George II Black Japanned Longcase Clock by David Lesturgeon, London, 18th Century

A George II astronomical clock by Gandy of Cockermouth dated 1757, with two train striking movement and 14" dial with broad chapter ring with wavy minute band surrounded by an annual calendar and signs of the zodiac.  The arch is considerably more than a semi circle to accommodate the major part of a 24 hour chapter ring which is traversed by the sun and has moving shutters to show sunrise and sunset.  The outer edge of the ring is divided into degrees to indicate the suns amplitude and the inner edge has signs of the zodiac, Cancer through to Sagittarius, on each side.  The arched centre has the remaining signs of the zodiac surrounding a lunar and tidal dial.  All housed in a red walnut case raised on ogee moulded bracket feet, complete with weights and pendulum.   Height 7' 2 1/4".  NOTE:  This complicated clock has been entered for sale form a local estate and its existence in the Cockermouth area has been known by Mitchells for at least the last 40 years.  This is a very important and interesting clock boasting features that rarely appear outside of London. It exhibits great individuality in both design and construction equalling that of many of the principal London makers.  All the more remarkable is that it was made nearly 270 years ago.  The Gandy family were originally of Cockermouth and later Maryport.  The business was started by James Gandy I who was born circa 1700 and who died a pauper in Cockermouth in 1779.  James's eldest son Samuel (1726-1803) and his younger son also James (1730-1793) were the principal clock makers of this name.  This information gleaned from "The Clockmakers of Cumberland" by John B Penfold 1977. The clock is nationally known and is illustrated and discussed in "The Longcase Clock" by Tom Robinson published by The Antique Collectors Club first edition 1981.  The clock is illustrated on page 224, 304 and 306 in the 1981 edition and discussed on page 305 (see illustration).

A George II longcase clock by James Gandy Cockermouth, with marriage dial to John Skiner ad Rebekah Skiner and dated 1741, with two train striking movement and 12" arched dial, the walnut case with long crossbanded and boxwood and ebony strung door, complete with weights and pendulum.  Height 222 cm (see illustration).

A George III oak longcase clock by Robert Leck Jedburgh, with two train striking movement and painted dial. Height including finial 208 cm.

An early 19th century inlaid walnut longcase clock by Nicholson of Whitehaven, with arched hood silvered brass dial and two train striking movement with date aperture and subsidiary seconds dial, with shaped trunk door and all raised on bracket feet. Height 217 cm.The clock is marked W M Nicholson, Whitehaven. The clock hood door has some cracking and replacements to the veneer in the arched section and when opening the door, the internal timber of the frame appears to have been restored at some point.  The movement is currently ticking away and is quite clean. The case is generally in good order but does have some very slight discoloration to the door which is more visible when using a torch but not so much in natural light.   The silvered ring is approximately 28 cm in diameter.  We can see no signs of any woodworm.  The clock comes with winder, pendulum, weights.

A George III inlaid oak and mahogany crossbanded longcase clock by John Foster of Carlisle, with swans neck pediment above the silvered brass dial with two train striking movement and moonphase to the arch with shaped trunk door and all raised on bracket feet. Height 240 cm (see illustration).Unfortunately, the wrong pendulum is with the clock and so we cannot set it up and test, however when the weights around it the movement is running freely, however the minute hand is loose and free moving.  The clock case has the usual wear and tear, splits to the veneer etc, however nothing that is open and some slight losses to the checkering on the right-hand side and the front left-hand foot has a small section of timber missing to the very tip, this being said it is actually quite an attractive clock and just needs a little TLC.

A 19th century Scottish mahogany longcase clock by John Todd Glasgow, with painted dial and spandrels emblematic of the four seasons and with ploughing scene to arch, complete with two weights and pendulum.  Height 215 cm (see illustration).

A 19th century Scottish mahogany longcase clock by John Todd Glasgow, with two train striking movement and spandrels for Burns, Ferguson, Ramsay and Scott, complete with two weights and pendulum.  Height 228 cm (see illustration).

A George III chinoiserie lacquered and simulated tortoiseshell cased longcase clock by John Wosler London, with two train striking movement with date and subsidiary seconds dial, complete with weights and pendulum.  Height 251 cm (see illustration).The movement appears to be original to the dial.  The cheeks of the case have not been altered as far as we can tell, however the seat board is relatively modern.  the mask around the dial is a reasonably good fit.  It is however very difficult to tell whether the case and movement are original to one another.  The bell is detached from the support.  We have a pendulum, however the suspension is the wrong length and must be from a different clock.  We have two weights.  When the weights are applied to the movement the movement does tick.  when the hands are advanced the movement does strike.  The case has clearly had restoration and overpainting in numerous places but does not have any significant issues.  The trunk door closes fairly well and the lock which is present operates.  When the door is viewed from the left-hand side, there is a slight gap between the door edge mould and the case front.  This is not of any major significance.  The backboards are original.

