A FINE GEORGE III WOODEN-DIALLED FUSEE WALL DIAL TIMEPIECE THOMPSON, WOODBRIDGE, CIRCA 1800The four pillar single fusee movement with tapered plates and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the 12 inch circular convex cream painted wooden Roman numeral dial signed THOMPSON, WOODBRIDGE to centre and with blued steel spade hands, set behind heavy hinged cast brass cavetto moulded convex-glazed bezel, within complex narrow ogee-moulded wooden surround fitted via pegs onto rear box case with door to the right hand side and pendulum access flap to the curved base; the rear of the case inscribed in ink Lord Cambridge, Bergh Apton.36cm (14.25ins) diameter, 19cm (7.5ins) deep. Provenance:The inscription to the rear of the case suggests that the present timepiece was once the property of Lord Canterbury and was probably housed in a property at Bergh Apton, Norfolk. This would seem to most likely fit the profile of Charles Manners-Sutton who was consecrated as Bishop of Norwich before serving as Lord Archbishop of Canterbury from 1805 until his death in 1828. A Philip Thompson is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Woodbridge, Suffolk in around 1815. Condition Report: Movement appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements and is in relatively clean working condition. The dial retains original old surface with overall horizontal crazing/cracking and some light flaking, as well as general build-up of grime providing a pleasing patina. The hands are undamaged and appear to have been re-blued. The bezel is in good original condition although the clasp has been adapted from a lock accessed via a key from the front to one with simple mechanism operated from key to the side of the wooden surround. The wooden surround is in good original condition but has shrunk a little causing the brass bezel not to fully close within the channel cur for it; there is a small chip to the moulding adjacent to the hinge and a small loss next to the keyhole to the left-hand side. The box case is intact and in sound original condition however the right-hand side has cracks to the panel issuing from the leading edge of the door. The door itself is lacking veneer overlap to the leading edge. The front lower right-hand joint has been re-glued hence shows visible cracking. The curved base has veneer losses and repairs to rear edge and a patch repair to the right-hand side; the flap has been re-veneered and there is general overall cracking to the curved surface. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor are related bumps, scuffs and other blemishes.Timepiece has a pendulum, a bezel key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE GEORGE III SCOTTISH CHEVRON-EDGED MAHOGANY MERCURY STICK BAROMETERJOHN RUSSELL, FALKIRK, CIRCA 1790The chevron banded case with swan neck pediment above arch-glazed door enclosing fine engraved silvered brass scale with arched banner titled BAROMETER over Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches to the right and opposing the usual weather observations to the left, the lower margin signed Rufsell, Falkirk, the trunk applied with full-height half column enclosing the tube flanked by forty-five degree angle-grain veneers and chevron angles, over a slightly domed oval cistern cover.98cm (38.5ins) high, 15cm (6ins) wide. Provenance:The Dr. Castle Collection of barometers and other weather instruments. Purchased at Bonhams, London sale of FINE CLOCKS Wednesday 7th July 2016 (lot 2) for £1,690. John Russell is recorded in Goodison, Nicholas ENGLISH BAROMETERS 1680-1860 as settling in Falkirk in 1770 where he set up shop opposite the top of Kirk Wynd. He proved to be a very talented watchmaker who was subsequently appointed maker to the Prince of Wales in 1811. In addition to making watches and barometers he advertised as being able to supply musical clocks, organs, microscopes and thermometers. Of his barometers his best known models are a type similar to the present lot, but also fitted with a hygrometer and thermometer (following the specification of Benjamin Martin's 'weather glasses'), and his landmark 'royal' barometers - which are essentially an early design of wheel barometer with subsidiary dials allowing changes in pressure to be obtained down to increments of 0.001 of an inch. John Russell died in 1817 and was succeeded by William Dobbie who was known to have produced a few barometers to Russell's designs. Condition Report: Instrument is filled with mercury but has a very small amount of air as the column will stop around 5mm short of the top of the tube when the instrument is inclined slightly. The scale is in good condition with fairly bright and relatively even colouring to the silvering. The case presents very well however the pediment has been restored and there is a small veneer patch repair to glazed aperture surround. Visible faults are otherwise visible faults are otherwise limited to a small stain to the lower part of the right hand-side and a few very minor age related bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear.Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH CONCENTRIC CALENDARUNSIGNED, PROBABLY LONDON, CIRCA 1800The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch circular convex cream painted Roman numeral dial with concentric date-of-the-month within the chapter ring and Arabic fifteen minutes beyond the outer minute track, with pierced steel hands and brass calendar pointer, the break-arch case with concave-sided upstand over cavetto moulded cornice and opening front fitted with a cast brass cavetto moulded convex glazed bezel and incorporating recessed panel infill to the arch and lower quadrant areas, flanked by brass stop-fluted canted angles and with circular panels to sides, the trunk with concave throat moulding over break-arch flame figured door edged with complex mouldings and flanked by brass stop-fluted quarter columns with brass caps and bases, on plinth base with cavetto top moulding over shaped raised panel and double skirt incorporating shaped apron flanked by bracket feet.226cm (89ins) high, 54cm (21.25ins) wide, 26cm (10.25ins) deep. Condition Report: Movement appears complete with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. Although in slightly dirty/neglected condition there is nothing to suggest that the movement would not run once a gentle clean/service has been done. The plates have evidence of previous re-bushing. The dial has been refinished but a while ago; there is some general edge wear and chipping and slight wear but otherwise is generally in good condition. The movement is fitted to an old but probably not original seatboard which rests on the side uprights of the case at the correct level with the cheeks appearing undisturbed - from this we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is generally in sound condition but requires mostly cosmetic attention. The concave pyramid upstand has opened at the joints and there is some front-to-back shrinkage to the curved top panel. The right-hand side of the hood is missing the circular panel and moulded surround (leaving a circular aperture); the left-hand side has its panel, the moulding is detached but present with the clock. The hood door has a very slight warp causing the arch section to project forwards slightly (not really noticeable when the door is closed). The finials are not original otherwise hood is in sound original condition. The trunk and base are also generally in sound original unrestored condition. The trunk door has a slight bow apparent at the lower edge, the door lock is a replacement with the tongue extended; we do not have a key to retract the tongue hence cannot currently close the door flush. The base has some shrinkage cracking to the timber, slight wear to front angles and the left-hand skirting is loose and the right-hand side lower section of skirting has been trimmed back by around 15mm to the rear edge; otherwise is in sound condition. The backboard has a vertical crack (from a butt joint between the sections becoming unstuck) applied with tape. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use. The surface is generally untouched hence uneven but appears free from awkward patch repairs etc.Clock has pendulum, pair of cast iron weights but no case key or winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE AND RARE GEORGE III INLAID MAHOGANY MERCURY WHEEL BAROMETERWHITEHURST, DERBY, CIRCA 1790The 10 inch circular silvered register calibrated in barometric inches 29-31 divided into hundredths to outer track, the centre signed Whitehurst, DERBY within inner track annotated FAIR, CHANGEABLE, RAIN, with steel hand and a pierced recording pointer set behind convex glazed cast brass cavetto moulded bezel and fitted with recording adjustment knob to right hand side, the arch-top case decorated with a with fan-inlaid roundel over recessed silvered Fahrenheit scale alcohol thermometer set within generous glazed moulded surround surmounted by fan lunette inlay, with a larger conforming lunette beneath within a geometric parquetry strung border, the rounded base with further parquetry fan lunette and strung border.101.5cm (40ins) high, 30.5cm (12ins) wide. Provenance: The Dr. Castle Collection of barometers and other weather instruments. Purchased at Christie's, London sale 500 Years: Decorative Arts, Europe 23rd September 2010 (lot 144) for £3,881.25. John Whitehurst (I) was born in Congleton, Cheshire in 1713, he was apprenticed as a clockmaker to his father (of the same name) before setting up business in Derby in 1736 - the same year he installed a turret clock to the newly completed Guildhall. He was an accomplished maker and scientist who had a particular interest in geology. He moved to London in 1780 in order to take up position at the Royal Mint as 'Stamper of the Money Weights' as well as pursue his scientific interests. He was founder member of the Lunar Society and was elected to the Royal Society in 1783. He died in 1788 leaving the Derby clockmaking business to his nephew also called John (II) who in-turn took his son of the same name (John III) into partnership in 1809. The firm traded as 'Whitehurst & Son' until 1834 when the business reverted to just 'Whitehurst' on the death of John (II). The business continued under the Whitehurst name until the death of John (III) in 1855 when it was sold to Roskell of Liverpool who subsequently wound-up operations in 1862. However, a former employee, John Smith, resurrected the business which is still trading today as 'Smith of Derby'.  