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

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 will run and strike however the mechanism is a little dirty/tarnished and prone to stopping due to lubrication drying-out/becoming sticky hence a gentle clean and service is advised. The dial panel has a very well executed restored crack across the centre (passing throght the IX and III numerals as well as the centre hole) otherwise is in fine condition with other visible faults limited to minimal wear to the winding holes and couple of very light surface scratches.

WHITE, 20 COCKSPUR ST. LONDON to centre, the 6.5 inch circular convex white painted Roman numeral dial with pierced steel hands, in a case with hinged brass carrying handle to the shallow break-arch top over hinged convex glazed cast brass bezel to front, the sides with arched brass fish scale blind frets beneath applied winged cherub mask spandrel mounts, the rear with rectangular glazed door, on moulded skirt base with brass ogee bracket feet.36cm (14.25ins) high with handle down, 25cm (9.75ins) wide, 18.5cm (7.25ins) deep. Edward White is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of the World: 21st Century Edition as working in Cockspur Street from 1865. He was formerly a foreman with Dent and he is particularly well known for his high-quality carriage clocks. Condition Report: The movement is in good original working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is a little dirty/discoloured so a gentle clean/service may be advisable. The dial appears to have been refinished to resemble fired-enamel and is in good condition with visible faults limited to very light edge chipping to the left hand winding hole. The case is probably an early 20th century purpose-made replacement. Evidence for this is slight elongation of the screw holes of the securing brackets suggesting that the the movement and dial were originally fitted to a slightly narrower. The gong coil appears to be a well-matched replacement (post appears original). The case is in good original unrestored condition with faults very much limited to slight shrinkage and minor age related bumps, scuffs and wear.Clock has a pendulum and a winder but no case key.

