follower of his contemporary, John Smart (1740-1811). The similarities in their work suggests that the two may have shared client commissions and both travelled to India for their work.

96 Lyon & Turnbull 282 LARGE AND IMPRESSIVE GOTHIC REVIVAL CHIMING CLOCK BY BENJAMIN LEWIS VULLIAMY, LONDON
CIRCA 1840 the fire‑gilt brass architectural case with a gable surmounted by scrolling foliate cresting, the sloping sides with simulated slate tiles, above a leaf cast frieze mounted below with five red glass cabochons, enclosing trefoil reserves mounted with roundels painted with views of Greenwich including Flamstead House, Greenwich Hospital and Queen’s House, and an oblique view of Greenwich Hospital with ships on the Thames, above a triple arch silvered dial with a Roman number chapter and subsidiary Strike/Silent, seconds, and 8 Bells [Westminster]/Cambridge chimes dials, signed above the XII ‘’VULLIAMY/LONDON’, flanked by pairs of plain Corinthian columns with further columns to the rear corners, on a deep plinth; the triple fusee movement striking a bell and chiming on eight bells, the backplate signed above the pendulum clamp ‘VULLIAMY/LONDON’; on a modern oak stand with Gothic pointed arches flanked by columns. clock 60cm wide, 114cm high, 40.5cm deep; with stand 206cm high Note: Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy (1780-1854), third generation of the renowned 18th and 19th century Vulliamy clock making family, was Clockmaker of the Crown and elected Master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers five times, more than any other member. He studied horology from an early age, eventually taking over the family business in 1811 from his father Benjamin. In addition to being a skilled craftsman, Vulliamy was known for his refined taste and extensive knowledge of art, literature, and architecture. This monumental clock, with its imposing case in the Gothic taste, represents the very best work produced by the Vulliamy workshop during the 1840s. Undoubtedly a special commission, the scale of the clock, and the quality of the workmanship, indicate it was intended for an important client and location. The Gothic influences incorporated in the case, with its architectural form, details, and embellishments, is characteristic of Gothic Revival design, expounded by Auguste Pugin and his son Augustus Welby Pugin, architect and designer of the interiors of the new Palace of Westminster. The clock’s history is unfortunately unclear. The movement, though clearly signed Vulliamy, is not numbered, an omission that makes dating the piece difficult. The Vulliamy Archive, at the British Horological Institute, contains incomplete records from the firm, and offers few insights into the potential original owner. Some tantalising clues can be taken from the three painted roundels depicting landmarks in Greenwich, which could indicate a private commission with links to the Royal Hospital, or a governmental commission, as Vulliamy supplied an increasing number of public funded works in the 1840s and 50s. By repute, the clock was removed from a private house in Greenwich for safekeeping in 1939, eventually finding its way into the possession of a judge whose family referred to it as the ‘Pugin Clock’, more a statement on its design than on any substantive connection with Pugin. It then passed into another private collection where it has remained for the past fifteen years. £40,000‑50,000

Scientific Instruments & Technology Telescopes and Scientific Instruments from the Collection of the Late Allan Murray
A
LLAN MURRAY was a gregarious Hong Kong banker and art collector whose extensive collection of Scottish paintings (covering the entire historical range from the 16th century to the present day) was well known. However his interests also spanned to a long-standing love for astronomy and the stars thanks to his boyhood spent in Gullane, East Lothian, where the big skies over the North Sea inspired a fascination in the heavens. This eventually manifested itself in Allan’s wide-ranging collection of telescopes, scientific instruments and technology, part of which is offered in this sale at Lyon & Turnbull. Initially the collection was offered in its entirety to National Museums Scotland, which has gratefully accepted a number of important pieces (which will be associated, in perpetuity, with Allan and his wife Carol Murray); but a portion of this did not map on to the museums’ collecting policy, and over 20 important pieces then came to Lyon & Turnbull. Amongst these are the internationally-famous names of London scientific makers of the late 18th century: (Jesse) Ramsden, (John and Peter) Dollond, and (Edward) Troughton & (William) Simms. From a slightly later period, there is a piece made by the eminent Dublin maker, Sir Howard Grubb, whose work at one point was viewed as the best by an international clientele, and served major large observatories on five continents. There is also a late instrument by the highly respected London maker, John Browning, possibly better known for his work in producing astronomical spectroscopes (for discerning out of what elements stars in faraway galaxies could be made). And there is also a group of telescopes constructed by makers based in the United States – from the renowned maker Alvan Clark (1804-87), of Cambridgeport, Masachusetts, to the slightly later Henry Fitz (1808-63), of New York City.
Allan enjoyed hunting down these rare and elegant items through the auction rooms but due to living in Hong Kong he relied on the advice he was able to get from knowledgeable friends: he was an exceptionally good collector because he listened carefully to recommendations and the guidance he was given. A longstanding member and contributing sponsor of the Antique Telescope Society from 1993, he welcomed fellow members with similar tastes to Hong Kong with his customary hospitality, so they could talk telescopes together: there are glowing memories of these convivial meetings. He was, of course, obliged to buy ‘sight unseen’ by the very nature of his distance from the salerooms (which, of course provided him with photographs, as well as information), but there was never any doubt as to who was in the driving seat when it came to the choice of items. Allan was putting together a fine selection of instruments made by some of the world’s greatest makers, and Lyon & Turnbull are very proud to present these pieces for sale in order that they can go on to grace the collections of today’s discerning collectors.

