26th march 2014 Sale report

in the first specialist sale of its kind at Halls, the oak and vernacular furniture and clocks sale on 26th March provided a hatful of good results and justified the niche marketing of this event with four figure sums in both categories.

The session began with nearly seventy lots of works of art, clocks and scientific instruments and with early interest in a William iii scarlet japanned longcase clock dated to 1700 and with a dial signed by T H o Bridge.The eight day movement, striking on a single bell was contained within a later decorated case and the clock took £2,600 against an estimate of £2,000/3,000. Earlier, a george iii ebonised eight day twin fuse bracket clock by Francis Holland of London also found favour when it was knocked down for £2,050. again amongst the bracket clocks, a 19th century ebonised and brass inlaid chiming twin fusee bracket clock by John Moore and Sons, clerkenwell, London, no 11520 with a silvered dial and movement striking the hours, half and quarters on an arrangement of nine bells sold for a mid-estimate £1,950.

The victorian gothic style is perhaps experiencing a revival and here an oak bracket clock by Edward Hills of Sudbury with a triple fusee movement striking the hours and quarters on eight graduated bells and within and architectural oak case and original bracket sold for £1,600, double the bottom estimate. at the other end of the time scale, a limited edition commemorative Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer mantel clock by Mappin and Webb with a silver urn shaped body, London 1981 also sold above estimate for £1,100 against hopes of £600/800.

vernacular oak has to be the right colour to sell well at auction with warm honey tones much favoured. Here a george iii oak secretaire linen press with two cupboard doors above a secretaire drawer and three long drawers took the top price of the sale when it sold for £3,400.This was followed by a george iii oak four drawer dresser base on cabriole legs, which, although lacking a rack and requiring some restoration, was popular enough at £1,500.

The day ended with a local single owner offering of bisque head dolls collected over the last thirty years by a discerning collector. The sixty lots sold here included some major names of the late victorian doll manufacturing world including armand Marseille, Jumeau and Simon and Halbig. Top price was £1,000 given for a rare Simon and Halbig 1279 bisque head doll made by Bergmann, circa 1899 with sleeping blue eyes and jointed composition body.This was followed by a Tete Jumeau bisque head doll with blonde wig, pierced ears and stationary blue glass eyes which brought a mid-estimate £700.The collection realised nearly £10,000 with a selling rate of ninety five per cent.
