A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKJOHN COTTON, LONDON, CIRCA 1695The five finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 11 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and winged cherub mask and foliate scroll cast spandrels to angles, the lower margin of the dial plate with engraved signature Iohn Cotton in ye Strande, in a case with later domed caddy superstructure over architectural entablature and hinged glazed dial aperture incorporating floral marquetry decoration to surround and flanked by three-quarter columns to the front angles, the sides with rectangular windows and bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with ebonised ground grotesque mask-centred floral trail decorated convex throat moulding over 41.5 inch rectangular door inlaid with an architectural urn within bird inhabited flowering foliage into an ebonised ground, centred with an oval lenticle and with half-round edge mouldings set into a herringbone inlaid surround, over base with stepped ogee top moulding and conforming floral marquetry panel within herringbone border to fascia, on shallow moulded band and ogee bracket feet.196cm (77ins) high excluding later superstructure and feet, 223cm (88ins) high overall, 48cm (19ins) wide, 25.5cm (10ins) deep. John Cotton is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born circa 1669, apprenticed to Charles Lowndes in 1683 and gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1695. Loomes notes that Cotton paid quarterage until 1697 and is thought to have died the following year. His son of the same name was apprenticed to Edward Comins, a shipwright of Woolwich, London. Condition Report: The movement is essentially in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is a little dirty/dusty hence requires a clean and service. The dial is in good clean condition with only a couple of light blemishes to the matted decoration to the centre only. The movement rests on a replacement seatboard with packing to the cheek uprights indicating the movement and dial are not original to the case. The case is structurally sound and retains all its important elements including good long backboard continuing down well into the plinth (has some shrinkage cracking and a couple of small patch repairs to the panel). The sides are also in good condition retaining almost all of their original length. The case has however seen some historic 'updating' and requires overall work. The caddy is a 19th century replacement as is the entablature moulding and hood columns. The sides of the hood have lost their veneers and rear quarter columns. The hood door has one small loss to the marquetry otherwise is in good condition. The throat moulding has some losses/flaking and historic filling to the marquetry, the trunk door also has s a few similar localised losses to the marquetry and some filling mostly to cracks near the top and bottom margins (due to shrinkage between the door panel and the clamps applied at each end). The trunk door lock is a replacement and there is a veneer patch repair to the escutcheon area. The sides of the case have a scumbled stain finish over the original veneers which appear sound; an attempt to clean back this finish has been made to the lower rear right causing patchiness. The base top mouldings have shrinkage cracking and some historic worm damage. The plinth retains its original marquetry panel which is in similar condition to the rest of the marquetry. The lower edge of the plinth appears to have been reduced slightly and applied with later moulding and ogee bracket feet. The side veneers of the plinth re in sound condition; the banding around the front panel has chips/losses and repairs. The plinth is a little out of square in relation to the trunk causing the clock to lean a little when the plinth is stood square on the ground. Otherwise faults to the case are essentially limited to age related bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and a few small localised repairs.Clock is generally a sound restoration project and has a pendulum, pair of brass cased weights and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKWILLIAM UPJOHN, EXETER, CIRCA 1765The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum.

Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Exeter 1741-87. Clive Ponsford in TIME IN EXETER adds that he lived in a house on South Hill Street and married an Anna Reeve at Holy Trinity Church on 11th September 1736. The marriage produced thirteen children of which at least four sadly died. Their eldest son, Thomas, together with another son, William junior, subsequently followed their father into the clockmaking trade. Ponsford records his death and burial in St Mary Major churchyard on 14th December 1768. Condition Report: The movement is clean working condition wand appears all-original with no visible alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is also in clean condition but with some slight oxidation to the silvering. The minute hand has been repaired. The movement retains its original seatboard which rests direct on the cheek uprights of the case indicating that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is generally in very sound original condition however has been repolished at some point which has now aged to exhibit some variances in colour which may benefit from attention from furniture finisher. The caddy probably had a caddy or other superstructure fitted onto the top box and the feet are replacements otherwise faults are very much limited to minor shrinkage and a few historic bumps and scuffs.Clock is complete with Pendulum, two weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Edward Prior is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as a maker of repute working 1800-68. His workshops were located at 18 Powell Street, King Square, Clerkenwell and he was the last of the celebrated Prior family who specialised in producing watches and highly decorative clocks for the Middle Eastern market throughout the latter half of the 18th century. The case makers mark 'I R' is probably for James Richards who registered various marks from 1793 to 1816. 

