The Clocks, Scientific & Musical Instruments Auction

The Clocks, Scientific & Musical Instruments Auction

Date: 4th Nov, 2021 10:30
Lots: 100

A late 19th French ‘Foundryman’ automaton clock was the pièce de résistance in this auction, selling for a record breaking £11,000. Another record breaker came in the form of an unusual ‘incline plane’ clock. 1 of only 500 produced by Dent of London in 1973, a new high was set today at £2,200 on the hammer. A collection of anatomical studies also garnered much attention, with bids flying in from around the globe, raising a total in excess of £3,000.

Entries are invited for the next Clocks & Instruments auction taking place in February 2022.

For a complimentary, no-obligation valuation, make an appointment to visit our Glasgow Galleries or contact our specialists by clicking this link and completing the short form.
