A FRENCH GORGE CASED GRANDE SONNERIE STRIKING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH ALARMUNSIGNED BUT PROBABLY BY HENRI JACOT, PARIS, CIRCA 1870The 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 regulated by silvered platform lever escapement with sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the inside of both plates stamped 494 and the backplate further stamped 1976 to lower left, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands and subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt brass gorge case with hinged carrying handle over rectangular top glass, trip-repeat button to front rail and channel-moulded uprights, the ogee-outline base with three-position selection lever annotated G'DE SONNERIE. CLOCK / SILENCE. SILENT / P'TE SONNERIE. QUARTERS. 14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.5cm (3.375ins) deep, Details such as the straight uprights of the handle and full-width rectangular top glass can be compared to an engraved example by Henri Jacot illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other TRAVELLING CLOCKS on page 148 (Figure 9-18). The escapement platform can also be closely compared to one fitted to a grande sonnerie clock by Jacot (number 825) which is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKs, Their history and development on page 114 (Plate V/14). Henri Jacot is recorded by Allix 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: Clock is running and the grande-sonnerie striking is working correctly except that the lever to the base will continue to strike full grande-sonnerie when in the petit-sonnerie position (silent position operates correctly). The alarm mechanism is in working order. The movement generally is in relatively clean condition although a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised. The dial appears free form visible faults. The case is generally in fine condition with no visible chips or other damage to the glasses. The gilding has overall wear and the protective lacquer is starting to break down causing patchy discolouration in places.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GORGE CASED CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PUSH-BUTTON REPEAT AND ALARMRETAILED BY GROHE, LONDON, CIRCA 1860The eight-day two-train bell striking movement regulated by frosted gilt platform lever escapement incorporating sprung bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the hour bell, the inside of the frontplate stamped 1793 over 6826 and the backplate further stamped 1793 to lower left-hand corner, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial signed GROHE, WIGMORE STREET, LONDON to centre and with with blued steel moon hands over subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the 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 brass door incorporating shuttered winding and adjustment holes each labelled with their various functions and direction of wind, on ogee-outline base.13cm (5.125ins) high with handle down, 8.5cm (3.375ins) wide, 7.5cm (3ins) deep. James Grohe is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in London 1832-81. Leigh Extence notes his address being 7 Wigmore Street and that he retailed clocks supplied by both Holingue and Drocourt.Condition Report: The movement appears all-original and is in fine clean working condition although the alarm hand is out-of-sync with the release of the alarm. The dial appears free from visible damage however the alarm hand is slightly bent with the loop forming the tail distorted. The case is in fine condition with good even gilding. The front glass has some scratching towards the lower edge, the right hand glass has a small chip to the front upper corner and the top glass also has a small corner chip to the rear right hand corner. The rear door panel shows some light surface blemishes and wear beneath the gilding.Clock is complete with a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT BRASS GORGE CASED GRANDE SONNERIE STRIKING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH ALARMTHE ESCAPEMENT STAMPED FOR JOSEPH SOLDANO, PARIS, CIRCA 1865The eight-day two train movement configured with ting-tang striking for the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and the hour sounding at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with alarm sounding on a small bell, the going train regulated by silvered platform lever escapement with sprung split bimetallic balance stamped with rectangular J.S cartouche and engraved No. 304, the inside of the frontplate stamped 13727 and the backplate further stamped 704 to centre, 4449 to lower left and with engraved Silence/q't. of bells/quarters strike selection lever to right hand margin, the dial with engine-turned rectangular gilt mask enclosing circular white enamel Roman numeral circular insert with pale puce ground band to chapter ring and blued steel spade hands, the lower margin with conforming recessed Arabic numeral alarm setting dial, the satin-gilt gorge case with hinged carrying handle over glazed top glass enclosing engine-turned mask with oval aperture for the escapement, with channel moulded uprights, glazed rear door and ogee-moulded base.14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.5cm (3.375ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. 