A RARE FORGED IRON QUARTER-STRIKING TURRET CLOCK MOVEMENT WITH EARLY VERGE PENDULUM REGULATIONUNSIGNED, PROBABLY CENTRAL ENGLAND, CIRCA 1660-70The three-wheel trains with forged wheels and lantern pinions set end-to end with wooden barrels originally with indirect winding for the centre train flanked by capstans for the two outer barrels, the going train with horizontally pivoted escape crownwheel and perpendicular pallet arbor regulated by the original forged pendulum with an effective length of around thirty inches and with distinctive fluke-shaped bob, the centrally positioned hour-strike train with countwheel cut with teeth to the inside of the rim set in a space behind the adjacent going train pivot bar, with single-arbor warnless lifting via a pin on the quarter train greatwheel to enable the hours to sound after the quarters on the hour only, the quarter train also with single-arbor warnless lifting this time enabled via a nag's head engaging with one of four pins fitted to the going greatwheel, and counting via a slotted rim set next to the greatwheel also fitted with pins for the two hammer levers, both the hour and quarter trains with overlift enabled by hoop wheel each also serving as contrate wheels to drive vertically pivoted flies (lacking on quarter train), the going greatwheel arbor passing through the frame and squared to facilitate take-off for a dial and the side opposing the pendulum with pivoted bell-hammer linkages, the frame with corner posts forged with Gothic ogee mouldings and with swollen circular recessed lapped joints for the upper and lower end rails, the upper and lower cross rails tenoned through the same joint with the various vertical pivot bars joined in a similar manner between, the corner posts surmounted by integral raised polyhedral finials and with decorated buttress feet.The frame 100cm (39.5ins) long, 52cm (20.5ins) wide, 91cm (36ins) high; 107cm (42ins) high overall including the strike train fly. The present lot is particularly interesting in that technologically it is essentially unchanged from the medieval period, yet incorporates a very early pendulum escapement which would have most likely been 'cutting-edge' at the time. Indeed, the transverse (end-to-end) three-wheel layout of the trains, together with the single arbor warnless striking with overlift/locking provided via a hoop wheel, remains essentially unchanged from the that of the Salisbury Cathedral clock (which reputedly dates from 1386). In addition to this, the trains comprise forged iron wheels and lantern pinions, and the frame itself is also joined with tenons and wedges. These features were gradually superseded by brass wheels, forged cut leaves for the pinions and threaded nuts for securing the frame towards the end of the 17th century.Beeson, C.F.C. in ENGLISH CHURCH CLOCKS 1280-1850 suggests (on page 57) that the transition from end-to-end layout for the trains is due to the adoption of the anchor escapement and long pendulum where the sided-by-side configuration is much more practical. From this it would be reasonable to suggest that the present movement was made prior to the wholesale adoption of the anchor escapement during the 1670's. This would certainly seem to be the case when two movements by William Clement are considered. The first is dated 1672 but has end-to-end trains, whilst another, dating to the previous year, was made with trains set side-by-side; suggesting that the end-to-end configuration was essentially being phased out at this time.The positioning of the countwheel between the strike and going trains is also discussed by Beeson on pages 48-52 with many examples noted (but mostly without hoop-wheel overlift/locking). The general trend with regards to dating indicates that this detail was predominant from around 1550-1670 (when end-to-end trains were phased-out), and mostly originate from central/southern England. The layout and decoration to the forged frame also commensurate with clocks made during this period however the use of tenons and wedges is unusual for a 17th century clock, as are the 'lapped' corner joints to the end sections; indeed, this distinctive feature may well assist with attribution if other examples with known provenance can be found. Despite many of the rather archaic features present in the current movement, it does incorporate what appears to be a very early pendulum-regulated verge escapement. Unusually for a pendulum escapement, the escape crownwheel is carried on a horizontal arbor (rather than vertical with pinion driven by a contrate-wheel) with the pallet arbor set at ninety degrees to facilitate the side-swinging pendulum. The positioning of the escape wheel in this manner echoes that of a clock regulated by a foliot, however the present clock has not been converted from balance regulation as there is little room for one above due to the positioning of the vertically pivoted fly for the strike train. In addition to this there is also no space for a vertical pallet arbor lower pivot potence. The geometry of a verge escapement does not lend itself to a long pendulum due to the inherent relatively high amplitude of oscillation pendulum, this is perhaps why the pendulum is relatively short. An interesting detail is the fluke-shaped bob to the pendulum which echoes that illustrated in Huygens' 1673 work Horologium Oscillatorium. Naturally, not many verge pendulum turret clocks with original escapement survive due to the adoption of the much more practical anchor escapement in 1671 (only 12-13 years after the verge). One final detail worth noting is the provision of contrate teeth cut to the rims of the hoop-wheels to drive vertically pivoted flies for the both the hour and quarter strike trains. This would appear to be an essentially unique feature possibly due to the clock being originally installed in a relatively tight location where there was no room for the flies to be positioned on each end of the frame (longer than normal due to the third train). This rather ingenious system would require a fair amount of additional work to execute. Although the present movement is missing some components it does, however, survive in essentially untouched condition with beautifully executed forged wrought ironwork throughout.

