A fine gilt giant grande-sonnerie striking and repeating triple-calendar carriage clock with alarmJ.C. Ravoux, Paris, dated 1856The eight-day two train movement with plates measuring 5.75 by 4.125 inches, five and six-spoke wheel crossings to going and strike trains, platform lever escapement stamped RAVOUX twice to the backing plate and jewelled pivots for the contrate and fourth wheels of the going train, the strike train ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of bells positioned within the base of the case via vertically pivoted blued steel hammer arbors before sounding the hour again at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, the backplate with visible alarm motionwork and central large circular white enamel REVEIL setting dial annotated with twenty-four hour dial 1-12 twice labelled MIDI, MATIN, MINUIT and SOIR and with further vertically pivoted hammer for sounding on the larger of the two bells in the base, the upper left with SILENCE/SONNERIE pivoted strike selection switch, the centre with knurled hand-setting knob over signature FAIT PAR J.C. RAVOUX, and with QUARTIEMME and JOURS calendar setting functions to lower edge beneath, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial signed RAVOUX to centre and with pierced blued steel hands over triple subsidiary day-of-the-week, date-of-the-month and month-of-the-year dials annotated in French and with blued steel arrow pointers to lower margin beneath, the rear of the dial signed Valat, the early-type gilt multi-piece bevel-glazed case with hinged faceted carrying handle over top glass with rounded corners and cavetto cornice incorporating inset rounded angles over caddy moulded uprights, the rear with pin-hinged glazed door, on skirt base with conforming inset rounded angles and pierced sound fret to underside, 20cm (8ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. J.C. Ravoux, the maker of this fine carriage clock is apparently unrecorded, however the signature Valat to the rear of the dial is almost certainly that of Etienne Valat who worked from Rue Montmorency 7, near the shop of Henri Jacot, for whom he also made dials.The current lot is particularly noteworthy for the quality of its construction in particular the provision of five and six spoke wheel crossings and jewelled pivots to the upper of part of the going train. The alarm mechanism is also very well thought-out with the setting dial allowing for sounding once during the twenty-four hour period rather than the usual once every twelve hours. Although the case is of relatively simple design it is again finely made with tight crisp mouldings as well as being very well proportioned, which again adds to the clocks overall restrained but high quality feel.Condition Report: The movement is running and striking/quarter striking however the hour notation is two-hours out (ie. sounds once at 3 and twice at 4 etc.) and is a little lazy/slow and sometimes misses with the longer hours hence requires some fine adjustment. Otherwise movement appears to be complete and in good original condition with no obvious alterations (although there are two plugged holes in the backlate which seem to date from the time of making hence not indicative of later alteration). The calendar-work appears to be complete and in working order as is the alarm however the alarm setting square (to the centre of the alarm dial) is currently obscured by the boss which carries the hand which appears to be too tight to be able to be pushed home over the square.The dial has very slight restoration to the upper left corner and some light wear around the centre hole (both visible only on very close examination) otherwise appears free from visible faults. The rear door glass has a chip to the upper corner and some very light fritting to the lower edge otherwise glasses appear free from visible damage. The case has been re-gilded and is generally in good condition with noticeable faults limited to a slight scratch to the top near the front right hand corner and another deeper vertical scratch to the rear skirt.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French gilt fretwork panel inset grande-sonnerie striking and repeating alarm carriage clock Retailed by Hunt and Roskell, London, circa 1900The eight-day two train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and sounding the hour every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with silvered platform lever escapement and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the backplate with engraved retailer's signature HUNT & ROSKELL, 156 New Bond Street, London to upper edge and stamped with serial number 7348 to the lower left hand corner, the dial with circular white enamel Roman numeral centre decorated with gilt star motif, with grey-shaded chapter and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with blued steel hands set within a fine bright-cut engraved and pierced foliate scrollwork rectangular mask incorporating conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt brass bevel-glazed anglaise riche case with reeded baton to the hinged carrying handle over thick top glass enclosing pierced and engraved gilt oval insert framing the escapement, complex moulded cornice and fluted frieze, the angles with fluted three-quarter columns with Corinthian capitals and the sides with fine foliate pierced and engraved frets incorporating oval line delineated panel within the decoration set behind bevelled glasses, the rear with further conforming fretwork to the back door, on generous cavetto moulded skirt base incorporating shallow block feet, the underside with Hours and Quarters/Silent/Quarters selection switch, 17cm (6.75ins) high excluding handle. The firm of Hunt and Roskell can trace its roots back to the celebrated silversmith Paul Storr who was joined in partnership by John Mortimer in 1822. The business traded from 13 New Bond Street and specialised in the retail of silverwares, jewellery, watches and clocks. In 1839 Storr and Mortimer relocated 156 New Bond Street with Paul Storr retiring very shortly afterwards. The firm continued under the management of John Mortimer and Samuel John Hunt (who joined the business in 1826) trading under the name Mortimer and Hunt; which was then in-turn subsequently succeeded by the partnership of Hunt and Roskell (with Robert Roskell probably joining the business around