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 CLOCK, 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.The combination of engine-turned detailing to the dial and oval panel to the top glass together with the castings for the handle and gorge case would appear almost identical to that of a clock with running seconds by LeRoy and Fils sold in these rooms on Wednesday 6th October 2021 (lot 110). This clock was also fitted with a Soldano escapement and had a similar sequence of stamped serial numbers both to the inside of the frontplate and to the backplate (15687, 728 and 4756 respectively). From this it would be appropriate to suggest that this and the present clock and were made in the same workshop but the latter was probably intended to be supplied by Soldano; this possibility is further supported by the presence of a stamped number (304) matching that of the escapement to the underside of the case.The positioning of the grande-sonnerie strike selection lever to the rear of the backplate (rather than to the base of the case) of the present clock is an unusual detail.Condition Report: The movement appears complete and original including the escapement and is in working order. The grande-sonnerie striking mechanism is working correctly including the selection lever on the backplate. The alarm winding square has unfortunately been snapped-off hence alarm cannot be currently wound - the square is present so could possibly be repaired by a suitable skilled clockmaker. The mechanism generally is a little dirty/discoloured hance a gentle clean/service is advised. The dial appears free from any visible damage with flawless gilding to the mask. The case is in very fine condition with near-flawless gilding exhibiting one small spot of discolouration to the rear right hand upright, and some extremely light tarnishing to the handle and base mouldings. Otherwise faults to the surface are very much limited to one or two of the tiniest bruises. The glasses appear free from visible damage including corner chips.There is no winding key present with the clock. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE SWISS ENGRAVED GILT BRASS PETIT-SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING GIANT CALENDAR ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCKUNSIGNED, PROBABLY GENEVA, CIRCA 1840-50The two train eight-day movement with scroll-engraved gilt brass platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the strike train sounding the hours on a bell and with ting-tang notation for the quarters on the same and another smaller bell contained within the base of the case, the backplate with visible strikework incorporating strike selection lever labelled P/G/S and with alarm mechanism positioned to the top right sounding on the hour bell via a separate vertically pivoted hammer, the 5 by 4 inch rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with armorial for the Hesketh-Fleetwood family to centre and blued steel hands over subsidiary alarm setting dial next to and date of the month dial to lower margin, the engraved gilt brass multi-piece bevel-glazed case with hinged carrying handle over rectangular glass with rounded angles to the repeating scroll engraved top incorporating repeat plunger to front over repeating lozenge decorated cavetto cornice and hinged front door similarly engraved with zig-zag designs to frame and flanked by leafy trail decorate caddy moulded angles, the rear matching the front over cavetto tall skirt base with rounded angles and further engraved with band of lozenges over generous foliate scrollwork.20cm (8ins) high with handle down, 13cm (5ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. The armorial to the dial is thought to relate to the Hesketh-Fleetwood family however the cataloguer has been unable to verify this possibility. 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 RARE FRENCH GILT BRASS MINIATURE CARRIAGE TIMEPIECE WITH FINE FLORENTINE PIETRA-DURA PANELSTHE DIAL SIGNED FOR H. BOZI, FLORENCE, LATE 19TH CENTURYThe rectangular eight-day single train movement with silvered platform lever escapement and stamped with number 6216 to the lower left-hand corner of the backplate, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel spade hands and signed H. BOZI, FLORENCE to lower margin, the frosted gilt corniche case of Mignonnettes No. 1 size with hinged carrying handle and bevelled top glass over cavetto cornice and caddy moulded uprights, the sides and rear door with fine Pietra-dura panels depicting floral still lifes including roses and fuchsia blooms, on moulded skirt base.7.5cm (3ins) high handle down, 5cm (2ins) wide, 4.5cm (1.75ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. The current clock would appear to belong to a small group of carriage clocks incorporating fine foliate decorated pietra-dura panels which appear to have been made in a Florentine workshop. Others include a mid-size clock with alarm and push button repeat which was sold at Christies, King Street, London Important clocks and marine chronometers 20th February 2008 (lot 11) for £3000; another is pictured in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS pages 156 (Figure 9-33 a-d); a third example, by Drocourt, is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development, (this time housed in an anglaise