- Lot Description
Northwestern Europe, England, London, ca. early to mid-19th century CE. A fine pair of wood, brass, and elephant ivory instruments made by British makers Richard Bilton and Hermann Wrede. The Bilton clarinet features boxwood, an ebony mouthpiece, ivory ferrules and is stamped with the maker marks on the ebony mouthpiece, barrel, upper and lower joint. The full mark contains "2 / BILTON / LONDON / 93 WESTMINSTER / BRIDGE ROAD." Richard Bilton was active between 1826 and 1856. He began as an apprentice under J. Cramer, and the upper joint is marked: "BILTON FECIT LATE APPCE & FOREN TO CRAMER LONDON" to indicate his connection with this other well-known instrument maker. The other clarinet is made by Hermann Wrede from boxwood with brass keys and an ebony mouthpiece. The bell is stamped "H. WREDE / 35 / LR. WHITE CROSS ST. / CRIPPLEGATE / LONDON." This is a fine pair of instruments by well documented makers that would make excellent display pieces! Size (Wrede): 19.25" L x 2.5" W (48.9 cm x 6.4 cm); (Bilton): 23.5" L x 3" W (59.7 cm x 7.6 cm)
