A rare George II rack striking posted thirty-hour longcase clock movement and dial Cornelius Muzzel, Bolney, circa 1745 The single-handed movement with anchor escapement and hour strike on a bell mounted above the top plate controlled by a pivoted rack positioned to gather at the rear of the movement against a snail-shaped cam set behind the dial, the top plate fitted with sprung trip repeat lever, the 10 inch square brass dial with basket of fruit and foliate scroll engraved matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and signed Cornelius Muzzel, Bolney, Sussex to lower margin, the angles applied with twin cherub and crown cast spandrels. The above lot is illustrated and discussed in Darken, Jeff and Hooper, John English 30 Hour Clocks pages 172-3 where it is noted that the workmanship is excellent and bears a strong similarity to that of John Inkpen of Horsham, who married Elizabeth Muzzle of Bolney on 1735. Darken and Hooper further suggest that Muzzle was probably apprenticed to John Inkpen and would have probably worked from around 1745 when he reached ages 21 years of age. IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS Movements, dials and cases: movements and dials are described as relating to the cases in which they are housed in one of the following three ways: the case.... we are of the opinion that the movement and dial started life in the current case. in a case... we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are in a case of correct period and type (and may well be original to the movement and dial), however there is evidence to suggest that they may not have started out life together. now in a case... we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are no longer in the original case or one of correct period and/or type. Pendulums, weights, winding and case keys: we cannot guarantee that the correct number of weights (where appropriate) and/or keys are present with the clock, nor do we indicate in the catalogue description whether weights or keys are present as many clocks are consigned without them. Please check with the department to establish whether they are present or not prior to bidding. Condition: due to the mechanical nature of clocks and the fact that most are of great age we cannot offer any guarantee as to whether they are in working order or free from major faults or restoration. Although we endeavour to catalogue items in a fair and informed manner, omission of any comments or observations regarding the condition or originality of a clock in the description does not necessarily indicate that it is free from significant faults, restoration or is in working condition. We would strongly advise any prospective purchaser to view the item in person or request a condition report and/or further images prior to bidding. Measurements: dial measurements are given in inches, other dimensions such as height are given in centimetres (and inches for English clocks). The measurement given for the height of a longcase clock excludes any removable finials in order to provide an approximate minimum ceiling height in which the clock can be accommodated.
