Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London circa 1710. Condition Report: Condition overview.Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration; a gentle service is probably advisable if intending to put into long-term service. The dial is clean condition with minimal oxidation to the silvering only. The seatboard appears original but has small slips applied to the underside at each end hence we can offer no assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is in good original condition. There is no back panel to the hood superstructure (may have probably been just backed with paper/card). The fretwork to the frieze of the hood is not original and the hood columns have evidence of larger capitals being fitted in the past. Case is generally very original and in good presentable condition with faults limited to minor shrinkage, bumps, scuffs, and other age-related blemishes.Clock has two weights, pendulum, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Bell, Winchester, 26th October 1965 for £150. A William Croft is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London 1805-08.  An almost identical movement to that of the present lot, but signed for Neilson, Temple Bar, London, is illustrated in Roberts, Derek ENGLISH PRECISION PENDULUM CLOCKS on page 248 (Figure 22-24). Roberts notes that it was the only movement that he'd seen which could be dismantled without any tools by simply unscrewing the finely finished extended brass bolts which hold it together. He also notes that Two makers with the surname Neilson are recorded, Alexander and Thomas, who were both working in around 1860-80.  

A GEORGE IV FIGURED MAHOGANY 'NORWICH-TYPE' TAVERN WALL CLOCKUNSIGNED, CIRCA 1825The four pillar weight-driven bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 15 inch cream painted Roman numeral dial with pierced steel hands set behind hinged glazed ogee moulded bezel, the drop-trunk case with side doors behind the dial and cavetto throat moulding, over plain frieze and rectangular caddy moulded door fronted with flame-figured veneer and flanked by reeded angles over applied lozenge motifs, the quarter-round base applied with reeded mouldings forming a rectangular panel.119cm (47ins) high, 47cm (18.5ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep. Condition Report: Movement appears complete and original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The movement is relatively clean and there is no reason to suggest that it will not run and strike however we have not been able to test it hence no assurances can be given and would suggest that a gentle clean/service is probably required. The dial is in good original unrestored condition with traces of a signature to the centre and possibly some historic 'strengthening' to the numerals; the surface has some minor scuffs and other marks as well as overall light crazing. The hands are a little bent. The movement rests on what appears to be a replacement seatboard - with this in mind we cannot make any firm assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case however the compatibility, fit etc. would suggest that the movement and case did start out life together. The case is generally intact but in tired condition. The backboard has a loose section and the bezel hinge is somewhat slack. The bezel mouldings are made from crossgrain segments - some are a little loose and there are some small historic repairs. The sides are generally in sound condition although the right=hand side is missing a slip of reeded mounding to the lower edge of the throat. The front has two small veneer losses beneath the dial and the left-hand upper corner of the throat mounding has a loss to the tip. The trunk door has shrinkage cracking down the centre and the curved underside has lifting, cracking filling and losses to the veneers hance will require attention form a cabinet maker. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to historic bumps, scugs, shrinkage and wear.Clock has pendulum, two weights but no winder or case key (trunk door is locked). Condition Report Disclaimer

NEILL, BELFAST, CIRCA 1893The substantial four pillar triple chain fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum with pivoted rise/fall beam regulation to suspension, chiming a choice of two tunes for the quarters either on a graduated nest of eight bells or four gongs and sounding the hour on a further larger coiled gong, the 8 inch arched gilt brass dial with matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised trident half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed SHARMAN D. NEILL, BELFAST to lower margin, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and applied gilt scroll cast spandrels to angles, the arch with central FAST/SLOW subsidiary regulation dial flanked by further CHIME/SILENT and CHIME ON EIGHT BELLS/WESTMINSTER selection dials set within conforming mounts, the shallow break-arch top case with stepped surmount and stylised urn flanked by foliate scroll inlay to tympanum over silvered brass angled fillet inset dial aperture to the arch-glazed front door with line inlaid border and further foliate scroll infill to upper angles flanked by recesses to take columns at the angles, the sides with arched cherub mask and sunburst centred cast scroll-pierced sound frets, and the rear with rectangular brass grille inset door, the inverted breakfront base with fluted vertical band infill over cushion moulded skirt inlaid with a stylised foliate motif flanked by lines to front, on gilt brass lobed bun feet; the pedestal with complex double ogee edge mouldings to top over cavetto throat and rosette-centred fluted frieze, the trunk with raised demi-lune panel applied with engraved brass presentation plaque Presented to, Robert Garrett Campbell, AND, Alicia Anna Ferguson, ON THE OCCASION OF THEIR MARRIAGE, BY THE EMPLOYE'S OF, Mess'rs Henry Campbell & Co., Mossley, Belfast, DEC'R 1893, over further rectangular panel and fluted apron frieze, the plinth base with stepped ogee top mouldings and conforming ogee capped skirt.The clock 68.5cm (27ins) high, 45cm (17.75ins) wide, 30cm (11.75ins) deep; the clock on pedestal 204cm (80.25ins) high overall. Provenance:Consigned by a direct descendant of Robert Garrett Campbell. Henry Campbell and Company were a firm of flax and tow spinners who bought Mossley Mill, Co. Antrim in 1859 (built in 1839). On his retirement Henry Campbell built a mansion, 'Lorne', at Craigavad, Co. Down. A benefactor during his life to the Belfast Royal Hospital and the Presbyterian Orphanage Society, he bequeathed approximately £200,000 for the founding of a hospital bearing his name, or a college (or both) in or near Belfast, which would provide a 'superior liberal protestant education'. Although a presbyterian, he chose trustees from differing protestant churches to administer his will, which led to the opening (3 September 1894) of Campbell College at Belmont, Belfast.  