Message from
Jamie Collingridge
Welcome back after the summer break.The auction world has been
fairly quiet this past month or so but in September things start to get
busy again and we will be offering over 70 clocks in sales in London,
Amsterdam and New York.
There is a strong showing for French ornamental clocks.Highlights
include the fine Urania clock illustrated on the front cover of this
update (Amsterdam, 22 September) and an impressive regulateur de
parquet after the model by Cressent (London, 24 September). Indeed,
the week of 21 September will be a particularly busy one,with twenty
clocks in ‘Style & Spirit’ at South Kensington as well.My favourite in
that sale is, of course, lot 211 – a Victorian table clock signed
Collingridge.A rare and important maker in my opinion!
Do take a look also at ‘The Sunday Sale’ (13 September).There is a nice
little selection of clocks, notably a bracket clock by Desbois & Wheeler
with enamel dials and several wall clocks which would be ideal for the
kitchen or hall.Certainly I would be very happy to have any of them
on my wall.
Kind regards
Jamie Collingridge