A DUTCH WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY MONTH DURATION LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASE AND ALARMJAN GOBELS, AMSTERDAM, THIRD QUARTER OF THE 18th CENTURYThe five pillar rack striking movement with five- wheel trains and pin-wheel deadbeat escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike train sounding the hours in the Dutch manner both at the hour then again on the half hour on a smaller bell, the right hand side of the plates applied with a transverse alarm mechanism incorporating verge-type crownwheel engaging with a pallet arbor fitted with a T-shaped hammer for sounding on the larger hour bell positioned above the plates, the 13 inch brass break-arch dial with alarm setting disc, subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and ringed winding holes to the scroll engraved 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 Jan Gobels, Amsterdam to lower margin, with scroll-pierced steel hands and cast figural 'four seasons' spandrels to angles within a herringbone engraved outer border, beneath arch incorporating rolling moonphase engraved with age of the moon to the edge of the disc set behind a pair of scroll-engraved lunettes to lower margin beneath a herringbone border to the arch, the case with carved giltwood Atlas and trumpeting nymph figural finials set on the bell-shaped caddy superstructure inlaid with floral trails, over break-arch cornice centred with a foliate carved crest and with blind fret frieze over integral three-quarter columns applied to the foliate trail inlaid hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with break-arch scroll-pieced sound frets within conforming borders and quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with leaf decorated concave throat moulding over break-arch caddy moulded door inlaid with urn set on a pedestal issuing flowering foliate around a central lenticle, with scroll detailed edge mouldings and butterflies to upper quadrants within a chevron band flanked by canted angles decorated with foliate trails, the sides further inlaid with urns issuing bird inhabited foliage, the ogee-shaped plinth base with cavetto cop mouldings, canted angles and overall conforming floral marquetry decoration, on inlaid cavetto skirt base with lions paw front feet.255cm (100.5ins) high excluding finials, 290cm (114ins) high overall; 57cm (22.5ins) wide, 32cm (12.5ins) deep. Jan Gobels is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Amsterdam in 1767. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean condition and appears to be in working order with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The escapement may be a slightly later 'upgrade' however there are no spare holes etc so could well be original. The alarm is complete except for rope line and driving weight. Movement is a little dusty hence a precautionary gentle clean service is advised. Dial is in good clean condition with only slight mellowing to finishes and there is no visible evidence of alteration or notable replacements. The seatboard appears original and rests on cheek uprights of the case with no visible evidence of adjustment hence we are of the belief that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in sound original condition. The finials are intact except for the fingers of one angel which are missing; the wings are currently detached bit present with the clock. There are three holes to the top of the arch moulding suggesting an alternative lower position for the finials or that the clock has other additional finials at some point. There is some lifting to the fretwork in the arch and both hood side frets have been pushed-in a little hence are now bowed with a couple of minor losses. The side panels of the plinth show movement hence opening of the joints to the top edges, there are also some light cracks etc to each. Case otherwise is in very sound original condition with faults very much limited to relatively minor shrinkage, wear, a few age-related bumps and scuffs, some historic consolidation/gluing and other blemishes. The colour is a little dry faded.Clock has pendulum, pair brass-cased weights, crank winding key and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK RICHARD FENNELL, KENSINGTON, CIRCA 1695The four finned and latched pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with plates measuring 6.75 by 5 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 11 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and calendar aperture to the concentric 'button' decorated 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 Rich. Fennell, Kensington to lower margin, with fine scroll-pierced sculpted blued steel hands and applied winged cherub mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles, in a case with ogee moulded cornice and plain frieze over floral marquetry trail decorated hinged glazed dial surround applied with 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, the sides veneered with twin panels within crossbanded borders, the base with stepped ogee top mouldings over conforming rectangular marquetry panel within crossbanded surround, on a moulded skirt base.210cm (82.5ins) high, 47.cm (18.5ins) wide, 25.5cm (10ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection. Inherited by Mr. & Mrs. Curling Hunter, 9, Westbourne Terrace, London, and thence by descent to the vendor. Richard Fennell is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in about 1656 and began his apprenticeship with Matthew Crockford in 1669. He then transferred to Thomas Bagley and finally gained his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company after ten years, in 1679. He is believed to have married Ann Hedderil at St. Duke's Place in 1693 but did not sign the Clockmakers 'oath of allegiance' in 1697. He worked in the outskirts of the city in Kensington and is known for longcase, lantern and table clocks including a small series of miniature brass table timepieces - an example of which was exhibited in the 'Horological Masterworks' Exhibition held at The Museum of the History of Science, Oxford, 29 March - 22 June 2003 (item number 48). Clockmakers Company records suggest that he was in arrears for his quarterage in 1705 and is believed to have worked in Kensington until at least 1715. Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition having the appearance of being recently cleaned/serviced. There is no visible evidence of alteration or obvious replacements with the exception of the escapement pallets which are probably 'service' replacements. The backplate has some punch marks around the pivot holes to tighten them as well as at the location of one of the movement pillars where it is interference fitted to the backplate. The dial is in good condition with some mellowing to the silvering evident. The minute hand is a replacement and the hour has been repaired. The movement is fitted with a replacement seatboard however it rests directly onto the cheek uprights of the case with no visible evidence of adjustment to the latter hence we are inclined to believe that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is generally in relatively untouched original condition and of good colour. The hood has a replacement top board (but no evidence of ever being fitted with a caddy superstructure) and the front frieze would have almost certainly been faced with fretwork (is veneered in walnut). The hood columns are also replacements. The rear top cornice mouldings have been cut at an angle to rear (to allow the case to stand in the corner of a room) otherwise faults are limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and couple of small veneer repairs commensurate with age and use. The front glass has a crack to the lower right-hand corner and the left hand glass is also cracked. The trunk and base are generally in sound original condition. The throat moulding has bumps/chips to the rear left-hand corner and a corresponding small veneer patch to the left. The clamp to the top of the trunk door is dislodged but still just attached and leaning forward due to movement of the crossgrain edge mouldings. There are some localised losses to the marquetry along the join of the crack. The lower clamp has a crack along the join and the joint is loose (but no significant losses to the marquetry) and there is general lifting/curling to the edge mouldings. The plinth appears to retain its original structure and veneers but with additional blocks etc glued to the inside to brace the structure; the skirt is a later addition. The front has a horizontal crack albeit with minimal losses. Otherwise faults to the case are limited to relatively minor historic bumps, scuffs, bruises, shrinkage, wear and a couple of minor localised veneer repairs.Clock has pendulum, two weights and a crank winder, but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCKTHE MOVEMENT AND DIAL BY EDWARD BILBIE, CHEW STOKE, CIRCA 1770, THE CASE CIRCA 1800The posted countwheel bell striking movement with column-turned corner uprights and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with rose and thistle decorated calendar aperture beneath applied bell motif to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral silvered chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed E. Bilbie, Chewstoke to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hands and the angles applied with fine female mask centred leafy scroll cast spandrels, in a swan neck pedimented case with hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by fixed free-standing columns and the sides with shaped vertical bargeboards applied to the rear edges, the trunk with concave throat moulding over rectangular caddy moulded door flanked by canted angles, on plinth base with conforming top moulding over panel-outlined front and moulded skirt incorporating shaped apron to lower edge (presently detached).208cm (82ins) high, 48cm (19ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) deep.  Edward Bilbie I is recorded in Moore, A.J THE CLOCKMAKERS OF SOMERSET 1650-1900 (Appendix vii) as born 1666 and probably working from circa 1695 as he is thought to have learnt the clockmaking trade from Edward Webb who died in 1694; by 1698 he had certainly become established in Chew Stoke as a bellfounder. Edward Bilbie had two sons, Edward II (born 1694) who assisted his father but unfortunately died within six months of his father in 1725, and Thomas (born 1702) who inherited his father's business in 1725 and worked until 1768. Edward II had a son who he also named Edward (III - born circa 1715), who is thought to have been brought up by his uncle Thomas, and worked alongside him until around 1768. The present clock would have been made by Edward Bilbie III; the applied bell motif to the dial centre is an interesting feature which may be a nod towards the family's bell-founding heritage. Condition Report: Movement appears to be in sound condition with no visible evidence of alteration or notable replacements. There is nothing to indicate that the movement will not run and strike once set-up however as it is a little dirty/neglected and precautionary gentle service is advised if intending to put the clock into long term use. The dial has a slight backwards bend to the upper right corner (should be straightforward to bend back) otherwise is in sound condition with overall light to moderate discolouration/mellowing to the finishes. The case is most likely later than the movement and dial and is in original unrestored condition. The hood has shrinkage cracking to the pediment and is little loose in the joints. The trunk and base are again a little loose/dry in the joints and the skirting for the plinth id presently detached. The trunk door lock is also missing. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to relatively minor bumps, scuffs and shrinkage.Clock has pendulum and weight but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A QUEEN ANNE EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT WITH TEN-INCH DIAL SAMUEL WORLEY, STARTON, CIRCA 1710The five pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement for regulation by a seconds pendulum, the 10 inch square brass dial with ringed winding holes to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed Simon, Worley, Starton, Fecit to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hands and unusual winged cherub, Lambrequin and foliate scroll cast spandrels to angles, (no seatboard pendulum, weights or pulleys).28cm (11ins) high including the bell, 15cm (6ins) deep.  Samuel Worley is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as working in Starton (believed to be Staverton, Wiltshire), circa 1700-1720. 