A clockmaker with the name Sharman D. Neill does not appear to be specifically recorded in the usual sources however he is recorded in the 1902 Directory of Belfast and Province of Ulster as a 'watch and clock manufacturer' working by appointment to 'His Majesty the King Res: Martello Terrace' from 12 Donegall place, Belfast. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean and essentially in working condition and there is no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is a little dusty/sticky with lazy quarter-chiming and hour striking; adjustment will also be required with regards to the quarter hammers striking the bells cleanly - hence a gentle clean/check-over is required. Two (out of the four) quarter gong hammers are also currently detached from the pivot block - there is no damage evident so will be just a case of re-attaching with a new pivot pin. The dial is in good relatively clean original condition with faults essentially limited to patchy discolouration/tarnishing to the chapter ring. The clock case is generally in good original condition. The curvature to the top has a front-to-back shrinkage crack (not disfiguring and probably easily addressed by a skilled restorer) otherwise the veneers etch appear free form damage or significant and age-related blemishes. The surface colour is uneven due to some sun-fading. The superstructure shows evidence of having finials (five) and the front angles may have originally had columns applied within the angles - these may have been removed to 'tone down' the appearance of the clock in order to satisfy the principals of Protestant owners. The plinth is in very similar condition to the clock. The top has some slight movement (not visible when clock is in place) and there is a slip of moulding detached from the frieze to the right-hand side. The skirting at the base has a couple of small veneer corner chips and rubbing/staining along the lower edge. Otherwise faults to the plinth are limited to minor shrinkage, a few bumps, scuffs etc. and some fading to the veneers. It is also probable that the front angles were also originally fitted with columns (flanking the panel).Clock has pendulum and a winder but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Bell, Winchester, 6th September 1966 for £6,170. Purchased by G.H. Bell from Sotheby's, London, sale of FINE ENGLISH AND CONTINENTAL FURNITURE, RUGS AND CARPETS, TAPESTRIES AND CLOCKS 21st May 1965 (Lot 55) 'The Property of a Gentleman' for £1,600 hammer. Thomas Tompion has often been referred to as the 'father of English clock and watchmaking'. When considering the legacy of his work and influence on subsequent generations, such a compliment is justly deserved. Born in Ickwell, Suffolk in 1639 Thomas Tompion appears to have developed an affinity for metalworking from his father, also named Thomas, who worked as a blacksmith. By 1670 Tompion had moved to London and was working in the clock and watchmaking trade. Although there is no record of his apprenticeship or whether he received any formal training prior to moving to London, he quickly became established and obtained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in late 1671. His early clocks demonstrate a close working relationship with the Fromanteel, East and Knibb workshops. Around this time Tompion became friendly with eminent mathematicians and scientists such as Robert Hooke and Jonas Moore - perhaps the most progressive and inventive minds of the day. Such associations lead to Royal commissions, firstly from Charles II for whom Tompion is known to have made one of the earliest balance-spring watches in 1676 and later William III who ordered numerous clocks to furnish his various palaces throughout his reign. As well as being an extremely talented artisan Tompion was also commercially minded, cleverly introducing serial numbering for his watches and clocks from around 1681/2. This, as well as maintaining a high degree of refinement in both the design and construction of his clocks and watches, ensured the highest level of exclusivity for clients purchasing from him. In around 1701 Thomas Tompion took a former apprentice, Edward Banger, into partnership. Banger was originally apprenticed to Thomas Ashby in 1687 but was transferred over to Tompion and gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1695. He was clearly a talented maker (when considering the few examples signed by Banger alone) however a serious problem between him and his former master caused the partnership to come to an abrupt end in 1707-8 for reasons unknown. On Banger's departure Tompion reverted to working alone until he found confidence in George Graham who had been engaged as a journeyman for Tompion since 1696. Graham's character had already been given the seal of approval by Tompion who allowed him to marry his niece, Elizabeth, in 1704; however it still would be a few years before Tompion would take Graham into partnership which he eventually did in 1711.Thomas Tompion died in November 1713 leaving the business to George Graham who maintained the same exacting standards and became famous in his own right with notable achievements including the development of the deadbeat escapement for pendulum clocks and the cylinder escapement for watches. Edward Banger outlived Tompion by six years, his abilities as a highly skilled watchmaker are demonstrated within a fine jewelled movement dating to around 1715 by him illustrated by him in Evans, Jeremy THOMAS TOMPION at the Dial and Three Crowns page 54, Fig. 97. The movement and dial of the present lot conform to the 'type 1' phase of Tompion longcase clock development as set-out in Evans, Jeremy; Carter, Jonathan and Wright, Ben THOMAS TOMPION, 300 YEARS pages 197-217. The dial is indeed a 'textbook' example of its type and can be directly compared to that of another month longcase (number 14) with double wheat-ear border by Tompion, illustrated in Symonds, R.W. THOMAS TOMPION on page 78 (Figure 54). The movement conforms to Tompion's standard layout for a month duration longcase clock with another of near identical design (number 223) illustrated by Evans, Carter and Wright on page 204. Indeed, the only real variances between these movements are that the present lot has taller plates and no pallet-shaped cut-out to the backplate; both of these features are due to current movement being an earlier example. Tompion's work is characterised by an exceptional approach to the finishing of his movements; the present lot does not disappoint with finely cut graded wheelwork and superb shaping to the steelwork most notably to the hammer spring tail, bell stand foot and barrel click springs.Although the case is not original to the movement and dial it is 'of the period' and a comfortable match benefitting from not having a lenticle (Tompion's preference) and pleasing detailing on the panelling of the veneers. Indeed, the case fulfils the list of criteria listed by Evans, Carter and Wright, with regards to features expected in a 'Type 1', case on page 197.  