Y&nbspA LATE VICTORIAN BRASS INLAID ROSEWOOD BRACKET CLOCK ON PEDESTALSHARMAN D. 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

A GEORGE II/III EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT AND DIALTHE ARCH WITH A SIGNTURE BOSS ENGRAVED FOR THOMAS PEIRCE, BRISTOL, MID 18th CENTURYThe five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and herringbone border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with scroll-pierced blued-steel hands and twin bird and urn cast spandrels to angles, the arch centred with a silvered boss engraved Thomas, Peirce, Bristol within a concentric foliate band and moulded brass bezel flanked by dolphin and foliate scroll cast mounts, (no lines or pulleys).43cm (17ins) high, 30.5cm (12ins) wide excluding the loose seatboard, 15cm (6ins) deep including crutch. Thomas Pierce is recorded in Moore, A.J. CLOCKMAKERS OF BRISTOL 1650-1900 as the second clockmaker with this name who worked in Bristol 1732-93. He was apprenticed to Joseph Smith in 1732 and first worked from 48 Wine Street 1739-45 and then 57 Corn Street from 1761. The arch of the dial of the present lot shows evidence of originally been designed with apertures for a 'rocking-eye' automaton; these are now mostly filled and concealed behind the signature boss signed for Thomas Pierce. Whether this was executed as a 'rethink' by Pierce at the time of making, or a modification undertaken at a later date, is not known. 

A FRENCH LOUIS STYLE BRASS MOUNTED INLAID BURR WALNUT MINIATURE LONGCASE MANTEL CLOCK UNSIGNED, CIRCA 1900The circular eight-day two train countwheel bell striking movement with platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the backplate stamped with serial number 655, the 3 inch circular cream enamel dial with simulated segmented Roman cartouche numerals and generous Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with scroll-shaped steel hands set behind a hinged moulded cast-brass convex bevel-glazed bezel, the case with cast cockerel surmount to the concave-sided upstand applied to the drum housing the movement, the front with rocaille scroll cast mount enveloping the dial over concave fronted ogee-shaped support decorated with marquetry foliate trail to fascia flanked by acanthus angle mounts, the trunk of slightly bombe-waisted form with brass concave throat moulding over stylised rococo urn and floral scroll inlaid decoration within a scroll-cast applied border to front, flanked by conforming acanthus angle mounts, the burr-veneered sides with further mounts to back edges, the flush rear also burr-veneered and incorporating hinged glazed bezel behind the movement, the serpentine-shaped skirt base with brass ogee top moulding over floral cast swag mount to front flanked by leaf cast decoration to the projecting canted angles, on rococo scroll cast bracket feet.54cm (21.25ins) high, 17cm (6.75ins) wide, 11cm (4.25ins) deep. Condition Report: Movement is not presently running; the platform is a little loose and the mechanism is generally somewhat dirty/gummed-up hence will require a clean and overhaul and possible attention/renewal of the platform. The strike mechanism is working however the bell hammer is currently detached (but is present with the clock). The backplate has a small filled section just beneath the platform suggesting the the movement was originally designed to have a pendulum and then modified for a platform escapement - this was most likely done at the time the clock was made. The dial has very slight enamel chipping to the left hand winding hole and a small edge crack at six o'clock; both of these are only visible on closer examination (hence are not disfiguring). The case is generally in fine condition although the mounts have at some time been cleaned with metal polish hence much of the original gilding is either gone or in now very thin. The veneers are free from notable defects other than a few light historic bumps and scuffs; they are of fine quality and good mellow colour.Clock is complete with a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH LOUIS XVI STYLE ORMOLU MOUNTED WHITE MARBLE MANTEL CLOCKRAINGO FRERES, PARIS, MID 19th CENTURYThe circular eight-day two train countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum incorporating silk suspension, the backplate stamped with RAINGO FRERES, Paris roundel beneath serial number 1328, the circular slightly convex blue-on white enamel Roman numeral dial signed RAINGO F'RES, A PARIS to centre and with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with scroll pierced gilt hands set behind hinged convex bevel-glazed cavetto moulded cast brass bezel, the rectangular case with oval urn surmount issuing twin leafy scroll side handles over laurel cast top moulding, the front with basket-of-flowers centred scroll cast mount beneath the dial and leafy sprays to upper quadrants flanked by bead decorated angles, the sides with generous gilt acanthus draped scrolls and the rear with hinged glazed movement aperture, the breakfronted skirt base applied with interlaced foliate scroll cast mount flanked by rosettes to front and conforming mounts to sides, on bead cast disc feet.30cm (11.75ins) high, 21cm (8.25ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep.  The firm of Raingo Freres was founded in 1813 by the Belgian Zacharie Joseph Raingo. He was born in 1775, lived in Tournai and worked in Ghent before moving to Paris in 1813. By 1834 the company was being run by his four sons who received an honourable mention in an exhibition in Paris that year. While the Raingo brothers were first recognized as clockmakers, in 1841 they added bronzes and furnishings to their products. Known for the quality of their ormolu (gold plating), by 1860, Raingo Freres had supplied clocks, bronzes to Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugenia, examples of which are now in the collection of The Louvre. In 1862 the company exhibited at the International Exhibition in London followed by the world exhibitions of 1867, 1878 and 1889 where several medals were awarded including a gold medal in 1898. Condition Report: Movement is in clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is free from any visible faults or restoration. The case is in very good original clean condition with good even gilding throughout and minimal edge wear to the marble.Generally a fine clock essentially in 'take home'/retail condition and in complete with pendulum and a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Silchester, Hampshire, 1736-56 before moving to Reading where he worked until his death in 1774. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition and appears fundamentally all original. The dial is in good condition with faults limited to a few blemishes to the chapter ring which also has patchy discolouration to the silvering. Movement has later seatboard set on packing pieces indicating that the movement and dial are probably not original to the case. The case presents as being in good visual condition but has replaced backboard and the plinth has been re-faced with plywood fronted by veneers which match the rest of the case very well. Skirt is also a replacement. Clock has a pendulum and weight.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT ANGLAISE RICHE CASED GRANDE-SONNERIE ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH FINE FRETWORK PANELSUNSIGNED BUT WITH SIMILARITIES TO THE WORK OF HENRI JACOT, PARIS, CIRCA 1890The eight-day two train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and sounding the hour every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with silvered platform lever escapement and alarm mechanism positioned to the top left sounding on the smaller gong, the dial with circular white enamel Roman numeral disc incorporating Arabic five minutes to outer track and with blued steel moon hands, set within a fine bright-cut engraved and pierced foliate scrollwork rectangular mask incorporating conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the frosted gilt brass bevel-glazed variant of the Anglaise riche case with reeded baton to the hinged carrying handle over thick top glass, repeat button to front rail, complex moulded cornice and dentil frieze, the angles with fluted three-quarter columns with Corinthian capitals and the sides with fine foliate pierced and engraved frets each incorporating central urn issuing a floral spray set behind bevelled glasses, the rear with pin-hinged glazed door, on generous ogee moulded skirt base with conforming dentil frieze and stepped lower edge incorporating shallow block feet, the underside with Grande Sonnerie/Petit Sonnerie/Silence selection lever; with original tooled Morocco leather covered travelling case.The clock 17.5cm (7.5ins) high with handle down, 11.5cm (4.5ins) wide, 9.5cm (3.75ins) deep. Provenance: Previously sold at Bonhams, London sale of FINE CLOCKS 20th June 2012 (lot 7) for £2,000. Although unsigned, the present clock is of notably fine quality with distinctive silvered platform and engraved fretwork panels reminiscent of those sometimes seen on examples by LeRoy et Fils and E. Maurice and Company; indeed examples by each of these makers, incorporating similar panels, were sold in these rooms on 21st April 2021 (lot 106) and 2nd March 2022 (lot 166) respectively. The scroll-shaped handle and ogee over stepped moulded skirt base are distinctive features which set the present case aside from the standard 'anglaise riche' design which generally incorporate an angular scroll to the handle and plain plinth base. The castings for the base mouldings, however, mirror those on a 'cariatides' case by Henri Jacot illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development on page 172 (Plate VII/24). As this particular variant of 'cariatides' case was favoured by Jacot the presence of these castings on the case of the present clock would suggest a connection to the workshop of Henri Jacot. Interestingly a grande-sonnerie striking clock with an identical pattern of 'cariatides' case to that illustrated by Allix and Bonnert, but housing a movement exhibiting identical details, such as pattern of winding arrow and annotations to the backplate, to the present clock, was sold in these rooms (in partially dismantled condition) 6th October 2021 (lot 111).  Henri Jacot is recorded by Allix as working from 31 Rue de Montmorency, Paris as well as possibly having a factory in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont. The business was awarded Bronze Medals at the Paris 'Exposition' in 1855 and in London 1862; Silver in Paris 1867, 78 and 89 and Gold, again in Paris, 1890. Although Charles Allix notes that Henry Jacot senior died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew of the same name further research by Leigh Extence has revealed that after his death Henri's business was actually continued by his brother Julien who was essentially only 'keeping the bench warm' until his son, and Henri's nephew Albert, was able to take over and move the concern forward in 1874. The business is thought to have continued until around 1920. Condition Report: Movement is complete and appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or with noticeable replacements. Clock is running with the grande-sonnerie striking operating correctly including the selection lever to the base. The alarm is also in working condition. Although in full working condition the movement would probably benefit form a gentle clean and service. The dial appears free from visible damage or other faults. The case is in fine condition with minimal mellowing to the gilding. The glasses are free from visible damage/chips. The underside has a noticeable scratch through part of the strike selectin text and some slight discolouration otherwise is in fine condition. The protective case is structurally sound but has significant wear and losses to the leather covering and wear/fading to interior. The strap handle is also missing as is the slide-in shutter for the front aperture.Clock has a winding/setting key. Condition Report Disclaimer
