A FINE FRENCH GILT REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH MULTI-COLOURED PATINATED RELIEF CHINOISERIE PANELSACHILLE BROCOT, PARIS, CIRCA 1880The eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and stamped with central AB within a star trademark over serial number 904 to lower left-hand corner of the backplate, the rectangular dial with stylised rosette decorated in gilt, copper and silver onto a pewter-grey background to centre within a recessed silvered Roman numeral chapter ring, with steel spade hands within conforming multi-coloured panel infill to upper and lower margins decorated with game birds and flowering foliage, the gilt case with part-silvered hinged reeded baton carrying handle and thick bevelled top glass to the canted-edge projecting top, over caddy moulded cornice and rectangular section uprights to angles, the sides inset with panels decorated in silver and gilt with figures in oriental dress seated within trellis garden landscapes incorporating pseudo Chinese text, with pewter-grey background for the sky and copper-coloured borders, the rear with bevel-glazed door, on generous cavetto moulded skirt base.176m (6.25ins) high with handle down, 11.5cm (4.5ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep.  Achille Brocot is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as born in 1817 and died in 1878. The Museums Victoria (Australia) website notes that Achille patented several improvements in clock mechanism escapements, and invented the 'Brocot Suspension', an adjustable pendulum spring which enabled time keeping to be regulated by altering the length of the pendulum suspension spring by a key turned in the dial. He also introduced a jewelled deadbeat escapement, sometimes called a visible escapement as it was often mounted in the middle of the dial. Achille was awarded a first class medal at the Paris Exhibition in 1855, and in 1856 was appointed Treasurer to La Société des Horlogers in Paris. He published a 'Calculation of the Wheels by Approximation' in 1862. His sons Achille and Paul continued the business following Achille senior's death 1878. The firm was taken over by rival clock maker Gustave Gibaudet in 1889.  The highly decorative panels 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. This rare form of decoration is normally only seen on a select few high-end carriage clock cases with an example illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 160 (Fig. 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'. Condition Report: Movement is complete and appears all original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The movement is essentially in full working order however is generally somewhat dirty/neglected hence a gentle clean/service is required. The dial is in fine condition with only a couple of spots of slight discolouration to the finishes. The case is in fine condition with blemishes limited to a small corner chip to the top glass (only visible on close examination) some patchy tarnishing to the silver highlights of the handle, and some slight wear/rubbing to the lacquer coat protecting the gilt finish (gilding itself is essentially unworn). The side panels are in fine condition with no discernible wear or discolouration and the front and rear door glasses are free from visible damage.Clock has a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND PANELLED SEAWEED MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKJEREMIAH JOHNSON, LONDON, CIRCA 1695-1700The five finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 11 inch square brass dial with scroll border engraved calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to the rose decorated matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track and signed Jere. Johnson, in Exchange Alley to lower edge, with fine sculpted pierced steel hands and applied winged cherub mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles with foliate scroll engraved decoration to the dial plate edges between, the case with later added domed cady surmount over architectural repeating leaf inlaid cornice, foliate scroll fretwork frieze, and delicate floral marquetry trail decorated hinged glazed dial surround applied with Solomonic three quarter columns to front angles, the sides of the hood with rectangular windows, the trunk with conforming scroll decorated convex throat moulding over 41 inch rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle and with three shaped marquetry panels decorated with symmetrical leafy scrolling foliate trails within foliate banded borders and a walnut field, with cross-grain half-round edge mouldings and further conforming foliate band to frame surround, the sides veneered with twin line-bordered panels within crossbanded borders, the base with stepped ogee top moulding over front with conforming marquetry panel within foliate and crossbanded borders, on bun feet.200cm (78.75ins) high excluding later caddy surmount, 45.5cm (18ins) wide, 24cm, (9.5ins) deep. Jeremiah Johnson is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born circa 1646 and apprenticed to Nicholas Payne in 1660 before being passed onto Abraham Beckner and then