A VICTORIAN FIGURED MAHOGANY HOUR-STRIKING DOMESTIC LONGCASE REGULATORPARKINSON AND FRODSHAM, LONDON, MID 19th CENTURYThe substantial five knopped pillar eight-day gong striking movement with Harrison's maintaining power and Graham-type deadbeat escapement regulated by wood-rod seconds pendulum with heavy bob adjusted via a calibrated silvered rating screw, and fine beat adjustment to crutch, the 12 inch circular single sheet silvered brass Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds dial and signed Parkinson & Frodsham, CHANGE ALLEY, LONDON to centre, with blued steel spade hands and STRIKE/SILENT selection lever above twelve o'clock, the case with cavetto moulded compressed break-arch cornice over square front door fitted with a circular glazed dial aperture with canted silvered fillet insert to interior flanked by canted angles, the trunk with cavetto throat moulding over recessed panel trunk door fronted with fine flame-figured veneer and flanked by conforming canted angles, the plinth base with stepped ogee top moulding over panel outline front also with fine flame figured veneer continuing down to face the skirt base.199cm (78.5ins) high, 46.5cm (18.24ins) wide, 26cm (10.25ins) deep. William Parkinson and William James Frodsham founded the highly regarded firm of Parkinson & Frodsham in 1801 at 4 Change Alley, Cornhill, London. William Parkinson died in 1842 and William Frodsham in 1850. Initially the firm specialised in marine and pocket chronometers and established an extensive export business supplying the Admiralty and numerous shipping companies. After the founders' deaths the business was continued by Frodsham's elder sons and grandson until 1912, when it was sold to the foreman, William Harris. Harris and his son Geoffrey ran the business successfully until 1944 when the firm's premises in Budge Row were bombed. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence or noticeable replacements. Although the clock appears to have been maintained in good working condition a precautionary gentle clean/lubrication is probably advisable if intending to put into long-term service. The dial has some slight rubbing around the winding holes and some overall light patchy oxidation otherwise is in fine original condition. Movement retains its original seatboard secured into the case with no visible evidence of alteration or adjustment hence we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in very good original condition with notable faults limited to very slight warping to the centre panel of the trunk door (no splits or evidence of 'coming away' from the frame/surround). The left side skirt has veneer patch repair running along the lower edge; the opposing right-hand side has some slight veneer chipping also along the lower edge. Faults are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear.Clock has pendulum, two brass-cased weights, case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE GEORGE III BLACK CHINOISERIE JAPANNED TAVERN WALL TIMEPIECEPHILIP LLOYD, BRISTOL, CIRCA 1775The four pillar weight-driven movement with five-wheel train, anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum and tapered plates, the 24 inch wide gilt on black painted shield-shaped Roman numeral dial with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and brass spade hands, the lower margin with foliate scroll painted spandrel decoration over signature P. Lloyd, BRISTOL, within gilt line and leaf painted break-arch cavetto moulded surround applied with gilt finials to upper corners and secured to the drop-trunk case with four steel pins, the case with lift-out panels to the side apertures over concave throat moulding and break-arch door decorated in polychrome and gilt with oriental figures within a garden trellis landscape, line borders and raised edge mouldings, the surround with diamond trellis infill to upper quadrants over chevron and leafy trail banded borders, the sides with oversize floral sprays and the base of stepped ogee profile decorated with further conforming foliate decorated panels; together with copies of Gatto, Martin THE TAVERN CLOCK Tavernicus Publishing Bath 2010, dj; Gatto, Martin THE TAVERNICUS TAVERN CLOCK ARCHIVE, Together with Random Jottings Bath 2017, softbound; Gatto, Martin THE TAVERNICUS TAVERN CLOCK ARCHIVE, EXTENDED EDITION Bath 2021, and Rose, Ronald E. English DIAL CLOCKS Antique Collectors' Club, Woodbridge 1994, dj, (5).155cm (61ins) high, 75cm (29.5ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep. Provenance:From the private collection of a professional sportsman and commentator. The life and work of Philip Lloyd is discussed by Brian Loomes in his article PHILIP LLOYD of Llawhaden and Bristol published in the July 2022 issue of 'CLOCKS' magazine. Loomes notes the Lloyd was a Quaker born in Llawhaden in around 1726 where he set-up business as a clockmaker. He is thought to have married Elizabeth Beverstock at St. Martin's in the Fields, London, 1758, and it is likely that he was already working in Bristol by this time. He was a fine maker producing longcase clocks in the high 'Bristol' style often incorporating lunar and tidal indications and at least one more tavern clock by him is known. He was recorded as a 'Watchmaker of Clifton Parish' on his death in 1783. His widow, Sarah, died at the age of 65 in 1789 and was buried at Love Street, Bristol. The present timepiece is recorded in Gatto, Martin THE TAVERNICUS TAVERN CLOCK ARCHIVE, EXTENDED EDITION page 178. Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The movement has had some historic re-bushing and the steelwork has slightly aged appearance (evidence of minor historic corrosion) but has been well-conserved. The movement to seatboard securing bolts have been renewed (probably due to wear in the threads) but the original bolts are included. The seatboard is a well-made replacement however we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case. The hands appear most likely original. The dial panel is in very good original condition with fine surface and colour. There is some slight historic movement along the joints within the panel (to be expected) but all appears stable. There has been some very light restoration to address some corner bumps and scuffs to the outer edges and moulded surround but otherwise panel appears very well conserved with no visible re-touching to the dial and only relatively minor historic wear/rubbing. The trunk carcass has been given a light wash of linseed oil hence carcass elements are dark and have a slight sheen (rather than being dry/dusty). The panels for the side apertures appear to be very well made replacements. The surface to the sides and front of the trunk is in fine original condition with good surface. Noticeable re-touching appears to be essentially limited to the strengthening of the vase of fern foliage to the lower right-hand corner of the door panel and a coach line bordering the scene to the door. The door retains its original lock and hinges. The right-hand side of the ogee-shaped base section has a small historic loss/chip within the panel. The upper part of the trunk has some old flaking/losses to the japanned finish however this cannot really be seen as it is behind the dial. The hanging hole to the backboard has historic wear and there is also a minor split to the panel nearby, both of these are not problematic in any way. Faults to the case are generally otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkages and wear commensurate with age and use. Generally a fine example in very good original condition.Timepiece is complete with pendulum, oval section weight, case key and a winder.