AN ENGLISH BRASS MINIATURE LANTERN CLOCKUNSIGNED, MID 17th CENTURY AND LATERThe posted countwheel bell-striking movement now with Huygens endless chain winding and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum swinging beyond the frame to the rear, the replaced dial plate engraved with scrolling radial leafy blooms to centre, with iron hand within original applied 4 inch Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and engraved leafy infill to angles, the frame with column turned corner posts beneath twin dolphin and scroll pierced frets, shouldered vase turned finials and domed bell bearer, the sides with hinged brass doors and the rear with brass backplate, on ball-turned feet; with an oak wall bracket constructed with a table supported with two ogee-outline brackets mounted onto a shaped back panel. The clock 23cm (9ins) high, 10cm (4ins) deep, 11.5cm (4.5ins) deep excluding crutch; the bracket 40cm (15.75ins) high, 14cm (5.5ins) wide. Spare holes to the top plate along with the position of the hour hammer to the right of the movement suggest that the present clock was originally made with balance wheel regulation and separately-would trains. Although the dial plate, frets, finials and bell structure are later replacements the clock still retains original mid 17th century core elements in the frame and the going train. Condition Report: The movement appears to retain original greatwheels and pulleys however the winding clicks have been removed from the going train and pulley fixed to facilitate endless winding. The going second wheel and arbor appear original as does the pinion of report (which has been turned-around due to wear) and hour wheel. The escapewheel and arbor/pinion are replacements; the number of teeth on the escapewheel would suggest a duration of closer to 30 hours than 12 however without undertaking a wheel count we are unable to confirm the duration. The lines 'cross-over' in order for the clock to run with 'endless winding' without reversing one of the trains. The strike train appears to have been repinioned (probably due to wear) otherwise would appear to be fundamentally original; the countwheel has a repair to the rim. The dial plate is a replacement (possibly due to the clock originally having an alarm which would have been removed during conversion to anchor escapement); the chapter ring is probably original but is now secured by pins bent-over at the rear of the dial plate. The hand is a replacement. The movement pillars, top and bottom plates and feet are original; everything else (ie, the finials, bell assembly, frets, doors and backplate) are replacements. The feet have 'flats' to opposing sides suggesting that a vice has been used to unscrew them at some point. Movement is generally neglected and dusty hence will require a clean/service if intending to put to use.Clock has pendulum, an oak wall bracket and a weight. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y&nbspA RARE QUEEN ANNE GILT BRASS MOUNTED TORTOISESHELL QUARTER REPEATING TABLE/BRACKET CLOCK WITH ALARMROBERT HODGKIN, LONDON, EARLY 18th CENTURYThe substantial six finned pillar bell striking movement with plates measuring 7.75 by 5.5 inches and verge escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum incorporating pivoted beam rise/fall regulation to suspension, with pull-repeat peeling the quarters on a graduated nest of six bells and sounding the hour on a further larger bell, and with pull-wind alarm mechanism sounding on the hour bell via a vertically pivoted T-shaped hammer, the backplate finely engraved with symmetrical foliate scrollwork issuing from a central leafy cartouche engraved signed Hodgkin, London and with herringbone banded outer border, the 7 inch wide brass break-arch dial with shaped false bob and calendar apertures to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with cruciform half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and unusual applied grotesque mask and phoenix cast gilt brass spandrels to lower angles, the upper angles interrupted by twin rosette-centred subsidiary dials each with Roman numeral chapter ring, the left a second hour dial with central silvered alarm setting disk opposing rise/fall regulation top the right, the centre with engraved signature Robert Hodgkin, London and n/s strike/silent selection switch, beneath arch applied with a demi-lune cast gilt brass mount decorated with a sunburst beneath leafy scroll infill flanking a male mask, within herringbone engraved upper border, the case of French Regence design with large gilt brass grotesque mask and acanthus cast flambeau urn finial to the cushion-capped cavetto upstand incorporating gilt draped leaf cast mounts to angles, above egg-and-dart moulded arched cavetto cornice