Very much in a market fresh condition, all three finials present, but two detached, the top right hand moulding on the side is missing, the seat board has quite a bit of age, most of the painting to the phase of the moon is good, the trunk door is locked, and we do not have the key, and there is an area to the top left hand part of the door moulding which is removed and has a slight area missing from it, the case is generally good, and would benefit from a clean, with two lead weights and a pendulum.

A longcase clock, the 28 cm square brass dial signed W Barrow, London, the silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals, the matt brass centre with a calendar aperture, fitted a 30 hour movement, in an oak case, 204 cm high See illustration Condition report Report by MW Please note that Charterhouse do not guarantee the working condition of any watch or clock. The clock comes complete with pendulum and weights. The movement looks complete but no guarantee is implied or given. The case has several modifications, the seat board has been replaced, the cheeks have been modified to take the seat board. There is new wood put in on both sides, both cheek boards have new wood. The remainder of the case would appear short in length. The bottom plinth has been replaced. The trunk door has a very slight warp, and I would suggest that the movement and case are an association.

DIEGO GIACOMETTI (1902 - 1985) `Fauteil aux Pommeaux de Canne`, designed c. 1963, Bronze with black patina and tan suede seat, 32"" high x 19 ½"" wide. Provenance: A gift to David and Pamela Sylvester from Diego Giacometti, c. 1963-1965 David Sylvester (1924-2001) and Pamela Sylvester enjoyed a long relationship with the brothers Alberto and Diego Giacometti. A first trip to Paris in 1947 and curious about Alberto`s peculiar new figure sculptures, David Sylvester secured a visit to Alberto Giacometti`s studios through his friend Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler. There began a relationship which would see David Sylvester, in his role as critic, author, friend and patron, curate and review exhibitions of Alberto`s work , gathering together in the process, the bones and flesh of his acclaimed book `Looking at Giacometti`. His wife Pamela Sylvester was crucial in translating David`s interviews with Alberto and Diego Giacometti as he acknowledges in the book: `Â…my oldest debts are to Â…Pamela Sylvester, who from 1950 on shared many of my meetings with Giacometti, gave help with research and, above all, drafted translations of passages from his writings and interviews, including all of my own interviews with him`. Such was the regard that the Giacometti brothers had for David and Pamela Sylvester, that in the summer of 1960, Alberto Giacometti embarked on a portrait of David, who sat more than twenty times for the artist. Today, Diego Giacometti is considered in his own right as one of the 20th century`s most important sculptural designers. Over 50 pieces of his furniture can be found in the Picasso Museum in Paris and many more embellish the homes of American and European collectors. Until Alberto`s death in 1966, Diego had largely been in the shadow of his elder brother, as a technical assistant in the production of Alberto`s bronze sculptures and a collaborator in the design of a range of household furnishings produced for interior decorator Jean-Michel Frank in the 1930`s. In his book `Giacometti: A Biography`, James Lord describes the beginnings of an autonomous Diego: `It was in the early fifties that Diego began making the bronze furniture for which he would finally be famous. The objects made for Jean-Michel Frank had never included tables, chairs, large itemsÂ…Because Diego had little work of his own to sell, he had few clients. His friends told their friends. The first happy few advertised their satisfaction. Gradually a clientele began to grow, with the result that one day a perfect stranger in search of an authentic Diego presented himself unannouncedÂ…In the passageway he chanced upon Diego himself, who inquired his business. The stranger said, ""Are you Monsieur Giacometti?"" To which Diego replied, ""No. You will find him in the Café at the corner of rue Didot`. As a symbol of gratitude for the recognition David and Pamela Sylvester had given his work, Diego gifted this chair to the couple shortly after the design for the chair was first conceived, between 1963 and 1965. Housed at the Sylvester`s London home, the proportions of the chair and it`s unfussy yet organic lines, were enriched by the multiple Francis Bacon studies, de Koonig drawings and eclectic Primitive and Islamic work of art they amassed during their marriage.