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH ROLLING MOONPHASEJAMES WILLIAMS, BATH, LATE 18th CENTURYThe four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch single-sheet silvered brass Roman numeral break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds and arched calendar dial to the scroll engraved centre signed James, Williams, BATH, with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, scroll pierced steel hands and engraved with figural representations of the four seasons to the spandrel areas, beneath arch with rolling moonphase incorporating landscape decorated lunettes and calibrated for the age of the moon together with HIGH WATER AT BRISTOL KEY to outer margin, the break-arch case with ogee and key-cut cornice mouldings and triple oval fan lozenge inlaid frieze over hinged glazed dial aperture with 'wavy edged' border to the glass, flanked by fluted Corinthian columns with brass caps and bases and the sides with bargeboards positioned at the rear edge, the trunk with cavetto throat moulding over shaped-top caddy-moulded door faced with flame-figured veneer flanked by conforming Corinthian quarter columns to the angles, the plinth base applied with serpentine-outline raised caddy moulded panel to fascia over ogee bracket feet.224cm, (88ins) high, 53.5cm (21ins) wide, 28.5cm (11.25ins) deep Provenance:The Leonard Fuller collection. James Williams is recorded in Moore, A.J. The Clockmakers of Bristol 1650-1900 as working in Bath 1799-1805. Condition Report: Movement is complete and is in working condition however as the mechanism is a little dirty/neglected a gentle clean/service is advised. There is no visible evidence of any alteration and the drive mechanisms for the moonphase and calendar are present. The dial is in good original condition with apparently untouched decoration to the lunar disc; the silvering has overall streaky oxidation and there is some slight rubbing to the plate towards the lower edge. The movement retains what appears to be its original seatboard resting directly onto the cheek uprights of the case. Although there is some evidence suggesting levelling/adjustment we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is generally in very good original condition. The vertical slips dressing the rear edges of the backboard behind the hood are replacements and the left-hand throat moulding is currently detached (just needs re-gluing back into position). The centre of the trunk door has a localised fault within the veneer (lifting and filing). The feet are replacements. Otherwise case is in very good original condition with other faults very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage, wear and other age related blemishes.Clock is complete with pendulum, weights, case key and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN INTERESTING INLAID MAHOGANY TWIN FUSEE DROP-DIAL WALL CLOCK WITH TWENTY-ONE INCH DIALTHE MOVEMENT BY JAMES DRURY, THE DIAL SIGNED FOR THWAITES AND REED, LONDON, EARLY 19th CENTURYThe substantial five pillar twin chain fusee movement with thick plates measuring approximately 9.5 inches by 8.25 inches and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum incorporating transverse pivoted beam rise/fall regulation to suspension, the backplate indistinctly signed Ja's Drury to centre and with hour-revolving yoke to allow take-off for a remote dial to pass through an aperture in the pendulum rod and a hole in the case back panel, fitted to a 21 inch circular white painted Roman numeral dial inscribed Thwaites & Reed, Clerkenwell, LONDON to centre, with rise/fall adjustment square at twelve o'clock and brass hands, set behind a hinged glazed ogee-outline cast brass bezel applied to a cushion-moulded wooded surround, secured via pegs onto the rear box case with doors to both sides, over line inlaid figured mahogany veneered fascia to the drop-trunk and pendulum access flap to the curved underside.73cm (28.75ins) high, 61cm (24ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) deep. James Drury is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1741 and gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1751; he worked in Clerkenwell, London, up until 1811.The clockmaking firm Thwaites and Reed can be traced back to Ainsworth Thwaites who was apprenticed in 1735 and worked from Rosoman Row, Clerkenwell, London 1751-80. He was an accomplished maker who supplied the clock for the tower at the Horse Guards Parade. His son, John, was born in 1757 and took over the business presumably on the death of Ainsworth in 1780 before moving to Bowling Green Lane. He entered into partnership with Jeremiah Reed in 1808 and the firm subsequently became well known for supplying all forms of clocks and movements either wholesale for others to retail or signed by themselves. The partnership continued under John Thwaite's leadership from several addresses in London until his death in 1842. The business has subsequently passed through a series of successors and is still trading today from Rottingdean near Brighton. The current lot is interesting in that the present movement is signed for James Drury but is fitted to a dial signed for Thwaites and Reed (with the painted signature appearing original). Evidence to the rear of the metal dial plate indicates that dial feet for a smaller movement were originally fitted prior to the present arrangement, however, there is no evidence of any other winding holes being drilled through the plate. This would suggest that a decision was made to use the present movement prior to the completion of the timepiece with a smaller, probably single train, movement. If this is the case it may be appropriate to speculate that the present mechanism may have been acquired by Thwaites and Reed on the cessation of James Drury's business in 1811, and was subsequently 'repurposed' for the present lot. The current clock is also unusual in having the facility for a second dial to be driven form the movement (via the hour-yoke to the backplate). This suggests that it was a one-off commission destined for a semi-public environment where a second dial (possibly on the other side of the wall on which the clock was hung) was required. 

A FINE WILLIAM AND MARY FIGURED WALNUT LONGCASE CLOCK CASE WITH 10.25 INCH SQUARE DIAL APERTUREANONYMOUS, PROBABLY LONDON, CIRCA 1690-95The formerly rising hood with generous architectural ogee cornice and foliate scroll inlaid frieze to front over fixed glazed dial aperture applied with Solomonic twist three-quarter columns to the leading angles, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear rising up past the frieze to meet the underside of the cornice above, the trunk with convex throat moulding over 42 inch rectangular door faced with figured quartered veneers and applied with half-round cross-grain mouldings to outer edge, the sides crossbanded, on plinth base with stepped ogee top moulding over book-matched veneers within a crossbanded border to fascia, (the hood formerly rising - now withdrawn forwards).204.5cm (80.5ins) high; 51.5cm (20.25ins) wide, 29cm (11.5ins) deep at the cornice. Features such as the bargeboards applied to the rear edges of the hood continuing up past the frieze to meet the underside of the cornice, and chamfered internal angles to the stiles flanking the trunk door, are features generally only found in cases made for some of the leading London makers such as Tompion, Knibb and Jonathan Puller. 