John Whitehurst (I) is known for his distinctive design of angle barometer, an example of which was sold in these rooms in the THE BANFIELD COLLECTION OF BAROMETERS 4th September 2007 (lot 125) for £8,000 hammer. His son was one of the first to make wheel barometers, with his earliest models constructed with a Classical column forming the upright above the dial (see Goodison, Nicholas ENGLISH BAROMETERS 1680-1860 page 284, Plate 193). Condition Report: Barometer is generally in good original untouched condition. There is currently no siphon tube fitted (hence is not in working order) however the pulley assembly and recording pointer mechanism are present and in working order. The dial is in fine condition with slight oxidation/mellowing to the silvering only; the glass has probably been reset as the plaster which secures it to the bezel appears relatively fresh. The thermometer is in fine original working condition. The case is essentially untouched retaining fine old surface. The only notable faults are two vertical shrinkage cracks (from movement within the carcass) to each side the lower (drop) section and a small veneer patch repair to the lower edge. Otherwise faults are very much limited to minor age-related bumps, scuffs and minor shrinkage. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A REGENCY EBONY AND BRASS INLAID MAHOGANY BRACKET CLOCK WITH TRIP-HOUR REPEATDESBOIS AND WHEELER, LONDON, CIRCA 1820The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with lancet-shaped plates and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum with an effective length of 12 inches and incorporating stirrup-type regulation adjustment to the rod, the backplate signed Desbois & Wheeler, Gray's Inn Pafsage in flowing script towards the lower edge, the 6.75 inch circular convex cream painted Roman numeral dial signed DESBOIS & WHEELER, LONDON to centre, with decorative scroll pierced steel spade hands and STRIKE/SILENT selection switch at twelve o'clock within a laurel-leaf milled gilt brass surround set behind hinged convex glazed cast brass bezel, the lancet-top case with lipped cavetto cornice over ebony tracery decorated infill above the dial, down-curved reeded band to waist, and brass-rosette highlighted stylised foliate spandrel decorated ebony line-inlaid apron panel beneath, the sides with brass foliate ring handles over brass fretwork lancet-shaped frets and the rear with pointed break-arch glazed window set within the frame of the case, on canted moulded skirt base with brass inverted acorn feet.48cm (19ins) high, 25cm (9.75ins) wide, 16cm (6.25ins) deep. Daniel Desbois was apprenticed to John Johnson at Gray's Inn Passage and took over his business from circa 1790, working until 1846 and died two years later in 1848. The partnership between Daniel Desbois and Wheeler is recorded in Baillie, G.H., Clutton, C. and Ilbert, C.A. BRITTEN'S Old Clocks and Watches and their Makers as working from Gray's Inn Passage, London 1803-35. Condition Report: Movement is complete with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements but is a little dull/tarnished in appearance. The movement is in full working condition however a gentle clean service is advised before putting the clock into long-term use. The seatboard has two holes to the centre suggesting a pendulum holdfast was once fitted which is no longer present. The dial retains old surface with faults limited to wear around the winding holes, a few minor chips and some concentric wear/rubbing. Case is generally in very good original unrestored condition with faults essentially limited to minor shrinkage, bumps, scuffs, wear, a couple of small veneer patch repairs to the rear door as well as the rear door lock being loose. The silk to the side frets is degraded and the frets themselves need securing.Clock has pendulum, a case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH TEN-INCH DIALJAMES MARKWICK, LONDON, CIRCA 1695The six finned and latched pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with slender tall plates measuring 7.375 by 5 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 10 inch square gilt brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the finely matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, small Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed Jacobus Markwick, Londini to lower margin, with fine sculpted scroll-pierced steel hands and applied gilt winged cherub mask and scroll cast spandrels to angels incorporating leafy trail engraved infill to margins between, the case with ogee moulded cornice and fretwork frieze over floral marquetry trail decorated hinged glazed dial surround applied with Solomonic twist-turned three quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with convex throat moulding over 42 inch rectangular door centred with a circular brass-framed lenticle and with three shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and scrolling foliage into an ebonised ground within applied half-round crossgrain edge mouldings, the sides veneered with two line-outline panels, the base with stepped ogee top mouldings over conforming rectangular marquetry panel within crossbanded surround, on bun feet.197cm (77.5ins) high, 46cm (18ins) wide, 27cm (10.5ins) deep. James Markwick senior is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as apprenticed in 1656 to Edmund Gilpin (through Richard Taylor); he initially worked at Croydon before returning to London where he gained his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1666. In 1673 he took-over the former business of Samuel Betts at behind the Royal Exchange. Markwick had a turbulent relationship with the Clockmakers' Company - in 1676 he was fined for abuse of the Master at the Steward's feast and was often reprimanded for not attending court. James Markwick junior was born in Croydon in 1662 and was apprenticed to his father gaining his freedom (by patrimony) in 1692. He initially