A BRITISH RAIL (SOUTHERN RAILWAYS) MAHOGANY EIGHT-INCH FUSEE DIAL STATION WALL TIMEPIECEJOHN WALKER, LONDON, CIRCA 1880The four pillar single fusee movement with anchor escapement and 8 inch circular cream painted Roman numeral dial inscribed B.R. (S.R.), JOHN WALKER, 1 SOUTH MOLTON ST, LONDON to centre, with steel hands set behind hinged cast brass bezel incorporating silvered canted insert to interior, with turned wooden surround and secured with pegs to the rear box case incorporating door to right hand side and pendulum access flap to the curved underside, the backboard stamped 5317, S.W.26,5cm (10.5ins) diameter, 14cm (5.5ins) deep. The London clockmaking firm John Walker was founded by a maker of that name at 40 Princes Street, Leicester Square in 1836. After working from several addresses on Princes Street Walker relocated to 68 Cornhill in 1868 and maintained premises on the Strand 1864-75. John Walker was known as a chronometer and watch maker who was awarded prize medals in 1862 and 67; and, for a railway guard's watch, in 1875. Walker died in 1880 leaving the business in the hands of his successors who relocated to 1 South Molton Street in 1906. The firm then finally moved to 64 South Molton Street in 1981 from where they still operate mostly as a service/repair-based business. Records held at the National Railway Museum, York, confirm that the present timepiece (5317, 8 inch, J. Walker) was used at Clapham Junction in District Lounge Room No. 5 up until at least December 1962.CATALOGUE AMENDMENT 10/02/02: Records at The National Railway Museum indicate that the present timepiece was initially supplied/installed in 1883.Condition Report: Movement is in original unrestored dirty/oily condition with heavily discoloured/tarnished plates and surface rust to backcock screws, crutch and winding square. Unfortunately the pendulum is no longer present. The mechanism will just about run when wound. The dial retains old surface but with overall wear, flaking and discolouration resulting in a pleasing 'patinated' appearance. The hands are in good original condition. The cast brass bezel is in good condition retaining its original hinge and clasp undisturbed. The wooden surround is free of problematic cracks or shrinkage but has historic bruising and wear adding to the clock's patinated appearance. The box case has a historic veneer patch repair funning top to bottom adjacent to the rear edge of the left hand side and the overlap to the leading edge of the side door has been repaired at some point in the past. The backboard has some historic shrinkage cracking and chips/losses along the cracks but is in sound/solid condition, the case otherwise is in fine original unrestored condition with original lock to the base flap. The pegs retaining the dial/movement are old but mismatched.Timepiece has a case key but no pendulum or winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Lot 228

A RARE GEORGE II PROVINCIAL MAHOGANY TABLE CLOCKJONATHAN SMALLWOOD, LICHFIELD, CIRCA 1735The five finned pillar twin fusee bell striking movement now with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum incorporating rise/fall regulation to suspension and with arched apertures to the lower edge of both of the movement plates, the 7 inch brass break-arch dial with finely matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed Jn'o Smallwood, Lichfield to lower margin, with pierced steel hands and Indian mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with subsidiary rise/fall regulation dial flanked by conforming mounts, the case with hinged brass carrying handle to the inverted bell-top superstructure over cavetto and ogee top mouldings and scroll pierced blind frets to the upper quadrants of the glazed front door, the sides with fillet-edged break-arch windows beneath further glazed infill panels, the rear with plain panel door set within the frame of the case, on shallow cavetto skirt base with squat block feet; with a later wall mahogany wall bracket with single scroll-outline support.The clock 42cm (16.5ins) with handle down, 25cm (10ins) wide, 16.6cm (6.5ins) deep. Jonathan Smallwood is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers of the World as working in Lichfield circa 1730 with a sale of his stock taking place in 1741. A walnut table timepiece by him is illustrated in Cescinsky, Herbert and Webster, Malcolm R. ENGLISH DOMESTIC CLOCKS on page 289 (figure 317).Condition Report: As catalogued the movement has been converted from verge escapement to anchor escapement however as this has not involved any cutting-out to the plates or case (except for a small 'scoop' to the lower rail beneath the rear door) restoring the clock back to its original form should be straightforward and would leave little evidence. Movement otherwise is in good original condition with the strike train appearing entirely original. Although the mechanism is in relatively clean working condition a precautionary clean/service is advised before putting into long term use. The dial has a series of unused holes in the plate behind the chapter ring at XII, III, VI and IX. These holes appear to be 'cast' apertures that have not been finished/reamed to take any fitting hence are not in any way considered evidence of alteration to the dial. The dial also has practice engraving if a bird to the rear of the plate towards the centre. The chapter ring has lost its silvering but the engraving is still strong and finely executed. The hour hand appears to be a replacement and both hands have been repaired. Dial otherwise is in good original