The painted dial is in nice condition, showing light wear and abrasions commensurate with age and usage, overall legible and the hands appear original.

Lot 785
A Late 18th Century Mahogany Longcase Clock by Thomas Iles of London, the 12ins arched brass dial with silvered chapter ring with Roman and Arabic numerals, recessed subsidiary seconds dial and date aperture with matted dial centre, strike/silent dial to arch, to the eight day two train movement striking on a bell, in a case with swept pagoda top and brass finials above moulded arch and turned and fluted and brass stopped columns to hood, arched trunk door with raised edge mouldings, flanked by fluted and brass stopped quarter columns, the plinth base with raised and moulded centre panel on shaped apron and bracket feet, 92ins high Note: Thomas Iles recorded working London 1778-90Condition ReportExternally the clock appears to be in good condition showing no obvious sign of previous damage or repair, however the external finishing appears to have been refreshed in recent years, the columns are correct and the brass work is correct and two brass finials are present. The hood is in good condition and the glass appears original, the hinges to the hood are original and show no obvious sign of previous repair. The dial is crisp and the Roman numerals may have been refreshed. The mechanism is clean and appears complete however the clock should be regarded as untested. The pendulum and weights are present. The door to the case is in good condition however the hinges have been adjusted and may be a later replacement but are in good keeping with the rest of the clock. The seal board of the movement appears to be original, if not it is from period timber, but in our opinion it is original and still bears a trade label. Inside the cheeks of the case there are two blocks which guide the hood into position, likewise these appear to be original as do the nails which attach them. The previous owner of the clock is known to us and it is known that the clock was sent away and subject to an expensive restoration to the movement and case so it should be considered as restored but in a very sympathetic manner.
Lot 786
A Late 17th/ Early 18th Century Walnut and Marquetry Longcase Clock, by James Clowes of London, the 10ins square brass dial with silvered chapter ring with Roman and Arabic numerals, subsidiary seconds dial and date aperture, to the eight day two train five pillar movement striking on a bell, contained in ebonised and walnut case with moulded cornice, split spiral turned columns to hood, trunk inlaid with bird and floral marquetry, on plinth base with bun feet, 77.75ins high Note: James Clowes, born 1643, died 1706, was a member of the Clockmakers Company from 1671-1705Condition ReportExternally the clock appears to be in good overall condition showing some sign of historic cracking to the veneer in general. All the veneer appears to be present and free from any obvious sign of previous damage or repair. The rising hood is in good condition as are the twisted columns and brass work. The top of the hood is showing three distinct holes for finials or a pediment, neither of which are present. Likewise the top of the hood also appears to have had a replacement wooden panel but not recently. The interior of the hood shows original patination and the three glasses appear to be original and set in the original putty. The wood supporting the mechanism of the clock appears to be a later replacement. The mechanism is clean and bright and has been restrung fairly recently. The mechanism appears to be intact and functions correctly but should be regarded as not tested. The dial itself is clean and bright and appears to have had some retouching in certain minor areas but is crisp. We believe the minute hand may be a replacement. The silver chapter ring appears to be original showing some slight discolouration and wear commensurate with age and usage. The interior of the case appears original and shows a nice patination of age. The weights appear original. The hinges are likewise original and the glass to the front of the case. The marquetry is in fine order showing no obvious sign of any missing component. The base appears to be original however it has a crack through the middle of the marquetry panel of approximately 10ins running from right to left. The feet appear to be original. We believe the case may have been subject to some historic restoration, mostly to the base at the rear. Overall an honest example that may have seen some refreshment over the years.

One of two vertical, historic splits to the back. No real evidence of woodworm, historic or otherwise. The stationery cabinet looks like it needs re-building when the lid is lifted and there may well have been a gallery around it (no longer present). The drawers all retain their original locks. The cabriole-shaped carved supports look in good order and the bun feet terminate in white china castors. Overall the piece would benefit from being professionally restored.
