About the Item

A FINE LATE GEORGE III RED LACQUERED CHINOISERIE DECORATED SIX-BELL WALL CLOCK Stroud, England, circa 1830 dial engraved "Rich'd Camm / Stroud" with a chiming six-bell movement Item # 309SMP24Q An incredibly striking wall clock with a brilliant red ground throughout, the hood characterized by a broken-arch cove-molded pediment with applied pressed-brass rosettes over a glazed door flanked by Roman tuscan columns opening with a tiny knob to reveal a silvered dial with a Roman numeral chapter ring with solid blued steel hands, engraved floral spandrels and signed along the upper half "Rich'd Camm" and the lower half "STROUD". The chain-driven movement features six chiming bells. The body of the case features a single full-length door, which opens to give access to the brass pendulum on its wooden rod and the two weights. The door is decorated with gilt and polychromed scenes of the Orient: birds, houses, figures and gardens, all depicted in brilliant glowing colors and intricate detail. The sides of the case are stenciled with simple floral patterns. Richard Camm is documented as living in Stoud from 1816 through his death in 1857, also being listed in Pigot's Directory of Gloucestershire, 1830 as being a "Watch & Clock Maker" on High Street in Stroud. The clock likely pre-dates the establishment of M & R Camm, a joint venture between Richard Camm and Martin Camm starting in 1839 through 1852. Measurements: 51 1/2" H x 8 5/8" D x 15 1/4" W Condition Report: Dial tarnished with oxidization throughout the faceplate, notable discolorations in the lower left quarter; movement is as-found, being dirty and is unexamined for functionality; it appears to be complete, but will need to be serviced by a clock technician prior to use; seatboard rests on two pine strips that appear to be the same age as the seatboard, these strips raising the movement to the proper height for the clock; the need for strips leaves the possibility open that the movement is not original to the case, though oxidization tones match nicely between the movement and the case; heavily oxidized early surface and darkening of the lacquer throughout; old crack in the broken-arch crest in the center and left; untouched secondary elements and blocking; a few losses to the chinoiserie decoration as well as rubbing/oxidization/color loss/small chips; lock absent from the door; left side of the case with a loss at the extreme tip of the bottom; no winding key.

Located in Shippensburg, PA
A fine Empire period mantel clock with bun feet raising a rectangular base with a central portrait of Bacchus flanked by exquisitely chiseled motif of swirling foliage surmounted by a figure of the goddess Ceres grasping in her lowered hand a wreath woven with foliage and berries while in her garment she collects a bountiful harvest; she rests beside the clock tower with a framed lens opening to access the white enamel dial with black Roman numerals inscribed Etn.

Austrian Art Deco Bronze Sculpture Mantel Clock by Anton Grath circa 1925
By Anton Grath
Located in Shippensburg, PA
ART DECO FIGURAL MANTEL CLOCK Anton Grath (Austrian, b. 1881) patinated and burnished bronze over marble signed "Anton Grath" and foundry marking monogrammed "HW" within an "H" to right side of base Circa 1925 Item # 203AXG01W A powerful figural clock of a partially nude male and female raising offerings of a laurel wreath and an empty vessel, they face one another before the bold architectural display of the clock flanked by coned finials. They are loosely symmetrical in garb, the burnished bronze capes flowing gently around and before them. The circular face of the clock rests on a pair of sleeping lions over a textured bronze rectangular plinth with a burnished bronze bas-relief of a young woman lying in the grasses of a setting sun raised on a variated marble base. This model was acquired formerly at the Sotheby's, New York sale on April 14th 2008, [Sale N08427, lot 155, achieved $ 5,000 USD] and the patina was enhanced at some point in the last fourteen years to include the parcel-burnished highlights in the figures. The right side of the base includes the signature and a monogrammed foundry mark (HW within an H). A very fine period example. Artist Listings & Bibliography: *E.