condition but is somewhat dirty/discoloured. The case is generally in good original unrestored condition with significant faults limited to a historic bump to the left hand front corner of the upper mouldings which has resulted in chipping/losses to both the front and side sections of mouldings at that point. The mask around the dial (behind the front door) has a small loss to the veneer overlap to lower right hand side of the arch and the rear door has wear/losses to the slender overlap moulding to the left hand vertical edge. The right hand side has a small filled hole near the front edge (probably from an earlier door clasp which has been removed). All feet are missing their moulded faces and the base board is warped and split due to overtightening of the movement securing bolts. Case has very good untouched patinated finish.Clock has a pendulum and a case key but no winder. The bracket is structurally sound but otherwise is in poor condition having patch repairs to the vertical faces of the table and overall wear/chipping etc. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A WILLIAM III EBONY TABLE CLOCK THE MOVEMENT SIGNED FOR JOSHUA WILSON, LONDON, CIRCA 1700 AND LATERThe six finned pillar twin fusee bell-striking movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum incorporating scroll engraved apron to the backcock the herringbone-bordered backplate finely engraved with a central cartouche enclosing signature Joshua Wilson, London within symmetrical foliate strapwork issuing from a grotesque and pair of lions masks just beneath the backcock apron, now with 7 by 8 inch rectangular brass dial plate with winding holes to the matted centre, within original applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and applied cast gilt winged cherub mask spandrels to angles within herringbone engraved outer border incorporating foliate scroll infill to upper and lower margins and bearing engraved text Joshua Wilson, London between the lower spandrels, in a case with Quatre type double-scroll hinged brass carrying handle to the domed caddy superstructure over complex top mouldings and rectangular glazed front door incorporating scroll pierced brass to a lozenge-shaped aperture to the upper rail, the sides with rectangular windows beneath conforming frets and the rear with glazed door set within the frame of the case, on ogee moulded shallow skirt base with brass disc feet, (dial plate replaced, quarter repeat-work removed).39cm (15.5ins) high with handle down, 26cm (10.25ins) wide, 16.5cm (16.25ins) deep. Joshua Wilson is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born circa 1675 and apprenticed to William Fuller in 1688 but not Freed. It would appear that he was a Quaker hence did not sign the Clockmaker's oath of allegiance in 1697. After 1699 he carried on trade with the widow of Francis Stamper, paid quarterage until 1702, and is believed to have died in 1714.The engraved decoration to the backplate of the current lot can be closely compared to that on a clock by Francis Asselin illustrated in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 on page 265 (Figure 15.5). From this it would be reasonable to suggest that both the Asselin backplate and that of the current lot were engraved by the same hand; most likely a French Huguenot immigrant craftsman.Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition however was originally made with quarter-repeat work which has now been removed. The strike train is intact and appears all-original. The going train exhibits no obvious evidence of ever being converted to anchor escapement however the current escapement (including potances and backcock ) appear to have been renewed. As catalogued the dial plate has been replaced, the dial otherwise is in presentable condition with minor discolouration to the silvering of the chapter ring. The hands are probably replacements and the hour hand has a repair to its tip.The case is generally in sound condition with some historic veneer patch repairs most noticeable to the upper corners of the front door. The top surface has four filled holes from where finials were previously fitted, all the hinged have been replaced and the rear dock lock is non-original. The veneer overlap to the mask around the dial has several patch repairs and the base panel of the case has been replaced (well-executed) confirming that the movement and dial are probably not original to the case (hence why it has a replacement dial plate). Faults to the case are otherwise limited to relatively minor age-related bumps, scuffs and shrinkage.Clock has a case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Lot 246

A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKJOHN EBSWORTH, LONDON, CIRCA 1695The five finned and pillar movement with tall plates measuring approximately 7.5 by 5 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike train with external countwheel striking on a domed bell mounted above the plates, 11 inch square brass dial with ringed, winding holes, foliate scroll border engraved calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the narrow minute track, with pierced steel hands, winged cherub mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles and signed John Ebsworth Londini fecit to lower margin, in a case with moulded cornice and frieze inlaid with floral trails into an ebonised ground to lintel over conforming marquetry decorated hinged glazed dial surround and rectangular windows to the sides of the hood, the trunk with convex walnut veneered throat moulding over 40.5 inch rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle and with three shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and scrolling foliage into an ebonised ground within a oyster veneered walnut field, with ebonised half-round edge mouldings, the sides veneered with twin panels within crossbanded borders, the base with stepped ogee top moulding and conforming rectangular marquetry panel over bun feet, (hood with alterations).199cm (78.25ins) high, 45cm (17.75ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) deep.  