riche case) on page 180 (Plates VII/C13-14); and finally an example, also signed for Bozi, Florence, was sold in these rooms on 21st April 2021 (lot 112) for £2,800 hammer. It is perhaps appropriate to surmise that as many examples from this series are signed for H. Bozi of Florence it is likely that the panels for these were made in the city by workshops principally under this makers/retailer's direction to decorate clocks supplied by Parisian makers - perhaps mainly for retail in Florence to wealthy visitors continuing in the tradition of the 'Grand Tour'.Miniature carriage clocks are called Mignonnettes or 'little darlings' and come in three graded sizes with No. 1 being the smallest.Condition Report: The movement is in clean working condition; the escapement is of good quality and is engraved SWISS, T. Martin, London W., 15 Regent Street. From this it may be appropriate to suggest that the escapement may have been 'upgraded' early in the clock's life; the silvering to the platform is a tarnished/discoloured. The dial appears undamaged. The case is in very fine condition with no visible faults to any of the pietra-dura panels as well as the glasses. The gilding is also in fine condition with minimal discolouration.There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE FRENCH GILT BRASS MINIATURE CARRIAGE TIMEPIECE WITH FINE FLORENTINE PIETRA-DURA PANELSUNSIGNED, PARIS/FLORENCE, LATE 19TH CENTURYThe rectangular eight-day single train movement with silvered platform lever escapement, the circular gilt on black Roman numeral dial with scroll-pierced gilt hands set behind hinged gilt brass floral band decorated convex-glazed bezel, the frosted gilt brass cannellee case of Mignonnette No. 1 size with faceted lobed hinged carrying handle over large bevelled top glass, complex cornice mouldings and channelled canted uprights, the front with rectangular pietra-dura panel enveloping the dial polychrome decorated with bird inhabited flowering foliage, the sides inset with conforming panels and the rear with bevel-glazed door, on ogee-outline skirt base.8cm (3.125ins) high excluding handle, 5.5cm (2.125ins) wide, 4.5cm (1.75ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. The current clock would appear to belong to a small group of carriage clocks incorporating fine foliate decorated pietra-dura panels which appear to have been made in a Florentine workshop. Others include a mid-size clock with alarm and push button repeat, (signed for H. Bozi, Florence) which was sold at Christies, King Street, London Important clocks and marine chronometers 20th February 2008 (lot 11) for £3000; another two are pictured in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS pages 155 and 156 (Figures 9-32 and 9-33 a-d); a third example, by Drocourt, is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development, (this time housed in an anglaise riche case) on page 180 (Plates VII/C13-14); and finally an example, also signed for Bozi, Florence, was sold in these rooms on 21st April 2021 (lot 112) for £2,800 hammer. Although t is perhaps appropriate to surmise that as most examples from this series are signed for H. Bozi of Florence it is likely that the panels for these were made in the city by workshops principally under this makers/retailer's direction to decorate clocks supplied by Parisian makers - perhaps mainly for retail in Florence to wealthy visitors continuing in the tradition of the 'Grand Tour'. The decoration seen on the panels of the present timepiece differs a little in detail to those seen on clocks signed by Bozi in that there are birds inhabiting the foliage and there is noticeable use of coloured 'dots' included within the foliage and can be compared to the gorge-cased clock illustrated by Derek Roberts on page 155. These subtle differences would suggest that the panels were made in a different workshop to Bozi's.Miniature carriage clocks are called Mignonnettes or 'little darlings' and come in three graded sizes with No. 1 being the smallest.Condition Report: The movement appears complete, original and is in working condition, the mechanism however is dirty/tarnished hence a gentle clean/service is advised. The dial appears free from any visible damaged or restoration; the hour hand may be a replacement. The hinged bezel appears undamaged. The case is generally in fine condition with the top and rear glass panels free from visible damage including corner chips. The side panels are in fine condition with the only noticeable blemish being a slight surface scratch to the left-hand side. The front panel shows (on close examination) signs of small repairs to the infill areas above the dial otherwise appears undamaged. The gilding is in fine condition with only minor tarnishing/mellowing in places.There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE FRENCH GILT BAMBOO CASED REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH AESTHETIC PORCELAIN PANELS PROBABLY BY A. DUMAS, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURYThe eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by split bimetallic balance and sounding the alarm on the same gong, the backplate stamped with oval trademark AD over serial number 1107 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular porcelain dial panel overall painted in polychrome and gilt with asymmetric