the time of John Mortimer's retirement in 1843). Hunt and Roskell exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition with their wares including a selection of small engraved gilt timepieces by Thomas Cole whose work they were known to have retailed. Hunt and Roskell continued as one of the leading retail jewellers and silversmiths throughout the Victorian era becoming a Limited Company in 1898. They relocated to 25 Old Bond Street in 1912 from where they traded until being bought-out by J.W. Benson in 1965. The current lot can be closely compared to an petite-sonnerie striking example sold in these rooms on Wednesday 24th March 2020 (lot 98). This other example was signed by Le Roy and Fils, Paris and their similarity is such that it would be reasonable to suggest that the present clock was supplied to Hunt and Roskell by LeRoy who, at this time, were working from 13 and 15 Palais Royal, Paris. The fine quality pierced and engraved gilt brass panels of the current lot coupled with the robust anglaise riche design result in clock very much geared to the English taste with its overall feel and quality reminiscent of examples originating from the Leading London workshops.Condition Report: Movement appears to be in original condition with no obvious signs of alteration or significant replacements. The going train is running and the strike train will provide correct hours and quarter notation when the repeat button is pressed however it is not being tripped/set-off by the going train during normal operation. The alarm spring barrel will wind but is also not being set-off by the movement hence it is likely that the under dial work requires adjustment. The movement otherwise is generally a little tarnished/discoloured hence would benefit from a gentle clean/service. The enamel hour disc appears free from visible damage or repair, the alarm disc has a series of hairline cracks. The rear door glass is missing although however the fretwork panel (which was set behind the glass) is present and undamaged; all other glasses are present and appear undamaged. The gilding to the frets is generally in fine condition, the rest of the case however has noticeable rubbing and discolouration throughout. The strike selection lever to the base is present and will move however it is not known whether it will select the functions as the movement will not activate the strike train during normal operation. There are also two vacant screw holes in the base.Generally a good original honest clock which hopefully will not require extensive work to bring back to fine condition. Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A rare gilt brass carriage clock with push-button repeat, alarm and musical movement to baseUnsigned, late 19th centuryThe eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and sounding the alarm on the same gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 1525 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular engine-milled and stylised foliate scroll gilt engraved silvered dial with recessed circular Roman numeral centre incorporating gilt rosette and shield cartouche numeral decoration and with blued steel hands over conforming alarm disk to lower margin, the bevel-glazed gilt brass anglaise riche case with hinged reeded baton carrying handle over fluted cornice, Corinthian three-quarter corner columns, on architectural plinth base with complex upper mouldings and skirt enclosing a musical mechanism playing a Viennese waltz via a 1.5 inch pinned cylinder and tuned steel comb on demand only by pulling a plunger next to the winding key to the left hand side, on four turned toupe feet, 18.5cm (7.25ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The provision of a musical movement in the base of the current clock is a very rare detail.Condition Report: The movement is running with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements; the strike train will operate but only by depressing the repeat button hence the under-dial release mechanism requires adjustment (looking in form the side the respective lever etc. appears to be present). The movement is generally somewhat dirty/oily hence a gentle clean/service is required. The musical movement in the base is intact and working with no visible damage to the combs or pins; the sound is also good. The dial has rubbing/wear to the Roman numerals and slight tarnishing to the hour disc otherwise in in fine condition. The front glass has some shallow internal chipping to both upper corners (visible on close examination) otherwise glasses are free from visible damage. The gilding to the case is in fine condition with no visible wear or discolouration and the surfaces are free from any scuffs/blemishes worth noting although a couple of very tiny bumps can be found to the extremities of the mouldings. The base plate is missing two securing screws however these are superfluous as the panel is held secure by the feet.There is no key present for the movement however there is one for the musical mechanism. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French engraved gilt brass oval repeating alarm carriage clock with painted porcelain panels Probably by Jules Brunelot, Paris, circa 1870The eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and sounding the alarm on the same gong, the backplate stamped with trademark B within a circle to lower left hand corner, the rectangular porcelain dial with Roman numeral hour numerals and gilt brass spade hands within a painted scene of a female in 18th century dress seated in a woodland landscape with cherub in flight above and incorporating white Arabic alarm setting dial to lower margin, the substantial engraved satin gilt oval case with hinged arched carrying handle over leafy scroll border engraved top and conforming foliate trail decorated upper mouldings, the front with thick curved bevel glass panel set into a foliate border-engraved frame and the sides inset with curved porcelain panels painted with scenes of 18th century courting couples within conforming frame surrounds, the rear with curved bevel-glazed pin-hinged door, on ogee profile skirt base adorned with a band of repeating leafy scrolls, 14cm (5.5ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands.  