John Ebsworth is recorded in Loomes, Brian, LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers as apprenticed in 1657 to Richard Ames and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1665. He is believed to have succeeded Thomas Knifton at the Cross Keys in Lothbury but later worked at 'New Cheap Side'. He served as Assistant to the court of the Clockmakers' Company in 1682, Warden in 1694 and was appointed Master in 1697. Ebsworth died in 1699 appointing Edward Stanton to oversee his Will.Condition Report: The movement in in relatively clean working condition and survives in its original configuration with no evidence of alteration however has historic service replacements. The second wheel of the going train has been re-pinioned and the escapement (wheel and pallets) appear to be 19th century replacements. The upper two wheels and the fly of the strike train have been re-pinioned. The pivots exhibit evidence of past rebushing. The hammer bell is large and the stand is stout hence the large bell could well be original. The dial is in good clean condition with fine mating and minimal wear. The silvering to the chapter ring has some slight spotting and wear, the hands are probably original and are presently blued; the spandrels are of good quality and most likely original.The movement retains its original seatboard which rests directly on the cheek uprights of the case with corresponding fixing holes to each which suggests that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The hood was originally rising but has now slides forward and has been cut for a door at the front. Whilst doing this a dial mask was set behind the door which resulted in the the frame of the dial aperture being set further forward. A vertical strip of veneer was then applied to the front edge of each side to conceal the mask/packing with the strip then continued to form decorative upper and lower margins to the side panels. To remove this modification the mask would need to be removed and the dial aperture frame set back to its original position, and the sides then re-veneered to remove the upper and lower bands. Hood columns could then be fitted. Although this sounds fairly involved such work is essentially cosmetic and will serve to restore the clock back to its original appearance. The top board is probably an older replacement.The trunk is in fine condition with only light shrinkage cracking to the veneers and no apparent touching-in or filling to the decoration. The surface has been cleaned back and French polished at some point hence would benefit from the attention of a good furniture finish restorer (if required). The sides of the trunk are in good clean condition.The base appears original with the left hand side continuing all the way down to the lower edge of the box and the right hand side stopping around 1 inch short. The backboard continues to around half-way down the box but there is no indication to suggest that it has been cropped short at a later date (ie. Case appears to have been made like that!). The inside of the lower edge of the base has some strengthening batons applied and the feet are replacements. The marquetry panel to the front of the base appears original and has some historic lifting/splitting; at some point it has been given a heavy 'glaze' which is now starting to break-down and the crossbanded borders have some historic patch repairs. The sides of the base have historic shrinkage cracking and a triangular patch repair to the front upper corner of the right-hand side. Faults to case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage, wear and a few minor repairs commensurate with age.Clock is complete with pendulum, pair of brass-cased weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE AND RARE QUEEN ANNE JAPANNED THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASECLOCKJOSEPH KNIBB, HANSLOPE, CIRCA 1705The single-handed posted countwheel bell striking movement with steel square section corner uprights and resting on threaded extensions passing through the underside of the baseplate, the going train with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike train sounding on a large bell mounted above, the 10 inch square gilt brass dial with fine pierced iron hand to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and signed Joseph Knibb, at Hanslop to lower margin, the spandrel areas engraved with large stylised leafy motifs within scribed line border, in a japanned pine case with spoon locking mechanism to the rising hood incorporating substantial ogee moulded cornice delicately painted with gilt floral motifs on a chocolate ground over conforming recessed panel fronted frieze and fixed glazed dial aperture applied with turned three-quarter columns decorated with leafy trails, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with gilt trellis painted convex throat moulding and 44 inch rectangular door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with figures within an oriental garden landscape, the surround incorporating gilt hatched panels, the