Ahasuerus Fromanteel (II) finally gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1668. He lived in St. Margaret's, Lothbury and took many apprentices including his son of the same name in 1697. From around 1707 Johnson received charitable payments from the Clockmakers' Company which were maintained until his death in late 1709. Condition Report: Movement is in fine original condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements with the possible exception of the escapement pallets. Although relatively clean and in working condition a precautionary clean/gentle service is advised. The dial is in good clean condition with faults limited to visible chapter ring foot rivet mark at twelve o'clock and repairs to the finely worked hour hand. The movement retains an old (probably original seatboard) however there are thin packing slips applied to the cheek uprights of the case which suggests that the movement and dial are most likely not original to the case.The case is generally in sound original condition. The hood was originally rising hence the opening front is an early modification that has been executed cleanly. The caddy is a 19th century addition which could easily be removed and replaced with a top board applied to the original aperture. The rear edges no longer have quarter columns and the frieze fret is a replacement otherwise hood is in good original condition with age related wear, some minor veneer/moulding chips and shrinkage. The trunk and base of the case are also in good original condition. The side throat mouldings are stained pine hence are most likely historic replacements. The trunk door has a very slight warp causing the top left corner to project forward by around 7mm; this is not particularly noticeable and can probably be further reduced by adjusting the hinges. The hinges are old replacements; the lock appears original. The marquetry to the door is in fine condition with no apparent losses but with some lifting towards the upper and lower margins. The edge mouldings are complete but lifting in a few areas. The sides of the trunk are in good original condition although the left-hand side has a section of crossbanded to the rear edge replaced. The base is original, the vertical crossbanding flanking the marquetry panel has been replaced and has losses to upper corners and to the left-hand side at the centre. The upper left-hand corner also has a small loss to the moulding and there is a shrinkage crack across the centre. The bottom edge of the front and both sides have at some point had the bottom inch of veneer removed (most likely to assist with the attachment of a later skirt which is no longer present). Replacement veneer has been applied but not particularly well. The left-hand side has a veneer chip/loss to the upper front corner. The structure of the plinth appears all original and is in sound condition; the backboard retains all of its original length. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor age-related bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and minor repairs.Clock has pendulum, pair of 'period' brass cased weights, door key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE ITALIAN WALNUT TABLE CLOCK WITH PULL QUARTER-REPEAT ON TWO BELLSUNSIGNED, PROBABLY NORTH ITALY, CIRCA 1700The five knopped pillar twin chain fusee countwheel bell striking movement with verge escapement for regulation by short bob pendulum, the strike train with decorative concentric ring-turned countwheel positioned to the upper right of the backplate and sounding on the larger of the two vertical bells set above the movement, the 7.75 inch square fire-gilt copper dial with ringed winding holes and shaped false bob aperture to the matted centre within applied pewter Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised foliate half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and applied cast and chased winged cherub head spandrels to angles, in a case with domed caddy surmount and baluster gallery incorporating canted projecting plinths at the angles to superstructure, over architectural entablature and hinged glazed door flanked by free-standing Solomonic twist columns, the sides with rectangular windows and the flush rear with rectangular panel door, the base with apron drawer later veneered with a conch shell flanked by conforming projecting angles over ogee moulded skirt and brass ball feet.57.5cm (22.75ins) high, 41.5cm (16.25ins) wide, 21.5cm (8.5ins) deep.  Although unsigned details within the movement of the present clock, such as relatively straight tapered (very shallow concave) fusees cut for thick chains, finely executed turning to some of the arbors, thick concentric turned countwheel, and decorative scroll feet to the thickly cast backcock, are all indicative of Italian work. Furthermore, as often is the case with Italian clocks, the movement has survived in fine original condition with minimal wear. The design of the repeat work employed is relatively simple and well thought-out using a rack to govern the quarters and a stepped cam pulley-stop for the quarters. Similar systems are discussed and illustrated in section 2 of Dzik, Sunny and Still, Roger BENEATH THE DIAL, English Clock Pull Repeat Striking 1675-25 pages 154-59. 

