboard has some minor traces of what appears to be old long gone woodworm. The seat board to the movement is not original and it is possible that the cheeks on which it rests have been cut down. With the door open it is possible to read the tune plate and the mask around the dial does fit fairly well. It is when the door is closed that the tune plate is not fully visible. The seat board to the movement is not original and it is possible that the cheeks on which it rests have been cut down. With the door open it is possible to read the tune plate and the mask around the dial does fit fairly well. It is when the door is closed that the tune plate is not fully visible.

Lot 1056

A George III mahogany longcase clock by Samuel Jordan Chatham, eight day with striking movement, dial width 11 1/4", case height 198 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The case is in extremely good order with no issues. It looks to have been fairly recently clean and polished. All brasswork is present and original. The trunk door is not warped. There is a key and non-original lock. There is no evidence of any woodworm. The movement winds on both trains and seems to be ticking away and striking when advanced. The seatboard sits between the cheeks rather than on top so the case and movement may possibly be a marriage. The dial does however fit the mask correctly with no significant gaps. We have the winding key, both weights and pendulum.

A late Georgian mahogany longcase clock, with fretwork pediment arched painted dial and two train striking movement with long trunk door flanked by quarter round columns. Height including finial 230 cm. CONDITION REPORT: Whilst we have not had the movement running as we do not have a pendulum, when weight is applied to the going train it does operate. When the hands are manually advanced the strike mechanism also operates when weight is applied. The movement is however very dirty. The bell is currently detached. The face condition should be visible from our images. We have all three metal finials. The left one is detached. The fretwork has some fractures but is all present. The hood is in generally good order and the glass original and not cracked. The door is not warped. The trunk door is also not warped and closes as it should. We have the key and lock.

The main trunk door is not significantly warped and closes as it should. The sides of the trunk are in good condition. The base is all original. Again there is a stress fracture down the centre join. We can see no evidence of any woodworm.

THE CLOCKMAKERS OF BRISTOL 1650-1900 as working in Bath 1764-1773.Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition although a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised if intending to put into long-term use. The mechanism appears all original with visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is in clean condition with the plate showing light to moderate wear to the engraved decoration through previous repolishing; there are a few spots of discoloration to both the brass and the silvered finishes. The moon disc is in good condition having had some re-touching done in the past; it is connected to the movement hence is operational. The hour hand is a well-made replacement and the minute hand has been repaired. The movement retains its original seatboard which rests on the cheek uprights of the case at the correct level. This, coupled by the fact that the case is essentially a 'textbook' example of the Bristol/Bath type, would indicate that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in sound original condition. The top board to the hood has been replaced and the trunk door has a crack running from top to bottom (probably a repaired break in the panel). The trunk door retains its original hinges, the lock is a replacement. The front lower left hand corner of the plinth bas has a veneer patch repair and the sides have horizontal veneer cracks. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and other age related blemishes.Clock has pendulum, two lead weights, a case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