Scientific Instruments & Technology 129
Henry Fitz (1808-1863) was a renowned American telescope maker whose inventions were important in increasing astronomical knowledge and interest in America. A pioneer of scientific instrument making, Fitz initially learned his craft from European astronomical and photographic optics specialists in England, France and Germany. By the 1840s, Fitz had established a successful business and produced hundreds of telescopes in his short-lived career. In just a fifteen year period, from 1840 to 1855, it is believed he manufactured forty percent of all telescopes sold in the United States. His bold approach led to pioneering innovations in the design of scientific instruments, often featuring very thin flint elements, designed to alleviate imperfections of the glass. Fitz later constructed some of the largest American made refracting telescopes of the period.

Provenance: From the personal collection of Don. V. Yeier; Vernonscope & Co., New York, 21 July 2000 £4,000‑6,000
Alvan Clark & Sons was an American optics manufacturer that gained international recognition after producing the world’s largest refracting telescopes in the late 19th and early 20th century. Established in 1846 in Cambridgeport, Massachusetts, the family-run firm produced refractors for observatories across the United States, many of which are still in use today. Previously, European astronomers dominated in their research and scientific discoveries, however, thanks to the Clarks’ skilful manipulation of lenses, their optical work has since been recognised as the first significant American contribution to scientific instrument making.

Provenance: Vernonscope & Co., New York, 8 January 2000 Note: This 4‑inch refracting brass telescope was produced by one of the United Kingdom’s leading scientific instrument manufacturers. Founded in 1833, Dublin, by Thomas Grubb, the company gained significant reputation in the 1860s under the direction of Grubb’s son, Howard. After a successful commission to produce the 48‑inch refractor for the Melbourne Observatory in 1869, widely considered a masterpiece in scientific instrument making, the firm went on to assist in the construction of telescopes for India, Vienna, South Africa, Greenwich and Dublin. A common feature of Grubb telescopes is the unusually short focal length in relation to the aperture, which is understood to have improved the optical quality of their instruments. Following the company’s success, Howard Grubb was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1887, and in 1912 was the third recipient of Royal Society of Dublin’s Boyle Medal. £2,000‑3,000

405 VICTORIAN MAHOGANY AND BIRCH ASTRONOMER’S CHAIR
19TH CENTURY the reclined back and low seat on trestle leg supports, the leg bearing a pressed metal label ‘W. CALLAGHAN, 23A NEW BOND STREET, REGISTERED JANUARY 15 1872’ 34cm wide, 75cm high, 39cm deep Provenance: Private collection, purchased Christie’s, 27 September 2007, lot 305 Note: William Callaghan was an optician working in London in the second half of the 19TH century who specialised in telescopes, barometers and other scientific instruments. It is thought these chairs were produced to be used with Callaghan’s telescopes. There is some speculation that the label refers to the patent registration of designs for school furniture, rather than the registration of the design for this model. Whether the company made the furniture they designed is unknown. It is possible that production was sub‑contracted, given the specialised technicalities of steam‑bending wood. Another example bearing a Callaghan trade label, but with a patent registration date of 1873, is in the collection of the Victorian and Albert Museum. £800‑1,200

(b) that all requirements have been complied with, legal or otherwise, relating to any export or import of the property consigned, all duties and taxes in respect of the export or import of the lot have (unless agreed in writing with us) been paid and, so far as you and any principal for whom they are acting in relation to the lot are aware, all third parties have complied with such requirements in the past.

Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion.
This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the Buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.

(g) Telephone Bids: If a prospective Buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in bidding by telephone. We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections. (h) Online Bidding: We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet or software malfunctions related to execution of online bids/live bidding. 4. INCREMENTS
Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant lots. (1) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (2) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a lot has been imported from outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.
(a) Pay to us the total amount due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards. We do not accept American Express.
(c) Please note that we cannot accept cash payments over £5,000.

shippers. However, we will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (4) It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main sale room and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time. (5) Export of goods: Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character, e.g. items that may contain prohibited materials such as ivory or rhino horn. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in making full payment for the lot. 10. REMEDIES FOR NON·PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (1) If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the Sellers and on their behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the contract for sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you; (c) to resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs); (d) to remove, store and insure the lot in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere and to recover from you all costs incurred in respect thereof; (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month above the current base rate on all sums outstanding for more than 7 working days after the sale; (f) to retain that or any other lot sold to you until you pay the total amount due; (g) to reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; (h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other lots due or which become due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due by you and to exercise a lien over any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied. 11. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the lot. (2) Condition reports: Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavor to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or Lyon & Turnbull and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale. Our condition reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our condition report does not form any contract between Lyon & Turnbull and the Buyer. The Condition Reports
do not affect the Seller’s obligations in any way.
http://www.defra.gov.uk/ahvla-en/imports-exports/cites/
(3) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon.
Lyon & Turnbull accepts no liability for any lots which may be subject to CITES but have not be identified as such.
(4) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred. (5) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (6) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with current safety regulation. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. Lyon & Turnbull provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item. (7) Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. 12. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES, DIAMONDS & GEMSTONES (1) Books-Collation: If on collation any NAMED item in the sale catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings NOR in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text NOR in respect of Defects mentioned in the catalogue, or at the time of sale, NOR in respect of lots sold for less than £300. (2) Clocks & Watches: All lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/ newer parts. Furthermore, Lyon & Turnbull makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order.
