A WILLIAM III/QUEEN-ANNE WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK JOSEPH WINDMILLS LONDON, CIRCA 1700-05 The six finned and latched inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 11 inch square gilt brass dial with subsidiary seconds, ringed winding holes and conforming calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword-hilt half hour markers and signed J. Windmills, London to lower margin, the angles applied with twin cherub and crown spandrels with foliate scroll engraved infill to the plate between, the case decorated with floral and foliate marquetry and with caddy top over glazed hood door with turned columns flanking the aperture, with concave throat moulding and trunk door centred with a lenticle and decorated with three-shaped panels incorporating central bird amid flowers, on conforming plinth base with decorated shallow skirt. 232cm high excluding later finials, 49cm wide, 26.5cm deep Provenance: Acquired August 1919, 'A fine Wm & Mary long case clock with bird & flower marquetry panels'The life and work of Joseph Windmills and his successors is comprehensively documented in Neale, J.A. Joseph and Thomas Windmills Clock and Watch Makers 1671-1737. Joseph joined the Clockmakers' Company as a free Brother on 29th September 1671 - the same year that Joseph Knibb, Daniel Quare and Thomas Tompion also gained their freedom of the Company. He initially worked from Blow Bladder Street in St. Martins le Grand, London before moving to premises at 'Swan Court, Mark Lane End, next Tower Street' by April 1674 where the business remained. Joseph took his son, Thomas, as an apprentice who, after gaining his freedom in 1696, is thought to have immediately gone into business with his father; shortly after 1700 the firm became a partnership which lasted until Joseph's death in 1724. As a contemporary of Knibb, Quare and Tompion, Joseph Windmills would have had to compete with some of the finest clockmakers that have ever lived during a period of heightened scientific enlightenment. In this environment Windmills excelled, producing clocks of a quality that equalled many of his more famous peers. Condition Report: The movement is in working condition however is due for a gentle clean/service as lubrication is somewhat dry/gummy and the plates are a little tarnished with some oil staining. The escape wheel and arbor are 19th century 'service' replacements otherwise movement appears essentially all original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The centre movement pillar is not fitted with a latch all other latches are present. The dial plate retains old yellow lacquer surface which has mellowed/discoloured; it is a little dirty with a few spots of oxidation, the silvering is fairly heavily oxidised; the calendar ring is operational. The hands are replacements of incorrect design and size (with respect to the hour hand). The spandrels appear original and retain good strong gilding.The movement and dial retain the original seatboard which rests at the correct level within the case with no evidence of alteration confirming that the movement and dial are original to the case. The movement backplate has spare holes from a previous securing bracket which is no longer present - there are corresponding holes to the case backboard. The case has generally survived in original 'untouched' condition, The top board to the caddy superstructure, finials and blocks are 19th century replacements; and the 'box' beneath the caddy would have been faced with scroll-pierced fretwork which has bee substituted for a piece of dark veneer. The cornice frieze would have originally also been faced with fretwork - this has been replaced by a section of marquetry veneer which appears Dutch and most likely 'salvaged' from a piece of furniture. The hood door is in good condition; the hinges are unusual being externally mounted (to the right-hand side) however they appear original. The wooden column caps and bases conform with other known examples by Windmills; the lower right front is loose and also appears to be a later turning that the others. The crossgrain chin moulding to the left-hand side is missing a section around 6 ins in length. The rear of the caddy is open and was most likely originally closed with thick paper pasted over the aperture. The throat moulding has a small veneer chip to the rear left-hand edge and a small loss to the leading upper edge of the marquetry at the front otherwise are in good condition. The trunk door is straight with some slight springing to the edge moulding to top left-hand corner and some small localised losses to the marquetry (corresponding to slight movement in the carcass board clamp) towards the lower edge. The lock and hinges appear original and undisturbed. The sides of the trunk are in good condition - the left-hand side has a small veneer chip to the rear edge and evidence of some light historic worm infestation (long gone!). The right-hand side has some 'rubbing through' of the crossbanded veneer towards the front leading edge at the level of the lower door hinge. The plinth base is original and undisturbed retaining marquetry veneers in good original condition having only slight losses to the upper left-hand edge and towards the centre. The side veneers have horizontal shrinkage cracking (but are stable) and some historic worm damage. Unusually the clock retains its original skirting faced in marquetry. The design of the marquetry suggests that the skirt may have originally been taller, there are also veneer losses to the sides and some historic worm damage. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, bruises and wear commensurate with age and use. The surface/colour is particularly good and untouched with the marquetry having raised 'glue' texture around the various elements indicating that the finish is old. The backboard retains all of its origiginal height continuing all the way to the lower edge of the base.Clock is complete with pendulum, original brass-cased weights, door key and a winder.

