There is no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements including the escapement which appears to be original. Although fully operational the movement would probably benefit from a precautionary gentle clean/service. The dial is in fine original condition with only minor spotting and mellowing to the gilding and silvered finishes; the hands appear original. The movement and dial are original to the case and rest on the original seatboard.The case is in very fine original untouched condition having overall light to moderate wear to the original lacquered surface commensurate with age and careful use. The only notable faults are limited to the rear skirting which has an old repaired break through the cavetto moulded section and the lower portion of the vertical section beneath which is heavily rubbed hence no decoration is visible. Surface generally has very nice mellow patination with age related wear most noticeably to high spots of the more major mouldings only. Case retains original locks and hinges.Clock has a case key and winder and overall is a very fine 'survivor' in lovely country house condition! Condition Report Disclaimer

A Set of Twelve George III Silver Dinner-Plates, by Paul Storr, London, 1800, each plain circular and with gadrooned rim, later engraved with three crests, engraved underneath with scratch weights, 25cm diam., 203oz 16dwt (12) The crests are those of Bartlett, Burdett and Coutts for William Lehman Ashmead Bartlett-Burdett-Coutts (1851-1921). William was born in Massachusetts but moved to England with his family following the death of his father in 1852. He studied at Keble College, Oxford and went on to work as secretary to Baroness Burdett-Coutts, the celebrated philanthropist who acquired a fortune through her grandfather Thomas Coutts, the banker, taking the names Burdett-Coutts by Royal licence. William was involved in many things during his life including the establishment of a large fishing fleet in the North Sea; acting as a special commissioner in Turkey and serving as Member of Parliament for Westminster from 1885-1918 and later for the constituency of Westminster Abbey from 1918 until his death in 1921. His close working relationship with the Baroness became a personal one when the two married in 1881. The marriage was childless and on her death in 1906 he was to inherit her wealth and carry on her philanthropic work. Other silver engraved with William's crests include a pair of salts by John Bridge, London, 1824, which descended in the family until sold by S Burdett-Coutts, Esq, of Earls Place, Mark Cross, Tunbridge Wells, Christie's, London, 9 March 1942, lot 14. It is possible that the present plates were also included in that sale. Each plate is further stamped underneath 'Wright 142 Strand'. This must relate to John Wright of the Turks (or Turk's) Hotel and Coffee House which re-opened in 1838 as announced in the London Dispatch and People's Political and Social Reformer on 17 June of that year. It was later to be re-named the Old Turks Head and finally Wright's Hotel. Sadly, the business does not seem to have been a great success as by 1847 Wright had died and the contents of the hotel were being sold at auction by Messrs Warlters, Lovejoy and Son 'under order of bankruptcy'. . Each plate fully marked underneath. The marks are generally clear. There are some surface scratches and wear as well as some minor knife marks, consistent with age and use. It is likely that original engraving has been removed from the border. The stamped 'Wright 142 Strand' has been partly erased on the plates and is only just visible on many.

AN OAK PLATE CHEST, PURPORTEDLY BELONGING TO LORD LUCAN, first half of the 20th century, with steel strapping and iron handles, bearing an engraved plate inscribed 'The Rt Honble The Earl of Lucan No. 4', with Cunard White Star labels, stickers and traces of wax seal, the baize-lined interior with an handwritten inventory on a paper label inscribed 'Bought of Mortimer and Hunt, late Storr and Mortimer, Jewellers, Goldsmiths and Silversmiths to the Queen', 60cm wide, 37cm deep, 40cm high Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan (18th September 1934 - disappeared 8th November 1974) was a British peer with a taste for power boats, Aston Martins and most famously, as his nickname 'Lucky Lucan' suggests, gambling. He became embroiled in a bitter custody battle in the early 1970s when his marriage to Veronica Duncan broke down, which had a dramatic effect on his life. On the evening of 7 November 1974, the children's nanny Sandra Rivett was beaten to death in the Lucan family home. Lady Lucan was also injured and she identified her husband as the assailant. Lucan vanished while the police began their murder investigation, and in his absence he was named as the murderer in the inquest into Rivett's death. Lucan's fate remains a source of national intrigue and there have been hundreds of reported sightings since the murder. He was declared legally dead in 1992, but the certificate only signed in 2014. Provenance: This chest was one of four which were entered for sale at Christie's some months before the murder of Sandra Rivett and Lucan's disappearance. All four were purchased from the 'Porter's Perks' system by the vendor c.1975.