A QUEEN ANNE EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT AND DIALTHOMAS CARTWRIGHT, LONDON, CIRCA 1710, IN A LATER MAHOGANY CASEThe five finned pillar inside rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and foliate scroll border engraved calendar aperture 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 Tho Cartwright, Royal Exchange, Londini fecit to lower margin, with pierced steel hands and applied twin cherub and crown cast spandrels to angles within an wheatear engraved outer margin, now in a later 18th century mahogany case with cavetto cornice over rectangular glazed dial aperture flanked by free-standing columns with brass caps and bases, the sides with arch-glazed apertures and bargeboards to the rear edges, over concave throat moulding and caddy moulded break-arch door to trunk, on plinth base with stepped ogee top mouldings and moulded skirt incorporating bracket feet.204cm (80.25ins) high, 50cm (19.75ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) deep. Thomas Cartwright is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as being born circa 1679. He was apprenticed to Christopher Gould in 1693 gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1700; he reputedly died in 1741. The movement of the current lot is noteworthy in that it employs an internal rack for the striking mechanism - a feature normally reserved for high quality or month movements by the better makers. This feature perhaps demonstrates the influence of Cartwright's master, Christopher Gould, in his work.  

A GEORGE III OAK CASED THIRTY-HOUR HOODED WALL ALARM TIMEPIECEHENRY WARBURTON, WOLVERHAMPTON, CIRCA 1760The four pillar single-handed movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, and external alarm mechanism planted on a steel plate secured to the right-hand side of the movement sounding via a vertically pivoted hammer on a bell set above the plates, the 6.5 inch square brass dial with silvered Arabic numeral alarm setting disc to the delicate leafy scroll centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fine leaf engraved half hour markers and signed Henry, Warburton, W:hampton to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hand and conforming triangular baton and cruciform motif decorated foliate engraved infill to the spandrel areas, the hood with architectural ogee and cavetto moulded cornice over hinged glazed dial aperture applied with turned three-quarter Doric columns to front angles, the sides with conforming quarter columns set against the rear edge, over slender half-round chin moulding, the bracket with seatboard supported on two stepped ogee-profile side supports applied to a rectangular backboard; together with a later purpose-made floor-standing 'longcase' stand, probably early to mid 20th century, with concave throat moulding over rectangular door centred with a small glazed lenticle and with half-round edge mouldings to trunk, over plinth base with concave top moulding and bracket feet.The hooded wall case 53.5cm (21ins) high, 30cm (11.75ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep; as a longcase 166.5cm (65.5ins) high, 31.5cm (12ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep overall. Henry Warburton is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Wolverhampton 1760-72. The later longcase-type floor standing base included in the current lot appears to have been purpose-made to allow the timepiece to be presented as a miniature longcase clock, by simply slotting the hooded wall case into the top of the trunk. Condition Report: The movement is in good original condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is essentially in working condition however is generally a little dirty/neglected hence would benefit from a gentle clean/lubrication. The dial plate is a little distorted/bent but appears free of problematic creases or cracks. The silvering is in good condition with minor oxidation only. The hooded case is in very good original condition and of particularly nice colour with faults very much limited to slight wear and shrinkage. The seatboard is original but has some historic worm damage (not active and non-structural). The later trunk/plinth is in good condition with faults limited to minor shrinkage, edge rubbing to the finish and other minor age related blemishes. Clock has pendulum (as well as a spare rod and suspension spring), and weights for both the going and alarm trains. Condition Report Disclaimer

