Loomes further notes a baptism of an Edmund Bullock at nearby Wrockwardine in 1686, which most likely records the year of his birth. Of Edmunds work several turret clocks are known (including an example made for Chirk in 1712), numerous longcase clocks many of which are numbered, a sundial dated 1726 and at least one table clock. Edmund Bullock's son, Richard, was born in 1718/19 along with his twin sister, Hannah. Richard followed his father in becoming a clockmaker, although his exact dates appear to be unrecorded it can be safely assumed that he was working, probably alongside his father, by around 1740. Richard also numbered his clocks and maybe continued the series first established by his Edmund although there are no records to confirm this. The current lot is a particularly impressive example and would have been a very expensive commission most likely placed by a very wealthy local land owner. The mechanism is rare in that it has survived unaltered, which is unusual for a musical clock of this complexity. The quality of the case certainly befits that of the movement and exhibits details which may support an attribution to Gillows of Lancaster; namely the ogee-moulded frame to the hood door, fine quality carving to the pediment and sparing/restrained use of parquetry stringing. Condition Report: Movement is complete and appears all original with no visible alterations or missing items and replacement limited to some historic re-pinioning (undertaken at time of past servicing to counter wear in the relevant pinions). The hammers and bells generally sound cleanly on the bells and testing through manual operation of the mechanism suggests that the pin/hammer tail engagement is generally very good. The tune selection feature is present and functional however the return spring that holds the lateral position to the barrel is a bit weak for its purpose. Although the trains will run/operate the mechanism is generally in dirty/neglected condition so will need a gentle clean/service before putting to use.The dial is generally in good original condition albeit with some discolouration, tarnishing and wear to the finishes. All functions (calendar, strike/time selection, moonphase, tune selection and seconds) are operational. The moon disc has some slight flaking to the painted decoration otherwise is in very good original condition.The movement retains its original seatboard. The seatboard however does not stretch to the full width of the cheeks hence much of the support is reliant on blocks applied to the inside of the cheek uprights; such blocks are present but appear fairly recent. The upper surface of the cheeks however appear undisturbed. Due to the seatboard appearing a little narrow for the case we cannot offer any assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case.The case is generally in good condition with faults mainly limited to age related bumps, scuffs, wear, a few very small repairs and slight shrinkage. The finish is a little flat hence case would benefit from a good polish. The hood has carved gilded wood dial surround applied to the inside edge of the mask. This is an unusual (and visually striking) detail may not be original which adds weight to the probability that the movement and dial are not original to the case (as this detail serves to 'adjust' the dimensions of the mask to accommodate the current movement and dial). Notable other faults to the case include a length of slender dentil moulding missing from the throat to the left hand side, a vertical shrinkage crack to the left hand side of the trunk. The moulded skirt and ogee bracket feet are replacements probably dating to the early 20th century.Clock is complete with pendulum, three weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

bronze, signed and inscribed in the cast M. A. SUZOR-COTE'/ L'ESSOUCHEUR, stamped foundry mark and edition no. to foot rim ROMAN BRONZE WORK NY/ #17, bears gallery label for W. Scott & Sons to the underside, inscribed W. SCOTT & SONS/ No. O/S - 749/ PROPERTY OF SUZOR-COTÉ RCA/ "THE GRUBBER"/ PRICE $385.00(53.3cm wide, 40.6cm high)Provenance: Presented as a gift to Alfred James Towle Taylor, circa 1935-40 and by family descentNote: After studying at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Suzor-Côté returned to his native Canada and sought to capture the mesmerising mountain landscapes of his homeland. Here, he quickly gained critical acclaim as an artist, breaking away from the rigid academic tradition of studio painting, in favour of Canada's iconic and breath-taking scenery. Heavily influenced by French Impressionism, his works demonstrate a fascination with colour theory and the play of light on snowy mountain tops and icy lakes.In 1907, Suzor-Côté began to develop his talents in sculpting, and by 1919 he had excelled in the medium. His works in bronze are quite rare, as he is thought to have only produced around fifty in his career. As with his painterly approach, the influence of Impressionism remained dominant throughout his experimentation with sculpture.In L’Essoucher, idealised Classical subjects have been abandoned for character studies of rural settlers, representing the essence of country life in Canada. Here, one is immediately drawn to the figure’s body language: his back growing tired and beginning to hunch over; his hands, larger than life, grip onto his tools as his body strains with the hard manual labour he must undertake. Equally, there is a clear attempt to depart from the academic sculptures of his contemporaries, which strive for smooth perfection and beauty. In the present example, Suzor-Côté has sculpted a richly textured surface that is both evocative and captivating. The eye is carried across every fold and crevice, drawing our attention to the physicality of the labourer's task at hand. L’Essoucher typifies Suzor-Côté’s move away from idealism, towards more authentic subjects which celebrate the individual and, above all, captures the essence of rural Canadian life which he loved and cherished.Note: Founded in 1859 as a framing workshop, William Scott and Sons became an important gallery and art dealer in Montreal in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The firm imported work by British and French painters, and in 1892 became the first gallery in Canada to show work by the French Impressionists. The gallery mainly sold Barbizon School paintings but from 1901 was the dealer for M.A. Suzor-Cote as well as handling the work of Cornelius Krieghoff.
