A GEORGE III AND LATER EBONISED AND GILT METAL MUSICAL STRIKING AND QUARTER CHIMING BRACKET CLOCK, the bell shaped top with central flaming vase finial and four urn finials, above a pediment with fret brass and red fabric sound fret, the arched glazed door enclosing a repainted cream dial with strike/silent, chime/silent and musical dial listing 'Evening Hymn, Loves Ritonello, Rule Britannia, Swiss Boy, Huntsman Chorus, God Save the King, Tancredia', above the main dial with Roman numerals, four train mechanism, eight day movement, striking and chiming on a total of twelve bells, musical cylinder below bells, the backplate engraved 'John Williams, 55 Goodge Street, London, the arched rear door with brass and fabric sound fret, two brass side handles, the whole case on four gilt foliate scroll feet, height 73cm, with pendulum, key and bag of bits of wood and metal, with the clock carries a typed card which details 'On the front plate of the movement behind the dial plate is impressed the name of J Thwaites 35 43 337', on the top of the clock is scratched into the wood F and S with arrows  Condition Report  Three measurements of movement 1) Plate top to bottom = 25.7cm. (2 Left right = 25.7cm at widest point to 21.8cm below cylinder (3 Measurement of distance of back to front of two plates of movement = 6cm (4 Diameter of spring barrels is approximately 8cm.  We do not have a photograph of the J Thwaites stamp and numbers, only the piece of card with the typed mention of it. We believe the dial may be a replacement, but is certainly repainted and it is possible it was seen at this time. We have not dismantled the movement to see if the name exists. The clock does run but the musical mechanism needs some attention to the bells as at least one is slounding dull when struck. The strike is current one hour ahead of itself. We don't know the musical tunes but 'God Save The King' is recognisable in places and is playing this as per the tune selector.  The dial is possibly a replacement but has most certainly been repaited, areas of paint can be seen on the back of the dial. The clock runs, strikes on the quarters, but strikes an hour ahead of itself. Both the repeat pull cords operate the mechanism but both are very brittle and need replacing. The Interior of the case is not Original and much may have been replacesd during the 20th Century. The very top of the case is not original and the loose finial does not match the other four on the corners. The fabri in the sound frets is worn red velvet. The scrolled frets on the sides are a little mishapen. No woodworm damage has been spotted. Not all the parts in the bag appear to belong to the clock. We are unsure what relevance they have to this item.  There is additional information and a short video on the-saleroom.com for this lot which may be of assistance to you. The 'and later' refers to a repainted or replacement dial, changes to the innards of the case, alterations to the very top of the clock, it certainly isn't as it started, the casem and movement may have been made to fit each other. I am afraid I cannot comment on the orginality of the pendulum rise/fall mechanism as I cannot see inside the plates due to all the bells,cylinders, strikers, etc. All I can say is that the post holding the pendulum is fastened to the interior roof of the 'chimney'

Andy Warhol (Pittsburgh 1928 - New York 1987) Mao Farbsiebdruck, 91,4 x 91,4 cm, verso handsign. Andy Warhol und num. A. P. 8/50 sowie Copyright-Stempel 'Copyright © Andy Warhol 1972 printed at Styria Studio Inc.', unter Glas gerahmt. - Aus der auf 50 Exemplare beschränkten Auflage von Artist's Proofs. - Auf Anregung seines Galeristen Bruno Bischofberger begann Warhol mit einer Portraitserie berühmter Persönlichkeiten des 20. Jhs. Die Vorlage des Mao-Portraits stammt vom Titel des seinerzeit auch im Westen weitverbreiteten "Kleinen Roten Buches". Während die Serie den Autokraten einerseits zu einem Helden der auch von Warhol so sehr geprägten Popkultur erhebt führt der Künstler durch dramatische Farbkombinationen des wie geschminkt wirken Parteiführers den Pathos der maoistischen Ideologie ad absurdum. - Literatur: WVZ: Feldman-Schellmann, II, 98. - Provenienz: Seit den frühen 1980er Jahren Privatsammlung Hamburg - Maler, Graphiker, Filmemacher und Verleger, einer der bedeutendsten Vetreter der Pop Art. Seine seriellen Werke mit der Darstellung von Konsumgütern und Prominenten gehören noch immer zu den Ikonen der Gegenwart. Warhol, Andy (Pittsburgh 1928 - New York 1987) Mao Silk screen in colours, 91,4 x 91,4 cm, on the reverse autographed Andy Warhol and num. A. P. 8/50 as well as copyright stamp 'Copyright © Andy Warhol 1972 printed at Styria Studio Inc.', framed under glass. - From the edition of 50 artist's proofs. - Following a suggestion of his dealer Bruno Bischofberger Warhol began creating a series of famous personalities of the 20th century. Warhol found the model of his Mao portrait on a cover of the 'Little Red Book', at that time widespread also in the West. The series nobilitates the autocrate as a hero of pop culture, on the other hand it mocks maoist ideology by dramatic combinations of colour and showing the party leader looking as if he wore make-up. - Literature: Feldman-Schellmann, II, 98. - Provenance: Private collection Hamburg since the early 1980s - Painter, graphic artist, film-maker and editor, one of the most important exponents of pop art. His serial works depicting consumer goods and celebrities are still among the icons of contemporary art.

M. studierte an der Brüsseler Akademie und malte zunächst impressionistisch. Durch einen befreundeten Kunsthändler wurde er in die Dadaistische Bewegung eingeführt, 1927-30 hielt er sich in Paris auf und erfuhrt reiche Anregung von den französischen Surrealisten. Neben der Malerei arbeitete er als Redakteur verschiedner Zeitschriften, drehte Kurzfilme und entwarf Bronzen. In seinen Werken benutzte M. gerne wiederkehrende Objekte (den Apfel, die Pfeife, den Bowler u.a.) und verblüffte den Betrachter mit Gegensätzen und Elementen aus der Traumwelt. Letzten Endes ist sein Schaffen aber darauf gerichtet, die Wirklichkeit zu verdeutlichen. Magritte, René (Lessines 1898 - Brüssel 1967) Queen Semiramis Gelatin silver print, 30,5 x 40,5 cm, estate stamp of Georgette Magritte and stamp of Griffelkunstgesellschaft Hamburg 1984 on the reverse, unframed. - Belgian painter, one of the most important surrealist artists. M. studied at the Brussels Academy and initially paints impressionistically.

Besides his work as a painter he was as an editor of various magazines, produced short films and designed bronzes. In his works, M. likes to use recurrent objects (the apple, the pipe, the bowler, etc.) and amazes the observer with contrasts, and elements of the dream world. Ultimately, his work is focused on clarifying reality.

M. studierte an der Brüsseler Akademie und malte zunächst impressionistisch. Durch einen befreundeten Kunsthändler wurde er in die Dadaistische Bewegung eingeführt, 1927-30 hielt er sich in Paris auf und erfuhrt reiche Anregung von den französischen Surrealisten. Neben der Malerei arbeitete er als Redakteur verschiedner Zeitschriften, drehte Kurzfilme und entwarf Bronzen. In seinen Werken benutzte M. gerne wiederkehrende Objekte (den Apfel, die Pfeife, den Bowler u.a.) und verblüffte den Betrachter mit Gegensätzen und Elementen aus der Traumwelt. Letzten Endes ist sein Schaffen aber darauf gerichtet, die Wirklichkeit zu verdeutlichen.