A QUEEN ANNE WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKJOHN DREW, LONDON, CIRCA 1705The six finned and latched pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with plates measuring 7.5 by 5 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and herringbone border engraved calendar aperture to the finely 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 Jn'o Drew, Johnfons Court, Fleet Street, London to lower margin, with scroll-pierced steel hands and applied gilt twin cherub and crown cast spandrels to angels incorporating fine leafy trail engraved infill to margins between, in a case with stepped superstructure, ogee cornice and plain frieze over floral marquetry trail decorated hinged glazed front and rectangular side windows, the trunk with concave scrolling floral trail inlaid throat moulding over 42 inch rectangular door centred with a glazed lenticle and overall decorated with bird inhabited scrolling foliate marquetry designs within a continuous overlapping leaf banded border, crossgrain edge mouldings and a further leaf banded surround, the sides veneered with two line-outline panels within crossbanded borders, the base with ogee top mouldings over conforming rectangular marquetry panel within crossbanded surround, on later moulded skirt.234cm (92ins) high excluding finials, 50cm (19.75ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep. John Drew is recorded in Loomes, Brain The Early Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born around 1663 and apprenticed to Joseph Knibb for eight years from September 1676 until 1684. He worked out of a shop in Johnson Court, on Fleet Street and is believed to have married Eleanor Ferentine in 1688. John Drew took-on eight apprentices during his career none of which appeared to continue in the trade. He signed the Clockmakers 'oath of allegiance' in 1697 and, in 1712, was appointed Beadle of the Company, taking over from the deceased Richard George, an engraver who had held the position for over a decade. The official description of a Livery Beadle's duties was to attend every official Livery function, maintain the peace during meetings, look after robes, etc. Unofficially, at this time, the role was usually given as a source of income to members who had fallen on hard times. He was succeeded as Beadle on his death on 1713 by Christopher Gould, and his wife continued receiving charity from the Company until her death in 1715.   Condition Report: Movement is complete with no visible evidence of alteration and noticeable replacements limited to the escape wheel and pallets which apperar to be historic renewals probably due to wear. The mechanism is somewhat dirty/dusty hence a gentle clean/service is required however pinion wear appears light and the pivots reasonably tight hence there is nothing to suggest that it won't run after a gentle clean/lubrication. The backplate shoes evidence of some historic punch/hammering around the pivots to tighten them at some point. The dial is generally in good relatively clean condition with only relatively light to moderate oxidation/discolouration. The top left spandrel is lacking it's crucifix at the apex and the hands are replacements otherwise dial is free from notable faults. The movement is fitted with a replacement seatboads and rests on later blocks applied to the case side uprights (cheeks), hence it id most likely that the movement and dial are not original to the case. The hood is in sound condition however is lacking the dome caddy superstructure; the plinth/upstand for the dome is present/ The columns and bargeboards are missing and the frieze frets have been replaced by veneer. The top board and panel backing the rear of the frieze/superstructure are replacements. Otherwise faults to the hood are limited to a few small chips/losses to the cornice veneers and mouldings as well as some historic worm damage (long gone). The trunk is in very good original condition with no noticeable losses or restoration marquetry of the throat moulding and door; the lock is a replacement. The door surround has some shrinkage to the corners as well as a few small localised veneer losses (but not to the herringbone banding). The sides are very slightly bowed but are otherwise in good condition with some slight shrinkage, minor bumps and scuffs and other age-related blemishes. The lower half of the box base has been restored/rebuilt indicating that the case was cut down at some point. The restored marquetry has darkened more than the original hence can probably be made less obvious through careful colour blending. There are horizontal shrinkage cracks to both the front and sides; the sides have been re-veneered. The skirting is a 20th century addition. The backboard/structure of the case are in good solid condition but some the original structure has been lost at the base (when the base was reduced). Faults to the case are otherwise limited to age-related bumps, scuffs, some historic worm damage and other age-related blemishes. Clock has pendulum (suspension spring broken), two brass-cased weights (20th century), case key and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE AND RARE GEORGE III SMALL SATINWOOD BANDED MAHOGANY LONGCASE REGULATOR OF ONE-MONTH DURATIONTHOMAS WRIGHT, LONDON, CIRCA 1785-90The substantial six knopped pillar movement with thick plates incorporating rounded upper angles measuring 7.75 by 5.5 inches, enclosing a five-wheel train with Harrison's maintaining power, five-spoke wheel crossings and terminating with a Graham-type deadbeat escapement, regulated by large lenticular bob seconds pendulum with T-bar suspension, Hindley-type cranked crutch arrangement and Wright's patent stirrup-frame type compensation to the bob, incorporating a pair of horizontal bimetallic bars, calibrated rating nut and a secondary small spherical fine-adjustment bob beneath, the 10 inch heavy-gauge silvered brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds and signature over conforming Roman numeral hour dial to centre, within outer minute ring incorporating Arabic five minute annotations, with blued steel hands beneath a shallow semi-elliptical arch signed WRIGHT, the heavy satinwood crossbanded case constructed in the manner of Gillows with shaped panel upstand to the moulded swan-neck pediment, over break-arch architrave and glazed hinged dial aperture with crossbanded border to the frame and flanked by crisply executed free-standing fluted Roman Doric columns, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures and half columns applied adjacent to the rear edge, the trunk with concave throat moulding and plain frieze over ogee-break-arch door fronted with flame-figured veneer within a satinwood border and astragal edge moulding, flanked by tall fluted full Roman Doric columns set on banded plinths, the plinth base with stepped ogee top moulding over conforming shaped crossbanded astragal-bordered panel to fascia and ogee bracket feet. 216cm (85ins) high, 46cm (18ins) wide, 26cm (10.25ins) deep. Literature:Illustrated in Symonds, R.W. A Book of English Clocks page 79 (Plates 68B and 70). The inside of the door applied with a manuscript table (to assist with the regulation the timepiece from astronomical observations) further inscribed in ink;The stars make 36 revolutions from any point in the universe to the same point again in 365 days & one minute and therefore they gain a 365th of a revolution in every 24 hours of mean solar time, near enough for regulating any clock or watch. This acceleration is at the rate of three minute and fifty-five seconds, fifty three thirds, fifty nine fourths, in twenty four hours or in the nearest round number three minutes fifty six seconds, by which quantity of time every star comes round sooner than it did on the day before.With further note beneath:This timepiece was purchased from Miss Wright, daughter of the maker Mr. Wright Watchmaker to the King George the third. G. Hurt bought this clock in September 1795 for twenty guineas. Thomas Wright was born in London in 1736 and gained his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1770. He was a gifted watch and clockmaker who was appointed 'watchmaker to the King'; with a fine Matthew Boulton blue john and ormolu-cased quarter chiming table clock being one of his Royal Commissions - which resides at Buckingham Palace (see Jagger, Cedric ROYAL CLOCKS page 98, Plate 134). In 1781 Thomas Earnshaw sought Wright's opinion with regards to his design of detached watch escapement. Wright subsequently commissioned a watch incorporating the design from Earnshaw, which he then put on test for a year. The results were clearly impressive as Wright then assisted Earnshaw by overseeing the patenting of the design with his payment agreed in the form a royalty of one guinea per watch made with the escapement. The Patent (No. 1354) was granted on 1st February 1783 and interestingly also included the ingenious design of compensated pendulum bob employed in the present timepiece. Thomas Wright died in 1792 it is highly likely that the present regulator was in his possession at that time and was passed down to his daughter. In addition to the quality of the movement, dial and the innovative pendulum, the case is also notable in its quality - particularly in the crispness of the carving to the columns and mouldings. Indeed, the general design would appear to have more in common with the northern school of case makers (certainly with regards to the treatment of the pediment) hence it there is a possibility be that Wright may have ordered it from one of the leading north country case makers. The obvious candidate that springs to mind would be Gillows of Lancaster, and indeed the quality of the cabinet work would certainly add weight to this thought. One interesting feature the case has which further points towards an attribution to Gillows is the planting of half columns towards the rear edges of the hood, as it is known that Gillows preferred to use half columns rather than quarters to dress the rear edge.

