A fine George II japanned eight-day quarter chiming musical longcase clock Newman Cartwright, London, circa 1730 The substantial five pillar triple train rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the musical train peeling the quarters and playing a choice of two tunes on the hour via a sixteen hammers on eight bells, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture, subsidiary seconds dial and applied arched signature plate Newman Cartwright, London to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with pierced steel hands and applied female mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with A Minuett/A March tune selection dial flanked by dolphin cast mounts, in a black japanned case with domed caddy surmount to the blind fret fronted box upstand over moulded cornice and conforming infill to the quadrants above the break-arch glazed hood door decorated with gilt foliate trails, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures and quarter columns applied to bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with floral spray painted concave throat moulding over break-arch door finely decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with a stag being pursued by hounds within an arcadian Oriental landscape with pavillions, the surround further decorated with foliate trails beneath birds to upper quadrants, the sides painted with full height flowering foliage, on cavetto moulded plinth base with conforming landscape scene to front and applied skirt over squat ogee bracket feet (wear and loss to decoration), 234cm (92cm high). A clockmaker with the name Newman Cartwright does not appear to be recorded in the usual sources however a watch dating to around 1720 by 'N. Cartwright, Lombard Street' (with pierced silver pillars) is noted in Britten, F. J. FORMER CLOCK AND WATCH MAKERS AND THEIR WORK. In addition to this a walnut eight-day longcase clock by Newman Cartwright, also dating to around 1720, was sold at Chorley's, Prinknash Abbey on 24th June 2010 (lot 445) for £3,000 hammer. Finally a record of successful proceedings and notice of a meeting for debtors relating to the bankruptcy of Newman Cartwright 'of Lombard Street, Silversmith and Chapman' is recorded in the Gazette printed in late May or early June 1758.
