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.
An Edwardian mahogany grandmother clock, with three train striking movement bearing plaque Grant & Son Edinburgh, striking on twelve gongs and with silvered brass dial, the case with long trunk door and raised on bracket feet. Height 173 cm, width 34.5 cm.The clock come complete with its pendulum. The movement does wind on all three trains and appears to be ticking away and striking when manually advanced. Clearly, we can give no guarantee as to the accuracy of the movement or the strike. The case is in generally good condition with only minor stress fractures to the veneers on the top of the hood. The doors close as they should and are not warped, we have both door keys. There is a winding key with the clock. The movement has a lever to either side of the dial. One appears to be for strike/silent. The other probably alters the chime. We are not sure if this is the case or what the other chime sequence might be. Regards.
A large 19th century tree form glazed planter. Height 120 cm, top diameter 26 cm, maximum width +/- 51 cm (see illustration).The planter is structurally very sound with no apparent major cracks or significant damage. The top lip has some chips and a more significant loss to one side. All other apertures are in generally good condition with only minor nibbles and losses. The main trunk appears to be in good order as is the base. There are numerous old firing fractures and marks but the only real issue is the chip and losses to the top lip.
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.
An oak and metal bound silver chest, with applied brass plaque Lady Eleanor Balfour, with carrying handles to either side. Height 64 cm, width 72 cm, depth 42 cm.The trunk is structurally sound. There is a full width split to the lid across the centre left to right. There is some movement here when pressed but not significantly so. There are other stress fractures to the top also but due to the nature of the metal bindings there is no movement. The sides, front and back of the piece are all in generally good condition with only minor scuffs and blemishes as one would expect. All metalwork is a little rusty to the surface and the top left-hand corner has losses to the corner metal binding. The supporting hinge operates as it should. The interior is simply open with no dividers present. The lock is in place but we have no key. It is not locked. There are numerous nail holes in the top of the trunk.

Provenance:A Private International Collection. John Harris is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers & Watchmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Truro, Cornwall in 1847. Condition Report: Movement is in working condition but would benefit from a gentle clean/service; there is no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. Dial has been restored but most likely replicating the signature to the original. There are some very slight cracks near the dial feet attachment points as well as slight wear around the winding holes and a couple of other very slight surface blemishes. The case has a crack to the wooden dial surround at two o'clock (simple glue repair required), The lower rear edge of the case has a shallow recess to the backboard (from a previous brass hanging plate being attached) - there is some slight veneer wear/cracking around this point as well as to the leading edge of the left-hand side towards the front corner. Case is missing one securing peg and another is non-matching, otherwise faults to the case are very muck limited to minor shrinkage, bumps, scuffs, wear and other age-related blemishes.Timepiece has a pendulum and a winder (no case key required).

A VICTORIAN SCOTTISH CARVED MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKH. CONNEL, GLASGOW, MID 19th CENTURYThe four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch circular white painted Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds and calendar dials and inscribed H. CONNEL, GLASGOW to centre, with blued steel spade hands, the drumhead case with foliate scroll carved crest applied to the hinged moulded glazed dial surround incorporating gilt canted insert to interior, over a stylised foliate carved cradle and half-round lip mouldings, the trunk formed as a hall-oval section tapered fluted Greek Doric column incorporating removable concealed access segment to right hand-side beneath a projecting moulded capital, set on a five-section faceted plinth base fronted with three moulded panels over a canted skirt with bun feet, (dial re-touched).209cm (82.25ins) high, 52cm (20.5ins) wide, 29cm (11.5ins) deep. A Hugh Connell is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Glasgow circa 1860. Condition Report: Movement is in w0rking condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is generally a little dirty/neglected hence a precautionary gentle service/lubrication is advisable if intending to put into long-term service. The dial has been refinished to a good standard with blemishes limited to a loss to the surface behind the centre of the subsidiary seconds hand (only visible on close examination). The movement and dial retains original seatboard which rests at the correct level in the case with no packing beneath the cheek uprights hence we are of the belief that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in sound original condition with faults very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, wear and other light historic blemishes. The side access panel to the trunk is currently locked and we do not have the key.Clock has pendulum (no suspension spring) and two weights only. Condition Report Disclaimer