A WILLIAM III MONTH DURATION LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT AND DIALGEORGE ETHERINGTON, LONDON, CIRCA 1695-1700The six finned and latched pillar bell striking movement with high-position external countwheel and anchor escapement for regulation by a seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, scroll decorated calendar aperture and ringed winding holes to the finely matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with sword hilt half hour markers, small Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track and signed Geo. Etherington, London to lower margin, with elaborate scroll pierced steel hands, the angles applied with winged cherub and foliate scroll cast spandrels incorporating foliate scroll engraved infill to margins between, (no pendulum or weights).31cm (12.125ins) square, 14cm (5.5ins) deep including seatboard.  George Etherington is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as being made a Free Brother of the Clockmakers' Company in 1684 having previously being apprenticed to Robert Rooksby possibly in Newcastle-on-Tyne or York. In 1689 he moved from the 'Dial in Fleet Street' to 'against the New Church in the Strand', London. In 1697 he signed the Oath of Allegiance and became an Assistant of the Clockmakers' Company in 1701, Warden in 1706 and finally Master in 1709. He attended until at least 1720 and is thought to have died in 1729. 

A COLLECTION OF SIXTEEN LONGCASE AND LANTERN CLOCK BELLSLATE 17th CENTURY AND LATERThe largest measuring 15cm (6ins) in diameter. 

