A ladies gilt metal and enamel boudoir clock, the enamel dial with Roman numerals and floral decoration above a central panel depicting a courting couple in a naturalistic landscape framed by enamelled pillars with further figures within a gilt frame and with scrolls and shells, easel support. Height 14 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The clock dial has a very fine crack running from the bottom of the Roman numeral I to the bottom of II and terminating at the top of the Roman numeral III. This cannot be seen without using a jewellers loop, and is not visible to the naked eye. The enamel panels all appear to be in good order with no obvious faults. The pillars rotate and may need tightening up. On the left hand pillar there is a small chip on the lady's skirt running to the bottom of her foot. There are also a couple of very tiny nibbles to the top of the pillar beneath the capital. The right hand pillar appears to be almost intact however there is a very tiny circular chip/bruise just below the gentleman's right foot (approximately 5 mm away). The metalwork all appears to be in good order and the clock works.

A green patinated cast metal garden fountain, in two sections, with mythical sea creature supports. Diameter of large shell 122 cm, overall height 230 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: This fountain is likely to be between 30 & 50 years old. From a structural point of view it would appear to be in generally good condition bearing in mind that it has clearly been outside for all of its life. There is some lifting to the original finish particularly to the insides of both shells. Clearly we do not know how the fountain would be plumbed and whether or not the pipework is intact. As far as we can see there is no significant damage to any of the metalwork.