A FRENCH GILT BRASS CARRIAGE TIMEPIECEDROCOURT, PARIS, FOR RETAIL BY D. BOER AND FILS, THE HAGUE, CIRCA 1870The eight-day single train movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by split bimetallic balance, the frontplate stamped with numbers 20104 and 10812 and the backplate with Drocourt D C trademark to left hand margin over repeat serial number 10812 to the corner beneath, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands over retailer's signature D. BOER, A LA HAYE to lower margin, the gilt corniche case with hinged carrying handle over oval top glass, cavetto cornice and caddy-moulded corner uprights, the rear with bevel glazed door, on cavetto moulded skirt base with rounded angles; with original Morocco leather covered protective travelling case and conforming numbered winding key.The clock 13.25cm (5.25ins) high with handle down, 9cm (3.5ins) wide, 7.5cm (3ins) deep. Pierre Drocourt is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development with further additions and corrections from research undertaken by Leigh Extence (available online) as born in 1819 and setting up in business as a clockmaker in Paris in 1853. He initially worked from Rue Limoges (later called 28 Rue Debelleyme after the rationalisation and merger of Streets in 1865), Paris and was succeeded by his son, Alfred (born 1847), in 1872. The blancs roulants, rough movements, were made in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont, a town outside Dieppe, where Drocourt had workshops until their sale in 1904, being premises purchased from Holingue freres in 1875 who had previously supplied Drocourt. The firm was awarded numerous international exhibition medals and mentions including Silver in Paris 1878 and Gold in 1889.  Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial appears free from damage although has a small 'smudge' most likely oil residue just below the VII numeral and the retail signature is slightly rubbed. The gilt finish has overall fairly heavy wear/tarnishing; the glasses appear free form visible chips. The travelling case is lacking its strap handle and has wear and losses to the leather; the interior is a faded and frayed at the edges but is otherwise sound.Clock retains its original numbered winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT BRASS CARRIAGE CLOCK OF SQUAT PROPORTIONSCOUAILLET FRERES, SAINT-NICHOLAS-D' ALIERMONT, EARLY 20th CENTURYThe eight-day two train gong striking movement with platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel spade hands, the frosted gilt brass corniche case with hinged carrying handle over oval top glass, cavetto cornice and caddy-moulded corner uprights, the rear with bevel glazed door, on cavetto moulded skirt base with rounded angles.13cm (5.125ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8cm (3.125ins) deep. The hand-setting arrow stamp to the movement backplate of the current lot conforms to that used by the Couaillet family as illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development on page 435. Couaillet Freres are discussed by Leigh Extence in his article The Carriage Clock Makers of Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont published in 'National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors Bulletin', 2020; where they are described as being one of the most prolific of the carriage clock makers of carriage clocks operating from the horological town of Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont (near Dieppe) during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1885 Armand Couaillet was employed by the prominent maker Albert Villon, but in 1892 he and his brothers Denis and Ernest set up their own workshops in the centre of the town as Couaillet freres. They increased the size of the concern when buying the house and workshops of Delépine-Barrois across the road in 1912. Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is in fine condition with no visible defects. The case is in very good condition with only very slight tarnishing/mellowing to the gilt finish. There are no visible chips to the glasses.Clock does not have a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A VERY RARE FRENCH HOUDIN-TYPE GILT BRASS MYSTERY GLASS-DIAL NIGHT TIMEPIECEUNSIGNED, MID 19th CENTURYThe circular eight-day single train movement with platform Debaufre-type frictional rest escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, the front motionwork incorporating pulley and continuous coiled spring belt continuing up into the superstructure to drive a revolving circular glass plate, set behind the conforming 4 inch frosted Roman numeral hour disc, fitted with single gilt arrow-shaped hour hand at the centre, the outer track of the dial divided for five minutes and set within a brass ring, over twin griffin-cast supports issuing from a fluted acanthus cast post with lappet leaf decorated collar, the plinth-form base applied with a small candle holder cast as a dolphin set behind the dial over shallow concave sides and repeating oval motif cast caddy top mouldings, above architectural rectangular pilaster