Y A WILLIAM IV BOULLE MANTEL TIMEPIECE IN THE LOUIS XV TASTEPAYNE, LONDON, CIRCA 1830The circular four columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the twenty-five piece white enamel cartouche dial with convex centre inscribed Payne, 163 NEW BOND STREET, LONDON within chapter ring with enamel Roman hour numerals within rococo borders and conforming Arabic five minutes to the repeating rosette decorated outer track, with blued steel moon hands set behind hinged convex glazed cast brass bezel, the engraved foliate scroll cut glass and red stained shell veneered case with generous acanthus scroll surmount to the ogee-shaped upstand applied with conforming scroll mounts to angles, over generous shaped crest and panel decorated with delicate symmetrical scrollwork beneath the dial flanked by leafy shouldered mounts to front angles, the scroll-outline sides further inlaid with scrolling foliage and the rear veneered in kingwood incorporating a shaped door, on generous rococo scroll cast feet with leafy apron to front between.47.5cm (18.75ins) high, 26cm (10.25ins) wide, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep. William Payne first worked from 62 South Moulton Street, London from 1816. By 1825 he had moved to 163 New Bond Street with the firm becoming William Payne & Company at that address in 1852. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition although a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised. The mechanism appears free form visible alteration or noticeable replacements between the plates. The pendulum is not original and the evidence in the backplate (spare threaded hole to eh lower margin) suggests that a holdfast clamp was fitted at some point. The movement securing brackets are each lacking one (out of two) screws, and the fusee pivot has noticeable bush inserted within the backplate. The dial centre has some slight chipping around the winding hole as well as some slight scratching to the central ena,el roundel. The 'X' hour cartouche has an enamel chip to lower right hand margin and the '60' minute panel has a very small chip to the left hand edge otherwise enamel appears free form visible damage. The bezel glass is presently loose hence requires fitting (snapping into place?), the bezel itself is rubbed and generally discoloured/tarnished in appearance compared to the case mounts. The case is generally in fine condition with no noticeable losses to the brass marquetry and only slight localised fill repairs to the shell veneers to the right- hand side otherwise faults to the veneers are very much limited to minor movement and age-related blemishes. The mounts are nicely finished and retain their gilding with only very light wear/discolouration. The rear is in good condition with only a very small bruise to the edge of the door evident.Timepiece has a pendulum but no winding 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.

Lot 200
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.
