THIS DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ PRINTED IN THE SALE CATALOGUE OR AVAILABLE FROM THE SALEROOM ON REQUEST. Provenance: Part of a private collection, Gloucestershire, acquired between the wars thence by descent. Samuel Aldworth was apprenticed to John Knibb of Oxford in 1673 shortly after John had taken over the Oxford business of his brother Joseph, who had left for London in 1671. After completing his apprenticeship in 1680, Aldworth continued to work in the same workshop as journeyman until 1689 when he left to set up on his own. In 1697 he moved to London (the same year that Joseph Knibb retired to Hanslop) setting up business in the Strand. In 1703 he married Elizabeth Knibb (thought to be daughter of John) and by 1720 he had moved to Childrey, Oxfordshire. The current lot would have been one of the first clocks made by Aldworth after he had left the workshop of John Knibb to set up on his own in 1689. Features such as the pendulum suspension, separately cocked pallet arbor and butterfly nut regulation adjustment demonstrate a direct influence from his master. The dial is also closely comparable to those found on longcase clocks originating from Knibb, and the case was almost certainly supplied by his casemaker.

THIS DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ PRINTED IN THE SALE CATALOGUE OR AVAILABLE FROM THE SALEROOM ON REQUEST. Simon DeCharmes was a French Huguenot immigrant clockmaker who became a Free Brother of the Clockmakers Company in 1691. His work can be directly compared with that of his contemporary Claude DuChesne with both makers being particularly well known for producing highly decorative clocks usually playing music or with other complications such as long duration. There are at least two clocks known where DuChesne has supplied the movement to DeCharmes including a fine walnut three month duration quarter-repeating longcase clock which was sold in these rooms on the 9th September 2009 (lot 102). Simon DeCharmes is known to have been working in London up to around 1730 when it thought that he may have returned to France. The current lot demonstrates DeCharmes no expense spared approach to clockmaking, the massive movement with no less than ten pillars was clearly made with the intention to fill what is in essence an oversized case. The form of the case with its applied brass mouldings (particularly the aperture surrounds to doors and side windows) are typical of those used to house movements by DeCharmes during the latter years of his career in London. Other oversized table clocks are known, particularly from the Windmills Workshop (a walnut clock of large proportions was sold in these rooms 21st March 2007 lot 403), another example by George Graham with a rectangular dial was formerly in the Iden collection. It is probable that such clocks were either made simply to impress or to be utilised in a semi-public context where the use of a longcase clock would be problematic.
A fine Queen Anne walnut and Arabesque marquetry longcase clock of one month duration James Beverley, London circa 1710 The four finned pillar movement with anchor escapement, five-wheel trains and unusual hour striking mechanism utilising a pinned countwheel mounted on the frontplate driven by a two-leaf pinion against a sprung detent to gather the wheel, the 12 inch square brass dial with foliate engraved calendar aperture, ringed winding holes and subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre within an applied Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and signed Jam. Beverley, London to lower edge, the outer track with Arabic five minutes and the angles applied with twin cherub and crown pattern cast spandrels, the case with ogee cornice and foliate fret frieze above foliate trail decorated door applied with conforming marquetry decorated integral columns, with rectangular side windows and conforming quarter columns to rear angles of the hood, the trunk with concave throat moulding and rectangular door centred with a lenticle, on a plinth base with later applied skirt (part of original structure beneath) and bracket feet, the whole elaborately decorated with bird and grotesque inhabited foliate strapwork designs in various woods on a light ground within elaborate repeating foliate borders, 217cm (7ft 2ins) high.