The trademark stamped to the lower left hand corner of the backplate of the current lot (letter B within a circle) is noted in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as possibly being for Jules Brunelot although no evidence has been found to confirm this.Condition Report: Movement is fully operational (including the alarm and repeat functions) and is free from any visible alteration or significant replacements however is in relatively dirty/neglected condition so will require a gentle clean/service before putting into long term use. The dial appears to be in fine condition with no visible damage/defects. The porcelain side panels also appear free from damage or visible restoration and have almost no discernible wear (only very light rubbing to upper margins of each visible on very close examination). The rear door glass has a small chip to the upper right hand corner otherwise glasses appear free from visible damage. The gilding is in fine condition with minimal wear or discolouration.Carriage clock has a winding key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A rare French carriage clock inset with fine Florentine pietra-dura panelsRetailed by H. Bozi, Florence, circa 1880The eight-day bell striking movement with silvered platform cylinder escapement and stamped with serial number 531 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular black marble dial panel signed H. Bozi, Firenze to centre with gilt Roman hour numerals and spade hands within surround finely inlaid in various hardstones with delicate floral sprays, the bevel-glazed corniche case with hinged carrying handle and oval top glass over cavetto cornice and caddy moulded uprights, the sides and rear door with further Pietra-dura panels depicting floral still lifes including roses and fuchsia blooms, on moulded skirt base, 13.5 (5.75ins) high excluding handle. The current clock would appear to belong to a small series of carriage clocks incorporating fine foliate decorated pietra-dura panels which appear to have been made in the same workshop. Others in the series include a slightly smaller 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; a very similar example to the present clock pictured in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS pages 156 (Figure 9-33 a-d); and an example by Drocourt 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). It is perhaps interesting to note that the Christies example is also signed for H. Bozi of Florence which would strongly support the idea that the panels for this series were made in Florence by one workshop to decorate clocks supplied by Parisian makers mainly for retail in Florence to wealthy visitors continuing in the tradition of the 'Grand Tour'. Condition Report: Movement is fairly clean and in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial appears free from visible damage and the numerals/signature have minimal wear. The left hand panel has a cracked section to the upper left hand corner, another very small to the opposite corner and a very light vertical hairline to the centre of the lower edge. The right hand panel has a smaller cracked section also to the upper left; both side panels also have some very light edge wear. The rear panel has a very light horizontal hairline to the right hand margin. All the delicate inlaid hardstone decoration is undisturbed. The case has traces of earlier silvering and currently has streaking/tarnishing due to the brass finish otherwise appears to be free form noticeable faults.There is a leather protective case present which fits the clock well but is not original to the clock. The case has overall wear to the surface and is lacking its strap and integral repeat button pad (not required as the current clock does not have a repeat button).There is no winding key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine multi-colour grande-sonnerie striking and repeating moonphase calendar alarm carriage clock Unsigned, circa 1880The eight-day two train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and then sounding the hour every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with silvered platform lever escapement, alarm sounding on the smaller gong and stamped with serial number 1532 to the lower left hand corner of the backplate, the dial with inset Roman numeral enamel hour disc centred with a rolling moonphase aperture within painted starry sky and billowing clouds, set into a rectangular panel sculpted in relief with bird and butterfly inhabited floral trails picked-out in gilt, silver and copper on a grey patinated ground and incorporating conforming enamel subsidiary alarm setting dial flanked by day-of-of-the-week and date-of-the-month dials to lower margin, the bevel-glazed frosted gilt brass case with every surface decorated with bands and panels of bird inhabited floral sprays picked-out in gilt, silver and copper on a grey patinated ground, including the frame of the baton centred hinged carrying handle, top glass surround and quarter round upper edges, over dentil frieze incorporating projecting angles for the Corinthian column corner uprights with further multicolour decoration to shafts, the rear with door decorated panel of a bird perched within flowering shrubbery and on skirt base incorporating fluted band to upper margin over further bird and flower engraved decoration and disc feet, the underside with three-position strike selection lever labelled G'de Campanco/P'te Campanco/Silencio, 17cm (6.75ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The highly decorative bands and panels decorating every surface of the current lot employs a series of differing techniques to gild, silver, copper and chemically patinate the finely finished relief cast and engraved scenes to provide depth and contrast. A closely related case incorporating comparable decoration to all parts illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 160 (Figure 9.38) where the decoration is described as 'quite outstanding' and 'must have been one of the most time consuming methods of decorating a carriage clock'. This coupled with the high number of complications in the movement and dial would certainly place the current clock as one of the finest available at the time. The dial has a very faint retail signature which is now regrettably too faded to read although the word MEXICO can be made out. In addition to this the various functions of the clock are labelled in Spanish which would seem to confirm that present clock would have