centred with a mask and terminating with opposing acanthus scrolls issuing leafy pendant angle mounts, over hinged glazed gilt brass framed egg-and-dart cast break-arch door incorporating concave lower angles enclosing a repeating leafy spray cast apron mount beneath the dial behind, the sides with egg-and-dart moulding over rectangular glazed panels within ribbon-weave cast gilt brass frames and swollen lower section, the rear with hinged rectangular brass framed glazed aperture, on acanthus cast scroll feet with conforming palmette-centred pendant mount to the shaped front apron between.58.5cm (23ins) high, 31cm (12.25ins) wide, 14cm (5.5ins) deep. Very little of Robert Hodgkin is known; he is noted in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as working circa 1705-20 with reference to a single longcase clock signed by him. From the apparent lack of records, it would be reasonable to suggest that Robert Hodgkin most likely worked within one of the larger workshops. Indeed the style of the present lot would suggest a Huguenot workshop such as that of Claude DuChesne. Provenance:Purchased by the vendor at Bonhams, London sale of FINE CLOCKS, 10th December 2014 (lot 111) for £7,500. Previously exhibited by Algeron Asprey and Meyrick Nielson in An Exhibition of Fine and Decorative Clocks held at Bruton Street, London, 10-20th June 1975 (exhibit No. 6). The engraving to the backplate of the current lot is unusual in that there is noticeable 'space' within the composition - most noticeably towards the herringbone border and to the upper third. This does not conform to the usual practice of entirely filling the plate hence demonstrates an individual approach by Hodgkin's chosen engraver. Stylistically the rendering of the foliate scrollwork can be closely compared to that seen on a backplate of a clock by Daniel Quare illustrated in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass page 233 (Figure 13.19) which would suggest that both were executed by the same hand. The design and layout of the pull quarter repeat mechanism in the current lot can also be compared to that of a clock by John Wady described and illustrated in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass pages 440-41. Condition Report: Movement is in fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements however it is likely that a relatively complex clock of this age will have some service replacements within the mechanism. There is no evidence to indicate that the escapement is a re-conversion (ie. no evidence of the clock ever having and anchor escapement. Although in working condition the alarm mechanism is a little feeble. The brass of the movement has a slightly mellow hue. The dial plate also has slightly mellow colouring however is in fine condition with minimal oxidation to the chapter ring; the spandrels are of unusual pattern and are gilded as are the other mounts. The case is generally in very good condition. The mounts are of very even colour suggesting that have been regilded (electro-gilded). The convex section of the superstructure has some cracking to the tortoiseshell veneers towards the left-hand rear corner and the right-hand section following the arch profile has a join within the veneer across the rear upper corner. There is a small chip next to the front door keyhole otherwise veneers appear to be in fine condition with minimal movement or surface blemishes. The rear door upper pin hinge is currently not connected due to the tab drilled with a hole fitted to the door frame now being loose (requires screw drilling-out and re-tapping). Otherwise faults to the case are very much limited to slight age related wear and other very minor surface blemishes. Clock is complete with pendulum, case key and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE FRENCH BRASS GORGE CASED SMALL REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH LIMOGES ENAMEL PANELSUNSIGNED, PARIS, CIRCA 1875The eight-day two train gong striking movement with frosted silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm mechanism planted between the plates at eleven o'clock sounding on the same gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 7027 to lower left-hand corner, the rectangular deep maroon almost black enamel dial with gilt star rosette to centre, contrasting gilt and white Roman numerals to chapter ring and gilt brass hands, the upper spandrel areas decorated in translucent polychrome enamel with Renaissance inspired stylised foliate scroll strapwork and the lower margin centred with an Arabic numeral alarm setting dial flanked by bird inhabited conforming leafy scrollwork, the brass gorge case with hinged carrying handle over large bevelled top glass, trip-repeat button to front rail and channel-moulded