Y A FINE SWISS GREEN BOULLE GRANDE SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCKUNSIGNED, PROBABLY GENEVA, CIRCA 1840The eight-day two train movement configured with ting-tang striking for the quarters on a graduated pair of bells mounted within the base of the case and the hour sounding at every quarter on the larger of the two, the going train with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance, the backplate with alarm winding to top right over visible strike-work incorporating selection square stamped P/G/S towards the margin, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands and Arabic numeral subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel-glazed case overall decorated with green-stained shell and engraved cut-brass premier-parti 'Boulle' marquetry veneers, with shaped hinged brass carrying handle over rectangular top glass within marquetry decorated surround incorporating repeat button to front edge and conforming veneered swept border, above repeating foliate cast brass top moulding and glazed apertures framed by green shell and cut brass veneered surrounds to both the front and sides, the rear with green tortoiseshell veneered door, on leaf-cast ogee moulded skirt base faced with further conforming marquetry veneers over bracket feet.21.5cm (8.5ins) high with handle down, 13.5cm (5.5ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep. The practice of planting the strike-work on the movement backplate is typical of Swiss work, (in particular clocks made in the Neuchatel region) from around 1775; with the Courvoisier family being perhaps the best-known makers of carriage clocks to incorporate this system. A simpler clock, signed for J. Picard of Geneva, which shares some notable similarities within the detailing and layout of the levers of the current lot, is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 244 (Figure 15-6 a and b). A carriage clock (albeit hour striking only without repeat and alarm) housed in a contra-partie version of the case of the present clock was sold at Sheppard's Irish Auction House, Durrow, Co. Laois, 26th February 2019.Condition Report: Movement is in fine, clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial has a very slight blemish adjacent to the mask at the upper edge toward the left hand corner (barely visible even on close examination) otherwise is in free form visible faults. The case is in fine condition with no lifting or losses to the marquetry veneers or visible chips to the glasses. Overall the clock is in very fine almost retail condition.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE II/III MINIATURE OAK HOODED WALL CLOCK CASEANONYMOUS, MID TO LATE 18th CENTURYThe hood with domed caddy superstructure over shallow ogee cornice and front door incorporating a 4.25 by 4.75 inch dial aperture, with plain chin beneath, the bracket with ogee edged throat moulding over twin shaped bracket supports with backboard behind.45cm (17.75ins) high, 21cm (8.25ins) wide, 13.5cm (5.75ins) deep.Condition Report: The hood is lacking glass to the front door as well as the bottom pin hinge (hence is loose) the right hand side is applied with a mask slip, the other three edges (top, bottom and left margin) do not presently have dial mask slips applied. Hood otherwise is in good original condition. The backboard has scooping-out most likely to create additional clearance for a back-mounted alarm mechanism and rope lines. The rear has three iron strap reinforcements to stabilise a glued split that runs top to bottom. Bracket is otherwise in good original condition. Overall the colour/surface is flat/untouched and there is slight opening/dryness to all joints. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GORGE CASED GRANDE SONNERIE STRIKING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH ALARMATTRIBUTED TO JOSEPH SOLDANO, LATE 19th CENTURYThe eight-day two train movement configured with ting-tang striking for the quarters on a graduated pair of coiled gongs and the hour sounding at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, the going train with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and stamped with oblong J.S. cartouche for Joseph Soldano alongside No. 1207 to the leading edge of the platform, the top left of the movement with alarm mechanism sounding on the smaller gong, the inside of the frontplate stamped 3945 and the backplate further stamped 1117 to lower left, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands and subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the satin-gilt brass gorge case with hinged carrying handle over rectangular top glass, trip-repeat button to front rail and channel-moulded uprights, the rear with pin-hinged glazed door over ogee-outline base with three-position selection lever annotated Hours Quarters/Silent/Quarters to underside.15cm (6ins) high with handle down, 10cm (4ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep. The current lot is fitted with an escapement stamped with the 'J S' cartouche trademark for Joseph Soldano who is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as a maker of fine carriage clocks. Soldano was awarded medals at the Paris Exhibitions of 1855 & 1878 where it was noted that 'The escapements appeared to us to have been treated with particular care.' Allix notes that their escapements probably made in Geneva, Switzerland and were often stamped 'Soldano' or 'J S'. Although Joseph Soldano made carriage clocks outright (including highly decorated models) he apparently supplied other makers with his high-quality escapements.Condition Report: The movement appears complete and all-original. The going train is running however the action of the escapement is a little laboured suggesting that a gentle clean/service is required. The grande-sonnerie striking is fully operational including the selection lever to the underside. The alarm is also working and is in-sync with the setting hand. The dial is free from visible blemishes. The case is in fine condition with no visible chips/faults to the glasses and only very slight spotting and grime build-up to the frosted gilt finish.