end of the 18th century | height: 29 cm | country: France | provenance: private pharmacy museum | Albarello faience pottery | This slender apothecary jar dates from the 18th century and is made of earthenware. The inscription "R. Bistort' refers to the root of the snakeroot plant (Polygonum bistorta), which was commonly used in medicine at the time, especially in the treatment of digestive problems and inflammation. The vessel is decorated with hand painting in typical baroque colors, while the main decoration is a delicate medallion, surrounded by ribbons and plant motifs that add elegance and grace. The upper and lower parts of the container are lined with stylized geometric motifs that complement the overall design. This type of container was used in pharmacies to store dried herbs and medicinal products and at the same time served as a representative element of the pharmacy interior. | condition: good | Bidders are requested to inquire about the condition of the lot prior to the auction.

R. Taylor, an early 19th-century 8-day oak long-case clock, the painted broken arch dial bearing the portrait of Queen Caroline, the hood with swan neck pediment, 47 cm wide x 25 cm deep x 220 cm overall height.Formerly of Donnington Castle House, near Newbury, Berkshire Formerly of Donnington Castle House, near Newbury, Berkshire The glass of the hood is cracked. There are no weights or pendulum, so not in working order.Updated:The movement looks very clean and looks as if it has been recently restored and re-gutted.The cheeks that support the movement are uneven. It would seem that a packing block is missing from the right-hand side. This causes the dial to sit awkwardly in the hood/mask. It is common for these to be replaced.The hood door has a cracked glass panel, the clock has some patches to the veneers.The trunk door does not have a key.The clock does not have either weights or a pendulum.In short this clock would need some work to make good but it looks as if most of the horological work has been done, but sadly it will require a pendulum and weights.