A QUEEN ANNE WALNUT EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKGEORGE WENTWORTH, OXFORD, CIRCA 1715The four finned pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with calendar dial and subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed George Wentworth, Oxon, to lower margin, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and female mask and scroll cast spandrels within a herringbone engraved outer border, the case with ogee moulded cornice and plain frieze over glazed dial aperture to the hinged front applied with three-quarter columns to the front angles, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear continuing up past the frieze to meet the underside of the cornice, the trunk with concave throat moulding over 42 inch rectangular quarter-veneered door with herringbone banded border and caddy edge moulding, the rectangular plinth base with cavetto upper moulding over herringbone bordered book-match veneered panel within crossbanded surround, on cross-grain moulded skirt.223.5cm (88ins) high, 52cm (20.5ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep. George Wentworth of Oxford is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as baptised at St. Thomas's in Salisbury in 1690 the youngest son of the well-known Salisbury clockmaker Thomas Wentworth senior. He was apprenticed through the Clockmakers' Company to John Knibb of Oxford in 1706 gaining his freedom the same year he married in Dinah Mose 1713. In addition to being a clockmaker George Wentworth was also a goldsmith who served as constable for a year in 1715, then Councillor in 1719 and Mayor's Chamberlain in 1727. In 1730 he repaired the Christ Church Cathedral clock and purchased a property there in 1738. He was appointed senior Bailiff that year and was the Fairmaster from 1740-43. He died in 1746/7. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. There is some historic rebushing and light hammering around one of the movement pillar fixing points on the backplate, and a gentle clean/service is advised if intending to put into long term service. The dial is in fine condition with only slight oxidation to the silvering; hands appear original and undamaged. The movement rests on what appears to the original seatboard at the correct level in the case with no visible evidence of adjustments to the cheek uprights of the case. With this in mind we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in good original condition. The slips applied to the rear of the quarter columns of the hood are later additions and there is some slight bowing to the sides and movement to the trunk door surround. The left-hand hood glass is broken. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to historic scuffing, shrinkage and a few localised veneer repairs and some variance within the colour (most noticeably towards the lower part of the base).Clock is complete with pendulum, two weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A REGENCY MAHOGANY FUSEE DROP-DIAL WALL TIMEPIECETHE DIAL SIGNED FOR THOMAS PACE, LONDON, CIRCA 1820The four pillar single fusee movement with tapered plates and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the 12 inch circular convex white painted Roman numeral dial signed THO'S PACE, LONDON to centre and with steel spade hands set within a hinged convex glazed cast brass caddy moulded bezel applied to a conforming caddy moulded wooden surround, secured via pegs to a rectangular rear case with door to right hand side over figured mahogany veneered drop-trunk with rectangular pendulum access flap to the curved underside (glass lacking). 36cm (14.25ins) wide, 44cm (17.25ins) high, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep. Thomas Pace is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Whitechapel, London 1784-1825. Condition Report: Movement is complete with no visible evidence of alteration however is a little dirty/neglected. The mainspring barrel cap has popped-off the barrel but is present - this should be straightforward to re-attach, movement otherwise is essentially in working condition. The movement is fitted to the back of the dial via a falseplate, the holes for pinning the feet applied to the rear of the dial to the falseplate appear a little large which may cause some to believe that the movement may not be original to the dial; however, as both fit perfectly well together, we are inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt (ie. are of the belief that the movement is most likely original to the dial but probably not the case). The dial retains nice old surface with overall light crazing. The bezel is lacking its glass and has been re-attached with visible solder at the junction with the hinge. The wooden surround has a shrinkage crack at three o'clock otherwise is in fine condition. The rear has a veneer patch repair to the curved underside between the front edge and the door. The top has a sound fret fitted and the inside of the trunk has a small notch cut to the upper left hand side - these details would suggest that the case was originally intended to be fitted with a striking (two train) movement. Case is otherwise in good original condition with only minor age-related shrinkage and blemishes.Timepiece has a pendulum and case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y&nbspA REGENCY MAHOGANY MERCURY STICK BAROMETERTHOMAS BLUNT, LONDON, EARLY 19th CENTURYThe caddy moulded case with swan neck pediment over rectangular glazed silvered Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches and signed T. Blunt, 22 Cornhill, LON, DON to upper margin, the ebony-edged trunk with Vernier adjustment square to throat and flame-figured veneers, over ogee-moulded domed cistern cover to the rounded base incorporating level adjustment square to underside.98.5cm (38.75ins) high, 12.5cm (5ins) wide. Provenance:The Leonard Fuller Collection. Thomas Blunt is recorded in Goodison, Nicholas ENGLISH BAROMETERS 1680-1860 as apprenticed to the celebrated scientific Instrument maker Edward Nairne in 1760, with whom he subsequently formed a partnership after gaining his freedom of the Spectaclemakers' Company in 1771. Edward Nairne died in 1806 although some instruments signed for 'Nairne and Blunt' are believed to have been made after that time. Thomas Blunt was a distinguished instrument maker who was credited with assisting J.H. Magellan with some of the features of his 'New Barometer' devised in 1779. Blunt is believed to have continued alone from his Cornhill address until his death in 1822; he was succeeded by T. Harris. 

A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY LONGCASE CLOCK OF ONE-MONTH DURATIONJOHN BARROW, LONDON, CIRCA 1695The five finned pillar outside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 11 inch square brass dial with ringed winding holes, 'triple crown' decorated scroll border engrave calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword-hilt half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed John Barrow, Londini fecit to lower margin, with fine scroll-pierced sculpted blued steel hands and applied winged cherub mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles and incorporating leafy scroll engraved decoration to the margins of the plate between, the case with ogee moulded cornice and fretwork frieze over floral marquetry trail decorated hinged glazed dial surround applied with ebonised three quarter columns to angles, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with floral bloom decorated convex throat moulding over 42 inch rectangular door centred with a circular lenticle and with three shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and scrolling foliage into an ebonised ground, with half-round edge mouldings and triple-line strung surround, the sides veneered with three line-edged panels within crossbanded borders, the base with stepped ogee top mouldings over conforming rectangular marquetry panel within crossbanded surround, on bun feet.204.5cm (80.5ins) high, 47.5cm (18.75ins) wide, 25,5cm (10ins) deep. John Barrow is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born around 1657 and apprenticed to Frances Ireland 1671-78. He gained his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1681. He took-on numerous apprentices including several from his own family such as Samuel Barrow 1688-69, William Barrow (his son) 1700/01-10, and George Barrow (probably son of William Barrow of Churton, Cheshire) in 1706. John Barrow signed the oath of allegiance in 1697, he was made Assistant in 1705, Warden from 1710 and served as Master in 1714; he died in 1718 and was buried at St. Paul's Covent Garden. Loomes further notes that he worked from an address at the Hermitage hence may have had some form of relationship with Samuel Barrow who was also based there. The engraved 'triple crown' decoration around the calendar aperture of the current lot is a feature sometimes seen on longcase clocks dating from the 1690's and is generally thought to represent the unification of the three Kingdoms of England, Ireland and Scotland, which was first envisaged during the reign of James II in 1688 and was cemented by Act of Parliament in 1707. Indeed, it is possible that this decoration commemorates the signing of the clockmaker's oath of allegiance (to the crown) in 1697. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements other than the escapewheel and pallets which look to be 19th century service replacements. There is some historic rebushing and a gentle clean/service is advised if intending to put into long term service. The dial is in fine condition with only slight oxidation to the silvering; hands appear original and undamaged. The movement rests on what appears to the original seatboard at the correct level in the case with no visible evidence of adjustments to the cheek uprights of the case. With this in mind we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is in sound condition but would benefit from a little attention in places, The hood has replacements columns and bargeboards to the rear. The front fret is also not original and the upper edge of the hood now has slips of timber applied to the top edge (for no apparent purpose). There is no evidence to indicate that the hood was made as a rising and door is veneered on the inside hence hood may have originally been made with a door. The right-hand side has section cut into the lower leading corner to allow the late brass column base clearance when the door is opened. The trunk is in sound condition although the hinges are replacements. The backboard continues down into the base stopping around 3 inches up from the lower level of the box, the sides of the trunk continue further hence it is likely that these elements retain their original length. The carcass has a general wash of black stain (appears 19th century). The trunk door has the usual slight shrinkage cracking/small losses within the marquetry towards the upper and lower margins (where the horizontal clamps are applied to the door board). The base retains its original marquetry but with some repairs and replacements/filling within the decoration; there is also some shrinkage cracking. The side veneers of the trunk are in good condition and nicely figured; the sides of the base have noticeable shrinkage and patching/replacements within the veneers (most noticeably towards the front corners. The underside of the plinth has strip of timber applied to both the front and sides and the bun feet are later. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to bumps, scuffs, a few small veneer patch repairs and other age-related blemishes.Clock is complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM IV FUSEE DROP-DIAL WALL TIMEPIECE WITH EIGHT-INCH DIALM. J. BORRELL, LONDON, CIRCA 1830The four columnar pillar single fusee movement with shouldered tapered plates incorporating offset spring barrel and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum with holdfast clip to the backplate beneath an applied rectangular signature plate engraved M. J. Borrell, LONDON, the 8 inch circular convex cream painted Roman numeral dial signed BORRELL, Whiskin Street, LONDON to centre, with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track and blued steel baluster moon hands, set behind hinged convex-glazed cast brass caddy moulded bezel applied to a moulded wooden surround, fitted via pegs onto rear box case with door to the right hand side and drop trunk beneath the dial incorporating pendulum access flap to the curved base.30cm (11.75ins) high, 25.5cm (10ins) wide, 14.5cm (65.75ins) deep. Maximillian John Borrell is recorded on the British Museum website as working from 19 Wilderness Row, London, 1830-62. He was the son of the celebrated musical clock maker, Henry Borrell, who specialised in making and supplying clocks to the Middle and Far Eastern markets. Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition (although a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised) with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. Generally the movement is in very fine condition except for some slight scuffing/bruising to the lower right hand corner of the backplate. The dial appears to retain old/original surface with some crazing evident; the black numerals and the signature have been carefully 'strengthened'. The bezel is in good condition retaining its original clasp. The wooden surround has some slight marking at 9 o'clock (most likely from attempts to lever the bezel open at some point) otherwise is in fine condition. The rear box case is in fine original condition but has a small veneer patch repair to the bottom front edge of the drop-trunk and a small chip to the rear left-hand corner. The right-hand side flap has also possibly been reset using a baton applied to the rear edge for the hinges. Faults are otherwise limited to minor shrinkage and other age-related blemishes; the colour is particularly fine.Timepiece is complete with pendulum, winder and two case keys. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE AND RARE JAMES II MARQUETRY QUARTER-CHIMING MONTH-GOING LONGCASE CLOCK WITH TEN-INCH DIALJOHN EBSWORTH, LONDON, CIRCA 1685-90The substantial four finned and latched pillar triple train movement with five-wheel trains and plates measuring 7.25 by 6.25 inches and anchor escapement regulated by second pendulum, the quarter train with external countwheel positioned on the second wheel arbor cut with four hour sequences for sounding peels on a graduated nest of three bells, the hour strike train also with countwheel set on the second wheel arbor and sounding on a larger bell, the 10 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands, applied cast winged cherub mask spandrels to angles and signed John Ebsworth Londini Fecit to lower margin of the plate, in an olive wood, walnut and floral marquetry veneered case with ogee moulded architectural cornice and foliate scroll pierced fret to frieze, over hinged front with glazed dial aperture within ebonised ground floral trial inlaid surround flanked by opposing Solomonic twist three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards continuing up past the frieze to meet the underside of the cornice projection at the rear, the trunk with acanthus scroll and floral spray decorated convex throat moulding over 42 inch rectangular ebonised ground marquetry veneered door centred with an oval lenticle beneath stylised twin handled urn issuing bird inhabited floral sprays over conforming bird-and-flower decoration to lower section beneath, with half-round cross-grain edge mouldings within olive and walnut banded triple-line bordered surround, the sides strung with arch-bordered panels, the base with olivewood stepped ogee top moulding over ebonised ground floral marquetry veneered panel within triple-line border and crossbanded surround, on compressed bun feet, (the hood formerly rising).195.5cm (77ins) high, 46cm (18ins) wide, 25cm (9.75ins) deep. Provenance:The Leonard Fuller Collection, purchased from Garrard and Company Limited, London, 5th April 1967 for £2,350. John Ebsworth is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in around 1643, apprenticed to Richard Ames in 1657 and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1665. He is believed to have succeeded Thomas Knifton at 'the crossed keys' in Lothbury but later worked from 'Cheap Side'. John Ebsworth was made an Assistant in 1682, served as Warden 1694-96 and was elected Master in 1697. He was one of the original subscribers for the bank of England lodging £1,000 in 1694. Ebsworth is thought to have been a non-conformist which is probably why he did not sign the oath of allegiance in 1697. At that time he was living in the parish of St. Margaret's Lothbury and died two years later in 1699. John Ebsworth was a prolific maker of lantern clocks with many examples known dating from the 1670' and 80's, incorporating centre-swinging pendulums and variously signed 'at ye (crossed keys) in Lothbury, Londini fecit'. He also made a small series table clocks of a distinctive design with fine foliate engraved backplates incorporating integral 'it will' and 'it will not' strike selection within the design; one such clock was sold in these rooms, 24th November 2004 for £17,500 hammer. In addition to clocks, Ebsworth also made watches and even sundials, although two sundials were confiscated from his shop in 1674 due to being faulty!The present lot is testament to Ebsworth's abilities as a clockmaker and is of particularly rare specification being a quarter-chiming longcase clock of one-month duration. Although the movement has only four pillars they are thickly turned and the plates are of heavy gauge (just over 3mm). The steelwork is finished to a high standard with shaping to elements such as the hammer springs and stops, done in a very similar manner as to often seen on lantern clock steelwork, but executed with more finesse. Although the movement is generally robust and heavy in its construction, where required, components such as the quarter hammers are delicately executed.The case is an early example featuring 'all over' marquetry decoration. The design to the door is quite distinctive with its central twin handled urn motif and features such as the bargeboards applied to the rear edges of the hood continuing up past the frieze to meet the underside of the cornice, and chamfered internal angles to the stiles flanking the trunk door, are details generally only found in cases made for some of the leading London makers such as Tompion and Knibb as well as Jonathan Puller and James Markwick.

