A PAIR OF REGENCY GILT BRONZE TWIN LIGHT GRIFFIN CANDELABRA EARLY 19TH CENTURY, AFTER THE DESIGN BY SIR WILLIAM CHAMBERS Each with a berried finial, the griffin's head turned slightly 36cm high, bases 16.5cm wide The earliest version of a design for a griffin candelabra dates from the period 1765 - 71 and was drawn by Chambers' assistant John Yenn (d.1821) and is now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum (E.5029.1910). Versions were executed in ormolu most probably by Diederich Nicolaus Anderson (d.1767) and these are possibly the pairs at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, and Hinton Ampner, Hants. The design was refined and then published in Chambers' Treatise on the Decorative Parts of Civil Architecture, 1791. Chambers was almost certainly inspired by the seated figure of a sphinx seen on a sarcophagus while on his Roman tour of 1750-54. In the meantime Chambers lent a griffin candelabra to Matthew Boulton, perhaps regarding him as the natural successor to Anderson and which might have provided the inspiration for Boulton's own griffin vases. He also gave a pearwood model to Josiah Wedgwood, probably the prototype for the versions in jasper and basalt that started to appear around 1771, Wedgwood's own comments to his associate Thomas Bentley indicate that the design or model was given by Chambers. Condition Report: Good, structurally secure, with slight general wear and tear. Some wear and abrasions to the gilding. Both would benefit from a clean. Condition Report Disclaimer

THOMAS GRIGNION LONDON- A GILT BRONZE MANTEL CLOCK IN THE ROCOCO TASTE LATE 18TH/EARLY 19TH CENTURY 3.5" white enamel dial, signed twin fusée movement 36cm high overall, base 24cm wide Provenance: Acquired from Sotheby's, Clocks, 10 May 1990, Lot 324 Condition Report: Movement appears to be early 19th century hence probably later than the case. We have not removed the movement form the case to investigate further. Mechanism is in clean working order; there are spare holes towards the top of the plates suggesting that the movement may well have originally had a verge escapement. The dial has some chipping around the winding holes and some hairline cracking at three o'clock. The hands appear to be replacements. The surround and bezel are of a more copper-gilt tone than the case itself so may be non-original to the case. The case has overall rubbing and oxidation to the gilding otherwise is in sound original condition. The frets appear complete and are of good quality with engraved detail.Clock has pendulum and a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