PAUL NASH (BRITISH 1889-1946) STUDIO INTERIOR Oil on canvas Signed (lower right) 81 x 39cm (31¾ x 15¼ in.)Painted in 1930.Provenance: Arthur Tooth & Sons Ltd., London Barbara Gibbs and thence by descent Exhibited: London, Arthur Tooth & Sons Ltd., Recent Developments in British Painting, October 1931, no. 4 London, Tate Gallery, Paul Nash, November-December 1975, no. 119 Literature: A. Causey, Paul Nash, Oxford, 1980, no. 668, p1. 493 The present painting forms part of a rare body of work by Paul Nash that solely depicts an interior, without it being a construct for an external landscape beyond. A tall slender jug holds tentacles of dried grasses and flower heads, perched upon a bookcase filled with casually inserted volumes. Before the bookcase a wooden armchair sits semi shrouded in a white sheet and an architect's T Square rests in the corner, throwing a dark shadow of a cross onto the wall behind.Nash had recently incorporated mathematical instruments into Dead Spring, painted in the previous year following the death of his father, who he was very close to. Writing to his friend Gordon Bottomley he confided that "It was a tragic business losing my Dad...As you know I loved him very much...A part of my life goes with him for in so many ways he and I were linked." (A.Causey, Paul Nash, Landscape and the Life of Objects, Farnham, 2013, p.67) In writing about Dead Spring, Causey observes that "A ruler and set square add to the sense that design is about geometry, measurement and control, from which the plant is suffering" (ibid, p.66) and indeed the tension within the painting is created through the strong linear construction juxtaposed to the withering natural curves of the pot plant. The use of similar subject matter correlates to the present work, however the context in which it is used feels altogether more personal. The dry, formalised technique that Nash started to experiment with in 1929 where the brushstroke is disguised, eliminating the presence of the artist's individual hand and thus giving the work a timelessness and in the case of Dead Spring, a memorialising atmosphere, has been used. However, this artistic objectification is conflicted with the intimate private space in Studio Interior. We the onlooker have stumbled on a quiet overlooked corner of this room. The still life is not formally constructed but seemingly happened upon. These are real objects in a real space acutely positioned to create an emptiness in what appears to be a busy studio. Slightly claustrophobic and nostalgic but with an underlying disquiet that is present in Nash's finest works. This painting is reflective but not sentimental. It does not represent or mark a specific moment but rather the conscious inevitability of time passing for us all.   .  Condition Report: Examined under ultraviolet light there is no evidence of retouching. There is general surface dirt throughout. Subject to the above the painting appears to be in excellent original condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

This well sorted MG TC represents the best of post-war light sports cars and still catches the eye. A landmark in the history of MG, the TC was the first British sports car to sell in serious numbers globally, proving a huge success in America where it paved the way for generations of Triumphs, Austin-Healeys and numerous others. Launched in 1945, the TC may have been a mildly revamped version of the short-lived TB, but the formula of traditional sports car styling, sparkling performance and affordability made the latest MG a winner, with some 10,000 examples rolling off the production lines at Abingdon over the next five years. Some useful modifications were made to the TBs suspension, with new shock absorbers and conventional springs in place of the sliding trunnion set-up of the pre-war model. The willing 1,250cc four-cylinder engine produced 54bhp at 5,200rpm, delivered to the rear wheels through a 4-speed gearbox with synchromesh on second, third and top. With its upright radiator, separate wings and a fold-flat windscreen, the MG's steadfastly traditional appearance bucked prevailing styling trends, lacking amenities like bumper bars or even a heater, all of which only seemed to enhance the TCs appeal to hardy sportscar drivers around the world.This charming 1947 MG TC was fully restored between 2002 and 2005 and the quality still shines through, providing the gentle patina that we all admire. The ground-up restoration included blasting the chassis and finishing with a high quality powder coat topped with a new Hutson body tub. At some point the original engine has been replaced with a 1,359cc unit (B9898) and XPAG Engineering carried out a full rebuild on this engine and gearbox. The car is fitted with the improved steering box and updated rear axle seals, and was treated to a four wheel geometry set-up. The interior was retrimmed in tan leather and looks splendid with its original Jaeger instruments and Bluemells sprung wheel and it has a full set of weather equipment including a half-tonneau. It wears a correct Lucas FT27 fog light and the high-level brake light is removeable for the sake of originality. Finished in the best colour for post-war Britain and a timeless design that still cuts the mustard.This well sorted MG TC represents the best of post-war light sportscars and still catches the eye.

Fitted with the Tiptronic S gearbox, elegantly specified as one of the fastest, most luxuriously appointed cabriolets of its day and just 20,100 miles and two owners from new. Perhaps the only modern sports coupé that the vast majority of people could identify without its badge, the Porsche 911 is a uniquely aspirational model for those wanting a reliable daily sports car, a paradox of statement and subtlety. Perfected over generations, each variant of the 911 has met the expectations of the individual and whilst the daily commute in a Carrera was acceptable for some, the 911 Turbo was something special. Refined yet capable of supercar speeds, the evolution of the Turbo came into its own with the 996 generation of the late 1990s and early 2000s, however the circular headlamps were missed and in 2004 they returned with the 997 Carrera.It wasn't until 2006 that the Turbo version was finally revealed, first shown at that year's Geneva Show and initially offered as a coupé with an impressive specification. The Mezger 3.6-litre engine was carried over but now produced 480bhp at 6,000rpm and featured 'VarioCam Plus' and a pair of clever Borg-Warner variable geometry turbochargers, a totally new technology for Porsche. With a manual gearbox, the 997 Turbo requires just 3.9 seconds to reach 62mph and will go on to 193mph, whilst an impressive 3.7 seconds is achievable with deft use of the 5-speed Tiptronic S selector paddles.Power is transmitted to all four wheels with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) which utilises an electronically controlled, multi-plate clutch. This intelligent technology provides variable drive to each axle. The front/rear split is continuously adjusted based on current road conditions and driver inputs and, although biased towards the rear, the front receives more power whenever the situation requires. The May 2007 launch of the Turbo Cabriolet was universally acclaimed, yet it entered a competitive market that ironically it had helped to create, but brand loyalty, due to its reputation for reliability and blistering speed, set the car apart.For some, only a red Ferrari will do, much like a black 911 Turbo would be the obvious choice for many, and questionable colour choices have come in and out of fashion over the years. So we applaud the first owner’s specification of this Turbo Cabriolet in Macadamia Metallic with a Cocoa power-hood above the Sand Beige leather interior and the rare, for a 911, fitment of wooden accents. The Sycamore trim is beautifully finished, a classy addition that is neither ostentatiously Bentley or obviously Jaguar. The copy Bill of Sale to the first of its two owners on 18th September 2007 confirms that the car was to 'look the part' as can be seen in the options, such as the painted front spoiler lip, additional leather and Sycamore trim, crested headrests, stainless-steel door guards and much more, for a total cost of £126,116.The history file is confidence-inspiring and will be complemented by a Porsche main dealer service before the auction, together with a fresh MOT. Presented with some 20,200 miles from new (at the time of cataloguing), and clearly enjoyed for special outings, this motor car is one for the connoisseur.Specification Make: PORSCHE Model: 911 -997 Year: 2007 Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99Z8S786438 Registration Number: GY57 AHV Transmission: Automatic Engine Number: 62801676 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 20200 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: Sand Beige LeatherClick here for more details and images

Private American collection, New York, USA.This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.12065-211002.The box contains an educational set of geometric shapes comprising 120 individual three-dimensional cardboard pieces with printed names and numbers corresponding to the key, arranged in various smaller interlocking configurations. The producer, Louis Dupin de la Gue?rinie?re, was a French civil engineer who began to produce and sell folded models to show the physical properties of polyhedrons. His models were intended not only as educational aids for students of mathematics, but also for those whose work involved perspective drawing, stone-cutting and mineralogy. The sets began production in the 1840s and were a popular study-aid. The present example has an adhesive label in the lid naming the supplier as Crosti of Rue Ste. Catherine, Bordeaux, France.

1973 Jensen Viperceptor Transmission: automaticMileage:2496The Jensen Viperceptor was built in 2013 by Valley Gas Speed Shop in Hampshire with the intention of re-defining what the Jensen Interceptor may have become if it were still in production. Every detail and upgrade was developed, lifted from its past and re-engineered to meet the demands of modern motoring. Described as powerful without being aggressive, luxurious without feeling spoilt and most importantly uniquely handbuilt from the ground-up to give the driver a constant reminder of the definition of luxury from a past era alongside 21st century engineering and looks.The vision of Brook Anderson, who began the project in 2013 with a 1974 Jensen the intention was to build a run of 25 Viperceptors for clients. Alongside the team at Valley Gas Speed Shop in Hampshire he set to work on creating the Viperceptor, two years of work realising this creation with 510hp and 535lb ft of torque from a Dodge Viper 8.3 lire V10. The body was completely stripped of all components before being chemically stripped and new redesigned panels fitted. Other work included the shell seam sealed and waxoyled and a redesigned front valance, rear valance, side skirts, side vents and doors were all fitted direct from the CAD design as were the redesigned inner wings. Due to the new powertrain the bulkhead and transmission tunnel was re-fabricated and a new bespoke design fuel tank added, rounded off with a 3€³ stainless steel exhaust with balance pipe and Borla exhaust boxes. Finishing touches came in the form of modern electrically operated door mirrors, Chrysler 300C angel eye headlights, all black chrome window glass surrounds, de-locked diode-operated doors and impressive new 20€ Wheels.Underneath all the exterior lies the heart of the Viperceptor, the Dodge Viper 8.3 litre engine matched to a four-speed gearbox from a Dodge Ram and independent suspension. At just under 1270kgs and 535 lb·ft of torque, the power we are told is outstanding with the handling well defined and direct. The adapted body is firm and poised compared to the original, which provides confidence of 21st century engineering keeping everything in balance. To achieve this, naturally such a car needs a fair amount of modification to put this power down, slow the V10 monster down and enable modern handling, the brakes are uprated to hi-spec 14½inch vented and slotted discs with six-pot calipers at the front and hi-spec 13½inch vented and slotted discs with four-pot calipers to the rear. The transmission is a four-speed 42RLE automatic gearbox with overdrive, bespoke propshaft, the suspension has been treated to uprated Spax fully adjustable dampers with modified springs, a 2.89:1 Salisbury Powerlock limited slip differential mounted in a new bespoke carrier system with a refurbished independent wishbone system, retained with geometry alterations for increased caster and negative camber anti roll bar. The concept was to deliver something extraordinary, a breathtaking piece of motoring art that also delivers a very unique driving experience.The interior was not to be outdone, with front and rear seats and all other trim items recovered in the highest quality leather hide to new subtle design that was both modern but providing a traditional look, an all-new carpet set with leather edging can be found under your feet whilst looking at the original dashboard recovered in leather but with a redesigned front and rear centre console and new white electronic speedometer and gauges. All of this rounded off with a leather three spoke Mota Lita steering wheel and modern Satnav/MP3 with Bluetooth connectivity.This is not a car that has gone unnoticed, since its creation YouTubers, bloggers and journalists alike have covered the story. The intention from Valley Gas to produce 25-50 of these originally a wealth of information can be found online including footage of the car at the NEC cars show and market reports from Piston Heads. The history file is extensive with bills and details from the builder Valley Gas coupled to recent invoices from them equating to £27,000 for a recommissioning and full service due to the car having been part of a US collection for a number of years. Our vendor states that nothing turns heads quite like this car, he has on more than one occasion been stopped at traffic lights and service stations, chased by YouTubers and videoed at car events. The car is as fast as it is popular and the sound will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. On his most recent visit to Valley Gas he asked the price of recreating such a car and the answer would be in excess of £140,000 plus a donor car in good condition€¦.but followed by the statement that they will not do another which leaves this as the only Viperceptor ever made.

Cartier, a superb Art Deco diamond bracelet, 1920s, designed as a strap, composed of articulated panels of subtle Indo-Persian inspiration, pavé-set with circular- and single-cut diamonds, each centring on an Asscher-cut diamond, weighing approximately 1.25, 1.66, 1.80, 1.65 and 1.45 carats, spaced by open links pavé-set with single-cut diamonds, and pairs of domed links set with single-cut and baguette diamonds, mounted in platinum, total approximate diamond weight 20.00 carats, length 18cm, signed Cartier LondonThe signature on this extraordinary bracelet proudly reads ‘Cartier London’, and exemplifies the superb workmanship produced above the firm’s New Bond Street premises in the interwar period. Cartier London was the firm’s first permanent foreign branch, founded in 1902, in response to demand from members of the British aristocracy, who inundated the Paris branch with commissions in preparation for the upcoming coronation of Edward VII. Edward was himself a key client of Cartier Paris, famously describing them as ‘jeweller of kings and King of Jewellers’, and supposedly personally persuading Cartier to set up a permanent base closer to him in London. Initially, the London branch was established at 4 New Burlington Street, and in 1909 it moved to 175/6 New Bond Street, where it remains to this day, managed from 1906 by Jacques Cartier, one of the three sons of Alfred Cartier. Dividing the world between them, the other two brothers managed the branches in Paris and New York respectively. For the first two decades of its existence, Cartier London was essentially an importer of jewels made by Cartier Paris, but in 1921 this changed. Cartier London brought their manufacturing in house, hiring and rigorously training a team of predominantly British master craftsmen, and establishing the atelier English Art Works Ltd above their store at 175/6 New Bond Street. The late 1920s and 1930s were a highpoint for the London branch, which produced an array of jewels in a self-assured, mature Art Deco style, which retained traces of the firm’s scholarly, colourful exoticism of the 1920s, while moving forwards into the bolder, simpler aesthetic of the new decade, silently glittering with white diamonds. This bracelet shows Cartier’s genius for softening the simple geometry of the Art Deco style with subtle nods to Southern and East Asian decorative arts. The larger links are cut out on each side, and the curving outline created by this negative space ingeniously follows the distinctive stylised floral outline, borrowed from decorative motifs across Mughal, Persian and Chinese decorative arts, that formed a key element of Cartier’s style vocabulary in the Art Deco era. The principal stones of this bracelet would have also been especially sought after at the time: a distinctive 58-facet square emerald cut is known as the ‘Asscher’ cut. It was named after its creator Joseph Asscher, who famously cleaved the Cullinan diamond. With its geometric facet pattern, it was hugely ahead of its time when it became the first patented diamond cut in 1902, the same year that the Cartier family made their groundbreaking decision to found their London branch, and their key London patron was crowned King. Cf.: Judy Rudoe, Cartier: 1900-1939, British Museum, 1997, p. 270, no, 206, for examples of Cartier’s use of these floral motifs, see a pair of earrings made by Cartier London for Viscountess Harcourt in 1924, and nos. 208 and 209 for examples made by Cartier Paris in 1926.
