GOOD LATE 18TH CENTURY WELSH OAK 8-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK by Watkin Owen, Llanrwst, 12-inch brass dial and Roman chapter ring, subsid. secs. dial, later calendar aperture, 1/4 pilaster trunk, later adapted base, weights and pendulum, unusual Gothic fluting to base, case of very good colour, fl 230cms h Auctioneer's Note: Watkin Owen was the most famous member of a family of Welsh clockmakers based in Llanrwst during the eighteenth century. He took over the business in 1776 following the death of his father, John Owen, and developed a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship that made his work highly sought after throughout North Wales. His clocks are particularly noted for their high quality eight day movements, which frequently featured a distinctive fifth pillar added for extra stability. This mechanical detail is often considered a hallmark of his workshop . The cases for these clocks were typically made from locally sourced oak, reflecting the regional style of the Conwy Valley, though more expensive mahogany or fruitwood versions were occasionally produced. The dials evolved over his career, beginning with traditional brass faces featuring fine foliate engraving and later incorporating painted dials, sometimes with moon phase indicators. Because of their technical reliability and elegant proportions, clocks signed by Watkin Owen remain among the most collectible examples of Welsh horology. Provenance: deceased estate Cardiff Comments: intermittently working, attention required, not tested for accuracy or working order longterm. Condition Report: the whole square part of the dial is 33cm's

18CT GOLD CUFFLINKS relating to Solomon Andrews, oval panels with chain-link engraved with 'S.A.' monograms, total weight approx. 10.6g (2) Auctioneer's Note: Solomon Andrews, one of Wales' most prominent Victorian entrepreneurs, transformed the landscape of Cardiff. Starting his career as a baker, he expanded his business into a vast empire that included transportation, retail, and property development. He was particularly well known for his Andrews Star Omnibus Company, which operated horse-drawn buses in Cardiff and several other major UK cities. His architectural legacy remains visible today through landmark structures like the Cardiff Market Buildings on St Mary Street, the Imperial Buildings, and the Andrews' Buildings on Queen Street. He was also responsible for founding the David Evans department stores. Beyond Cardiff, Andrews played a significant role in developing the West End of Pwllheli as a holiday resort and converted the Plas Glyn-y-Weddw mansion into Wales' first public art gallery where one can view the highly impressive collection of Welsh porcelain that was gifted by the Andrews family. We are honoured to offer Lots 245 to 256, historic items from the Solomon Andrews family that are now in the possession of the John Andrews Charitable Trust.