A GEORGE II/III GREEN JAPANNED EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK THE MOVEMENT AND DIAL BY JOHN BURGES, GOSPORT, CIRCA 1730, THE CASE CIRCA 1760 WITH LATER DECORATION The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds and calendar aperture to the matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring and female mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles, the arch with recessed shaped silvered plate signed John Burges, GOSPORT within foliate scroll engraved infill, now in a pagoda-top case later decorated in polychrome and gilt with chinoiserie designs onto a mid-green ground 230cm high, 52cm wide, 25.5cm deep Provenance: Barbara Gibbs and thence by descent John Burges is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Gosport circa 1726 SALEROOM NOTICE: Please note the correct measurements have been updated Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition and survives in its original form; the strike train hammer pin wheel and the escapewheel have however been re-pinioned (service repairs no doubt to address past wear). The dial has some patchy discolouration/oxidation to the silvering otherwise is in good clean condition although the hour hand is a replacement of incorrect length. Movement retains original seatboard which now rests on packing applied to the cheek uprights of the case confirming that the movement and dial are not original to the case. The case has been entirely re-painted but is structurally sound with the carcass being essentially original with some repair/rebuilding to the lower edge of the base only. The decoration is generally in very god condition although there is some retouching to the lower part of the trunk door which also exhibits a very slight warp.Clock is complete with two weights, pendulum, case key and a winder.

It will run and strike however the strike is slow/lazy indication that a gentle clean/service is required. The dial has overall flaking/losses to the finish as well as evidence of historic retouching/overpainting. The case is generally in very good original condition with faults limited to a small veneer repair (section of original veneer re-stuck) to the arch of the left hand side fret surround otherwise there are only a few minor bumps, scuffs and some light shrinkage cracking.Clock is complete with pendulum, case key and a winder.

Beadsley (Aubrey).- An archive of material relating to the purchase of rights relating to Aubrey Beardsley's works by John Lane, c.25 items, including a typed contract letter dated 9th March 1900 and signed by Leonard Smithers selling the rights to drawings by Beardsley along with the stock of books owned by him for £275; 5 typed lists with a few annotations by Smithers listing in detail the rights and stock to be transferred to Lane; Autograph Letter signed by Leonard Smithers to Herbert Jenkins (while working at Bodley Head), regarding the delivery of Beardsley materials to Hodgsons; Autograph Note signed from Matthew Bell regarding books and blocks relating to Volpone; as well as several other notes (some in Smithers hand) relating to sale of the material, a proof pulling of Beardsley's "The Snare of Vintage" and letters from the Riverside Press, Edinburgh and others relating to others Beardsley materials, folds, some splitting with tape-repairs; and 4 others, 3 relating to Malcolm Pinhorn's article "An Important Discovery" and a Anthony D'Offay facsimile of a Yellow Book poster, framed and glazed, v.s. (c.30)*** A fascinating archive of material that details John Lane's attempt to bring the majority of publishing rights relating to Beardsley into his hands.Beardsley and Lane's working relationship had only lasted 2 years until the scandal surrounding Wilde and the widespread public revulsion against the Aesthetic movement, epitomised by Beardsley and Wilde, led to Lane's firing of Beardsley from the Yellow Book in 1895. It may be that Lane felt some degree of guilt surrounding this action, doubtless compounded by the artist's death in 1898, and he seems to have devoted no small amount of energy from 1900 onwards securing as many available rights relating to Beardsley's works as he could. Certainly Lane's printing of Beardsley's works in the early 1900s assisted in rehabilitating the artist's reputation and the beginning of that process is evident in the present archive. Provenance: from the estate of the late Max Reinhardt. Proceeds from the sale will benefit MaxLiteracy.org, which inspires creative writing in young people - set up in memory of Max and his authors.
