About the Item
Geo III ebonized and gilt brass-mounted musical 6 tune bracket clock by Richard Parsons, London, circa 1765. The 7.5" W x 11" H arched painted metal face is signed "Rich'd Parfons, London" with Roman and Arabic numerals. The brass back plate is richly engraved and inscribed "No. 54 Goswell Street" beneath an engraved compote of fruit and surrounded by scrolling leaves. The clock chimes on the hour and on the half hour with a single chiming bell. It plays one of 6 tunes, of your choice, every 3 hours on a nest of 8 bells and 8 hammers on a pinned brass cylinder. The six dance tunes are; Cottillion, Jig, Minuet, Song, Air and Dance. The case has cast brass ormolu mounts including, a large carrying handle on the top with 4 pineapple finials as well as a conforming mount on the front of the stepped top. The front door has cast brass quarter frets on the top corners, the sides and back are glazed. It is raised on scrolling, foliate feet. The hands are blued steel, the movement with five ring-turned pillars and two wire driven fusees, and a crown escapement, with a pendulum hold-fast. Clock winding key and door keys are provided. The works have been professionally cleaned and everything is operating properly.
The clock was purchased from the Estate of Kirk Igler (1944-2001). Igler was the clock expert and an advisor to Sotheby's in NY.

- Geo III Wedgwood and Steel Mounted Amboyna and Ebony Writing Box, c1800By Matthew BoultonLocated in valatie, NYThe hinged rectangular top with three oval Signed Wedgwood plaques depicting putti at various pursuits within oval paterae mounted swagged and beaded borders, opening to a morocco leather lined hinged slope enclosing a well, the upper section fitted with candlesticks and compartmentalized for inkwells, above a hinged lid the front with a spring loaded secret drawer opening to a needle or pincushion and spools of thread. This unusual work box, mounted with blue and white jasperware signed Wedgwood plaques, is English in conception. The writing box was a popular form first used in the 18th c and well into the 19th c for traveling. This type of portable desk was described by the English poet William Cowper in 1785 as 'the most elegant, the compactest, the most commodious desk in the world.' Additionally, the jasperware plaques, came from Josiah Wedgwood's factory in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. Its proximity to the steel manufacturing city of Birmingham, the birthplace of Matthew Boulton, producer of decorative metalwork (including cut steel mounts) and described by his friend and fellow-industrialist, Josiah Wedgwood, as 'the first Manufacturer in England', certainly suggests an English origin and possibly his handwork. However, the polished steel mounts are also typical of furniture and objects made in Tula, Russia, where the Imperial Arms Factory was founded by Peter the Great in the early 18th c and which later became known for its decorative objects, including furniture and domestic pieces. Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, ordered the 'Frog Service...Category
