Racing into our sale tomorrow. Don’t miss our Fine Clocks, Barometers and Scientific Instruments | 20 February | 10.30am.

Pictured is lot 111, a French Empire style gilt bronze figural mantel clock.

The casing of this clock is modelled as the Chariot of Telemachus after the model by Jean-André Reiche (1752-1817). It features a slipper-shaped chariot or biga driven by Telemachus whilst under the protection of Athena, the chariot wheel forming the silvered chapter ring. The subject is sometimes incorrectly referred to as ‘The Chariot of Apollo’ or ‘The Chariot of Diomedes’ – however we know that the original drawing by Reiche survives in the Bibliotheque National de France in Paris under the original title ‘Char de Telemaque’. Many examples survive of early 19th century models such as one held in the Spanish Royal Collection.

Coming up next week we have Interiors | 27 February A highlight from the sale is this pair of Dutch marquetry cha… https://t.co/LIZesTT2Bi
We are delighted to announce that this year we will offer a number of individual book collections. Modern First Editions, 28 March, is the first part of the property of a British collector, with the second half to be presented in the Winter season 2019. A highlight from our March auction is lot 69, J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again. This is an exemplary copy of the true first edition of Tolkien’s debut novel. First printed in September 1937 with a limited run of 1,500 copies, it offered war-torn England its first opportunity to escape into the imaginary lands of the Shire, Rivendell, Mirkwood and the lonely mountain. The print run was totally sold out by December of that year. This is an online auction. The catalogue is available via our website!#bloomsburyauctions #jrrtolkien #firstedition #modernfirsteditions #tolkien #thehobbit