corner uprights flanking shaped panels cast in the Renaissance manner with foliate panels to front and sides, the rear with plain pin-hinged door, the moulded panelled apron skirt applied with Baroque strapwork mount to front and rosette decorated plinths to angles.34.5cm (13.5ins) high, the base 12cm (4.75ins) square.The present lot is a very rare variant following in the manner of Robert Houdin who developed this form of mystery timepiece during the 1830's. Houdin's timepieces were made with movements concealed within a decorative shaped base and utilised a pin-wheel and take-off arbor to drive the rear glass plate. The current lot, however, uses a much simpler system. A tightly-coiled spring 'belt' is driven by a pully fitted to the front of the movement, this passes through the griffin cast mounts and over the of the rear revolving glass plate and is concealed within the brass frame bordering the dial. The plate rotates and the hand fixed to its centre provides the time on the separate stationary frosted glass hour dial. A further noteworthy detail is that the movement incorporates a Debaufre-type frictional rest escapement as used by Paul Garnier in his early carriage clocks. The provision of a candle holder behind the translucent dial disc is also a useful addition as it allows the present lot to function as an effective night timepiece.  Condition Report: The movement is complete and in working order with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is a little dirty hence a sensitive clean/service is advised. The drive to the dial is present however the finely coiled wire/spring belt is not being driven by the pulley at the front of the movement due to lack of friction (pully turns but slips within the belt). The glass dial plate with the hand turns freely together with the belt - hence if the friction between the drive pulley and the belt itself could be improved then the dial would most likely operate correctly. The glass dial plates appear original and are undamaged, the numerals are very slightly faded. The bezel ring around the dial is tarnished/discoloured at the front but retains good gilt finish at the rear. The case is generally in very good original condition retaining gilt finish with only minor spotting/discolouration and edge wear in places; the finish is a little dull/dirty so may benefit from a gentle clean if looking for a strong bright finish.Timepiece has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT BRASS CARRIAGE CLOCKHENRI JACOT, PARIS, CIRCA 1880The eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by split bimetallic balance, the frontplate stamped 771 and the backplate with Henri Jacot H J parrot trademark to centre over serial number 11771 to lower left corner, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel spade hands, the frosted gilt corniche case with hinged carrying handle over oval top glass, cavetto cornice and caddy-moulded corner uprights, the rear with bevel glazed door, on cavetto moulded skirt base with rounded angles; with protective travelling case.The clock 15cm (6ins) high with handle down, 9cm (3.5ins) wide, 8cm (3.125ins) deep. 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: Movement is in clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is free from any visible defects except for a very small scratch to the centre (only visible on close examination). The case is in very good condition with no discernible wear/tarnishing to the gilt finish and there are no visible chips to the glasses. The travelling case has been recovered in blue leather which now shows signs of overall light wear, the interior has been refurbished in purple velvet which again only shows light wear; there is no glass of front shutter with the outer the case.There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT BRASS CARRIAGE CLOCKPROBABLY BY JULES BRUNELOT, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURYThe two train eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by split bimetallic balance, the inside of both pates stamped 214 and the lower left hand corner of the backplate further stamped with trademark of B within a circle, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands, the frosted gilt corniche case with hinged carrying handle over oval top glass, cavetto cornice and caddy-moulded corner uprights, the rear with bevel glazed door, on cavetto moulded skirt base with rounded angles.14cm (5.75ins) high, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.25cm (3.25ins) deep. 