panels of carp, birds and insects within a cream and gilt trellis field populated with a kingfisher, butterfly inhabiting stylised foliage, the centre with gilt on black Arabic numeral cartouche chapter ring and blued steel hands over conforming alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt brass bevel glazed bamboo case with frame modelled to resemble sections of bamboo overlapping at the corners, the top with conforming hinged carrying handle and panel-glazed escapement aperture and the sides inset with additional Aesthetic style porcelain panels matching the dial with arrangement of shaped panels and objects decorated with carp, birds and other motifs within a cream and gilt trellis ground incorporating birds and insects amongst flowering foliage, on integral bamboo stump feet.16cm (6.5ins) high with handle down, 10cm (4ins) wide, 9.5cm (3.75ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. The identity of the maker who used trademark A.D within an oval surround is currently unknown however clocks stamped with the same initials but within a diamond lozenge are known to be by A. Dumas who is noted in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development for a relatively small number of clocks bearing low serial numbers and having porcelain dials and panels. Allix also cites Saunier describing A. Dumas as a maker of his own gongs and cases which is of interest bearing in mind that the same oval A.D trademark has been seen on gong blocks used by Drocourt amongst others. Indeed it is the presence of this mark on the gong block of some of their clocks which has led to the incorrect belief by some that the mark was actually for Alfred Drocourt.The design of the porcelain panels of the current lot draw their inspiration from Japanese art in particular Satsuma pottery. The study and interpretation of Japanese decorative arts was a core element of the Aesthetic Movement which in-turn influenced Orientalist design which became highly fashionable during the latter quarter of the 19th century. Furthermore the 'bamboo' design of the case compliments the Aesthetic feel of the panels resulting in an object which is fully integrated in its visual qualities. A group of timepieces illustrating the variations on the theme of the current lot can be found in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS pages 172-73 (Fig. 10.16-17).Condition Report: The movement appears all-original and is in fine clean fully working condition. The dial appears free form visible damaged however some re-touching to the gilding towards the upper left-hand corner may indicate that some very well executed restoration (possibly to repair a crack) may have taken place. The case presents as being in very fine condition with no visible chips to the glasses and fine even frosted gilding which appears essentially flawless. The porcelain side panels appear free form visible damage or wear however the right-hand panel appears to have had some very well executed restoration to repair a crack across the upper rear corner. The track of this crack can just be seen on the reverse of panel when looing into the case with the rear door open. Despite this restoration the clock generally presents as essentially in immaculate condition.Clock does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT BAMBOO CASED REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PAINTED FIRED ENAMEL PANELS UNSIGNED, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURYThe eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by split bimetallic balance and sounding the alarm on the same gong, the rectangular polychrome country landscape painted enamel dial panel incorporating Vertical Arabic numerals to chapter ring and blued steel spade hands over conforming alarm setting dial to lower margin flanked by a pair of figures in 18th century dress conversing, the gilt brass bevel glazed bamboo case with frame modelled to resemble sections of bamboo overlapping at the corners, the top with conforming hinged carrying handle and bevel-glazed-glazed escapement aperture and the sides inset with additional painted enamel Watteauesque scenes of 18th century figures within wooded landscapes, the rear door with further conforming panel depicting a courting couple, on canted T-shaped bamboo stump feet.17cm (6.75ins) high, 11cm (4.375ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands.Condition Report: The movement appears all-original and is running, striking and repeating however the strike is currently out-of-sync with the hands. The alarm mechanism is intact but the spring has become loose within the barrel hence will not currently wind. Generally the movement is a little dull/dirty hence an gentle clean/service is advised. The dial appears free form visible damage however there are four small 'spots' of retouching to the enamel each near one corner (only detectable on very close examination). These are probably to address due to slight faults/stress in the enamel at the points where the enamel plate is attached to the movement. The case is generally in fine condition with good even frosted gilding having only having one or two very light spots of discolouration. The top glass has a small chip to the rear left hand corner; the front glass appears free of corner chips. The enamel panels are in fine condition