uprights, the sides inset with fine enamel panels depicting winged clothed putti serenading lovebirds with a pan pipes and a flageolet, the rear with pin-hinged bevel glazed door, on ogee-outline base; with original tooled Morocco leather covered protective carrying case.The clock 10cm (4ins) high with handle down, 7cm (2.75ins) wide, 6cm (2.375ins) deep. The exquisite dial and side panels of the current lot are textbook examples of the finest enamel-work produced in the Limoges workshops during the second half of the 19th century. The Renaissance inspired subject matter along with the colour palette (in particular the dark ground) revives the style for which the region became particularly well-known for during the 16th Century. Indeed the popularity and re-establishment of the Limoges enamel workshops during the second half of the 19th century was born out of a deep appreciation for the Renaissance originals which had become highly prized by connoisseurs earlier in the century. As often the case with French revivalist art the intention was to match (or even, if possible, exceed) the quality of the originals hence there was generally a 'no expense spared' approach to execution in order to achieve this objective. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. If intending to put then clock into long term service a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised. The dial panel has what appears to be a very slight scratch to the ground near the top right hand corner (can only really be seen on close examination under strong light). The left-hand side panel has miniscule chips to each of the upper two corners (again only visible on very close examination), otherwise the enamel panels appear to be free from any visible faults. The glasses appear free form visible damage and the case is free from defects although the surface is generally a little dull/discoloured. The travelling case is structurally sound retaining its original strap handle, button clasp and repeat push intact. The interior has lifting/snagging to the velvet lining and general wear; the exterior has uneven scuffing and wear to the surface including a rectangular patch form a sticky label being attached to the top of the lid at some point.Clock does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH LOUIS PHILIPPE GILT BRASS ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH CALENDAR BOURDIN, PARIS, CIRCA 1845The two train eight-day bell striking movement with gilt platform lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, the rectangular silvered brass Roman numeral dials with blued steel arrow hands over twin subsidiary Arabic numeral dials for date-of-the-month and alarm setting, the early multipiece bevel-glazed case with hinged baton carrying handle over large rectangular glass, ogee top mouldings and rounded uprights to angles, the rear with gilt brass panel incorporating graduated regulation slide to upper margin over signature Bourdin H'r du Roi, 24 R. de la Paix, PARIS and shuttered winding, hand setting and alarm adjustment holes, on cavetto moulded skirt base also with rounded angles, (calendar and alarm currently inoperative).14cm (5.5ins) high with handle down, 9cm (3.5ins) wide, 7cm (2.75ins) deep. A.E. Bourdin is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as being awarded medals for carriage clocks in the Paris Expositions; Bronze 1844, Silver 1855 and Bronze again in 1866. A very fine complex four-train grande-sonnerie striking chronometer carriage clock with calendar by Bourdin is illustrated by Allix and Bonnert on page 110 (Plates V/7-8). 

A FINE CHARLES II BRASS LANTERN CLOCKJOHN LONDON, BRISTOL, CIRCA 1675-80The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with Huygens's endless chain winding and verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum swinging outside the frame to the rear incorporating knife-edge suspension, the dial with vacant roundel within stylised symmetrical foliate engraved infill issuing from a large leafy tulip bloom to lower margin and interrupted by engraved signature John London, of Bristoll fecit to the upper, within applied 6 inch narrow Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys hour markers, with scroll pierced black steel hand incorporating long tail and engraved radial leaf infill to angles, the typical tall Bristol-type frame with one-piece column turned corner posts beneath lion and unicorn armorial engraved and pierced frets, integral multi-knopped tall vase-and-cover turned finials and domed bell bearer cast with pierced leaf decoration between the limbs, with brass side doors and brass backplate to rear, on tall disc-knopped ball feet.42cm (16.5ins) high, 15cm (6ins) wide, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep. John London in recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as being a gunsmith working in Bristol by 1675 (references Bellchambers), when he took Robert Sainsbury from Market Lavington as an apprentice. Jim Moore recorded him as being married to Mary Baker in 1678 and he is believed to have still be working in Bristol in 1678.  George White in Darken, Jeff (editor) TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 illustrates a very closely related clock to the present lot on page 228 (Figure 2.), where it is noted that John London was most likely influenced by leading London-based makers but adopted his own particular style and flair - most noticeable on his surviving longcase clocks. This is most apparent with regards to his engraving which departs from the usual Bristol style, adopting more intense florid designs which are more akin to London work but taken further. White also notes that, as a gunsmith, John London is thought to have engraved his own dials; this was until a lantern clock was discovered with practice engraving beneath the dial together with the name 'Axford'. From this it has been suggested that the engraving may have been executed by someone else, who may have had connections with the brass founder Charles Axford, who is recorded through his marriage in Bristol in 1687. Notwithstanding the above the current lot utilises a variant of the frame castings that were favoured by the Bristol and Chew Valley school of clockmakers, with one of the earliest examples of their use (other than the present clock) being for another example by John London of Bristol illustrated in Loomes, Brian Lantern Clocks & Their Makers on page 179 (Figure 10.41). Loomes dates this clock to the late 1670's whilst another close variant of these castings can be seen on a clock by Edward Webb dated 1676 (private collection), as well as two further examples by the same maker, dated 1682 and 1692 respectively (illustrated in Loomes on page 188, Figures 11.5 - .6). These two variants differ only very slightly in that the feet have 'disc' knops for the John London clock/present lot and 'ball' knops for the Webb clocks. The 'disc feet' castings were also used by other makers such as Edward Bilbie of Chew Stoke (who is believed to have succeeded Edward Webb in around 1695), and both variants were used by Thomas Veale of Chew Magna. Edward Bilbie appears to have persisted with the use of such castings after Bristol makers had mostly moved onto patterns more closely related to London work of the period, suggesting that such frames were continued to be cast locally (possibly through subsequent acquisition of the patterns by the Chew Valley makers). Certainly, from surviving clocks, it would be reasonable to suggest that casting of the frames could have taken place at Edward Webb's foundry in Chew Stoke, then by the Bilbie family after Webb's death in 1694. Condition Report: The wheelwork appears very original with the only noticeable replacements being the pulley centres which have been changed or reworked to facilitate running on chains; this has also required the holes in the baseplate to be elongated slightly (due to the present inner diameter of the pulleys being slightly smaller than the original configuration). The trains appear to run free and have only fairly light wear to the pinions. The escapement appears original, however the pallets have been refaced and the front pivot cock has 'packing' beneath it hence it is probable that some adjustment will be required before the clock can be put into service. The movement has been made to take an alarm mechanism (most likely configured to be 'sunken' into the backplate) which is not present. The dial is in fine condition with good strong engraving, there is no alarm disc present with the clock and the hand is probably a replacement. The frets are original as is the bell bearer; the top finial is a replacement. The right front and rear left feet have been solder repaired at the stems (common with this design of frame casting) and the rear right-hand finial has a historic braze repair to the stem. Both side doors are probably original, the backplate is most likely a replacement and is if noticeable heavy gauge brass with noticeable distortion to the panel.There are no weights with the clock. Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE GEORGE II STAINED-PINE SMALL THIRTY-HOUR ALARM WALL TIMEPIECE IN A 'SALTBOX' TYPE CASETHE DIAL INITIALLED D.W., PROBABLY SOUTH CENTRAL ENGLAND, CIRCA 1740The four pillar single-handed movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, and external alarm mechanism planted on a brass plate secured to the left-hand side of the movement sounding via a vertically pivoted hammer on a bell set above the plates, the 6 inch square brass dial with silvered Arabic numeral alarm setting disc to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with starburst spike engraved half hour markers and initialled D W to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hand and winged cherub mask spandrels to angles, the rectangular 'saltbox' type case with raised back panel flanked by downcurved side panels, over forward-sliding horizontal top panel cut with slots for the bell stand and alarm hammer, and fronted with caddy moulding to form the upper margin of the dial surround, the conforming side and lower dial surround mouldings fronting channels to the interior to act as runners for the dial, the rear drilled with a hanging hole behind the bell.25cm (9.75ins) high, 18cm (8ins) wide, 14cm (5.5ins) deep. Elements of the case housing the present clock (namely the channelled moulding bordering the dial and the removable top panel) can be compared to an oak-cased wall clock by John Coates of Cirencester, dating to around 1760, illustrated in Darken, Jeff (editor) TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 on page 164 (Exhibit number 48). Condition Report: The timepiece appears to be in good clean original working condition. There is no visible evidence of alteration - although the collets to the first and second wheel differ suggesting that one may have been re-pinioned (most likely the first wheel). The alarm mechanism appears complete and all original. The dial is also in good original condition with faults limited to a few minor casting blemishes and some patchy oxidation. The case is in sound original condition however the backboard has a vertical split from top to bottom with staples inserted to the upper and lower edge. The sides have lesser splits and the vertical dial runners have had slips of timber inserted at to the rear of the slot to close the channel slightly. The slip-in top cover has slightly different profile to the front moulding and colour so may well be an older replacement.

A FINE CHARLES I BRASS 'FIRST PERIOD' LANTERN CLOCKPETER CLOSON, LONDON, CIRCA 1640The trains with separate winding via rope lines running within pulleys incorporating steel walls to the click-spring side, the going train with reinstated verge escapement regulated by oscillating balance positioned above the top plate, the strike train sounding the hours on a bell mounted above the frame via a countwheel with overlift provided by a hoop wheel cut with a single slot, the dial with central vestigial star-burst engraved alarm setting disc within a ring of seven boldly engraved repeating flowerheads and stylised foliate scrollwork, within applied 6.125 inch narrow silvered Roman numeral chapter ring incorporating slender cruciform half hour markers, with fine substantial sculpted steel hand and foliate engraved infill to the quadrants, the frame with turned Doric column corner posts beneath distinctive shouldered vase 'cup and cover' finials with cavetto waists, the front and sides applied with symmetrical scroll pierced cast brass armorial frets with the front incorporating foliate engraved detail including grotesque dolphin masks and engraved signature Peter Clofon Neare Holborn Bridg Fecit, beneath domed bell bearer capped with a conforming vase finial, with brass side doors and the rear with later iron backplate fitted with spurs beneath an iron hanging hoop applied to the top plate, on turned tapered 'acorn' feet, (alarm mechanism no longer present).40cm (15.75ins) high, 16cm (6.25ins) wide, 18.5cm (7.125ins) deep including spurs.Supplemental addition to the above description text (19/08/2024) - The rear of the front, fret together with the centre of one of the greatwheels, bear casting marks conforming to recorded 'P.C. within a shield' marks which are believed to be that for Peter Closon's foundry. Peter Closon is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in Southwark, London in around 1595 and apprenticed on 22nd November 1608 to Henry Stevens (through the Clothworkers' Company). His brothers (William and Simon) were both gun makers as was his father, Godfrey, before him. He gained his freedom in 1616 and married Margaret Buckner in 1629. Closon was one of the subscribers for the formation of the Clockmakers' Company paying the substantial sum of £5 in 1630. He worked near Holborn Bridge and took-on many apprentices, first through the Clothworkers' Company and then the newly founded Clockmakers' Company after 1631. Amongst his apprentices were the following who went-on to become notable makers in their own right - John Selwood (1630-38); John Wise (through Thomas Dawson 1638-460; Richard Ames (through Richard Masterson 1648/9-1656/7), and William Speakman (through Nicholas Tomlins 1654-61). Closon was made an Assistant in the Clockmakers' Company in 1633 and then Warden 1637/8, there are no records of his attendance after this date. He died in around 1660/1 and is thought to have been succeeded by Richard Ames. The present clock can be closely compared to another example by Closon illustrated in White, George English Lantern Clocks on page 117 (Figure II/151). The dial engraving is clearly by the same hand incorporating matching flowerheads and leafy scrollwork albeit with the design incorporating two alternating differing types of flowerhead rather than the same four-petal bloom on the current lot. The frame utilises standard London 'first period' castings with cup-and-cover finials and acorn feet as described by White pages 83-84, where it is noted that they were in use 1620-40. Indeed, the current clock is best described as a 'textbook' example of Closon's work and, through comparisen with other examples by him, helps to demonstrate the high degree of consistency achieved by him during the late 1630s to 40s.The current lot has generally survived in fine original condition. At some point the verge with balance wheel regulation was replaced by anchor escapement with long pendulum swinging behind the frame to the rear. This necessitated removal of the alarm mechanism mounted on the backplate to make room for the pendulum. The clock has subsequently re-converted back to its original balance-wheel layout executed by the late Jeff Darken; the anchor pallets, cocks etc. removed at that time have been retained and are included in the lot. Condition Report: Both the going and strike trains appear to be very original apparently retaining all wheelwork, pinions and arbors except for the fly pinion, escape wheel (although mounted on the original arbor) and the balance. The pulleys appear original but have at some point been pinned for chain drive and then reverted back to rope leaving a series of filed-back steel pins at the base of the valley of each pulley. The steel winding clicks are present and operational. The pinions to both trains show evidence of advanced wear which has been left untouched - the pivots have been re-bushed incorporating packing and other adjustments to ensure that the wheels partially engage with unworn faces of the pinions. This allows the clock to restored to working condition whilst retaining original wheels and pinions. The teeth of the wheels show slight wear but are still within tolerance to allow the clock to run (the steel pinions always wear at a much higher rate than the wheels). The steelwork has been carefully cleaned of corrosion but show some slight historic age-related pitting. The top plate has a pair of filled holes (most likely for the pendulum backcock) otherwise appears as originally made (with balance wheel banking pin holes) except for enlarged slot adjacent to the escapement top allow for the previous anchor pallets. The dial has overall moderate oxidation. The tail of the hand has a split in the forging which is not structural and can only be seen when looking at the hand side-on. The alarm disc is of correct pattern and appears to have age but could possibly be a very well executed replacement. The frets appear original and the frame is in very good original condition although the right hand front finial may have been broken and repaired at the stem (very difficult to tell!). The bell and support are in very good original condition. The hanging hoop, backplate and spurs are replacements (would have been originally fitted with an alarm with the original removed during conversion to anchor escapement and long pendulum). The side doors have age but are most likely not original. Clock generally shows light to moderate oxidation to the brass, the steelwork is generally free form rust/visible corrosion.Clock is complete with lines and weights. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE AND RARE FRENCH QUARTER STRIKING MUSICAL PICTURE CLOCK WITH ANGELUSMAISON WURTEL, PARIS, CIRCA 1860With oil on canvas after David Teniers the younger (1610-90) 'two men playing cards in the kitchen of an Inn' with the composition adapted to incorporate a longcase clock, hinging upwards along with the floral relief moulded gilt composition frame to reveal the internal mechanism comprising four elements; the first a four pillar two train gong striking clock movement of duration of around two weeks with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum and outside countwheel strike on a gong, the frontplate stamped with oval M'ON WURTEL, HORLOGERIE... trademark beneath numbers 743, 9 2, fitted with 1.625 inch circular white enamel Roman numeral dial signed M'ON WURTEL, A PARIS to centre and with steel hands; the second mechanism comprising a separate conforming hour striking train to repeat the hour shortly after the principal movement released via a pivoted detent from the under dial motionwork; the third mechanism released in a similar manner shortly after six o'clock with single barrel and vertical fly driving a pinned wheel to operate the Angelus sequence on a graduated pair of gongs; the fourth a musical mechanism released on the hour and playing a choice of twelve tunes via a 16.5 inch pinned cylinder on a 74 tooth comb, the cylinder mounted on a steel bed stamped with serial number 43418 with indirect chain winding for the large spring barrel opposing fly and controls for tune change/repeat, start/stop and continuous play/hour activation only connected via steel rods to brass pulls positioned to the underside edge of the case, all mounted on the backboard of a shallow box case alongside tune sheet inscribed No. 43418, 12 AIRES to upper margin over manuscript tune list including La fille de Madame Angot, Souvenie de Cock and Mandolinata, the lower margin inscribed Maison WURTEL, Passage Vivienne, 38 et 40, PARIS, the back panel also applied with two additional labels for MAISON WURTEL, E. PIERFORT Suc'r..., and GATTOLLAIT along with a modern brass plaque explaining the function of the plungers for the music mechanism.The image 63.5cm (25ins) by 79.5cm (31.25ins); the case 83cm (32.75ins) high, 99cm (39ins) wide, 19cm (7.5ins) deep. Provenance:From the private collection of a professional sportsman and commentator. Maison Wurtel was founded by Guillaume-Ferdinand Wurtel in around 1837 when he advertised as working from 38-40 Passage Vivienne, Paris. Three years later he was listed in a trade directory as a horological maker and seller offering picture clocks as well as a supplier of concave glasses. In 1841 a magazine, 'La Presse', recommended 'La Maison Wurtel' to their readers informing them that they can buy watches, table clocks, picture clocks, music boxes, alarm clocks and 'objects of fantasy'. In 1856 they exhibited at the 'Exposition of Delepine of Paris' but unfortunately were positioned within the scientific instrument section to the bafflement of visitors. Maison Wurtel were known to have sourced their clock movements form Japy Freres and the musical mechanism within the present lot can be attributed to Auguste L'Epee of Saint-Suzanne, Doubs, France (who worked from 1839 until the end of the century). The Angelus mechanism is a particularly rare feature which traditionally served to accompany the recital of the Angelus prayer in Roman Catholicism. Condition Report: The clock, striking and angelus mechanisms are all in relatively clean original working condition with the various levers and detents present. The musical mechanism is also in relatively clean working condition with no visible losses to the teeth or noticeable corrosion issues. The clock was in use in the vendor's home when consigned however due to the nature of the item some adjustment may be required to ensure all the features operate as an when they should once the picture is hung securely on the wall. The canvas is in good condition with no visible tears or holes of noticeable repairs. The frame is in fine condition with good gilding throughout. The pine back box has some slight wear/bumps (most noticeable to the back corners) as well as other relatively minor age related faults - otherwise is in very good original condition.Clock is complete with pendulum and two winding keys. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE ENGRAVED GILT BRASS GORGE CASED REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCKTHE MOVEMENT STAMPED FOR LOUIS-ALFRED BAVEAUX POSSIBLY FOR HENRI JACOT, PARIS, CIRCA 1875-80The eight-day two train gong striking movement with frosted silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm mechanism planted between the plates at eleven o'clock sounding on the same gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 3028 to lower left-hand corner and the inside stamped with AB trademark over further indistinct number to lower margin, the circular white enamel Roman numeral dial with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and blued steel spade hands set within fine foliate scroll engraved rectangular mask enclosing circular conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the engraved gilt brass gorge case with hinged lobed carrying handle over rectangular top glass within trailing scroll spandrel swag surround over foliate panel engraved bands to top mouldings and channel-moulded uprights, the rear with pin-hinged door over ogee-outline base further engraved with palmettes issuing foliate scrolls within a matted ground.13cm (5.125ins) high with handle down, 8.5cm (3.375ins) wide, 7cm (2.75ins) deep. Louis-Alfred Baveaux is recorded by Leigh Extence as born in 1846 to Claude-Louis Napoleon Baveaux (born in Dieppe 1806) who is thought to have probably worked alongside Henry Jacot in the Saint-Nicholas-d'Aliermont workshops during the 1850's. Louis-Alfred Baveaux followed in his father's footsteps latterly supplying the Jacot family with blanc-roulant movements which mostly bore his initials 'AB' and a serial number to the inside of the frontplate. Baveaux no longer used the 'AB' stamp after 1883 presumably due to going into partnership with other members of his family; the business subsequently became 'Baveaux Freres' after Louis-Alfred's death in 1891. Details such as the vertical uprights to the handle together with the overall feel and quality of the present timepiece very much echoes Henri Jacot's 'house style' suggesting that it may have been finished in his workshops for retail in Paris. Henri Jacot is recorded by in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as working from 31 Rue de Montmorency, Paris as well as possibly having a factory in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont. The business was awarded Bronze Medals at the Paris 'Exposition' in 1855 and in London 1862; Silver in Paris 1867, 78 and 89 and Gold, again in Paris, 1890. Although Charles Allix notes that Henry Jacot senior died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew of the same name further research by Leigh Extence has revealed that after his death Henri's business was actually continued by his brother Julien who was essentially only 'keeping the bench warm' until his son, and Henri's nephew Albert, was able to take over and move the concern forward in 1874. The business is thought to have continued until around 1920. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is free from visible damage as are the case glasses. The gilding is generally very good with only minor wear and some noticeable thinning to the high spots. Generally this clock is in excellent condition.Clock does not have a winding key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

AN AUSTRIAN ENGRAVED GILT BRASS GRANDE-SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK JOSEPH JESSNER, VIENNA, CIRCA 1840The rectangular thirty-hour quadruple going barrel movement striking the quarters on a coiled and sounding and sounding the hour every quarter on a second large gong, the going train with duplex escapement incorporating two escape wheels mounted next to each on the same arbor positioned between the plates, regulated by sprung monometallic balance set behind a pierced balance bridge with jewelled endstone applied to the upper margin of the backplate, the alarm with hammer pivoted towards the lower margin sounding on the smaller gong, the 2.5 inch wide rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands and plain alarm setting hand over signature J. Jessner, in Wien to lower margin, the rectangular gilt brass case with repeat button and concealed hinged carrying handle to the fine rococo scroll engraved top surface, over slender canted upper mouldings incorporating rounded angles and repeating leaf bordered bevel-glazing hinge front panel, the sides engraved with further rococo scrollwork and the rear with shuttered winding holes, A/R regulation sector to centre and engraved Jos, Jessner in Wien to lower margin, on skirt base with floral trail decorated canted upper mouldings and rococo scroll engraved panels flanked by curved angles to each side over disc feet.13cm (5.125ins) high with handle down, 8.5cm (3.375ins) wide, 6cm (2.375ins) deep. Joseph Jessner is believed to have been working in Graz (Austria) in around 1806 before moving to Vienna becoming a Master clockmaker in 1814/15. In 1835 he became clockmaker to the Royal Austrian Court, a position which he held until 1848 (when he presumably died). Jessner was a fine maker with two high-precision regulators housed in the Wien Museum, Vienna. Condition Report: The movement is complete and appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The going train is running, the quarter train is also working but is currently not counting correctly during normal running (but will when repeat is activated) hence requires adjustment. The hour train mainspring has gone hence it is not operational although the train itself appears to be sound. The spring for the alarm train has also gone; the mechanism otherwise looks fine although the hammer is detached. The dial appears to have been restored hence appears free form visible defects. The case is generally in very good original condition retaining original gilding albeit with overall edge rubbing and oxidation. The pointer for the regulation adjustment square to the backplate is missing.Clock does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