been supplied to a high-end retailer based in Mexico City.Condition Report: Movement appears complete, original and is generally in working condition although a clean and overhaul is advised. The strike function (hours and quarters) are fully operational however the quarters are currently out of phase with the minute hand (strikes for the half hour at the quarter hour etc.). The strike function lever to the base of the case silences the various functions as it should. The alarm will wind but is currently not being tripped (a click can be heard but the hammer still appears to be locked) hence will require adjustment. The moonphase and calendar functions appear to be working correctly.The main dial has a very slight hairline between the II and III numerals (only visible on very close examination) and rubbing to the retailer's signature. The alarm dial has a series of hairline cracks through the centre; the two calendar dials appear free from visible faults. The multi-coloured finished to the dial mast are in very fine condition as are the conforming finishes to the exterior of the case. The top glass has some chipping to its right hand edge otherwise glasses appear free from faults except for some light surface scratching to the left hand side.Clock has a winding key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French gilt carriage clock with multi-colour relief cast panels and push-button repeat Unsigned, Paris, circa 1880The eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and sounding the alarm on the same gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 2019 to lower left, the dial with circular cream enamel centre incorporating segmented radial Roman numerals, Arabic five minutes to outer track and fine scroll pierced and engraved gilt brass hands, inset into a rectangular panel sculpted in relief in the Renaissance style with gilt foliate sprays overlaid onto copper strapwork and an oxidised silver ground incorporating a pair of parcel silvered Heraldic lions flanking the enamel alarm setting dial to lower margin, the pillars variant case with acanthus cast ringed baluster centred hinged carrying handle over thick top glass and complex mouldings projecting at the angles, with slender free standing fluted corner columns incorporating silver highlighted acanthus motifs to the shafts and lobed capitals, the sides inset with a fine pair of panels decorated in relief with Renaissance martial trophies each centred with a silvered close helmet, on conforming complex two tier moulded base incorporating pad feet, 17cm (6.75ins) high. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The highly decorative panels of the current lot employ a series of differing techniques to gild, silver, copper and chemically patinate the finely finished relief cast panels to bring the scenes alive. A small selection of examples employing this highly effective, rare and time consuming form of decoration are illustrated in in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on pages 160-61 (Figures 9.37-39).Condition Report: Movement appars to be in original condition with no obvious signs of alteration or significant replacements. The going train is running however the mainspring of the strike train is broken hence clock is currently not striking. The strike train however will 'turn' suggesting that the wheelwork itself is undamaged. The alarm is operational. The movement generally is a little tarnished/discoloured hence would benefit from a gentle clean/service. The enamel chapter disc appears free from noticeable damage or restoration, the alarm disc has very light blemishes to the centre which are only visible on very close examination; these could be light scratches or just dirt.The gilding/patinated finishes to the dial mask and case are in exceptional condition with no discernible wear or discolouration. The front glass has a tiny corner chip to the lower left (only noticeable on close examination); the rear door glass has a larger chip to the upper right hand corner otherwise glasses appear free from damage.Clock does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A very rare German Renaissance four-train double-hour and quarter-striking table clock movementUnsigned, probably Augsburg or Nuremburg, circa 1575The iron, steel and brass posted quadruple-chain fusee movement with square section corner uprights enclosing going train with verge escapement now regulated by a foliot oscillating above the top plate, set to the right beside the quarter-striking train which in-turn is positioned in front of the two side-by-side hour-striking trains behind, each originally with locking plates to the rear pivot plates (now lacking) and vertically pivoted hammer arbors, the wheelwork entirely of iron except for the spring barrel walls and fusee and each of the trains set between individual pairs of vertical pivot plates, the quarter train with nag's head release via a starwheel to the going centre arbor and countwheel set behind the dial incorporating trip for the first hour striking train, the second hour train originally tripped by the first via detents set to the rear of the movement (now lacking), the front with rectangular gilt brass dial applied with later vestigial alarm disc and Roman numeral chapter ring incorporating cruciform hour markers, with sculpted steel hands formed as a sword and halberd within applied original outer minute track set within fruit inhabited foliate scroll engraved surround incorporating inverted cupola pendant apron panel, the rear with twin side-by-side hour striking dials (one lacking annotated countwheel dial insert) applied to a conforming foliate strapwork engraved panel, distance between top and bottom plates 20cm (7.875ins); 38cm (15ins) high overall including the two-tier bell stand. Provenance: Property of a private collector; purchased at Bonhams and Goodman sale of the The Melbourne Clock Museum, 29th April 2008. 