with faults very much limited to some light wear to the upper and lower margins, a very light hairline crack to the left-hand panel (in the sky above the female figure) and another (to the grass next to the feet of the male figure) to the rear panel.Clock does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE GERMAN RENAISSANCE GILT COPPER, STEEL AND BRASS ALARM TABLE CLOCK WITH AUTOMATON STAMPED WITH MAKER'S INITIALS A.S. POSSIBLY FOR ABRAHAN SCHUSTER, AUGSBERG, CIRCA 1580The substantial posted steel movement with brass fusees and pinned flanged caps for the steel-walled spring barrels, the back-wound going train now with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum swinging in-front of the dial, the strike train of single-arbor warnless type with nag's head lifting, shaped cam overlift and sounding via a vertically pivoted hammer the hours on a bell positioned within the domed superstructure above, the alarm with open coil-spring set beneath verge crownwheel for the vertical hammer arbor sounding on the hour bell and released via interconnected sprung detents positioned both behind the dial and directly beneath the bell, the baluster-alarm alarm pivot bar engraved with pendant drapery around a cartouche containing initials A S over pineapple town mark for Augsberg, the gilt copper dial with central alarm setting disc within an applied Roman numeral chapter ring incorporating squat wheatear half hour markers over lower section relief decorated with fruit inhabited strapwork, the architectural case with crescent-capped obelisk finial to a circular open-work baluster gallery containing polychrome painted wood figure of an acrobat who pivots back-and-forth along with the action of the hour hammer, set on top of a domed cupola decorated with alternating bands of matted and burnished gilt fish-scale tiles and incorporating arch-pierced gallery between moulded collars to lower edge and flanked by conforming obelisk finials applied onto foliate scroll engraved platforms to angles, with complex moulded cornice and square section architectural pillars to angles decorating with engraved guilloche scrolls to shafts, the side panels further repousse decorated with fruiting foliage within strapwork, the rear conforming but with applied rosette-centred strike indication dial and pair of winding holes, on elaborate canted base decorated in high relief with alternating panels of foliate strapwork incorporating acanthus bordered cartouches at the angles, on compressed bun feet.39.5cm (15.5ins) high, 19.5cm (7.75ins) square. Research undertaken by Jurgen Abeler notes several clockmakers with initials 'A.S.' working in Germany throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, however he only one, Abraham Scuster is recorded by him as working in Augsberg at the time the current lot was made. When considering the potential date of the current lot a cursory survey of dated German Renaissance table clock movements made during the second half of the 16th century reveals that the use of brass within the mechanism became more widespread as the century progressed. Initially brass was employed just for the fusees, spring barrel walls, then also for the movement pivot plates, and finally (by around 1600-20) for the wheelwork as well. With this in mind the current movement (using brass only for the fusees) can be dated to around 1575. This approximate date is also supported by the lack of warning to the striking mechanism as this was not generally adopted until around 1600. The decoration to the dial panels and more notably the base exhibits a mixture of fruit inhabited leafy foliate scrolls and formal strapwork which can be compared on stylistic grounds to the background decoration seen on a complex astrolabe-dialled table clock dating to circa 1570-80 illustrated in Maurice, Klaus and Myer, Otto THE CLOCKWORK UNIVERSE, German Clocks and Automata 1550-1650 on page 185 (item 22). The current lot benefits from surviving in particularly original condition with the trains intact save for escapement conversion from balance top pendulum regulation. The case has also survives with original gilding and the automaton is a scarce and appealing feature for a clock of this age. Condition Report: The movement appears all original with the exception of the escapement which has been converted from verge with balance to verge with pendulum swinging at the front. The pendulum conversion has required a steel potance to be applied to the top plate which cuts a slot out of the brass upper plate from the centre to the leading edge; the escapewheel is positioned between the top plate and this steel potance. The wheelwork is in clean condition, exhibits minimal wear and the trains are fully operational. The alarm release mechanism is a little unusual being positioned above the movement top plate beneath the bell. The chapter ring, alarm disc and hour hand are most likely 18th century replacements; the alarm dial to the rear is probably original. The superstructure appears original with the lower section in good condition with faults limited to a cut-out to the lower rim to allow for the pendulum and two of the tangs for the securing screws being incomplete the automaton figure is most likely a 19th century replacement and the three arms supporting the top finial assembly appear to be later