The hammer spring has been moved (former location denoted by spare hole towards the centre of the plate) and repaired. The dial is dirty/tarnished but is in sound original condition. The arch has some slight distortion/bending to the plate (but has no visible cracks or problematic creases). The seconds and calendar hands are replacements, the others appear original and in good condition. The movement retains original seatboard, the cheek uprights of the case are incomplete but the original elements that are present have levels commensurate with the movement and dial hence we are of the opinion that the case is original to the movement and dial. The case is generally in good original condition and is structurally sound. The infill between the swan necks of the pediment has a replaced section at the centre and a small veneer patch repair to the glazed dial aperture surround, otherwise hood appears to free from significant faults although the door hinge requires adjustment and there are a few historic bumps, scuffs and localised repairs including a chip to the base of the right-hand column. The trunk door has a join down the centre which is solid and appears to be an original detail, the lock and hinges are replacements. The trunk and base are otherwise in very sound condition but with poor neglected finish and repairs to the feet. Other faults to the case are generally limited to relatively light historic bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear.Clock has pendulum, two weights, a case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y&nbspA FINE CHARLES II OLIVEWOOD AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH TEN-INCH DIALRICHARD JARRATT, LONDON, CIRCA 1685The five finned and latched pillar outside countwheel bell striking movement with tall plates measuring 7.5 by 5 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the backplate with distinctive decorative aperture for the pallet arbor, the 10 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands, applied cast winged cherub mask spandrels to angles and signed Richard Jarratt, London to lower margin of the plate, in an oyster olivewood and floral marquetry veneered case with part ebonised ogee moulded architectural cornice and foliate scroll pierced fret to frieze over hinged front with glazed dial aperture flanked by ebonised Solomonic twist three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with convex throat moulding over 41 inch rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle between two line-edged shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and a central stylised urn into an ebony ground within an oyster veneered olivewood field, the upper and lower angles with conforming marquetry spandrel panels within half-round ebonised edge mouldings, the sides with veneered with repeating oysters within banded surround, the base with part-ebonised stepped ogee upper moulding over oval floral marquetry decorated panel and four conforming quadrant panels to fascia, on ebonised bun feet, (the hood formerly rising).191.5cm (75.5ins) high, 45cm (17.75ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) deep. Provenance:The Leonard Fuller Collection, purchased from G.H. Bell, Winchester, 26th August 1965 for £850. Richard Jarratt is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as a freeman of the Salters' Company who became free in the Clockmakers' Company in January 1670/1. He was made a Steward in 1672, an Assistant in 1674, served as Warden 1681-83 and was elected Master in 1686. Jarratt was the son-on-law of Jeremy Gregory having married Rebecca Halstead (nee Gregory) widow of clockmaker Richard Halstead in 1678. Richard Jarratt worked in Lothbury and ceased attending Court in 1693 through illness. He received occasional charity from the Clockamakers' Company from 1694 including 18s sent to him at 'Ludgate' prison in 1695. Jarratt continued to pay quaterage up until 1697 but did not sign the oath of allegiance that year. He is believed to have died by 1698. The present lot is a good example of the earliest form of marquetry longcase clock with ebony-ground bird inhabited designs set into shaped panels composed with curved quadrants to the trunk door and shaped spandrels around an on oval to the plinth. Indeed a case housing a movement and dial by Thomas Tompion, exhibiting a related arrangement of marquetry panels to the present clock, is illustrated in Dawson, P.G; Drover, C.B. and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks on page 266 (Plate 363). The movement of the present clock is also highly typical of the produced by London makers during the mis 1680's with tall slender latched plates and external countwheel; a nice, individual feature, is the decorative cut-out to the backplate for the pallet arbor. The dial is of an attractive restrained design again typical of the period with the signature executed in the same manner (and probably by the same hand) as an example by Joseph Knibb illustrated in Lee, Ronald A. The Knibb Family * Clockmakers on page 108 (Plate 107). Condition Report: Movement is in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is clean but we would suggest that a precautionary gentle clean/lubrication is advisable if intending to put into long term service. The dial is in good original condition; the plate is not gilded but is of nice even mellow colour being coated in toned lacquer. The chapter ring has overall light oxidation hence is also of fairly mellow colour. The hour hand is an unusual pattern hence may be a replacement; the spandrels are good quality castings. The seatboard is a replacement but rests at the correct level in the case on cheek uprights that appear free from any visible adjustment. The top left corner of the backplate has evidence of movement-to-case securing bracket being fitted at some point (no longer present) there is no corresponding evidence of a being fitted to the case backboard which would suggest that the movement and dial are not original to the case (although movement and case are a very good match).The case is generally in very good condition. The hood was originally rising but has been converted to be drawn forwards and the front now opens. The conversion to opening front was clearly executed a long time ago and very neatly preserving the original veneers to the sides. The top board is a replacement and the rear edges of the extremities of the cornice have been cut at an angle to allow for standing in the corner of a room. The front right hand tip of the cornice has a small loss to the moulding, and there is a very small section out of the chin moulding to the right hand side towards the front edge. The frieze fret and bargeboards are replacements, the rear quarter columns may also be replacements. The top board is a replacement and the rear interior edges also have some wear (near the runners for the former rising action). Faults to the hood are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage, wear and historic repairs commensurate with age and use. The trunk and base are in fine condition with the door retaining its original lock and hinges. Although the backboard and sides panels do not continue all the way down to line up with the lower edge of the base (stop a few inches short) they appear to retain their original lengths with no evidence if being shortened. The box base appears original but with some historic worm damage to the carcass (not active). The veneers have small repairs to the banding at the edges (to address chips); both sides have a full-height sections of veneer let-in towards the rear edge - these appear to be an original feature and both side veneers match. The