A REGENCY BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY BRACKET CLOCK IN THE MANNER OF THOMAS HOPE WITH WALL BRACKETLEPLASTRIER, THE CASE POSSIBLY BY BANTING AND FRANCE, LONDON, CIRCA 1825The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum with holdfast to the geometric border-engraved backplate, the pendulum with fine screw slider for regulation and conforming concentric engraved decoration to the bob, the 7 inch circular convex cream painted Roman numeral dial signed LEPLASTRIER , MARK LANE, LONDON to centre and with steel spade hands set behind hinged convex-glazed cast brass bezel milled with continuous repeating husk design, the case in the Romano-Egyptian taste with brass pineapple finial to the radial gadroon-carved hipped 'chamfer top' upstand incorporating ogee moulded collar and flanked by honeysuckle carved acroteria finials, above geometric brass-inlaid ebonised moulded panel outline tapered front with crisply cut horizontal fluted infill and canted cast gilt brass mummiform mounts decorated with pseudo hieroglyphs to angles, the apron with shaped brass fillet inset panel flanked by canted acanthus scrolls supporting the figures, the sides with obelisk outline repeating Gothic arch tracery pierced brass frets and the rear with rectangular glazed door set within the frame of the case, on fluted panel inset skirt base with stylised fan carved feet; the wall bracket with shallow triangular pediment upstand to the table over fluted panel to frieze and generous scroll-carved support beneathThe clock 52.5cm (21.75ins) high, 33cm (13ins) wide, 19.5cm (7.75ins) deep; the clock on wall bracket 76.5cm (30ins) high overall. The movement of the present lot is most likely either by either Isaac Leplastrier or his son, John who are recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working from Mark Lane, London 1813-20 and 1817-25 respectively. A partnership between 'Leplastrier and Son' (most likely Isaac and John) is also noted by Baillie as working in London 1820-25. The case of the current lot belongs to a series which share the same basic form and many core details. A slightly simpler variant (without the mummiform figures to the front angles) was offered in these rooms on 28th August 2014 (lot 116) which was stamped with the initials 'B.F.' to the interior of the case. Another further example (perhaps the earliest from this series), this time with a movement by Atkins and Son and formerly in the possession of the Marquesses of Bristol, was sold by Christie's, King Street, London at their 'Ellerslie House' sale, 24th May 2001 (lot 65). The first Marquis of Bristol employed the firm of Banting, France and Company to supply furniture for Ickworth, Suffolk including the state bed which shares similar details such as the 'acrotoria' finials with the 'Atkins & Son' clock and the current lot. This presence of the other example stamped 'B.F.' and another provenanced as most likely being from an interior furnished by Banting and France would suggest that this series of cases were probably made by them perhaps to special order. Indeed the design, with its robust fusion of Ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian styles demonstrates the strong influence of Thomas Hope who, in his 1807 book Household Furniture published designs considered to be the height of fashion at the time. When considering his designs for smaller pieces of furniture such as for 'Recesses in the shape of ancient hypogea' (see Hope, Thomas Household Furniture plate XXVII no. I) the inspiration for the current lot can clearly be seen.Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial retains old surface but with filling/retouching around to several areas around the edge most noticeably between the X and XI numeral. The numerals show wear and some retouching (as does the signature) the hands appear undamaged. The case is generally in fine original condition and of very good colour with faults limited to relatively minor genuine age-related blemishes. The front is lacking very slender stringing to the upper downward-curved edge of the apron panel (only noticeable on very close examination), both finials have small chips to the apex of each. The rear door is lacking its lock and there is noticeable overall losses/chipping to the veneer overlap to the to and left-hand margins. Faults are otherwise very much limited to minor shrinkage cracking and a few light bumps, scuffs etc. The bracket has a small chip to the lower left hand corner of the table fascia. The underside has overall slight shrinkage cracking and some bruising to the rear left hand corner (commensurate with a series of light hammer taps to adjust the platform lever during mounting on a wall). Clock has pendulum, winder and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE II/III POLISHED FRUITWOOD TABLE CLOCKROBERT BENN, LONDON, MID 18th CENTURYThe four pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum, the strike train now with added 'three-in-two' quarter-chiming mechanism sounding on a graduated nest of six bells utilising pump-action pinned cylinder for both the quarter and hour bells, the backplate with pendulum holdfast hook and signed in fine copperplate script Robert Benn, London to centre, the 7 inch brass break-arch dial with shaped false bob and calendar apertures to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute ring, with pierced blued steel hands and female mask and scroll pattern spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a Strike/Silent selection dial flanked by conforming grotesque Indian mask cast mounts, the inverted bell-top case with hinged brass carrying handle and double cavetto top mouldings over hinged front with raised mouldings bordering the glazed dial aperture and scroll cast brass shaped frets to the upper quadrants, the sides with arch-glazed apertures and the rear with rectangular break-arch glazed door applied with conforming raised mouldings, on cavetto moulded skirt base with brass bracket feet.45cm (17.75ins) high with handle down, 29cm (11.5ins) wide, 19.5cm (7.75ins) deep. Robert Benn is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London 1716-40. The movement of the present clock has additional wheel and under-dial work added to facilitate quarter-striking on a graduated nest of six bells in addition to the hour striking. This work has been very competently executed with minimal modification of the strike train itself hence does not significantly detract from the overall originality of the clock. Condition Report: As catalogued the movement has had wheelwork and under-dial work added to convert the strike train from hour strike only to 'two-in-one' quarter chiming. The strike train itself is fundamentally unaltered. The under-dial work for the quarter chiming has been very well executed and is well designed. The top left hand pillar has been substituted for a pivot-block for the quarter and hour hammers. Movement retains its original verge escapement configuration and is otherwise in sound original relatively clean working condition. The dial is in good original condition with noticeable faults limited to a light vertical scratch to the centre above the false bob aperture, the finishes have some patchy discolouration and have an overall 'mellow' appearance; the hour hand is a replacement the minute appears original. The case appears original to the movement however the left hand securing bracket has been lowered to allow room for the pump-spring for the later quarter chiming work. The finish was originally ebonised and the surface has been polished back to now resemble mahogany in colour. The rear door hinges are replacements otherwise the locks and hinges appear original but reset with later screws. The veneers have a few historic patch repairs (most noticeably to the veneer overlap to the leading upright bordering the glazed aperture to the left hand side) and minor age related bumps, scuffs and other blemishes otherwise case is in very sound original condition. Clock has a winder and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE I POSTED THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE OR WALL CLOCK MOVEMENT AND DIALJOHN SANDERSON, WIGTON, CIRCA 1715The two-handed posted countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the frame with column turned corner posts and ball feet, the 11.5 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture and ring turned 'dummy winding hole' decoration to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with complex cruciform half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed John Sanderson, WIGTON to lower edge, with scroll pierced steel hands and the angles without applied spandrels.The movement and dial 29cm (11.5cm) square, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep. John Sanderson is recorded in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers as born in Wigton, Cumberland in 1671, he was orphaned at the age of twelve and brought up by his uncle. He was thought to have been apprenticed to John Ogden of Bowbridge and by 1691 he had set up business in Wigton and married a local Quaker girl, Elizabeth Pearson. John Sanderson was a colourful character who apparently travelled to as far afield as Edinburgh to attend Quaker meetings perhaps with the ulterior motive of using such gatherings to peddle his clocks. He had one son, also named John, who followed his father into the clockmaking trade but subsequently left to set up business in Newcastle-on-Tyne after a quarrel. John senior continued working in Wigton presumably until his death in 1754. The movement of the current lot is typical of Sanderson's work as it closely resembles that of a lantern clock including turned posts and feet which were probably cast in his own workshop. The dial lacks the biblical motto for which Sanderson is famed, however is nicely detailed and distinctive in character. Such movements are thought to have originally been made to sit on wall brackets rather than be housed in a case; a well-made bracket is included in the lot in order for the clock to be enjoyed as the maker intended. Condition Report: Movement appears all original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The pulleys run with chains, it is most likely that the pulley-centres have been replaced as it would have almost certainly been rope-driven. The pinions show slight wear, and both the pallet front pivot plate and backcock have been repaired but the mechanism is in sound working condition. The dial is original to the movement and is in good original condition although the chapter ring has lost its silvering and the brass shows some slight mellowing. The spandrel areas also have filled holes indicating that castings were fitted at one point.Movement is complete with a pendulum, a weight, and a modern wooden wall bracket Condition Report Disclaimer

The present clock would have almost certainly been made by Thomas Harrison who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Liverpool 1770-1803. He later went into partnership with a member of the eminent Finney family of Liverpool clock and watch makers.Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is nicely finished and in clean condition. The moon disc has had some re-touching and now has a coat of varnish otherwise is in fine condition; all functions are connected and in working order. The minute hand has a thicker later hand fitted (wired) over the top of the original - probably to make it more visible from a distance however this can most likely be easily removed.The movement and dial are fitted onto a well-made replacement seatboard. The fact that the seatboard is a replacement means that we cannot offer any categorical assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case however the cheek uprights of the trunk appear to retain their original height would make us inclined to give the clock the benefit of the doubt.The case is generally in very presentable condition with and of good colour. The central verre eglomise panel is cracked and the gilt decoration is worn; hood otherwise is in fine original condition. The trunk is generally in very good condition with noticeable faults limited to some cracking and historic repairs towards the rear of the left-hand side (probably due to joint between the side and the backboard becoming loose at some time). The trunk door retains its original lock and hinges and is fine straight condition. The base has a vertical shrinkage crack to the raised panel otherwise is in fine condition.Clock is complete with pendulum, two weights, winder and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer