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH CONCENTRIC CALENDARUNSIGNED, PROBABLY LONDON, CIRCA 1800The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch circular convex cream painted Roman numeral dial with concentric date-of-the-month within the chapter ring and Arabic fifteen minutes beyond the outer minute track, with pierced steel hands and brass calendar pointer, the break-arch case with concave-sided upstand over cavetto moulded cornice and opening front fitted with a cast brass cavetto moulded convex glazed bezel and incorporating recessed panel infill to the arch and lower quadrant areas, flanked by brass stop-fluted canted angles and with circular panels to sides, the trunk with concave throat moulding over break-arch flame figured door edged with complex mouldings and flanked by brass stop-fluted quarter columns with brass caps and bases, on plinth base with cavetto top moulding over shaped raised panel and double skirt incorporating shaped apron flanked by bracket feet.226cm (89ins) high, 54cm (21.25ins) wide, 26cm (10.25ins) deep. Condition Report: Movement appears complete with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. Although in slightly dirty/neglected condition there is nothing to suggest that the movement would not run once a gentle clean/service has been done. The plates have evidence of previous re-bushing. The dial has been refinished but a while ago; there is some general edge wear and chipping and slight wear but otherwise is generally in good condition. The movement is fitted to an old but probably not original seatboard which rests on the side uprights of the case at the correct level with the cheeks appearing undisturbed - from this we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is generally in sound condition but requires mostly cosmetic attention. The concave pyramid upstand has opened at the joints and there is some front-to-back shrinkage to the curved top panel. The right-hand side of the hood is missing the circular panel and moulded surround (leaving a circular aperture); the left-hand side has its panel, the moulding is detached but present with the clock. The hood door has a very slight warp causing the arch section to project forwards slightly (not really noticeable when the door is closed). The finials are not original otherwise hood is in sound original condition. The trunk and base are also generally in sound original unrestored condition. The trunk door has a slight bow apparent at the lower edge, the door lock is a replacement with the tongue extended; we do not have a key to retract the tongue hence cannot currently close the door flush. The base has some shrinkage cracking to the timber, slight wear to front angles and the left-hand skirting is loose and the right-hand side lower section of skirting has been trimmed back by around 15mm to the rear edge; otherwise is in sound condition. The backboard has a vertical crack (from a butt joint between the sections becoming unstuck) applied with tape. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use. The surface is generally untouched hence uneven but appears free from awkward patch repairs etc.Clock has pendulum, pair of cast iron weights but no case key or winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH TEN-INCH DIALJAMES MARKWICK, LONDON, CIRCA 1695The six finned and latched pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with slender tall plates measuring 7.375 by 5 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 10 inch square gilt brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the finely matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, small Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed Jacobus Markwick, Londini to lower margin, with fine sculpted scroll-pierced steel hands and applied gilt winged cherub mask and scroll cast spandrels to angels incorporating leafy trail engraved infill to margins between, the case with ogee moulded cornice and fretwork frieze over floral marquetry trail decorated hinged glazed dial surround applied with Solomonic twist-turned three quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with convex throat moulding over 42 inch rectangular door centred with a circular brass-framed lenticle and with three shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and scrolling foliage into an ebonised ground within applied half-round crossgrain edge mouldings, the sides veneered with two line-outline panels, the base with stepped ogee top mouldings over conforming rectangular marquetry panel within crossbanded surround, on bun feet.197cm (77.5ins) high, 46cm (18ins) wide, 27cm (10.5ins) deep. James Markwick senior is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as apprenticed in 1656 to Edmund Gilpin (through Richard Taylor); he initially worked at Croydon before returning to London where he gained his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1666. In 1673 he took-over the former business of Samuel Betts at behind the Royal Exchange. Markwick had a turbulent relationship with the Clockmakers' Company - in 1676 he was fined for abuse of the Master at the Steward's feast and was often reprimanded for not attending court. James Markwick junior was born in Croydon in 1662 and was apprenticed to his father gaining his freedom (by patrimony) in 1692. He initially went into partnership with his father before gaining outright control of the business on the latter's retirement to Pevensey in Sussex in around 1700 (where he subsequently died in 1716). In around 1710-15 James Markwick junior went into partnership with Robert Markham which lasted until the former's death in 1730. The business was subsequently continued by Markham and his successors and specialised in producing clocks and watches for export to the Middle East. Condition Report: Movement is in fine clean fully working condition having been given a gentle service prior to consignment. There is no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements and there is minimal pinion wear evident. Some of the pivot holes have slight punching (historic repair to counter wear) and the top left of the backplate has two vacant threaded holes for a bracket to secure the movement into the case - the bracket is no longer present although there is a steel counterpart secured to the case backboard at the appropriate height. The bottom two pillars are very slightly bent in a downward curve from tightening the movement onto the seatboard. The front of the dial plate has been regilded however appears free form any visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements and faults limited to some oxidation spotting and light patchy discolouration to the chapter ring, and a repair to the minute ring. The movement rests on an old seatboard which sits directly on the cheek uprights of the case with no apparent evidence of alteration and in-line with a scribed-line to the case backboard. This would suggest that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in very good original condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant restoration/replacements. The hood top board may be an old replacement and the fret to the frieze is most likely a restoration, otherwise the hood appears to be in fine original condition with faults limited to historic movement and shrinkage to the cross-grain mouldings and veneers. The hood appears to have been originally made with a front door - there is no evidence to suggest that it has been converted from a rising hood with fixed front. The trunk and base are in similar condition with the backboard retaining its original height with splitting to both the upper and lower sections which may benefit from being secured. The trunk door has had fillet repair to hinge side of the panel at the rear which continues for the full height between the upper and lower 'clamps'. This in most likely to address historic worm damage to the edge of the board as evidence some of this is visible just beyond the join in places. The door veneers are in good condition having only one small loss (to the ebonised ground only) towards the lower margin at the join between the clamp and the vertical section of board forming the trunk door. There is also some small localised repairs to the marquetry along the rest of this joint and to the corresponding joint at the top of the door (but to a much lesser degree). The sides have noticeable slight bowing, a few minor veneer patch repairs to rear edge and some cracking/movement to the veneers. The case appears to retain its original structure veneers except for some replacement to the fascia crossbanding to the lower left-hand corner. The right-hand side has a horizontal crack and there are small patch repairs to the lower front corners. The carcass of the box has horizontal joins in the front and side panels about an inch up from the lower surface - however the backboard continues down past these joints and the veneers appear largely undisturbed hence we are inclined to believe that the slips forming the lower edge of the front and sides of the box carcass are an original feature. The bun feet are replacements and there is historic evidence of past minor worm infestation which has long gone. Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age, The colour is generally good but would benefit from a little attention from a furniture finisher to revive it a little.Clock is complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, two case keys and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE AND RARE CHARLES II EBONISED TABLE CLOCK OF THE 'EDWARD EAST' SCHOOLWILLIAM CRAYLE, LONDON, CIRCA 1665-1700The substantial twin fusee movement with plates measuring 8.25 by 7 inches united by six heavy double-knopped pillars pinned through the frontplate and secured with large cross-headed steel screws to the rear, and an additional seventh square-section pillar secured in a similar manner to the centre at the base, the trains with large diameter barrels incorporating pinned flanged caps and fat fusees, the going with reinstated verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum incorporating knife-edge suspension to the single-footed backcock, the strike train with external rosette-centred numbered countwheel set on the fusee arbor, distinct cocked external locking detent and sounding the hours on a vertically orientated bell supported above the plates via an unusual serpentine-shaped stand screwed to the frontplate, the 8 inch square fire-gilt brass dial engraved with a central nine-petal rose bloom within a concentric band of intense tulip and other flowering foliage alternating with matted infill and incorporating a burnished pendant panel signed William Crayle, Londini at six o'clock, within applied narrow silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with very small stylised wheatear half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll-pierced sculpted blued steel hands and the spandrel areas finely engraved with a symmetrical arrangement of radial leafy tulip blooms flanked by foliate floral sprays filling the quadrants continuing to meet and provide infill to the margins around the chapter ring between, the rectangular case finished with thick hand-cut ebonised veneers with substantial tied foliate bud cast hinged carrying handle to the flat top, within projecting cushion edge mouldings painted in various shades of brown to simulate repeating acanthus marquetry over complex moulded cornice moulding, plain frieze and conforming tightly cut architrave painted with a band of laurel leaves, the hinged front panel with glazed dial aperture opening to reveal veneered mask bordering the dial, the sides with tall rectangular windows and the rear with rectangular glazed door set within the frame of the unveneered flush fascia, on quarter-round and fillet moulded skirt base further painted with a larger band of laurel leaves to front and sides over bun feet.41cm (16.25ins) high with handle down, 28cm (11ins) wide, 16cm (6.25ins) deep.Provenance:The property of a private collector. Previously Sold at Christie's New York sale of THE CONNOISSEUR'S EYE - PROPERTY FROM THE ABBOTT-GUGGENHEIM COLLECTION 2nd June 2015, Lot 254, for $22,500.William Crayle is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as probably the son of Richard Crayle. He was a watchmaker and a member of the Blacksmiths' Company in 1651, who took an apprentice, John Chatfield, in 1659; and another, Thomas Penn, in 1661. Loomes records his marriage to Elizabeth Alkin at St. Peter Paul's Wharf in 1658 and note that he was working in Fleet Street in 1662. The London Gazette posted in their 13th July 1676 issue a reward notice for a lost watch referencing 'Mr. William Crayle a Watchmaker at the Black Boy in the Strand, near the Savoy', and in 1683, his daughter, Francis, was married to William Rymer at St. Mary Savoy. He did not sign the oath of allegiance in 1697 so is thought to have died by then; although a watch signed 'William Crayle in Fleete Street, London' was raffled by Andrew Brown in Edinburgh the following year. Loomes notes that only one or two watches by him survive, hence it is most likely that the present clock is the only example by him known.The dial engraving of the current clock is amongst the finest that is likely to be seen on a clock of this date and can be closely compared to that seen on an important early architectural longcase clock (in an oyster laburnum case) by Edward East which was sold at Christie's, London sale of PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF A NOBLEMAN 23rd May 2012 (lot 350) for £313,250. The intense but symmetrically laid-out tulip engraving to the spandrel areas are very close in their composition and are clearly executed by the same hand. The engraved signatures also match stylistically (most evident in the script for 'Londini'). Two others dials for clocks by Edward East, also exhibiting closely related engraving, are illustrated by Richard Newton in his article Dismantling the 'East School' - Edward East and the clock trade in seventeenth-century London printed in the June2024 issue of ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY (pages 176-196) on pages 181 (Figure 7) and 182 (Figure 8). In the footnotes for the text (14) Richard Newton indicates that, with the exception of one anonymous example, this type of engraved spandrel pattern appears unique to Edward East. The engraved central rose and foliate ring decoration to the matted centre also appear in dials by makers of the 'East School', most notably for a clock by Samuel Haley illustrated by Newton on page 177 (Figure 1.).The layout of the movement with symmetrical arrangement of seven pillars, large flanged spring barrels and fat fusees can be compared to a grouping of three clocks (two by John Hilderson and the example by Samuel Haley) illustrated by Newton on pages 177-78 (figures 2 and 4). The principal differences between this group and the present lot are the design of pillars used in the movement, and the positioning of the countwheel on the end of the strike fusee arbor (rather than towards the top right-hand corner of the backplate). Richard Newton surmises (for reasons outlined on page 179) that movements of this type are most likely to have been made in the Hilderson workshop, with some supplied to Edward East and other makers for finishing and retail. John Hilderson died of the plague in 1665, hence it is thought that some of his unfinished movements may have formed the basis of a few 'hybrid' clocks completed by East shortly thereafter (see Newton page 181 and Figure 7). The presence of a centrewheel (rather than remote 'floating' motionwork for the hands) would suggest that the present lot is more akin to this category of 'hybrid' clock, but completed by William Crayle rather than Edward East.The unusual design of the movement pillars of the present movement, coupled with the method of fixing via pins at the front and large steel screws at the rear, is unusual but not unique. Indeed a table clock engraved with signatures for Edward East (in a later case) incorporating square-section double-baluster pillars affixed in this manner, was sold at Hutchinson Scott The New Year Fine Interiors Auction 24th January 2025 (lot 1119). From this it may be appropriate to suggest that for some ex-Hilderson workshop clocks, the movement pillars were substituted prior to completion, perhaps in order for the maker to add some of their own individuality to the movement.The case of the present clock is interesting in that it has a flush back and has no veneers applied. The flush rear is a feature seen on the earliest architectural table clocks by Edward East and others (see Dawson, P.G., Drover, C.B. and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks pages 154, Plate 201; 158 Plate, Plate 206, and 160 Plates 207 and 209). Continue reading ...