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 and 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 and spring barrel walls) 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. In addition to this the engraved decoration to the dial panels exhibits a mixture of naturalistic leafy foliate scrolls and formal strapwork into a matted ground which can be compared to the background decoration seen on a complex astrolabe-dialled table clock dated 1568 attributed to Jeremias Metzger for Casper Bohemus of Vienna in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (illustrated in Maurice, Klaus and Myer, Otto THE CLOCKWORK UNIVERSE, German Clocks and Automata 1550-1650 on page 185).The unusual specification of the striking mechanism, where the full-hour is repeated shortly after the initial sounding, is believed to have been adopted to confirm the hour in the event that the strike was misheard the first time around. This repeat-hour striking system is most often associated with Italian clocks using the six-hour system where it is given the term 'Ribotta'. In German Renaissance work however re-striking hours are particularly rare although not unheard of; indeed a clock utilising this system, albeit in a two train configuration, was sold at Patrizzi and Company's sale of Pre-pendulum European Renaissance Clocks held in Milan on the 24th May 2009, lot 56. The present mechanism is very unusual, perhaps unique, in that the repeat-hour employs and entirely separate second hour train complete with additional fusee. This results in the movement being 'quadruple' fusee and it is believed to be the only one of its type.Condition Report: The going train has at one time been converted to verge escapement regulated by short pendulum and has subsequently been converted back to verge with balance although regulation is now erroneously by foliot rather than balance. The second wheel is also brass (most likely left over from the pendulum conversion). The brass spring barrel wall has now been soldered to the iron/steel end plate and there is also a solder angle patch repair near the spring anchor rivet. The quarter train survives complete and appears all-original except possibly for the brass fusee which may be a replacement (colour has a copper hue). The star wheel release to the strike train is present as are the detents and countwheel.The first hour striking train (rear left) appears complete and original except for the release detent and the countwheel which are both missing; the starwheel/release pin to the under-dial motionwork id also missing. The second striking train also appears complete and original except for the release detent and the countwheel which are both missing; the hammer is also missing (vertical arbor is present) and the brass fusee may be a replacement (colour has a slightly copper hue).All four trains will turn and it seems that some careful conservation such as cleaning of pivots etc has taken place within the relatively recent past. The alarm mechanism is entirely missing leaving holes in the movement top plate, there are a few other vacant holes present relating to the previous balance and pendulum escapements as well as the case which is no longer present.The dial plate has replaced alarm disc (now fixed tight with rivets) and chapter ring - these would appear to date to somewhere between 1670 and 1740 hence are probably contemporary with the earlier pendulum conversion of the going train. The rest of the plate is original however has some small spare holes including one beyond the minute track between the IX and X numerals and another to the centre just above the apron; the purpose of these holes in not clear. The hands are probably late 19th century. The rear plate is missing one of its hour counting dials, the other appears to be a fairly early replacement made from copper. Otherwise plate is original but is missing a small length of the raised border around the left hand dial has a spare hole above each dial and a third to the centre just above the apron. Both dials are secured by modern screws.The movement has a forged two-tier bel stand but no bells or winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

OLD CLOCKS & WATCHES AND THEIR MAKERS (sixth edition 1932) on page 525 (Figure 692). Nicholas Coxeter is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in 1625 and apprenticed to John Pennock (through Richard Masterson) from 1638-46 gaining his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in March 1646/7. He took on many apprentices including Thomas Wheeler who was freed in 1655/6. Coxeter was married to Priscilla Wells at St. Andrews, Holborn in 1648 and the couple had three children. He is initially recorded as being at Dolphin Court, off high Holborn and worked during his early period from 'near Gold Smiths Hall' before moving to Long Lane then Lothbury.In 1657 Nicholas Coxeter served as a Lieutenant in the Honourable Artillery Company and in 1659 he attended the House of Commons to have his commission as a Lieutenant in the London trained bands confirmed by Parliament alongside the renowned clockmaker William Clement. This was in the Yellow regiment of the Parliamentarian Army in which Coxeter later became a Captain. He died in November 1679 a resident of St. Margaret's Parish, Lothbury.The current lot is a textbook example of London third period practice using frame castings developed probably just prior to 1660 (see White, George English Lantern Clocks page 180 figures IV/37 - IV/39 and lot 153). By this time the design of the dial engraving had also become relatively standardised hence the 'tulip' decoration on the current lot can be closely compared with that seen on a clock by Benjamin Hill which was sold in these rooms on Tuesday 15th September 2015 (lot 155), as well as numerous other examples by the likes of Richard Ames and Thomas Wheeler made during the 1660's-70's.Condition Report: As catalogued the movement has an early conversion from verge escapement with balance regulation to anchor escapement with long pendulum, otherwise movement appears entirely original with the possible exception of the pinion of report driving the hour wheel. The movement is in working condition however is a little dirty and shows moderate pinion wear. The dial appears original and in good condition with brass surfaces exhibiting mellow patination matching the frame; the chapter ring shows signs of old silvering. The frame is also in good original condition with the exception of the rear right hand finial which has an old threaded repair. The backplate and side doors are replacements and there is no longer an alarm mechanism fitted. The hanging loop riveted to the top plate is also a replacement. The frets are original and retain some of their original securing screws, the bell and supporting frame also appear original and are in good condition. Clock is complete with pendulum and two weights. Condition Report Disclaimer

