Registration No: CBJ 699Chassis No: 257492MOT: ExemptFirst registered in East Suffolk and seemingly still resident there until being acquired by the current registered keeper in 1972The subject of much past restoration work and nicely detailed throughoutStablemate to the Austin Seven Nippy in this sale for the past forty-nine years! Issued with the number plate ‘CBJ 699’ on 5th March 1937 by East Suffolk County Council, this delightful Austin Seven Ruby appears to have remained in the same county until 1972 when the current registered keeper bought it. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, the four-seater boasts such niceties as a sliding sunroof, rear view mirror with embedded clock, opening windscreen and logoed running boards. Having spent the past forty-nine years garaged alongside the Austin Seven Nippy in this same auction, it would seem a shame to split them up. Offered for sale with continuation green logbook and V5C Registration Document. Brainchild of Herbert Austin and Stanley Edge, the Austin Seven looked almost impossibly small when launched in 1922. Occupying the same 'footprint' as a motorcycle and sidecar combination, it nevertheless boasted all the advantages of a 'full-size' motor car. Responsible for helping motorise Britain while simultaneously sounding the cyclecar industry's death knell, the baby Austin was brilliantly yet simply engineered. Based around an 'A-frame' chassis equipped with all-round leaf-sprung suspension, four-wheel drum brakes and a spiral bevel back axle, it was powered by a sewing machine-esque 747cc sidevalve four-cylinder engine allied to three-speed (later four-speed) manual transmission. Introduced in July 1934, the Ruby Saloon was one of a series of models designed to rejuvenate the Seven. Visually distinguished by its smooth radiator cowling, hinged bonnet vents and curved back (incorporating a spare wheel cover), the newcomer combined a la mode styling with circa 50mph performance and laudable fuel economy. A strong sales success, the Ruby remained a staple part of the Seven range until production ceased in 1939.

A FRENCH PORCELAIN INSET ORMOLU MANTEL CLOCK The movement by Japy Freres, Paris, circa 1870The eight-day two train bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by anchor escapement with disc bob pendulum, the backplate stamped with JAPY FRERES ET CIE, G'DE MED. D HONNEUR roundel beneath stamped initials P. L'TRE, the upper margin with serial number 143 and the lower margin further numbered 3 3, the rectangular porcelain dial panel with centre polychrome painted with a putto over trophy emblematic of the arts within Roman numeral cartouche chapter ring incorporating turquoise 'jewels' to the gilt decorated cobalt-blue ground margins within further multi-coloured 'jewel' and gilt scroll decorated infill to the rest of the panel, the rectangular case with ormolu mounted cobalt-blue porcelain urn surmount decorated with polychrome painted figural panels within further gilt decorated borders flanked by handles cast a storks, over fluted frieze and further bird-and-flower decorated side panels flanked by projecting angles incorporating scroll-cast terms with lions paw feet, the rectangular skirt base applied with musical and martial trophies to sides and inset with a frieze painted with putti at play to apron, on fluted squab feet, with a pair of ormolu mounted porcelain urn side pieces, each of ovoid form with gilt scroll decorated domed cover over slender neck and body with female mask handles and polychrome painted with figural panel opposing a landscape to rear within elaborate gilt borders, on conforming foot with gilt metal plinth incorporating concave angles, each with underglaze blue entwined 'L' marks to inside of the lid and signed De Michet to the figural panel, (3).The clock 48cm (19ins) high, 32cm (12.5cm) wide, 20.5cm (8ins) deep; the sidepieces, 35cm (13.75ins) high.Condition Report: Movement is fully wound but is very in very dirty/neglected condition hence is not in working order. Both trains are fully wound and the escapement has motive power. The strike train appears intact but inoperative most likely due to neglect and the bell is also missing. The dial panel is in fine condition with faults limited to a few of the tiny 'jewels' missing and negligible gilt rubbing. Both side panels appear free from damage; the panels in the base have a three of the beads missing from the borders with a couple being re-applied in incorrect places (white at the angles replacing the single ruby-red ones that should be there) otherwise panels are in good condition with minimal rubbing. The lid to the urn surmount has at some-point been broken into two and glued back together; the body of the urn is missing a small handful of beads/jewels from the borders of the painted vignettes otherwise appears to be in fine condition with minimal gilt wear. The case retains original gilding to the applied cast elements with only minor rubbing/wear however the main body of the case (frame) has been cleaned back at some point and lacquered hence does not retain gilding to these srfaces (case must have been dismantled to do this). Because of this a series of small copper plugs used to fill porosity in the casting when it was made is now visible.Except for one lid being broken into three-pieces and re-glued both urn side pieces are in good condition with other faults limited to a few very small edge chips to the other lid and a couple of small chips where the base of each is joined with the underside of the body of the urn these chips are covered by gilt painting. The gilding to the porcelain of each urn has minimal wear however the metal mounts would appear to have been cleaned of most of their original gilding.Clock has a pendulum but no winding key or bell.Please ask the department for additional images Condition Report Disclaimer