bin feet are replacements and there is a later applied slip of timber dressing the rear of the box beneath the backboard Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to small historic bumps, scuffs, a few very minor veneer repairs and other age-related blemishes.Clock is complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, case key and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE EDWARDIAN CARVED MAHOGANY TUBULAR-BELL CHIMING REGULATOR WITH AUTOMATIC DAILY TUNE SELECTIONUNSIGNED BUT PROBABLY BY J.J. ELLIOTT, LONDON, EARLY 20th CENTURYThe substantial four columnar pillar eight-day movement with spotted plates, the going train with Harrison's maintaining power and deadbeat escapement regulated by wood rod pendulum incorporating fine-beat adjustment to crutch and with banking pins to the movement backplate, the rack-strike train with external fly and sounding the hours on a large nickel finish tubular gong, the quarter train also with external fly and chiming a choice of seven tunes via an 11.25 inch pinned cylinder on a graduated set of eight further tubular gongs every quarter hour, the right-hand side of the movement with extension to the plates fitted with automatic daily tune selection mechanism incorporating a twenty-four hour wheel and manual selection override via the dial, the 13.25 inch wide circular silvered brass dial with applied gilt rosette decorated subsidiary seconds to the leaf decorated diamond lattice engraved centre, within fine overlaid gilt foliate scroll pierced and engraved fretwork band to the inner edge of the narrow Roman numeral chapter ring engraved Made in England to lower margin, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and leaf engraved spandrel infill to the concave-cut corners, beneath arch with twin gilt rosette centred subsidiary CHIME/SILENT and CANTERBURY/GUILDFORD/WESTMINSTER/ST. MICHAEL/WINCHESTER/WHITTINGTON and TENNYSON tune selection dials set within conforming engraved infill, the substantial case with fine foliate carved swan neck pediment centred with a generous vase, over acanthus overlaid blind diamond lattice infill and hinged bevel-glazed dial aperture flanked by Baroque leaf carved square-section shouldered baluster uprights, the sides with large rectangular sound frets, the trunk with repeating acanthus carved ogee throat moulding over shaped bevel-glazed door centred with a baroque cartouche flanked by floral swags issuing form corbels applied to the blind-fretwork decorated canted angles, the base with concave top moulding over applied foliate decorated panel outline and conforming blind-fret canted angles, on repeating lambrequin carved skirt base with leaf decorated bun feet; together with a rare trade catalogue for Harris & Harrison, FINE IMPORTED CLOCKS..., New York, AMERICAN AGENTS FOR THE CELEBRATED ELLIOTT ENGLISH CHIME CLOCKS dated September 1915, softbound with original separate price list.253cm (99.5ins) high, 56cm (22ins) wide, 38cm (15ins) deep.  Provenance:From the private collection of a professional sportsman and commentator. Although the present lot is unsigned, detailing within the movement (such as the pillar turnings, pierced dial feet and use of external flies) are commensurate with the work of the London clockmaking firm J.J. Elliott and would probably date to around the time they merged with Grimshaw Baxter circa 1910. The quality of the finish to both the movement and case is particularly noteworthy, as is the very rare seven-tune quarter-chiming mechanism which incorporates automatic daily tune selection ensuring that differing melodies are played on successive days. Condition Report: Movement has been maintained in working condition by the vendor who had it running in his home up until consignment. The finish to the brass has been left unpolished to preserve the original spotting to the plates (hence the slightly mellow/oxidised colouring). The automatic tune selection mechanism is operational and as is the tune selection dial to the arch. There is no visible evidence of damage to the pin barrel and all hammers and gongs are in fine original condition. To the best of our knowledge there are no issues with the clock movement and chiming mechanism however, due to its scale and complexity, we have not set-it up running whilst in our possession hence can offer no guarantees - we suggest that it is probably best to have it checked-over and set-up by a clockmaker (just in case any adjustments are required) if intending to put into service. The dial is in very good original condition with only very slight oxidation to the finishes. The case is in very fine original condition with no noticeable losses to the carving or splits to the structure; faults do very much appear to be limited to minimal age-related bumps and scuffs.Clock is complete with all of its original tubular gongs, weights (with minimal denting) pendulum, winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A George III mahogany longcase clock, by Richard Biggs Rumsey (Romsey), with two train movement with ship automaton to arch with subsidiary seconds dial and date aperture. Dial width 30 cm, case height 221 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The case is in generally very good condition and does not really require any work. There are some traces of what appears to be long gone woodworm to the arch behind the blind fretwork which in our opinion is not problematic. There are minor veneer stress fractures but no real case issues. We have the key to the trunk door lock which does operate. The pine backboards are original and again have very minor traces of old long-gone woodworm. The movement winds on both trains and is currently ticking away operating the ship automaton in the arch. The movement strikes when advanced and the calendar dial seems to work also. The seat board is old and the cheeks have not been built up.

An Edward Rundell Morten St Philips month going two train longcase clock, in mahogany case with inlay to the door and blind fretwork to the hood. Case height 214 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The movement winds on both trains and is currently ticking away and striking when manually advanced. The movement and dial appear to be original to each other and the seatboard is old. The case cheeks have not been built up. The mask around the dial is not a perfect fit, there being a few millimetres gap between the mask and dial. The case being mahogany is likely to be later to the movement and dial. The case itself is in generally good order. There is a loss to the rear of the left-hand pediment return. The capitals have been re-painted. The right-hand hood glass is missing. The trunk door is flat not warped and closes and locks as it should. The plinth around the base is later to the case. There are various stress fractures to the cabinet but generally the condition is good.

A late Georgian oak longcase clock, with 30 hour movement by Miles Shaston. Height 219 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The dial is 11 ins square. We have the weight and pendulum and the chain is present. The movement is currently ticking away and striking when advanced. The case is in generally good condition with no significant issues. The only real problem is that the left-hand moulded return to the bottom of the hood is missing. There is a scratch to the right-hand side of the case at the rear and other minor scratches elsewhere but no significant cracks or anything of that nature. The trunk door is not warped. It does have a lock which operates. There are some very minor traces of old woodworm which appear to be long gone none of which in our opinion is problematic.