A George III mahogany table clockRobert Ward, London, circa 1770The five pillar twin fusee movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum and backplate engraved with a central pagoda over basket surrounded by stylised rococo scrolls, the 7 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and recessed shaped silvered nameplate signed Rob't Ward, London to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to the outer track, with pierced steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a vestigial subsidiary Roman numeral chapter ring dial flanked by conforming mounts, the bell-top case with pineapple finials to superstructure over double-cavetto top mouldings and front door with brass-fillet bordered break-arch glazed dial aperture and foliate scroll cast upper quadrant frets, the sides with hinged brass carrying handles over circular and concave-topped rectangular brass grille sound frets, the rear with rectangular break-arch glazed door set within the frame of the case, on cavetto moulded skirt base with generous leafy scroll cast bracket feet, (the movement formerly fitted with an alarm mechanism now removed), 47cm (18.5ins) excluding top finial and block; 56cm (22ins) high overall. Robert Ward is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1768, gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1779 and working from Abchurch Lane, London until 1808. He is noted as specialising in supplying musical clocks for the Middle Eastern market.Condition Report: Movement is in dirty/oily condition however is working (will run and strike); a clean/service is required. The clock has verge escapement with short bob pendulum which appears original (there is no visible evidence of ever being converted to anchor escapement). As catalogued the alarm mechanism has been removed however the setting/release hand and arbor are present. The movement securing brackets are replacements but it would appear that their position matches that of the originals hence are of the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case. The alarm exit hole in the case is present however has been blanked-off externally by a veneer patch repair.The dial is in good original condition; the finishes are dirty/discoloured, the hands a appear origina and are finely made.The case is generally in sound unrestored condition and of good colour however the joints to the right hand side of the front door are a little loose causing the section of veneer bordering the right hand side of the arch to be lost. There is a veneer patch repair to the upper right and another small to the bottom left. Tye mask around the dial (behind the front door) is generally in good condition. The brass side frets are replacements (probably dating to the 19th century), the lower right hand side moulding has lifted a little and now binds against the lower edge of the front door when it is opened, otherwise sides are in good condition. The rear has a small veneer chip beneath the lower left hand corner of the door otherwise is in very good condition. The superstructure is missing a length of moulding at the base of the caddy; the top finial pedestal has evidence of once being fitted with fretwork decoration to each side which is now no longer present. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to shrinkage (mostly to caddy and base joints), a few bumps, scuffs and other age related blemishes.Clock has a winder but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine and rare Charles II walnut thirty-hour striking small hooded wall clock with alarmJohn Knibb, Oxford, circa 1685 The four finned pillar outside countwheel bell striking movement with plates measuring 6 by 3.5 inches and verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum, the left hand side with transverse alarm mechanism sounding via a verge crown wheel and vertically pivoted yoke-shaped hammer on the inside of the hour bell set above the above the plates, the 5.5 inch square gilt brass dial with rose engraved silvered alarm disc and finely sculpted steel hand to the matted centre within applied silvered narrow Roman numeral chapter ring with typical Knibb type stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and quarter hour divided inner track, the angles with small applied winged cherub head spandrels and the lower edge signed John Knibb Oxon Fecit, the case with ogee moulded shallow-arch pediment incorporating foliate scroll pierced fret infill to the tympanum above fixed glazed dial aperture and rectangular side windows to the rising hood, with further cross-grain mouldings to the throat over shaped apron flanked by scroll outline side brackets beneath, the rectangular backboard with tongues for the rising hood, 35cm (13.75ins) high.  Provenance: The property of a gentleman collector, purchased in these rooms on Wednesday 17th February 2010 (lot 69) for £37,000 hammer where it was noted that the clock was a recent discovery and believed to have formed part of a connoisseur collection of antiques and works of art compiled during the early 20th century.  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 current clock belongs to a rare group of probably less than ten surviving examples of small hooded wall clocks from workshops of both John and Joseph Knibb. Although these clocks were generally made for a common purpose, it seems that they do vary in detail and specification to the extent that no two are exactly the same. The majority of the other surviving examples appear have posted movements based on miniature lantern clocks with standard `Knibb` castings (see Lee, Ronald A. The Knibb Family * Clockmakers plate 178). The current lot is perhaps more unusual as it is constructed with a plated movement which can be compared to a simpler alarm timepiece by John Knibb illustrated by Lee (plate 179) as well as Darken, Jeff (ed.) HOROLOGICAL MASTERWORKS page 142. The inclusion of a striking train has necessitated the alarm mechanism to be located on a separate plate transversely mounted on the left hand side of the movement. The dial is particularly attractive with finely worked hand and narrow chapter ring. The case of perfect proportions and can be directly compared to a case housing a miniature lantern clock by Joseph Knibb illustrated by Lee, plate 59. 