Dutton, London and slightly convex white enamel Roman numeral dial incorporating Arabic five minutes to outer track and with gold beetle and poker hands, the gold inner case applied with suspension post and ring at twelve o'clock and fitted with convex glass to bezel, the conforming outer case engraved with an oval cartouche enclosing armorial of a fist grasping a crescent over initials R H, both cases marked for London 1781 maker I T P for John Terrill Pain of Fetter Lane, London.The pillar plate 3.8cm (1.5ins approx.) diameter; the outer case 5cm (2ins) diameter. Provenance: Supplied new in 1781 to R. Hibbert (believed to be Robert) thence by direct family descent to the present owner. The crest engraved to the rear of the watch is recorded in Fairbairn's Book of Crests (1905) as belonging to the Hibbert family, Chorley, Lancashire and is described 'A Dexter Cubit Arm Erect, Vested Az., Cuffed Erm., Holding In The Hand Ppr. A Crescent Arg.'. Thomas Mudge was born in Exeter, Devon in 1717 and was apprenticed to George Graham before setting himself up in business at 151 Fleet Street, London in 1748. At around the time of the death of his former Master in 1751, Mudge was joined in partnership by a fellow former apprentice of Graham, William Dutton, who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1738 and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1746.The business subsequently traded from 148 Fleet Street and Mudge, whilst in partnership with Dutton, rapidly acquired a reputation as one of England's outstanding watchmakers. In around 1755, if not earlier, Mudge invented the detached lever escapement, which he first applied to a clock, but when incorporated into a watch became the greatest single improvement ever applied to them.In 1765 Mudge published the book, Thoughts on the Means of Improving Watches, Particularly those for Use at Sea, and the following year, alongside Dutton, was elevated to Liveryman. In around 1771 Thomas Mudge retired to Plymouth in order to spend more time to pursue his development of a marine timekeeper. The first of these went on trial in 1774 where it performed superbly leading to an award of 500 guineas. Mudge went on to complete two others in 1779 in the continuing attempt to satisfy the increasingly difficult requirements set by the Board of Longitude. They were tested by the Astronomer Royal, Nevil Maskelyne, and declared as being unsatisfactory. There followed a controversy in which it was claimed that Maskelyne had not given them a fair trial. A similar controversy had arisen when John Harrison had been denied the full amount of the 1714 prize by the Board of Longitude. Eventually, in 1792, two years before his death, Mudge was awarded £2,500 by a Committee of the House of Commons who decided for Mudge and against the Board of Longitude, then headed by Sir Joseph Banks.In around 1775 Dutton took both his sons (Thomas and Matthew) into the business forming a second partnership of William Dutton and Sons however the name Mudge and Dutton was often still used (mainly for watches) up to around 1790. William Dutton died in 1794 leaving the business to be continued very much in his tradition by his sons Thomas and Matthew. The cylinder escapement was developed in around 1695 by Thomas Tompion and further refined by George Graham in 1726. This new escapement was perhaps the first developed exclusively for watch work and, as well as being a better rate keeper, the cylinder escapement also allowed movements to be made more compact (due to the escapement operating in one plane only). However, being a form of frictional rest escapement, the cylinder escapement was prone to relatively heavy rates of wear hence was less reliable than the verge (until hardened steel escape wheels and ruby cylinders were developed later in the 18th century).The present watch is remarkable in that it has survived in fine original condition having remained in the same family ownership since it was made.Condition Report: The escape wheel is a replacement (almost certainly a 'service' replacement due to wear to the teeth) otherwise movement appears to be all-original and in very fine condition with strong clean gilding with no scuffing etc around the dial and movement feet pins. The movement is in fine working condition. The dust cover is in fine original condition with negligible wear to the gilding or blued slide-latch. The dial appears to be in perfect condition except for a very slight tiny dimple to the enamel next to the XI numeral (can only be seen on very close examination under reflected light). There is no visible evidence of restoration. The inner case is free from noticeable denting or repair and the hinge and bezel are in fine condition and align perfectly. The outer case is also in very fine condition having only slight rubbing to the engraved crest. There are no visible dents or evidence of repair and the case closes perfectly with fully operational clasp.Watch is complete with a late Georgian gold winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

The scene is set within a landscape with classical buildings and a distant hill; the image picked out in gold and red lustre, the reverse decorated with scrolling foliage and a central fleur-de-lis within a border in red and gold lustre, on a small foot rim; the use of this particular scene is unusual.26.5cm diam, 3.8cm highFootnote: Note: The image is after an engraving of 1516 by Giovanni Antonio da Brescia [see figure 1] of four titled scenes from Virgil’s Aeneid.[1] This engraving,[2] in turn, is a reversed copy, on a single plate, of the two side panels of Marcantonio Raimondi’s engraving 'Quos Ego!' (after Raphael), a composition inspired by classical relief sculpture.[3] Various panels from this engraving were frequently used by maiolica decorators in Urbino and Gubbio but the use of this particular scene is unusual.This dish relates to pieces that are part of a lustred and un-lustred maiolica group linked by Mallet and Wilson to the workshop of Maestro Giorgio.[4] In particular, the dish shares similarities to one decorated with an unidentified subject and dated 1524,[5] and to another un-lustred dish now in the Museo Civico Medievale, Bologna,[6] decorated as we have here with a scene from Virgil’s Aeneid, using another panel from the Raimondi “Quos Ego!” engraving. This group of maiolica attributed to the workshop of Giorgio Andreoli is inscribed with dates between 1524 and 1527.The dating of this dish is not, however, straightforward. The lustred decoration in yellow and ruby on the reverse and its overall shape indicate that the dish is later in date and of the early 1530s.[7][1] Aeneid, Lib.1, 312[2] Hind, Early Italian Engraving, G.A. da Brescia, no35, p550a[3] Bartsch, vol XIV, p264-8, n.352, BM Reg. 1870,0625.1065[4] Summarized by Wilson 2017, p251-253[5] Wilson, 2018, Cat 174, p394[6] Ravanelli Guidotti, 1985, p138, cat 104[7] It is comparable, for example, to the reverse of a dated plate of 1534 decorated with the Birth of Aesculapius now in the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen and attributed to Francesco “Urbini”.