This would suggest that the movement and dial are probably not original to the case although they would appear to be well suited. The case is generally in sound condition. The hood appears to be free from significant faults. The trunk has some warping to the frame around the trunk door aperture otherwise is presentable albeit a bit dirty/neglected in appearance. The backboard is probably a replacement and the base has been restored/rebuilt with well-matched veneers. Overall a nice decorative example which would benefit from a clean/service and a freshening-up of the finish to the case. Clock has pendulum, case key, a pair of brass cased weights but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Charles Gretton was born in Clayplole, Lincolnshire in 1648 and by 1662 he had moved to London entering into an eight year apprenticeship under Humphrey Downing on the 30th June of that year (turned over from Lionell Wythe). Humphrey Downing died in 1666 but it is thought that Gretton continued his apprenticeship under his widow, Cordelia, gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers Company in 1672 and se-up business in Fleet Street. In 1677 Charles Gretton married Mary Phillips and established himself at the sign of the 'The Ship' in Fleet Street (either number 174 or 175 next to Fetter Lane). Gretton was appointed an Assistant of the Clockmaker's Company in 1889 and then Warden in 1697; the same year he signed the 'oath of allegiance'. In 1700 Charles Gretton served as Master as well marrying his second wife Lucy Uffman (his first wife Mary died in 1694). In 1701 he put £50 forward to the Clockmakers' Company in order to establish a trust to assist the orphans of deceased members and was nominated to serve again as Master in 1705/06. Lucy, his second wife died before 1711 as this is the year that Charles Gretton married his third wife, Dorethea Wilson shortly after which he moved to his newly acquired second premises at two Chancery Lane. At this time his premises at 'The Ship', Fleet Street was passed onto the management of his nephew, Thomas Moore who paid taxes on the building until 1723. In 1716 Charles and Dorothea moved again to Chancery Lane where they remained until Dorothea's death in 1727. By this time Charles Gretton had retired from active clockmaking and went to go and live with his daughter, Ann, in Milk Street where he remained until his death in 1731.During his carreer Charles Gretton He took on many apprentices including Henry Sully (Freed April 1705) and Joseph Antram (Freed October 1706) both of whom went on to become famous clockmakers in their own right. By the time of his death and internment at St. Dunstan's in the West Gretton had become a wealthy and highly respected figure within the City of London as well as the clockmaking community. His Will mentions no less than nine properties as well as £1,300 deposited in the Bank of England contributing the £2,600 monetary component of his legacy. Despite the best efforts of the authors to track-down known examples of his work the current lot is not recorded in CHARLES GRETTON, THROUGH THE GOLDEN AGE however the dial can be closely compared to that of clock 'LC63' illustrated on pages 214-5.Condition Report: The movement has survived in its original form with no visible alteration however the collets and pinion lengths would suggest that the trains have been re-pinioned most likely at some point during the 19th century. Although the movement will run and strike the mechanism is in dirty/neglected condition hence a clean/service is required. The dial has survived in good original condition but has lost its silvering and has deposits of metal polish throughout. The matting and engraving show very slight wear/rubbing and the spandrel castings are of good quality. The hands appear original, are well-made and are in good condition having only a small loss to the stem of the hour hand within the looped section.The movement retains what appears to be its original seatboard (albeit with old losses along the rear edge) which rests on cheek uprights of the case at the correct level with no evidence of alteration or adjustment. From this it is most likely that the movement and dial are original to the case. The hood has old replacement top board and the front frieze fret has been substituted for veneer otherwise is in good original unrestored condition with faults limited to age related bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and relatively minor historic repairs. The trunk is structurally sound however strips have been let-in to the rear edges of each side suggesting at some point the backboard has become loose where it joins the sides causing damage to occur (this may have been due to localised worm damage in the sides although non is evident). The exterior of each side has banded veneers inserted over these strips. The backboard has a vertical crack necessitating a brace to be applied across the back. The backboard panel stops short around three inches below the plinth top mouldings with the section beneath backed with an additional panel.The trunk door has been modified by lowering and reshaping the top of the panel with a break-arch; the upper section of the surrounding frame has been infilled to fill the top of the rectangular aperture. The trunk door retains its lock but the hinges are replacements. The marquetry decoration to the door are 19th century additions; the base has been partly re-veneered and has some consolidation/replacements within the structure. The skirt is a later replacement. Trunk is otherwise is in sound unrestored condition but with age related shrinkage, bumps, scuffs and a few small historic repairs.Clock has pair of most likely original brass-cased weights (although one has been sleeve-repaired), pendulum, crank winder and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE II WALNUT EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKWILLIAM CREAK, LONDON, CIRCA 1740The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with pierced steel hands and brass twin bird and urn cast spandrels to angles, the arch with circular herringbone border engraved silver signature boss inscribed William Creak, LONDON flanked by dolphin cast mounts, in a break-arch case with generous arched cavetto