An unusual mahogany bracket clock supplied to H.M. Government Colonial Office Unsigned, mid 19th century , incorporating an earlier movement by Ferdinand Berthoud, Paris The six columnar pillar movement now with single chain fusee for the five wheel going train incorporating Harrison’s maintaining power and anchor escapement for regulation by a half-seconds pendulum, the rack strike train with large going barrel and sounding on a bell mounted above the plates, The backplate signed Ferdinand, Berthoud, A, Paris to lower margin, the purpose-made 7 inch single sheet silvered brass break-arch dial with high position chapter ring unusually annotated with Roman numeral hour and Arabic minute numerals at the quarters and with a subsidiary seconds dial interrupting the hour ring at twelve o’clock, with simple steel hands over lower section with large finely engraved Royal VR monogram over script COLONIAL OFFICE and small pendulum aperture, in a brass mounted figured mahogany bell-top case with hinged brass carrying handle and faceted brass acorn-shaped finials to superstructure over cavetto top mouldings, the front with brass-fillet bordered break-arch glazed front door incorporating brass fish-scale inset quadrant frets to upper angles, the sides with circular over concave-topped rectangular scroll-pierced fretwork panels, the rear with break-arch glazed rectangular door set within the frame of the case, on moulded skirt base with brass ogee bracket feet, the interior with various pasted labels including one inscribed in ink Colonial Office, Church house, 25/0-4627, 1.4.57, R. 232, 2, (lacking pendulum) 47cm (18.5ins) high excluding handle. The current lot is particularly interesting in that it appears to be clock made to meet a specific order from the government possibly at the time of the establishment of the ‘Second Colonial Office’ in 1854. The department was separated from the War and Colonial Office to deal specifically with the affairs in the colonies and was assigned an Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies and continued until 1966. The Colonial Office was based in a building specifically designed by Gilbert Scott however for a period after World War II the department was relocated to Church House, Westminster.The fact that the present clock incorporates an earlier, albeit re-worked, movement by the eminent 18th century French horologist, Ferdinand Berthoud may be due to the Vulliamy workshop not being able to satisfy the order due to the death of Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy in January 1754. Indeed as it is well known that the Vulliamy’s often replaced movements of clocks made by other earlier makers with their own (specifically examples in the Royal Collection) it would be logical to speculate that the movement used in the current lot may well have come from their stock of ‘salvaged’ mechanisms.

A fine Victorian oxidised brass Newman type mercury station barometer Negretti and Zambra, London, circa 1870 Constructed with two square section uprights joined at the top with a D-shaped section inset with silvered plate engraved Negretti & Zambra, 1 Hatton Garden, 122 Regent Street, 59 Cornhill, 153 Fleet Street, LONDON over central tube flanked by silvered scales calibrated in millimetres and barometric inches with rack and pinion adjusted Vernier slide between, the base with substantial cylindrical cistern incorporating glazed collar between screw-clamped collars to upper section, the instrument suspended via pivoted joint from a scroll-cast bracket with conforming steady bracket to base inside a glazed mirror-backed wall case with hinged front door secured by brass thumb catches, (mercury removed), 128.5cm (50.625ins) high. Provenance: The interior of the case is applied with a paper label typed BAROMETER, Presented by, HERMAN BICKNELL, January 1873. Herman Bicknell was a surgeon, orientalist, linguist and an intrepid traveller and he was one of the first Englishman to penetrate Mecca as detailed in his account published in The Times of August 25th 1862. The general form of the current instrument was derived by John Frederick Newman who is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working from 122 Regent Street, London 1827-62. Banfield states that Newman made standard and portable barometers for the Ross Antarctic Expedition and his meteorological station barometers were installed throughout the British Empire. Newman barometers of this design usually incorporated movable scales to allow calibration against the mercury level in the cistern which may vary very slightly with changes in temperature. Newman’s business was taken over by Negretti & Zambra in 1862 who Banfield records as being established in 1850 when a partnership between Enrico Negretti and Joseph Warren Zambra was formed. The firm became one of the most prolific makers of scientific instruments and continued trading well into the 20th century.

Paul Phillip Barraud (born 1752) worked with his father at first until his death in 1795 after which Barraud turned his attention more towards chronometers. Using the valuable experience gained whilst working on Mudge's timekeepers with W. Howells and G. Jamieson to good effect, he became very successful. After his death in 1820 the business was continued by his sons taking John Richard Lund, a former apprentice of John Pennington (who developed the auxiliary compensation balance weight to correct for middle temperature changes), into partnership in 1838.