sides with stylised foliate trails within shaped scribed line borders, the ogee moulded base with conforming raised decoration to front and bun feet.209cm (82.25ins) high, 44.5cm (17.5ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep. Joseph Knibb was born the fifth son of Thomas Knibb of Claydon, Oxfordshire in 1640. He is generally thought to have been apprenticed in around 1655 to his cousin Samuel Knibb in Newport Pagnell, before moving to Oxford circa 1662 (the same year that Samuel moved to London). Joseph initially struggled to trade in Oxford due to restrictions placed by the City authorities which were only relaxed on payment of a fine in 1668. It was about at this time that Joseph Knibb would have issued his copper trade tokens (an example of which was sold in these rooms 10th February 2009, lot 104 for £1,600 hammer) as well looking to undertake work to convert the turret clocks of St. Mary the Virgin and Wadham College to anchor escapement with long pendulum.In 1670 Joseph moved to London handing over the Oxford business to his younger brother; the reason for this move was probably to administer the estate of Samuel who is thought to have died by the summer of 1671. Joseph Knibb presumably took on Samuel's former workshop as by 1675 he was recorded as working from 'The Dyal' near Sargeants Inn in Fleet Street. By 1693 he had moved to 'The Clock Dyal' Suffolk Street, near Charing Cross. As Joseph became established in London his work became more individual/distinctive, often demonstrating an inventive and refined approach both in the detailing and specification of the movements and choice of case design. He is perhaps best known for his experimentation with alternative striking such as Dutch, Roman and double-six grande sonnerie as well as long duration clocks.In 1697 Joseph Knibb sold up the London business (presumably to Samual Aldworth, former apprentice of John Knibb of Oxford) and retired to his property at Green End, Hanslope, Buckinghamshire where he died in December 1711. Clocks made by Joseph Knibb during his 'retirement' years in Hanslope, Buckinghamshire are particularly rare; indeed only one example, a walnut eight-day longcase clock, is illustrated in Lee, Ronald A. The Knibb Family * Clockmakers on page 39 (plate 38). Another walnut longcase was sold at Christies, King Street, London on Wednesday 18th December 1974 (lot 193) for 6,300 guineas and a third (in a marquetry case) was offered by Sotheby's, London on Thursday 18th February 1982. All of these three examples appear to have been made with features typical of the Knibb workshops which would perhaps suggest that they may well have been supplied by John Knibb in Oxford for his older brother to sell on as his own. This scenario would certainly be the most logical bearing in mind the fact that Joseph sold his workshop to Samuel Aldworth on his retirement in 1697.The current lot differs from these other three examples in that it is a modest thirty-hour clock with a posted movement - rare for the Knibb family. The wheelwork is typically delicately made and appears to have survived in remarkably original condition. The dial is well proportioned with simple but elegant motifs to the spandrel areas and the hand is particularly fine - typical of Joseph's high quality approach.The case is also a particularly rare relatively early japanned example which demonstrates similarities with that housing a movement and dial by Tompion illustrated in Roberts, Tom THE LONGCASE CLOCK on page 119 (Figure 6/1) albeit with variances in proportions and detail which reflect its provincial roots. Condition Report: Movement has survived in fine original condition with no visible evidence or alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism retains old surface and exhibits slight wear to pinions but is essentially in good working condition. We would advise a very gentle was and careful re-lubrication if intending to put into service. The dial is in good condition, the plate may have been regilded at some point on the past and now exhibits some patchy discolouration. The chapter ring has some mellowing/tarnishing otherwise is in good original condition. The hand appears original and in nicely sculpted in the Knibb manner. The movement rests on blocks applied to a seatboard set on top of the trunk at the level of the throat mouldings. Although this detail is correct and the seatboard/blocks appear old we are inclined to suggest that they are replacements hence can offer no categorical assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case.The hood is in fine original condition however the frame around the dial aperture has been restored suggesting that the hood may at some point have been adapted to incorporate an opening front door. This restoration has been executed very well and is only detectable on close examination of the inside of the structure. The right-hand side glass is cracked. The trunk is also in good original condition however the lock is incomplete. The raised work to the front shows evidence of peeling/lifting (mainly to the figures on the front door) with consolidation/patching and repair evident. The base is a restoration with well-matched decoration and faults limited to a horizontal crack across the front. The backboard is generally in good solid condition but has a join at the level commensurate with the top of the box base, some small patch repairs and other age related faults. One of the later bun feet is missing.Clock has a pendulum (old but probably not original to the clock) and a weight.Condition Report Disclaimer
