Sergeant, London’, the backplate fully engraved with floral and c-scroll decoration and with repeat signature, the walnut bell-top case with glazed sides, brass bracket feet and handle to the top with filled shaped panels either side of the dial arch, height 45cm (handle up). £800 – 1200 * Two clockmakers by the name of Nathaniel Sergeant are recorded as working at the period this clock was made, and may well have been the same person with the records misinterpreted. The first was free of the Clockmakers Company in 1763 and worked until at least 1786 and was also listed as an auctioneer; the second is recorded working in Cannon Street and was free of the Clockmakers Company in 1768 and worked until at least 1790.
657 A chiming oak mantel clock the eight-day duration movement chiming the quarters on four gongs and the hour on a further gong, the brass break-arch dial having black Roman numerals, c-scroll spandrels, blued steel hands and a roundel to the arch engraved ‘Tempus Fugit’, the oak break-arch case having barleytwist columns, height 39cm. £200 - 300 658 D. Bowen, Alfreton, a mahogany cased bulkhead timepiece, the eight-day duration, chain fusee movement with a platform lever escapement, the round seven-inch brass dial engraved with black Roman numerals and maker’s name ‘D. Bowen, Alfreton’, with blued steel spade hands, the mahogany drum case with a cast brass bezel, diameter: 22cm. £400 - 600 * David Bowen is known to have worked in Alfreton, Derbyshire from before 1846 as both a watch and clockmaker with at least four longcase clocks recorded by him and a shop regulator. A gold watch signed D. Bowen, Alfreton is hallmarked for 1864 so we can assume he was working up to at least this date. In the 1840’s he was in partnership with another clockmaker, Stevenson (possibly William), although this may well have been alongside his own business, and it is known he also had premises in Ripley. * This piece was reputedly made for the present owners grandfather, Mr Sturgess, a yacht Captain based in Cadland, near, Fawley and who was a regular competitor at Cowes Week on the Isle of Wight, in the mid-1800’s, and who it is believed entertained Royalty on his yacht. Family tradition has it that the casing of this timepiece was made from a yacht mast captained by him at Cowes. 659 An Edwardian mahogany chiming longcase clock the eight-day duration movement striking the hours on a gong and the quarters on a set of sixteen Gloria gongs set in four runs of four, the twelve-inch break-arch dial having a raised, silvered chapter ring with Arabic numerals, subsidiary seconds dial to the centre and with ‘strike/silent’ and ‘chime/ silent’ subsidiary dials within the arch, the mahogany case having a shaped, glazed trunk door, a shaped raised panel to the base, canted corners to the trunk and base with blind fretwork, the hood with a swan-neck pediment with fretwork below and pillars with brass capitals, standing on bracket feet, height 226cm. £1000 - 1500 658 659 169
