Attributed to Mather Brown (American, 1761-1831) An Officer of the Berkshire Regiment of Fencible Cavalry, or Windsor Foresters, circa 1794-1800 oil on canvas220 x 120cmProvenance:Traditionally said to have been acquired in Parma, Italy, according to the previous owner, His sale, Cheffins, Cambridge, 4th March 2015, Lot 596, where acquired by the present ownerThe sitter in the present portrait was an officer of The Berkshire Regiment of Fencible Cavalry, otherwise known as the "Windsor Foresters" as identified by the title scroll on his helmet. The Fencibles were raised 1st May 1794 for service within Britain and consisted of six troops under the command of Colonel Charles Rooke. They were primarily defensive units usually based within garrisons or on patrol and spent majority of their time in Scotland, where their main role was to be a front line of defence against French invasion from the Bonaparte regime. They were disbanded circa 1799-1800 and their uniform was by permission of King George III taken over by the Wargrave Rangers.Most of the regiment were volunteers, often landowners or nobility. There were approximately twenty officers in the Fencibles as of June 1797, which is around the time this picture was painted. However, their lack of recorded iconography makes the identification of the sitter a difficult task.Nevertheless, stylistically this magnificent military swagger portrait can be attributed to the American-born portrait painter Mather Brown and represents a significant addition to his known oeuvre. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Mather Brown was to become a prominent portrait and historical painter who made his career in England. The handling, scale and composition are closely comparable with Brown's full-length portraits of Frederick Augustus (1763–1827), Duke of York (Waddesden Manor) and Sir John Eamer (1750–1823), Lord Mayor of London (Guildhall Art Gallery).We are grateful to Christopher Bryant for identifying the regiment of the sitter.241.5 x 142cm framed

AN IMPRESSIVE GEORGE III GILT METAL MOUNTED MUSICAL AUTOMATON CENTRE SECONDS CALENDAR TABLE CLOCK UNSIGNED, LONDON, CIRCA 1790The substantial six pillar triple fusee bell-striking movement with plates measuring 8.75 by 7.25 inches and verge escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum incorporating unusual vertical rack slide regulation to suspension, the musical train playing a choice of six tunes on eleven bells with eleven hammers, via a 3.5 inch long 2.5 inch diameter pinned cylinder transversely positioned to the upper left of the backplate, every three hours after the sounding of the hour bell, the backplate engraved with a delicate arrangement of symmetrical rococo scrollwork around a central small basket of flowers within a scribed-line outer border, the 8 inch arched dial with circular fired white enamel Roman numeral chapter disc with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with pierced brass hands and blued steel arrow sweep centre-seconds hand set within a moulded bezel surround, the spandrel areas with four fired enamel subsidiary dials, FASTER/SLOWER opposing selection for six tunes HORNPIPE/SANDY OF THE LEE/HELEN MACHREE/ROBIN GRAY/MINUET/HORNPIPE to the upper quadrants, over date-of-the-month opposing STRIKE/SILENT to the lower, within polychrome floral spray decorated verdigris painted infill, beneath arch composed with a realistically painted pair of red-brick townhouses flanking an aperture revealing ten parading figures modelled as actors, musicians and acrobats passing back and forth in front of three panels of glass spinning rod 'waterfall' automata, incorporating curved niche profile to the central bay of the backdrop and set within naturalistic leafy surrounds, the apex of the arch also bordered with painted representation of gathered drapery, the gilt brass mounted ebonised case with large fire-gilt figural surmount cast and chased as Mars wearing a feather-plumed helmet, armour and a cape, stood with the three-headed Cerberus on an oval plinth flanked by two further smaller figures of Classical maidens, over repeating leaf draped capping to the bell-top superstructure applied with rams-head adorned martial trophy decorated festoon mounts and lions masks at the angles to the concave sections, raised over a repeating rosette decorated gilt brass diamond lattice sound fret frieze flanked by further figural finials cast as Mars opposing a king applied to the corners above the ogee over concave top mouldings, the opening front with leaf cast fillet moulding bordering the glazed dial aperture surmounted by mask-centred husk swag decoration and applied with a generous martial trophy mount to lower rail, flanked by lions masks issuing further pendant husks and martial trophy motifs over stags head mounts to the canted angles, the sides with generous hinged carrying handles over rosette decorated gilt diamond lattice pierced arched sound frets and martial trophy mounts to lower margins, the rear matching the front, on cavetto moulded skirt base with generous acanthus scroll cast and chased supports.88cm (34.5ins) high, 35.5cm (14ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep. Although unsigned, the present lot does exhibit strong similarities with examples from the workshop of Francis Perigal who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company on 1781, serving as Master in 1806 and dying 1824. Most notable amongst these features are the layout of the music work (transverse barrel set to the upper left of the backplate), use of fired enamel (both for the chapter disc and the subsidiaries), provision of sweep centre seconds set between the hour and minutes hands, and extensive use of glass-rod 'waterfall' automaton. Indeed, all of these elements can be seen in an example by Perigal sold at Christies, King Street, London sale of Magnificent Clocks 15th September 2004 (lot 16). The 'vine engraving' on the backplate can be also be closely compared to that on a table clock by George Margetts illustrated in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 on page 371 (Figure 20.4). Amongst the tunes is 'Auld Robin Gray' which is a Scottish ballad written by Lady Anne Lindsay in 1772; 'Sandy o'er the Lee' is also noted as 'Mr Baird's Favourite Reel' in Niel Gow's A Second Collection of Strathspey Reels of 1788. The extensive use of Martial motifs within the mounts of the present clock would suggest that it was originally supplied to a client with strong military connections; possibly for a regimental institutional or perhaps a wealthy member of the military class.