A rare William III ebonised table timepiece with alarmJohn Bushman, London, circa 1695The five finned baluster pillar single fusee movement with verge escapement regulated by disc-bob pendulum and pull-wind alarm mechanism incorporating vertical verge crown wheel and pallets to the cranked hammer arbor for sounding on the bell mounted above the plates, the backplate applied with pierced leafy backcock apron and alarm winding pulley over symmetrical scrolling foliate engraved decoration enveloping a central oval herringbone-bordered cartouche enclosing signature John Bushman, LONDON, the 7 inch square brass dial with ringed winding hole, herringbone border engraved shaped false bob aperture and scroll decorated calendar to the finely matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword-hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with fine sculpted pierced steel hands including another for alarm setting and silvered cast winged cherub head spandrels to angles, the case with foliate bud cast hinged brass carrying handle to the domed caddy superstructure and pair of brass vase finials over complex top mouldings and glazed front door applied with scroll-pierced brass repousse mounts to frame, the sides with rectangular windows and the rear with rectangular glazed door applied with further repousse mounts set within the frame of the case, the base with further complex mouldings to the shallow skirt over block feet, 35cm (13.75ins) high excluding handle. John Bushman (Buschmann) is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as a `High German` watchmaker born in Hagen (Augsburg) circa 1661 and was made brother of the Clockmakers` Company in September 1692. He first married Mary Wyatt in the Parish of St. Margaret, Westminster in December 1690 with whom he had four children; and then Elizabeth Hill at All Hallows, Staining in 1695 with whom he had eight children (most dying in infancy). In 1697 John Buschmann signed the Clockmakers' Company the oath of allegiance; he was subsequently made an Assistant in 1720 and died in 1722. John Buschmann was descended from a celebrated dynasty of clockmakers who worked from Augsburg throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. These roots allowed relatively easy access to the lucrative German market, consequently many of his clocks were made for export. His work tends to be of fine quality and fairly diverse in specification with miniature and month duration table clocks known. Indeed the relatively diverse nature of his output probably reflected the need for him to be flexible in order to satisfy the individual requirements of his wealthy European clients. The backplate of the current lot exhibits particularly fine engraving which closely conforms to that executed on many clocks by Thomas Tompion by engraver G195 as discussed in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 in Appendix 1 (pages 379-95). In particular, on page 385, Dzik illustrates (Figure 5) the backplates of Tompion numbers 410 and 417 with self-crossing vines and 'fluffy flowers' highlighted; when these are compared to the decoration seen on the present backplate the match is almost exact hence, from this evidence, it would be appropriate to surmise that it was also engraved by Tompion's engraver G195.  The current lot is unusual in that it is an alarm timepiece only, this would suggest that it was made exclusively for use in the bedchamber. From this it would be appropriate to speculate the original owner was probably a particularly wealthy individual who could afford a timepiece for this purpose alone rather than having a clock which was designed to also be taken 'downstairs' for use during the day. On closer examination the pendulum of the current lot has been converted from a fixed bob with rod applied directly to the pallet arbor to a disc-bob pendulum with suspension and driven by a crutch (the verge escapement survives in its original configuration). The presence of a silk suspended pendulum would indicate that the present timepiece has spent time on the Continent as this feature is typical of clocks made in near Continental Europe rather than the fixed-bob arrangement favoured by English makers. With this in mind it is likely that the current timepiece was probably made by Buschmann for a client based in Continental Europe, perhaps Germany, hence may well have spent most of its life residing in a bedchamber of a German Schloss.Condition Report: The movement appears to be in fine original condition with no evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements other than the pendulum which has been converted from a fixed bob arrangement to a lenticular bob with silk suspension driven by a crutch. There is no evidence of the clock ever being converted to anchor escapement. The movement is fully operational and reasonably clean however a gentle clean/service is advisable before putting it into service. Overall the mechanism shows little wear indicative of an 'easy life'.The dial is also in good original condition with no visible evidence of alterations or significant replacements with the possible exception of the alarm setting hand which may be non-original. The spandrels are silvered with some wear to high spots and the chapter ring has overall patchy tarnishing to the finish. The dial plate has a good overall slightly mellow colour and appearance.The case is generally in structurally sound condition with faults mainly limited to external bumps, scuffs, bruising, shrinkage, veneer chipping and wear. The repousse mounts to the front door are heavily discoloured with a loss to the right-hand vertical mount and break to lower rail mount. The two rear finials are missing and the front right hand is repaired, both finials and the handle are heavily discoloured. The case retains its original locks and hinges and the internal dial mask is free from losses only having slight cracking/lifting to the veneer overlap to the top right hand corner. The centre of the upper rail above the dial has a hole almost certainly for a turn-tab (to hold the dial tight against the mask in the case) which is no longer present. The rear door has small repousse mounts - the upper and right hand examples are incomplete, the left hand (forming the key escutcheon) is lacking. The block feet are replacements.The surface has an old fairly heavy poorly-applied uneven polish and the interior has old thick wash of black gadding to the overall neglected feel to the case. There is no winder or case key present - the front door is now held with an external pivoted hook catch. Condition Report Disclaimer