went into partnership with his father before gaining outright control of the business on the latter's retirement to Pevensey in Sussex in around 1700 (where he subsequently died in 1716). In around 1710-15 James Markwick junior went into partnership with Robert Markham which lasted until the former's death in 1730. The business was subsequently continued by Markham and his successors and specialised in producing clocks and watches for export to the Middle East. Condition Report: Movement is in fine clean fully working condition having been given a gentle service prior to consignment. There is no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements and there is minimal pinion wear evident. Some of the pivot holes have slight punching (historic repair to counter wear) and the top left of the backplate has two vacant threaded holes for a bracket to secure the movement into the case - the bracket is no longer present although there is a steel counterpart secured to the case backboard at the appropriate height. The bottom two pillars are very slightly bent in a downward curve from tightening the movement onto the seatboard. The front of the dial plate has been regilded however appears free form any visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements and faults limited to some oxidation spotting and light patchy discolouration to the chapter ring, and a repair to the minute ring. The movement rests on an old seatboard which sits directly on the cheek uprights of the case with no apparent evidence of alteration and in-line with a scribed-line to the case backboard. This would suggest that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in very good original condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant restoration/replacements. The hood top board may be an old replacement and the fret to the frieze is most likely a restoration, otherwise the hood appears to be in fine original condition with faults limited to historic movement and shrinkage to the cross-grain mouldings and veneers. The hood appears to have been originally made with a front door - there is no evidence to suggest that it has been converted from a rising hood with fixed front. The trunk and base are in similar condition with the backboard retaining its original height with splitting to both the upper and lower sections which may benefit from being secured. The trunk door has had fillet repair to hinge side of the panel at the rear which continues for the full height between the upper and lower 'clamps'. This in most likely to address historic worm damage to the edge of the board as evidence some of this is visible just beyond the join in places. The door veneers are in good condition having only one small loss (to the ebonised ground only) towards the lower margin at the join between the clamp and the vertical section of board forming the trunk door. There is also some small localised repairs to the marquetry along the rest of this joint and to the corresponding joint at the top of the door (but to a much lesser degree). The sides have noticeable slight bowing, a few minor veneer patch repairs to rear edge and some cracking/movement to the veneers. The case appears to retain its original structure veneers except for some replacement to the fascia crossbanding to the lower left-hand corner. The right-hand side has a horizontal crack and there are small patch repairs to the lower front corners. The carcass of the box has horizontal joins in the front and side panels about an inch up from the lower surface - however the backboard continues down past these joints and the veneers appear largely undisturbed hence we are inclined to believe that the slips forming the lower edge of the front and sides of the box carcass are an original feature. The bun feet are replacements and there is historic evidence of past minor worm infestation which has long gone. Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age, The colour is generally good but would benefit from a little attention from a furniture finisher to revive it a little.Clock is complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, two case keys and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A REGENCY BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY BRACKET CLOCK WITH UNUSUAL TRIPLE-SUBSIDIARY DIALHANDLEY AND MOORE, LONDON, CIRCA 1810The five pillar twin chain fusee trip-hour repeating movement with ogee-shouldered plates and anchor escapement regulated by engraved lenticular bob pendulum and incorporating pivoted beam rise/fall regulation to suspension, the backplate signed Handley & Moore, Clerkenwell Close, LONDON within a repeating lunette motif engraved oval border, over pendulum holdfast and with conforming engraved outer border, the 8 inch circular cream painted Roman numeral dial with triple subsidiaries for regulation, date-of-the-month and STRIKE/SILENT selection beneath signature HANDLEY & MOORE, Clerkenwell, LONDON to centre, with fine looped-lozenge pierced blued steel hands, the break-arch case with hinged brass carrying handle single brass fillet-edged raised panel to top over complex moulded cornice, the opening front applied with convex glazed ogee moulded cast brass bezel for the dial aperture over brass fish scale quadrant frets flanked by brass corner mouldings, the sides with arched brass fish scale sound frets and the rear with glazed break-arch door set within the frame of the case, on cavetto moulded skirt base with cast brass ogee bracket feet.41cm (16ins) high with handle down, 31cm (12.25ins) wide, 20cm (7.75ins) deep. George Handley and John Moore were both former apprentices of John Thwaites who formed a partnership in around 1800. The firm worked from 38 Clerkenwell Close and continued in the production of public clocks and supplying movements to other makers mostly in competition with Thwaites and Reed. George Handley retired in 1820 and died in 1824 leaving the workshops in the hands of John Moore alone. The business subsequently passed down various member of the Moore family of clockmakers, with the last, Henry James, dying aged 60 in 1899. The firm however is thought to have continued under different management into the early years of the 20th century. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism however is a little oxidised etc. so would probably benefit from a gentle clean/overhaul if intending to put into long-term service. The dial retains original painted surface with two patches of noticeable touched-in flaking (each approx. 10mm across) near the IIII numeral and to the edge at VII. There are a few smaller touched-in flakes and the surface has overall crazing. There is some surface scratching to the lower margin and general light rubbing around the winding holes and wear to the black annotations/linework. The calendar dial (top right) also has some slight scratching from the tip of the hand being rubbed against the surface whilst the date is being manually adjusted. The case is in sound condition and presents well. The top surface has some slight veneer shrinkage cracking towards the front edge as well as one small veneer patch repair; the rear edge has two filled veneer cracks behind the pad. The horizontal sections at each end of the arch have front-to-back shrinkage cracking. The rear door has a veneer patch repair to the upper right-hand corner which has some edge losses/chipping, the opposing corner also has a loss/chip to the veneer overlap. The front door is missing its lock and the escutcheon insert is loose/cracked. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to slight shrinkage and a few minor historic bumps, scuffs and other minor historic blemishes.Clock is complete with a pendulum, winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Harrison, (John L.) [Captain,18th Century] Manuscript Miscellany books of letters and poems, [London, circa 1771-75], small 4to, one volume in contemporary vellum, the other marbled paper boards and leather spine, approximately 80 text pages (not including blanks), some leaves excised (stubs remaining)Pencilled note to paste-down states “MSS book of Capt. J. L. Harrison. London”The two books show the ambitions of its author to be a wit and a poet and captures friendships built through letters and exchange of verse. Among the extracts from published works and occasional jokes, Captain Harrison of Bishop’s Hall in Bethnal Green, has copied letters sent and received, the majority of which are in verse form. Several names occur in the manuscript, but one appears multiple times, a “Mr A-m M-t”. In a prefatory note to a poem he sends to A. M., he writes: “I beg you’ll point out the faults it contains of which I’m conscious there are many and communicate them and your opinion of the whole to me” (ff. 25). Harrison records verse he receives in return, with both men using the medium of poetry to foster their friendship and affirm each other’s work. In a series of letters to and from “A M—t”, he asks his friend to help settle “A controversy [which] arose between two young lady’s and myself: I held that in the marriage state the man is the better half, they that the woman is which we left to be undecided…” A.M. does not fully agree, so Harrison replies, “I wonder sir you should give the preference to the Lady’s for I think the man is certainly the better half for he has the care of his business the getting of money to support his family and sundry other things I might mention” and marshals quotations from Virgil, Ovid, William Shenstone, Elizabeth Rowe, and John Milton. A.M. responds with allegory which tells of a man (aptly named “John”) who fails to understand the meaning of things: On discovering a leather purse he thinks: “Leather says he can serve some end / Old shoes perhaps may patch and mend […] Regardless of the luck thus gain’d / Concerned him not what it contain’d” Harrison pens a “jocular” verse regarding women (including the line “As he the Master she should Mistress be”), then after a confused defence of his position, protests that it “was A jocular Piece of raillery and as such I apprehended it would have been taken”. He concludes his apologetic letter, “This sir I hope will Atone for the misapprehensions of my former. I conclude With saying I entertain the most sincere and unfeign’st respect for them [women] and all those that defend them And remain your sincere Friend.” (ff. 17-18). On the next page we see Harrison’s “jocular” verse in action again in a rebuke to an unresponsive servant (we are given only their initials “C. B”) whose door he has been “thumping” to no avail: “But all my labour’s been in vain / And you have laid reclin’d till eight / Beneath your drowsy sluggish weight […]”. When not attempting to assert the superiority of men or berating servants, he shares an “Acrostic to Miss E.H on having the toothache”, and there are several letters and verse to his sister, which he signs “your ever loving Brother”. There are also a handful of pages detailing accounts relating to millinery.