cornice and fretwork frieze over hinged glazed dial aperture with applied with three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with break-arch windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding over book-matched burr-veneered and herringbone banded break-arch door with complex edge mouldings, the sides with twin crossbanded panels, the plinth base with cavetto top mouldings over burr panel veneered herringbone and crossbanded fascia and a moulded skirt.229cm (90ins) high, 54cm (21.25ins) wide, 26cm (10.25ins) deep. William Creak is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as a 'fine maker' who worked in London from 1754-63. Other sources indicate that he was working from 1740-75 and his workshop was located in the Royal exchange from 1754. Creak supplied musical and automaton clocks for export to the Middle East and China and often incorporated similar complications into examples made for the domestic market.Condition Report: The movement is complete and appears fundamentally all-original with no visible alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is reasonably clean and working however a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised. The dial is also in good relatively clean unaltered condition with faults limited to some patchy discolouration to the silvering and mellowing of the finishes in general. The movement and dial retain what appears to be the original seatboard however there are packing slips (around ¾ inch thick) hence we cannot offer any assurances that the case is original to the movement and dial although they would seem to be perfectly suited.The hood is in good condition; the frets have been replaced otherwise faults are very much limited to minor historic bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age. There are two socket holes to the top suggesting that a pair of finials were fitted at some point. The trunk also is in fine condition with particularly nice figured veneers. The trunk door retains its original lock but the hinges are replacements. The front of the door has some shrinkage cracking to the veneers and there is some visible historic movement/bowing to the frame around the door (does not detract from the clock as is a evidence/result of the genuine age of the piece). The plinth has been restored with replacement veneers with the colour of the burr figured fascia panel being darker than the rest of the case; this probably be improved in the hands of a good restorer/finisher. The backboard has opening to the vertical joint between the two boards which form the panel; two horizontal batons have been applied across the back to further brace the panel.Clock is complete with two weights, pendulum, crank winder and two case keys. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN UNUSUAL GEORGE III MAHOGANY LONGCASE CLOCK OF SMALL PROPORTIONSJ. WHITHAM, SHEFFIELD, LATE 18th CENTURYThe four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 10 inch white painted Roman numeral break-arch dial signed J. Whitham, SHEFFIELD to centre, with scroll pierced steel hands and gilt-bordered polychrome rose spray painted decoration to spandrels, the arch centred with a painted roundel depicting Chronos within gilt bead surround and flanked by gilt leafy scroll decoration, the case with central concave upstand to the open swan neck pediment flanked by finial platforms and inset with gilt on black decorated verre eglomise panels, over complex moulded break-arch cornice centred with a keystone and ogee moulded glazed hinged dial aperture flanked by free-standing fluted Corinthian columns, the sides with bold baluster outline bargeboards applied to the rear edge, the tapered trunk with plain frieze over inswept throat and rectangular reeded door decorated with oval line panel to centre, the lower section swept outwards and resting on architectural mouldings onto a stepped plinth base with further moulded skirt.193cm (76 ins) high excluding finial, 48cm (19ins) wide, 25cm (9.75ins) deep. Jonathan Whitham is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Sheffield 1770-90.Condition Report: The movement is in good clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements to the mechanism itself. The frontplate is drilled with two additional dial feet holes to the upper corners, these appear to have never been used hence are most likely to surplus drillings from the time the clock was made (maker decided to use one top pillar instead of two). The dial retains old slightly crazed surface with a filled hole inline with the seconds arbor which would appear to date from the time the dial was made (ie. we believe is not indicative of alteration). The dial has a well-executed patch of restoration between the XI and XII numerals as well as some noticeable scratching just below and to the right of the centre arbor. The lower dial feet fixing points have some slight stress marks/flaking Faults to dial are otherwise limited to slight rubbing, crazing, light scratching wear and other age-related blemishes.The movement retains its original seatboard however a section is missing from the rear left hand side of the panel. The cheeks of the case are applied to the inside of the trunk - this would appear to be an original feature; the movement is currently a little wonky when in the case (leans to the right) however we are the opinion that the case is most likely original to the movement and dial.The case is generally in good original condition however the finish is somewhat uneven and dull hence would benefit from the attention of a good finisher to revive it. The central glass insert to the hood is cracked and the gilt painting is a little rubbed; the painting itself is a little naive hence may have been re-done at some point in the past. The backboard has a horizontal crack which has been stabilised by securing a thin overlain panel behind the movement and baton across the back. The cornice mouldings have been trimmed to a 45-degree angle at the rear edge to allow clock to stand across a corner. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to age related bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear.Clock is complete with two weights, pendulum, case key and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer