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE EBONISED ARCHITECTURAL MINIATURE LONGCASE TIMEPIECE WITH EARLY TIC-TAC ESCAPEMENT AND ALARMTHE MOVEMENT ATTRIBUTED TO JOHN WISE, LONDON, CIRCA 1673 AND LATERThe four double-baluster turned pillar movement with plates measuring 6.375 by 4 inches enclosing four-wheel train with the earliest form of tic-tac escapement regulated by lenticular bob half-seconds pendulum, the right hand side fitted with a transverse weight-driven alarm mechanism with verge crownwheel and vertically pivoted hammer for sounding on a bell mounted set above the plates, fitted with a 7 inch square gilt brass dial with Arabic hour engraved silvered alarm setting disc to the matted centre within applied narrow silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with cruciform half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the minute track, with fine sculpted steel hands and gilt winged cherub mask spandrels to angles within line border interrupted by engraved text John Wise Londini fecit to lower edge, in a finely executed case most probably constructed using period elements with rising hood incorporating triangular pediment over crisply moulded projecting cornice, Knibb-style alternating scroll-and-circle pierced alarm sound fret to frieze, and Corinthian three-quarter columns with gilt caps and bases flanking fixed the dial aperture, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards rising past the lintel to meet the cornice overhang at the rear, the trunk with convex throat over 38.5 inch slender rectangular door applied with two long around a central short raised panels within a half-round moulded surround, on stepped ogee top plinth base decorated with high-position step to the box.174cm (68.5ins) high, 32cm (12.5ins) wide, 20.8cm (8ins) deep. John Wise senior is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in Banbury, Oxfordshire in 1624 and apprenticed to Peter Closon through Thomas Dawson in 1638, gaining his Freedom in October 1646. He apparently lived in Warwick 1653-68 where he repaired the clocks at St. Nicholas and St. Mary`s churches, the latter providing the venue for the baptism of three of his children. He moved back to London in 1669 where he was re-admitted to the Clockmakers` Company by redemption. He took many apprentices including no less than six of his sons; Richard (Free 1679), John (Free 1683), Thomas (Free 1686), Joseph (Free 1687), Peter (Free 1693) and Luke (Free 1694). He worked from 'neer the Popeshead in Moorfields' and was recorded as a recusant in 1682/3. John Wise senior died in 1690 and was buried at St. Andrew's, Holborn. The double-baluster form of the movement pillars of the current lot can be directly compared to those of a table clock by John Wise sold in these rooms on 6th September 2011 (lot 151) for £46,000 hammer and on a month-duration longcase clock (case later) with 9.5inch dial sold at Cheffins in their Fine Sale 11th September 2019 (lot 427) for £6,000. In addition to the double-baluster design pillars these two clocks also shared the same unusual portrait engraved decoration to the maintaining power winding hole shutters. When considering this unusual pillar design and the overall feel of the movement of the current lot an attribution to the workshop of John Wise would appear certain.The tic-tac escapement of the current lot is of the earliest form utilising an escape wheel with teeth profiles essentially matching those of a 'normal' wheel. This configuration can be compared to that seen on a short duration astronomical timing movement made for St. Andrews University by Joseph Knibb (at the order of astronomer James Gregory) in around 1673 illustrated in Dawson, Percy G.; Drover C.B.; and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks on page 137 (Plate 177). Although the escape wheel and pallet arbor in the present movement appear original the very small pallets are probably replacements most likely required dur to wear; not withstanding this the escapement would appear to be a significant survivor.The dial and case are most likely restorations/recreations executed to the highest standards resulting in an exquisite miniature clock of the finest proportions and detailing befitting of the fine early movement.Condition Report: Movement is in fine condition with original wheel-work to the going train; the second wheel arbor has been repaired with a sleeve and the escape wheel re-pinioned. The pallet arbor appears original but the pallets themselves have probably been reworked. The alarm mechanism appears as it should although the release/locking detent may be a replacement. Although the movement has an overall oxidised/patinated appearance it is in good working order having been carefully conserved to retain old surfacers to the mechanism. The dial is very well made but with some noticeable casting faults to the plate. The mellow colour/patination is very good but we suspect that it may be a very well executed restoration/reconstruction hence is best described as being of indeterminate age. The case is almost certainly of relatively recent construction (within the last 20 years or so) but is exquisitely made, beautifully detailed and of perfect proportions. The carcass almost certainly uses 'period' timber and the overall feeling of age with shrinkage and patination is very well expressed. The only notable blemishes to the case are a slight water stain to the left-hand front hood column and the fact that the trunk door is missing its lock.Timepiece is complete with pendulum, weights and a 17th century style engraved brass winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A SWISS RENAISSANCE IRON CHAMBER CLOCKUNSIGNED, CIRCA 1600The two train weight-driven countwheel bell movement with verge escapement regulated by horizontal balance contained between angled extensions of the front and rear pivot bars, the strike train with single arbor warnless locking released via nag's head engaging with a pin fitted to the rim of the going train greatwheel and overlift provided by a shaped cam cut with a slot for locking, both trains pivoted between iron vertical bars which locate via tenons into slots cut into a horizontal strip at the base, the top secured with another strip terminating with angled ends forged with pierced tenons passing through slots in the uprights and secured by wedges, the iron box-form case with a single lugged bell supported within domed bearer decorated with forged iron flower buds, the front with visible hour wheel and gilt painted arrow-shaped hand reading against a cream painted chapter ring with Gothic Roman numerals within upper and lower borders polychrome painted with symmetrical bird inhabited foliate scrolls on a chocolate brown ground beneath moulded gilt band and panel painted with an owl within conforming field, the sides with hinged doors secured by sprung clasps and painted with conforming large floral sprays, the rear with forged hanging hoop and spurs, (escapement restored, case decoration refreshed, left side door probably replaced, lacking weights and lines).26.5cm (10.5ins) high, 12cm (4.75ins) wide, 13,5cm (5.25ins) deep. The general construction and layout of the current lot can be directly compared to a spring-driven example illustrated in Bassermann-Jordan, Ernst von THE BOOK OF OLD CLOCKS AND WATCHES (English version translated by H. Alan Lloyd) on page 203 which is described as probably made in Zurich about 1630-40. The basic construction of the movement frame (formed essentially as a vertical rectangular loop around the movement) has its roots in the earliest form of domestic striking clock and can be directly compared with a clock dating to around 1500 illustrated in Muhle, Richard and Vogel, Horand M. Alte Uhren (Verlag Georg D.W. Callway, Munchen 1976) on page 152 (figure 256).Condition Report: Movement - All wheelwork with the exception of the escapewheel and balance appear original, the greatwheels have four crossings, all other wheels have three, all arbors except the escapewheel arbor are faceted. Both pulleys appear to be replacements mounted onto the original greatwheel arbors. As catalogued the current escapement is a restoration. Evidence in the movement bars and backplate indicate that the clock was once fitted with an anchor escapement with pendlum swinging to the rear. In order to allow clearance for the anchor pallet arbor the fly was moved to one side and pivoted between extension plates riveted to the centre and rear movement bars, the fly has now been returned to its original position and the later plate extension pieces removed (leaving stopped rivet holes and other witness marks). There is a mall keyhole shaped hole and two small rectangular slots (one in the front movement bar, the other to the top bar just in front of the balance arbor), the purpose of these is unknown but unlikely to be from an alarm mechanism due to lack of space for lines to pass beneath hence most likely to be from another escapement configuration fitted to the clock at some time (possibly French vertical verge and pendulum arrangement as often seen on Comtoise region clocks?). The nag's head lifting piece, locking detent and arbor are replacements however the curved pivot carriers fitted to the from and rear movement bars appear original. The hour wheel appears original but is now on a replacement arbor/pivot and is driven by a replacement four-prong pinion of report fitted to the original greatwheel arbor. Case - Dial plate appears original and is forged in two sections joined behind the moulding above the chapter ring and is in turn rivetted to two forged uprights each with angled brackets applied with threaded stub at each end (for fitting to the case top and bottom plates). The dial has been repainted and the rear of the plate has also been cleaned and painted. The rear of the case also appears original and is made from two relatively thin guage metal vertical panels which overlap and are rivetted together. This is then fitted onto two metal bars as pof the dial. The rear of the backplate has two horizontal strips rivetted which carry the hanging hoop and spurs and are formed into hinge knuckles for the side doors ar each end.  The backplate appears to retain old surface and has two filled (with lead solder) holes left over from the earlier conversion to anchor escapement (from pallet arbor and pendulum backcock). The left hand door is a replacement made from poorly matched iron plate with curious texture (left over from the panels earlier use) and does not fit well. The right hand door appears original and retains its clasp. the baseplate also appears to be original and is fitted with replaced pivot arm (to transfer motion from the strike hammer pins to the vertical hammer pivot) to original pivot forged to the underside of the plate. Their are a few small redundant holes to the baseplate suggesting that the clock may have been located onto a wall bracket at sometime.  The top plate is almost certainly a replacement made from salvaged iron plate as it is thicker gauge than the rest of the case and three of the four surfaces (and the various holes in the plate) appear relatively fresh. The bell support appears to have age and seems to be made from forged rather than sheet metal however it is difficult to be entirely sure whether it is original or not. The bell is a replacement with the lugged fitting being applied (via a screw from beneath) to a bell of standard construction. The clock is missing two of the eight case screws (which hold top and bottom plates to frame uprights). Clock is currently not in working order due to slightly loose balance top pivot and dislocated pawl spring to the winding pulley click. No doubt other minor fettling will also be required to bring it back to working condition.  There are weights or line present with the clock. Condition Report Disclaimer

A CHARLES II MINIATURE BRASS LANTERN TIMEPIECE WITH ALARMSIGNED FOR JOHN KNIBB, OXFORD, CIRCA 1680The going train with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum swinging outside of the frame to the rear and motionwork for two hands, the rear with alarm mechanism incorporating verge crown wheel driving vertically pivoted yoke-shaped hammer fitted to the backplate and sounding on the inside of the bell mounted above, the dial with rose-decorated alarm disc within a band of engraved scrolling flowering foliage issuing from a three-petal bloom to the lower margin to centre, within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with squat fleur-de-lys half hour markers and punched dot minute marks to outer track, the frame with one-piece corner castings formed as Doric columns beneath vase finials with collar-turned shoulders, the front and sides applied with symmetrical pierced cast and engraved brass dolphin pattern frets with the front incorporating inscription John Knibb to the lower margin, beneath domed bell bearer capped with a conforming vase finial, with brass side doors, twin iron hanging hoops and spurs to rear, on integral ball-shaped feet, (with probable restoration).23cm (9ins) high, 9cm (3ins) deep, 10.5cm (4.5ins) deep. John Knibb was born in 1650 and was apprenticed to his older brother, Joseph, in around 1664. When Joseph moved to London in 1670 to set up business (presumably in the workshop inherited from his uncle, Samuel) John took on the Oxford workshop gaining the Freedom of the city on payment of a fine in 1673. Joseph Knibb retired in 1697 selling up most of his workshop before moving to Hanslop, Buckinghamshire where he made a few clocks prior to his death in 1711. John Knibb became a high profile figure within the City of Oxford twice becoming Mayor, he continued in business until his death in 1722. Due to the comparative rarity of clocks signed by John Knibb it has been suggested that his workshop may have generally served to supply Joseph's larger concern in London. The strong similarities between John's best work and those signed by Joseph would certainly support this view. However it is also clear that John was a high profile tradesman in the City of Oxford who trained no less than ten apprentices, therefore it is perhaps more likely that, although the two workshops were closely connected, they generally worked separately to supply clocks to differing groups of clients. The present lot would appear to conform with the earlier group of miniature lantern clocks produced both during Joseph's time in Oxford (up to around 1671) and subsequently by John Knibb. These clocks are generally characterised by their one-piece corner castings incorporating well-detailed vase finials decorated with a distinctive incised band just beneath the shoulder. Latterly (perhaps from around 1680) the Knibb workshops generally adopted different castings which incorporated simple small concave sided projections for the finials and button feet. Several examples with the 'earlier' type of frame are illustrated in White, George English Lantern Clocks on pages 257-58 (Figures V/108-11) and again in detail on page 261 (Figure V122), whilst an example of the later type is featured on the front cover of Hana, W.F.J. English Lantern Clocks. Although the current timepiece appears to utilise the earlier type of castings they have perhaps been more tightly turned/finished a little less generously than usual.In conjunction with the vase finial frame castings the Knibb workshops invariably used dolphin pattern frets which are described by George White as a being 'wafer thin' and, more often than not, carried the signature along the lower border. The frets on the current lot can certainly be described as thin, delicate castings. The engraving to the dial centre is very close to that of the later-type frame example illustrated by Hana, however the squat fleur-de-lys half-hour markers appear identical to those on a clock, this time with the earlier vase finial frame castings, by John Knibb illustrated in Lee, Ronald A. The Knibb Family * Clockmakers on page 162 (Plate 176). From these details it would be perhaps appropriate to suggest that the present timepiece was made as the earlier vase finial castings were being phased-out in favour of the later simpler frame.The two-handed configuration of the present timepiece is unusual but not unheard of with regards to Lantern clocks in general. Indeed two-handed clock (albeit quarter chiming) Lantern clock by John Knibb is illustrated by George White on page 260 (Figure V/117). This clock also has 'dot' minute markers (as part of the outer track). There is a possibility that the present clock has been converted to two-handed configuration, if this is the case then it has been executed to a very high standard. Finally, when the considering the present the clock as a whole, other details typical of those originating from the Knibb workshops can be seen; most notably the shaping of the escapement top potance and backcock, as well as the presence of two hanging eyes fixed to the rear of the top plate.Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with delicate wheelwork commensurate with the Knibb workshops. The pivot holes show no evidence of re-bushing or noticeable wear; the pinions also exhibit little in the way of wear. Due to the lack of wear evident we cannot rule-out whether the train is a restoration however it is not unusual for such timepieces to exhibit little use as historically they were often only used occasionally (whilst travelling). There is no obvious evidence that the greatwheel arbor has been modified to allow combined hour and minute gears to be fitted (rather than just having a square for the pinion of report) hence it would appear that the train was made for two-handed motionwork. The alarm mechanism is in similar condition to the going train - ie. complete and well-made but shows negligeable wear.The dial is in fine original condition and, as catalogued, conforms with those seen on other examples emanating from the Knibb workshops. The alarm disc is most likely a restoration. The hands are very well made but are somewhat 'clean' in appearance. The 'dot' minute markers to the outer edge of the chapter ring do not appear to have been added recently hence there is a strong argument that they were executed at the time the chapter ring was made. The frame is in sound original condition however the shaft to the front left hand upright has an inserted section around 1.5 inches long let-in. This is most likely to repair a casting fault at the time of making and is mostly obscured by the chapter ring and side door. The rear left hand finial is a replacement. The top and bottom plates exhibit no evidence of alteration. The frets appear original although the left-hand side fret is not fully finished. The bell bearer is probably a replacement and the bell itself has been repaired (although it rings fine). The side doors appear correct, the left-hand door has a slight casting fault. The hanging hoops and spurs appear a little 'clean' hence may be restorations although the threads securing the spikes are correctly hand cut and show signs of age (slight corrosion and wear). Timepiece is complete with rope lines and weights. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE AND HOROLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT JAMES I 'FIRST PERIOD' LANTERN CLOCKWILLIAM BOWYER, LONDON, CIRCA 1620The separately wound trains with iron-cheeked pulleys to the great wheels, the going train with reinstated verge escapement regulated by horizontal balance oscillating above the frame top plate, the strike train sounding the hours on a lugged bell mounted above the frame via an iron countwheel with overlift provided by an iron-walled hoop wheel cut with a single slot, the dial finely engraved with a large chrysanthemum bloom over twin entwined stalks set within a field of scrolling flowering foliage to centre, within applied narrow silvered Roman numeral chapter ring incorporating floating asterisk half hour markers and concealing fine signature William Bowyer of Lon Fecit engraved in a downward curve to the plate behind the lower part, with fine sculpted steel hand and foliate engraved infill matching that of the centre occupying the upper quadrants and the lower margin, the frame with finely turned generous Doric column corner posts beneath distinctive ovoid vase finials with banded waists, the front and sides applied with symmetrical scroll pierced cast brass frets with the front incorporating foliate engraved detail, beneath domed iron bell bearer capped with a conforming vase finial incorporating pinned plinth upstand for securing the lugged bell, with brass side doors and the rear with iron hanging hoop over spurs applied to the brass backplate, on collar-turned ball feet.40cm (15.75ins) high, 15cm (6ins) wide, 18.5cm (7.25ins) deep.William Bowyer is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as the son of Ralph Bowyer (yeoman of Warfield Berkshire) who is believed to have been married to Alice Mansworth in 1590. William was probably born around this time and by 1616 was a member of the Pewterers' Company when he took-in Thomas Taylor (son of Ralph Taylor, a milliner from Halesowen, Shropshire) as an apprentice. Bowyer took-in no less than five further apprentices prior to the formation of the Clockmakers' Company in 1631, including John Pennock (son of William Pennock of Guisborough, Yorkshire) in 1620. Although he subscribed £5 towards its charter and was made free of the City in 1630, William Bowyer did not apparently join the Worshipful Company on its establishment the following year.Bowyer is thought to have been first married to Margery Barlow of Litchfield, Staffordshire, however, by 1631 he was married to Prudence with whom he had five children (three of which sadly died in infancy). By 1638 Bowyer was living in the parish of St. Andrew Undershaft, he took-in Joseph Jackson (through Thomas Dawson) as apprentice that year and during the following decade took-on at least four more, this time through the Clockmakers' Company. One of these apprentices was Nathanial Allen (probably around 1641/2); Allen subsequently married a Phillipa Bowyer in 1646 hence became related to William through marriage.In 1640 William Bowyer was invited to become an Assistant of the Clockmakers' Company, however it appears that he was reluctant to serve the Company as in July 1642 he gave 'a great chamber clock' in return for excusal from any further duties. Nevertheless he became an Assistant in 1651 and a Warden in 1653 the year of his death.The present clock belongs to a group of less than half-a-dozen surviving particularly early examples made by Bowyer either just before or around 1620. Of the others the first (dated 1617) was sold at Bonhams, London sale of Fine Clocks 11th July 2018 (lot 60 for £43,750) and the second is illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers on page 79 (Figures 7.1-4). Another is illustrated in White, George English Lantern Clocks onpage 101 (Figure II/125 showing movement only), and possibly a fourth on page 113 (Figure II/145).All of the above examples share the same frame castings which are very closely related to those used by the earliest of English Lantern clock makers, brothers Robert and Thomas Harvey. These frames are characterised by having well-proportioned Doric column corner posts surmounted by slightly shouldered ovoid vase finials each decorated with a ring around the waist beneath a disc knop. The ball feet are also cast with a collar matching that of the finials. Indeed when the frame of the present clock is compared with that of an example by Thomas Harvey illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers it can be seen that the castings differ only in very slight detail.In addition to sharing the same design of frame castings it has been noted by Brian Loomes in his article William Bowyer, an exciting and important discovery published in 'Clocks' magazine, June 2018 (pages 9-12) that the movement pivot bar castings follow the same form as those used by Robert and Thomas Harvey. This suggests that these castings may have a common source, most likely the Harvey workshop. It is therefore likely that, during his formative years, William Bowyer had some form of connection with this very important workshop. From the images available it can be seen (with the possible exception of the last clock illustrated by White on page 113) that this group of clocks are all essentially identical with regards to the layout and detailing of the movements. All have iron countwheels, iron-walled hoopwheels, straight hammer checks and iron cheeks to the pulleys (where the originals survive). They also share the same frets hence only essentially differ in the treatment of the dials, and whether an alarm was originally fitted. These inherent similarities suggest, that even at this very early date, a degree of standardisation was being adopted mostly through the use of common castings.The present clock is noticeably well finished with each of the cruciform movement pivot bars having decorative scroll-shaped detailing just above the hammer arbor pivots. This attention to detail is carried forward to the dial which exhibits fine albeit unusual foliate decoration to the entirety of the dial centre. It is perhaps interesting to compare this decoration with that of Bowyers celebrated 'Memento Mori' great chamber clock of 1623 illustrated in Bruce, W.F. EARLY ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCKS 1600-1700 (2013) on page 17. Although the decoration of this larger clock lacks a large flowerhead (or any other large single element) the foliate infill has a similar feel to that of the present clock, albeit in a perhaps slightly more developed form incorporating scrolls and loops to the design.Please see the page-turning catalogue to continue reading the final part of this footnote. 

A QUEEN ANNE EBONISED THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCK WITH ALARMWILLIAM BROCK, AXBRIDGE, CIRCA 1715The substantial posted countwheel bell striking single-handed movement with rectangular section steel uprights and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the alarm mechanism positioned to the lower right hand side of the movement and sounding on the hour bell via verge crownwheel and vertically pivoted hammer, the 10 inch square brass dial with generous rose engraved alarm disc to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with cruciform half-hour markers and signed W'm Brock, Axbridge to lower margin, with scroll-pierced iron hand and gilt twin-cherub-and-crown cast spandrels to angles, in an ebonised pine case with box upstand to the domed caddy superstructure and generous ogee moulded cornice over hinged glazed dial aperture applied with parcel gilt three-quarter columns to angles, the sides with rectangular glazed windows and conforming quarter columns set at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding over 43 inch rectangular door centred with a brass-edged circular lenticle, on plinth base with moulded skirt.222.5cm (82ins) high, 49.5cm (19.5ins) wide, 29cm (11.5cm) deep. William Brock is recorded in Moore, A.J. THE CLOCKMAKERS OF SOMERSET 1650-1900 as living in Cheddar but working from Axbridge from 1707 until around 1730. From Moore's notes he appeared to principally work as a turret clock maker and repairer; however entries in Dr. Claver Morris's diary indicate that he was a very competent maker as these relate to the 'mending of my repeater' (watch) and the making of 'a very fine Month Clock with a Pendulum of 5 feet long'.Condition Report: Movement appears entirely original and is complete with no visible alterations, significant replacements or losses. The mechanism is dirty/discoloured/patinated but is essentially in working order albeit with some noticeable pinion wear. The dial appears all original but again is in dull/dirty condition with the exception of the spandrels which exhibit strong rich gilding.The seatboard is a replacement hence we cannot offer any assurance with regards to the movement and dial being original to the case although they are a very good match. The case has survived in essentially sound original condition; the domed caddy superstructure is a restoration and the lower nine inches or so of the backboard has been replaced otherwise the case appears fundamentally original but re-ebonised over historic surface worm damage and other historic bumps, scuffs, minor repairs and age related defects.Clock has a weight but no pendulum or case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM III BRASS LANTERN CLOCK JONATHAN GREENHILL, MAIDSTONE, CIRCA 1695The posted countwheel bell striking movement with Huygens's endless winding and later anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum swinging outside of the frame of the clock to the rear, the dial with leafy scroll engraved concentric band issuing from a rose bloom at six o'clock to centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, signed Jn'o Greenhill, at Maidstone to lower margin and with engraved leafy infill to angles, the frame with column-turned corner posts beneath dolphin inhabited foliate pierced frets, vase finials and domed bell bearer, the sides now with japanned metal doors and the rear with hanging hoop over conforming backplate, (originally with verge escapement regulated by pendulum swinging between the trains, alarm removed and lacking feet).36cm (14.25ins) high, 17cm (6.75ins) wide, 19cm (7.5ins) deep. John Greenhill is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 (noting research by Michael Person) as born in Maidstone in 1655 and gaining his freedom in 1674. As well as a clockmaker he was also a gunsmith, he married Alice Harris (sister of the clockmaker Walter Harris) in 1680 and died in 1712. Loomes notes several longcases are known and two lantern clocks including an example signed 'Johannes Grennell de Maidston fecit'.Condition Report: The trains have been re-pinioned and the escapement converted from verge with centre-swinging pendulum to anchor with long pendulum swinging at the rear. The alarm mechanism has also been removed otherwise movement is in good original condition but is very dirty/dusty and running with chains. The dial has been cleaned in the past hence has lost its silvering to the chapter ring; the alarm disc is also no longer present otherwise appears to be in good original albeit dirty condition. The frets appear original although the right hand is missing a securing lug and both lugs have been repaired on the left-hand fret. Frame is missing its feet otherwise is in good original condition; the rear panel and side doors are replacements. Clock has pendulum and a weight. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE FRENCH GILT BAMBOO REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH RELIEF CLOISSONNE ENAMEL PANELSDROCOURT, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURYThe eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm mechanism positioned to the top left sounding on the hour gong, the backplate stamped with oval DC trademark to centre left over serial number 21095, the rectangular cream ground cloisonne enamel dial with golden yellow ground Arabic numeral chapter ring set within asymmetric polychrome flowering foliage inhabited by nesting birds and incorporating a subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt brass bevel glazed bamboo case with frame modelled to resemble sections of grained bamboo overlapping at the corners, the top with conforming hinged carrying handle and panel-glazed escapement aperture and the sides inset with impressive relief modelled cream ground polychrome cloisonné enamel panels depicting a peacock perched amongst chrysanthemums to the right hand side opposing a rooster standing beneath flowering shrubbery to the left, the rear with bevel-glazed door and standing on integral bamboo stump feet.16.5cm (6.5ins) high with handle down, 11cm (4.375ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep.  Pierre Drocourt is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development with further additions and corrections from research undertaken by Leigh Extence (available online) as born in 1819 and setting up in business as a clockmaker in Paris in 1853. He initially worked from Rue Limoges (later called 28 Rue Debelleyme after the rationalisation and merger of Streets in 1865), Paris and was succeeded by his son, Alfred (born 1847), in 1872. The blancs roulants, rough movements, were made in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont, a town outside Dieppe, where Drocourt had workshops until their sale in 1904, being premises purchased from Holingue frères in 1875 who had previously supplied Drocourt. The firm was awarded numerous international exhibition medals and mentions including Silver in Paris 1878 and Gold in 1889. The highly unusual enamel panels fitted to the current clock carefully and cleverly employ a mixture of opaque and translucent enamels to create depth, texture and lustre which varies under different lighting conditions. Some areas in particular, such as those representing the tail plumage of the peacock, utilise engraved and chiselled detail within metal ground plate to great effect by allowing reflected to pass through vibrant pigmented transparent enamel surface layers. In addition to this the dial panel utilises the cloisonne technique for the chapter ring numerals and the dot minute markers, the alarm setting dial is also finished in the same manner which has required particularly fine work in the execution of the numerals. Clocks with this particular type of relief cloisonne enamel decoration appear to be extremely rare, however an example almost certainly from the same workshop is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE CLOCKS and Other Travelling CLOCKS on page 203 (Fig. 12-12).Condition Report: Movement appears complete, all-original and is fully working including the strike, repeat and alarm. Although the mechanism is in relatively clean condition a precautionary gentle service is advised if intending to put the clock into service. The dial has an extremely faint hairline to the cream ground across the upper right-hand corner (only visible on very close examination) otherwise is in fine condition. The enamel side panels present as in fine condition however in close examination some restoration to the cream ground to the upper right-hand corner of the 'peacock' panel (right-hand side) and to cream at the upper left-hand margin of the cockerel panel (left hand side) is evident. There is also some extremely slight hairline crazing to the cream near the feet of the cockerel. The gilding to the case is in fine condition; the top panel has a very small depression near the front edge (pin-head size). The glasses appear free from visible damage.Clock has a non-original winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A CHARLES II BRASS LANTERN CLOCKWILLIAM HOLLOWAY, STROUD, DATED (16)78The separately wound trains with brass cheeked pulleys now running with chains, the going train with reinstated verge escapement regulated by short pendulum incorporating anchor-shaped flutes to the bob swinging within the frame at the rear, the strike train sounding the hours on a bell mounted above the frame via a countwheel, the dial with vacant circle within concentric band of engraved scrolling foliage issuing from a flowerhead to the lower margin and interrupted by engraved signature William Holloway, of Stroud '78 to the upper edge, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring incorporating wheatear half hour markers, with sculpted steel hand and radial leaf engraved infill to the corners, the frame with one-piece corner castings formed as Doric columns beneath vase finials with acorn shaped caps, the front and sides applied with symmetrical scroll pierced cast brass frets with the front incorporating foliate engraved detail, beneath domed bell bearer capped with a vase finial, with original concentric ring decorated brass side doors and iron hanging hoop to rear, on integral inverted acorn shaped feet.41cm (16.25ins) high, 16.5cm (6.5ins) wide18.5cm (7.25ins) deep. William Holloway is recorded in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers as the son of the clockmaker John Holloway born in 1732 at Market Lavington, Wiltshire. In 1658 he moved, along with his father and younger brother Richard, to Stroud in order to take-on the workshop of the recently deceased John Snow. Holloway was married to Hester Hieron in 1664 and continued working until his death in 1694. William Holloway had three sons one of which, John, continued the business in Stroud after his death; the other two, William and Arthur, moved to London to pursue the trade in the capital.  William Holloway was a confident, accomplished and relatively prolific maker who used distinctive castings for his frames which appear almost unique to the Holloway family. His early clocks (1661 to circa 1680) used castings loosely based on the London second period style but were one-piece (i.e. finials and feet were cast integral with the posts) with tall slender finials capped by distinctive acorn turnings. Three examples by Holloway with this type of frame are illustrated in White, George English Lantern Clocks on page 246 (Figures V/78-80). The second type of frame used was much more akin to the standard London third period pattern but again employed one-piece castings and appeared to be short-lived as they are only seen on clocks dating to the first five or six years of the 1680's (see White, page 247, Figure V/81). The third pattern was again based on London third period practice but was much more generous with distinctly bulbous swellings to the finials and feet, two clocks with this type of frame are illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers pages 207 and 209 Figures 13.8 and 13.13. Other traits of Holloways work include the continued use of separate winding for each train long after most other makers had adopted Huygens' single-weight endless rope system. Clocks with separately wound trains are characterised by having hour bell hammers positioned to the right hand side of the movement. Loomes suggests that Holloway may have continued this practice as it allowed straightforward disablement of the strike train by simply removing or not winding the strike weight. Another unusual feature peculiar to Holloway was that he often used four wheel trains in order to give a longer duration. The current lot is a typical of Holloway's first phase of work with one-piece castings incorporating acorn-shaped feet and caps to the finials. Indeed the clock can be very closely compared to another example by Holloway dated 1674 illustrated by George White on page 246 (Figure V/79).Condition Report: As catalogued the movement has been re-converted to its original configuration of verge escapement with short pendulum having previously been converted to anchor escapement regulated by long pendulum swinging outside of the case to the rear. The re-conversion has been executed to reasonable standard however the contrate and escapewheel are noticeable replacements due to having slightly different feel (mostly in their weight) to remaining original wheelwork. The potances are well-executed and appear to utilise the original holes; the anchor-shaped pendulum bob is probably a little heavy and has been re-attached using solder. The top plate has spare holes to the rear edge from the previous anchor long pendulum backcock and an enlarged slot beneath the escape wheel to provide space for the previous anchor pallets escapement. The going train second wheel arbor (original) has ben thinned adjacent to the pinion to allow additional clearance for the previous anchor escape wheel. In addition to the above evidence of previous conversion to anchor escapement to long pendulum there is an additional pair of pivot holes (towards the top of the front and centre movement bars) the indicating that the clock may have also been fitted with an anchor escapement with short pendulum (facilitated by increasing the train to four wheels). It is possible that the pendulum for this configuration utilised the same space as the present pendulum which would account for the slot cut in the bottom plate beneath the anchor-shaped bob to allow additional clearance for slightly longer pendulum. The backplate is no longer present and was most likely removed along with the alarm mechanism which would have been mounted to the exterior of the plate at the time of conversion to long pendulum. The original hanging hoop is still present; the corresponding spurs would have most likely been fitted to backplate hence it is most probable that the clock was housed in a tall 'pencil case' type longcase after conversion to long pendulum.Except for the escapement both trains appear to be entirely original and in good order; the pulleys probably originally ran with rope lines. Although the clock is in working order a gentle service/lubrication is advised. The dial is in good original condition with some historic scratching, wear and surface casting texture to the vacant centre where the alarm disc would have been (removed at time of conversion to long escapement); the hand appears original and is nicely made. The frame is in fine original condition and the frets appear original. The bell is a replacement (domed support appears original); the top finial is also a replacement. The side doors are rare original survivors.Clock has two lead weights. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN UNUSUAL FRENCH PORCELAIN PANEL MOUNTED GILT BRASS ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK IN A ONE-PIECE CASEMOSER, PARIS, CIRCA 1840The two train countwheel bell striking movement with platform lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, the backplate signed Moser a Paris and numbered 8058 to lower margin, the inside lower edge of the frontplate further stamped 2453, the circular white enamel Roman numeral dial with pierced blued steel trefoil hands set within fine foliate scroll gilt brass rectangular mask incorporating a conforming enamel Arabic numeral subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel-glazed one-piece case with rococo scroll cast hinged carrying handle over top glass applied with a raised oval porcelain plaque polychrome painted with an 18th century style female portrait within gilt cartouche and blue ground border set within canted gilt brass surround flanked by foliate scroll-pierced fretwork, the caddy moulded frame cast and chased in relief with fine fruiting foliage incorporating crossed ribbon decoration to uprights, the side glasses applied with conforming raised oval porcelain panels decorated with putti, each set between a pierced and engraved foliate strapwork crest and apron, the rear door with further large panel painted with an 18th century musician playing a lute within pierced upper and lower border infill, on repeating leaf chased cavetto skirt base with inset rounded angles.15cm (6ins) high with handle down, 10.5cm (4.125ins) wide, 9.5cm (3.75ins) deep. Recent research by Leigh Extence has established that Georges Moser was born in Switzerland in 1798. By 1823 he had moved to Paris and was located at 18 Grenier St. Lazarre (which became number 15 in 1825). In 1836 Moser had moved to Boulevard du Temple 9 and subsequently entered into partnership with Samuel Marti in 1840. The partnership was registered at the address Orleans-Marais 13 until 1843 when Moser left and returned to Boulevard du Temple 9 before moving to number 24 in 1846 and then finally to number 15 in 1850. In 1860 the business was registered with 'et Cie' and records ceased after 1863.Extence also notes that Georges Moser utilised movements supplied by Holingue freres who also supplied Paul Garnier and were an important part of the history of Drocourt.Condition Report: Movement is clean condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The strike and alarm mechanisms are fully operational; the going train will run but escapement sticks which is most likely due to lubrication drying-out. The dial enamel appear to be free from visible faults and the mask is in good condition with no visible wear or faults. The case is in very good original condition with minimal edge wear and discolouration to the gilding. The top glass has a slight chip to the rear edge and the rear door has a small chip to the lower right corner otherwise the glasses appear free from visible damage. The porcelain panels are in fine condition with no visible cracks or evidence of restoration; the gilt details show minimal wear.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