A rare weight driven small 'diamond' dial wall timepiece movement with alarmUnsigned but with similarities to the work of the Knibb family, late 17th centuryThe four distinctive baluster pillar turned movement with slender plates measuring 7 by 2.75 inches enclosing three wheel train incorporating verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum, the frontplate with the top corners cut to follow the profile of the dial and the right hand side applied with a transverse alarm mechanism sounding on a small bell mounted above the plates, the 6 inch square brass dial orientated 45 degrees to form a diamond and with starburst engraved alarm setting disc to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with unusual pendant half hour markers, with pierced steel hand and winged cherub mask spandrels to angles. Diamond dial wall timepieces are an unusual and rare variant which appeared to gain some popularity during the latter quarter of the 17th century as an alternative to lantern or hooded alarum timepieces. Such timepieces are discussed by Bill Linnard in his three articles entitled Diamonds are Forever?, More Diamond Dials and Diamonds Galore published in the May 2005, April 2006 and April 2007 issues of the Horological Journal respectively. Linnard surveys thirteen other examples which he dates between circa 1670 and 1740. The earliest example he describes is a thirty-hour single-handed spring driven timepiece by John Wise of London which he dates to around 1670, with the next being the circa 1680 weight-driven alarm timepiece by Joseph Knibb illustrated in Dawson, Percy G., Drover, C.B. and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks on page 530 (plates 781-3). Other examples by Leading London makers such as Tompion (now cased as a table clock) and Samuel Watson are also discussed. More recently diamond dial wall timepieces have featured in articles published in Antiquarian Horology by Jonathan Betts (Showtime at Oxnead: The timekeepers depicted in 'The Paston Treasure; Vol XXXIX June 2018, pages 215-24) and Martyn Pettifer (Another Diamond; Vol IVI June 2020, pages 209-13).It would appear that the vast majority of diamond dial wall timepieces were constructed with one of the movement plates formed with the top and bottom sections angled by ninety degrees to create integral top and bottom plates to which the other plate is joined by pinned tenons. This type of 'box frame' construction can be seen on an example by John Knibb, Oxford (ex Shapiro collection) sold in these rooms on Tuesday 11th March 2014 (lot 144) as well as the timepiece discussed by Martyn Pettifer in his article. The construction of the current lot however is more akin to that of traditional longcase or table clocks with plates united by separate turned pillars, hence can be compared to the relatively early example by Joseph Knibb illustrated in Early English Clocks on page 530 (plates 781-3). In addition to the general basic layout of the movements both the current lot and the example signed by Joseph Knibb have related baluster-shaped pillars; with the castings seen on the present example being of the pattern often seen on table clocks by both the brothers John and Joseph Knibb. In addition to the presence of the distinctive pillar castings the wheelwork of the present movement is also notably fine incorporating concentric line detailing to the rims and a greatwheel of 96 teeth. The movement plates are also reasonably thin/delicate which when considered alongside these other factors would support the idea that the mechanism was perhaps made in the workshops of either John or Joseph Knibb and then supplied to another maker for finishing. Condition Report: The movement has at one point been converted to anchor escapement hence the current escapement is a re-conversion. The backplate has spare holes form the anchor backcock as well as a filled aperture for the previous anchor pallet arbor and another threaded hole most likely from an alternative previous location of the bell stand as well as one lower down for a pendulum hook. The frontplate has a spare hole from the previous anchor pallet front pivot otherwise appears to be in original condition. The alarm mechanism is a restoration. The movement is in working condition. The dial is in good original condition except for the lower spandrel which has now been substituted for section of engraved brass fret and the chapter ring is no longer silvered. The seatboard is most likely later and there are no weights, pulleys or lines present with the timepiece.The overall design would suggest that the mechanism rested in a seatboard into a case that was essentially either of relatively standard rectangular design but with diamond dial aperture, or a case of diamond form (matching the dial) but with a fairly large frame to enclose the movement and allow for a narrow seatboard. Condition Report Disclaimer

A rare William III small 'diamond' dial wall timepiece case and dialSigned for Cornelius Herbert, London, circa 1695Now fitted with a later French circular eight-day timepiece movement incorporating platform lever escapement, the 4.75 inch square brass dial orientated 45 degrees to form a diamond and signed Cor: Herbert, London Bridge to the foliate scroll engraved centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with lozenge half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with winged cherub mask spandrels to angles, the case with slightly canted sides incorporating rope line exit holes to the base and applied with projecting scroll pierced cast brass mounts to the centre of each side section, overall width 21cm (8.5ins). Cornelius Herbert (Harbert) is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers I Britain 1286-1700 as apprenticed to Davis Mell in 1659 then almost immediately William Grout after Mell's death. He gained hid freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1667/8 and took his son of the same name as an apprentice in 1690/1. He signed the Clockmakers' Company oath of allegiance in 1697. His son gained his freedom in 1700/1 hence most likely made clocks alongside his father until the latter's death in 1709/10.  Diamond dial wall timepieces are an unusual and rare variant which appeared to gain some popularity during the latter quarter of the 17th century as an alternative to lantern or hooded alarum timepieces. Such timepieces are discussed by Bill Linnard in his three articles entitled Diamonds are Forever?, More Diamond Dials and Diamonds Galore published in the May 2005, April 2006 and April 2007 issues of the Horological Journal respectively.
