Height including finial 229 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: Whilst the clock is ticking away and striking as it should neither the moon face or the date hand are currently connected and there are pieces missing here. The dial is badly rubbed and much of the gilding not present. The Arabic numerals around the Roman numerals are not visible neither are the date markers. The case itself is in generally good structural condition. There is considerable wear to the verre eglomise. The hood should have rear flat uprights at the rear of the sides of the case, these are missing. The trunk door is not warped. The sides of the case are in generally good order as is the blind fretwork and the base. There are no significant issues with the case other than the missing sections at the rear of the hood and very minor losses of the edge cornice.
A 19th century oak and walnut longcase clock, with square brass dial and two-train striking movement by John Clark. Height 217 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The clock hood is missing its top panel. There is no glass to the door. The hood is structurally otherwise sound. The trunk door is not warped and closes as it should. The sides of the trunk are in good condition. The base has a timber loss to the left hand side which should be evident from our image. The sides of the base are in good order. The base will probably have had a plinth at some point and now looks rather low. The dial is extremely dirty as is the movement. It appears complete. We have the pendulum but the metal suspension is missing. We have two weights. The movement and case are clearly a marriage. It is also a little odd to have a walnut veneered door on an oak case.
A mahogany longcase clock, late 18th century, with eight day movement, painted arched dial, subsidiary date and seconds dials, the painted arch depicting Mary Queen of Scots escaping Loch Leven Castle and each spandrel with portraits of Douglas Seton, Herries and Fleming and signed "J.N.O. Sliman, Cumnock". Height 221 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The clock case is in generally very good order. The hood is in good condition with no issues. The moulding above the long trunk door is missing at the front and both sides. Other than this the case is really in extremely good condition. We have the pendulum and both weights. The catgut is however perished and we have not had the movement running. One of the cheek blocks is missing and the movement does not sit straight in the case, the movement appears to be complete and is simply a little dirty. The clock is not a marriage.
An early 19th century inlaid mahogany cased grandmother clock, with arched silvered brass dial and two-train striking movement by Richard Midgley, the case with long trunk door and raised on bracket feet. Case height 163 cm, dial width 22 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The clock case is in very good order with no issues other than very minor scratches and marks as one would expect.

The only minor issue with the piece is that the suspension feather is missing.

The movement is a little dirty but appears to be all present. The date wheel is in place. We have not had the clock running, however when weight is applied to the going train the seconds hand operates. The same comment applies to the strike train.

An oak and mahogany cased longcase clock, with single pointer, thirty hour movement, brass dial and crossbanded trunk door. Height 195 cm. CONDITION REPORT: This clock and case are clearly a marriage hence the estimate. The case itself has a rather strange pediment which may not be original. The cornice is mahogany and the door surround, pillars and sides oak. The hood is in reasonable order. The trunk door is not warped it is however locked and we do not have a key. The trunk and base are also a marriage. The movement is of interest being a bird cage type. We have a weight but no pendulum. The movement does operate when weight is applied to the mechanism. We have however not had the clock running. We have a weight but no pendulum. The dial dimensions are 29.7 cm square. Please note the height of the clock is 195 cm not 95 cm.
A 19th century walnut regulator longcase clock, with four pillar movement, shaped plates and centre seconds, diameter 31 cm, case with glazed door and bombe base, height 216 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The clock case is in generally extremely good condition and a good colour. The hood has no issues. The trunk door is in good order and not warped. The glass is original. All mouldings are in good condition. The sides of the trunk are original and in good order also. The only minor issue to the base is a veneer loss on the top left hand corner which should be visible in our images. There are minor scuffs around the bombe base and what looks like an old veneer repair to the right hand side. The movement winds as it should. It is currently ticking away and appears to be in good order. We think that this is an 8 day clock. The pendulum has been broken just above the brass fitment above the bob. This has been drilled and pegged and whilst slightly loose the repair is effective. We do not have a key for either the mechanism or the door.
A 19th century Scottish mahogany longcase clock, with foliate carved pediment and circular dial, with two-train striking movement, keyhole type trunk door and raised on short turned legs.

There is small timber loss to the edge moulding above the lock escutcheon. To the left of the top of the door there is a bruise to the timber. The sides of the clock are in generally good order with only minor surface scratches and marks. The base panel has edge moulding missing to the top left and right and bottom left. There are minor stress fractures to the veneers and other small marks. The sides of the base are in similar condition. The left hand return moulding has a small section missing. All feet are present and original. The dial is as you can see from our image in reasonable condition but does have some paint loss particularly around the winding apertures and numerals 4 and 5. We have two weights. When weight is applied to the movement the seconds hand does operate. The same applies to the strike train. When weight is applied the clock strikes. Unfortunately we have no pendulum. The minute hand is missing its end pointer. The movement appears to be complete but is a little dirty.

All of the scrolling mouldings are in good condition. The trunk door is not significantly warped and closes as it should. We have the key.

He left his father's studio in 1765, setting up his own workshop in Halifax where he worked until his death in 1814. In his own workshop he concentrated on quality eight-day clocks in mahogany cases. His work and output increased after the death of his only serious local competitor, Thomas Ogden, in 1769. He made a number of very complicated clocks including world-time and musical clocks. Thomas Lister senior, of the well known family of Halifax clockmakers, started out producing 30hour cottage type longcase clocks, his son Thomas junior then began making more complicated clocks, this surely being one of those examples....
