SOLD-Arts & Crafts Furniture by Shapland & Petter-SOLD SOME OF THE BETTER ITEMS WE HAVE SOLD
SOLD S&P 1 - A Shapland & Petter Arts & Crafts Oak Grandfather clock of superior quality with stylised floral carving just below the flaring cornice, a silvered dial with engraved details depicting a cottage scene with a windmill, a castle & man rowing a boat on a lake all set in a valley with a second hand dial to the inner top & cornered with decorative Gilt Angelic heads entwined in foliage flanked by fluted pillars, the central door carved with a single stylised flower of pure design & copper strap hinges with enamelled ying yang's & enamelled ovals to each end & the sweetest enamelled escution with stylised floral details, the lower section with a Walnut panel to the centre & standing on flaring square feet with arched detail. Circa late 1890's. SOLD.
Although S&P were a massive commercial company who had an enormous output they produced very few Grandfather clocks & I have only ever come across this one in 20 years of specialising in the Arts & Crafts Movement & there has been no period pictures found in any of their own trade catalogues or any images in old magazines or any other articles produced at the time they were manufacturing which would almost certainly prove that this was a commissioned piece, couple with the fact that I found it in Argentina where S&P exported many items to order & although it was the richest place in the world due to their beef exports at that time they didn't have an industrial revolution happening then so they came to Europe & purchased the best of what we had to offer.