replacements. One rear foot is a replacement otherwise in good original condition retaining its original thick fire gilding with relatively minor but noticeable rubbing/wear and discolouration. The silvered elements are fairly heavily rubbed/tarnished.There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN INTERESTING BRASS MINIATURE HOUR-STRIKING LANTERN CLOCK WITH ALARMTHE DIAL BEARING A SIGNATURE FOR THOMAS HOWS AND DATE FOR 1620 BUT PROBABLY FRENCH, MID 17th CENTURYThe going train with verge escapement regulated by balance wheel set above the top plate, and the strike train with countwheel and vertically pivoted hammer sounding on the bell mounted within the superstructure, the alarm mechanism positioned to the lower right hand corner of the iron backplate incorporating verge crownwheel and vertically pivoted hammer acting on the hour bell, the dial with rose-engraved Roman numeral chapter alarm disc filling the entire centre of the dial and concealing engraved inscription Tho's Hows, 1620 to plate beneath, within narrow Roman numeral chapter ring with asterisk half hour markers, the frame with one-piece column turned corner posts and high-waisted finials flanking the fine foliate strapwork engraved and pierced front fret and conforming unengraved side frets, the sides with hinged brass doors and the rear with iron backplate beneath bell supported within domes bearer surmounted by a finial, on four integral turned toupe feet.22cm (8.75ins) high, 8.5cm (3.375ins) square. The present lot is referred to in Loomes Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 within the entry for Thomas Howse who is listed as baptised in 1608, entered as an apprentice in the Brown Baker's Company 1622/23 and died 1652. Features within the current lot such as the one-piece frame castings (incorporating distinctive high-shouldered finials and 'toupe' feet) and vertically pivoted hammer arbor would strongly suggest that the current clock was made in France, most likely Paris. A miniature French lantern clock with very similar frame castings is illustrated in Tardy LA PENDULE FRANCAIS I're Partie, De l'Horloge Gothique a la Pendule Louis XV on page 86.Condition Report: Movement is complete and appears free from alteration. There is no visible evidence of the clock being fitted with a pendulum escapement (verge or anchor). The present balance appears correct for the movement it is probable that the pallets are most likely service replacements. The trains appear to be in good condition with only minor pinion wear evident; the steelwork is all nicely finished and with dark patination. The alarm mechanism is complete and appears correct. The engraved inscription to the dial is an enigma hence we would express caution and suggest that it has been added. The alarm disc is possibly a replacement as it shows less wear than the chapter ring, the hour hand is also possibly a well-made replacement. The frame is in good condition with faults limited to the left-hand front finial which at some point has been broken-off a re-attached and the tip of the same finial has a crack in the casting the corner posts are one-piece castings incorporating the feet and finials. The bell and frame are in good condition; the top finial is almost certainly a replacement. The right-hand fret has a casting fault and the front is missing one of its screws. Both side doors are present but each have lost the upper pin hinge.Clock is complete with three brass-cased weights. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN EXTREMELY RARE WALNUT AND BRASS BALANCE BAROMETERH. MAPPLE, LONDON, CIRCA 1856 With arched brass scale calibrated in barometric inches with the usual observations and engraved H. Mapples PATENT Barometer to upper margin raised over pivoted cradle with counterweight and operating moving pointer for the scale with second recording pointer set behind, the whole raised on a cavetto moulded rectangular brass plinth over walnut box base enclosing rack-and-pinion mechanism for the adjustment of the recording pointer via a knob to the front, on cavetto moulded skirt and brass ball feet, (aneroid vacuum chamber lacking).34cm (13.5ins) high, 17cm (6.75ins) wide, 11cm (4.25ins) deep. Provenance: The exhibition collection of Barometer World Museum, Merton, Devon; described and illustrated in Collins, Phillip Aneroid Barometers and their Restoration pages 205-6. Henry Mapple is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as publishing two articles in 'Trans. Soc. Arts' on clock springs and an escapement in 1838 and 1839 respectively. The British Museum webs archives notes that Henry Mapple was a former telegraph engineer for the Electric Telegraph Company who exhibited an electric telegraph, a clock escapement, and a telegraphic fire alarm at the Great Exhibition of 1851. He also, along with William Morris, held a Patent for electric timekeeping (No. 1515, 22nd June 1860 'Electric Clocks and Telegraphs').Henry Mapple devised this type of barometer and patented it in 1856 (Patent No. 1029). The pivoted cradle would have originally held a 'hollow tube, thin and exhausted of air'. This tube was designed to expand or contract due to change in barometric pressure causing a shift in the balance of its weight; consequently the balance cradle would tip and the pointer would move in relation to the scale.