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 in clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is in fine condition with no visible defects. The case is in very good condition with no discernible wear or tarnishing/mellowing to the gilt finish. There are no visible chips to the glasses.Clock does not have a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH LACQUERED BRASS FOUR-GLASS MANTEL CLOCKRICHARD ET CIE, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURYThe circular eight-day two train bell striking movement with visible Brocot escapement regulated by twin capsule mercury compensated pendulum with Brocot type regulation to suspension, the backplate stamped with oval caduceus R C trademark over serial number 2723, the circular two-piece white enamel Roman numeral dial with visible escapement to the recessed centre and blued steel spade hands set within gilt ogee moulded bezel,, the bevel-glazed case with cavetto moulded cornice over caddy moulded uprights, on skirt base incorporating bracket feet to the rounded angles; with original cavetto moulded wooden stand with bun feet.The clock 29.5cm (11.75ins) high, 18cm (7ins) wide, 14cm (5.5ins) deep; the clock on stand 23.5cm (13.25ins) high overall. Richard and Company are recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development as founded in Paris in 1848 and setting-up a London retail outlet in 1857. By 1867 the branch was located at 24 Cannon Street and signed clocks in English. Richard et Cie were prolific makers of better quality carriage clocks as well as other types of decorative mantel clock who received an Honourable Mention in the 1889 Paris Exposition. Condition Report: Movement appears complete and all-original. The strike train is operational however sounds at around ten-past the hour/half hour hence positioning of minute hand requires adjustment. The going train will wind and appears free from visible damage however the escapement will not beat; this is most likely due to the mechanism being gummed-up (but we cannot confirm this without removing the dial) hence a clean and overhaul is required. The dial appears free form any visible damage. The front door glass has some slight chipping to the upper right and lower left corners; the rear door to the upper right; and both side glasses to upper left otherwise case is in good overall condition with some patchy discolouration/tarnishing to the lacquer finish in places. The stand is in good original condition with fading/wear to velvet top lining and slight wear/rubbing.Clock has original pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY BAYONET-TUBE MERCURY STICK BAROMETER WITH HYGROMETER AND THERMOMETERSAMUEL TOULMIN, LONDON, CIRCA 1775The caddy moulded case with open triangular pediment above hygrometer with independent adjustment for the beard pointer via a brass turn-screw set beneath, over inset silvered vernier scale with curved lower angles and calibrated in barometric inches to the right hand margin opposing weather observations to the left, the upper margin signed Toulmin Strand London, the trunk inset with silvered arched Fahrenheit scale mercury tube thermometer with domed brass protective cover to the bulb and decorative engraved border, the rounded base with circular moulded cistern cover and brass level adjustment screw to underside.109cm (43ins) high, 17cm (6.75ins) wide. Provenance: Property of Harry Taft Hayward (1868 - 1930) and Edith Wires (1872 - 1962) Skyring House, Worthing, and thence by descent.  Samuel Toulmin is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working from Strand, London 1757-83. Condition Report: Tube is present and appears intact however almost all of the mercury has gone. The cistern cover is securely fixed hence we are unable to establish whether the cistern is complete or the condition of the concealed part of the tube. The lever adjustment screw is present hence it is most likely the cistern is present but is no longer fluid-tight. The hygrometer is complete and the adjustment action is operational. The thermometer is complete, the tube filled and providing appropriate reading. The silvered scales have overall browning to their lacquer otherwise are in sound condition albeit with some very slight wear to the engraving (no doubt from previous re-silvering). The case is in sound original condition however the pediment is currently detached and is lacking the return mouldings to the sides. There is also a loss to the lower tip of the side 'corbel' moulding (to the left-hand side) as well as some wear/chips to the extremities of the mouldings in general. The trunk has some veneer shrinkage cracking to the front otherwise the case is in original relatively untouched condition with faults limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE FRENCH ENGRAVED BRASS GIANT GRANDE SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCKUNSIGNED, 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 with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and the backplate stamped with serial number 280 to the lower left-hand corner, the 3 inch circular white enamel Roman numeral dial disc with blued steel spade hands set within a fine rectangular engraved gilt brass mask decorated in the late 17th century style with cherubs amongst foliate strapwork to apron flanked by female terms supporting husk decorated upper border interrupted by pendant masks over further scrollwork engraved into a matted ground, the thick bevel glazed corniche type case with foliate engraved faceted-baton centred hinged handle over oval top glass set within fine allegorical mask and foliate scroll engraved borders, with floral train decorated cavetto moulded cornice and caddy moulded corner uprights finely decorated with further female terms supporting baskets of flowerers to the rounded sections, the rear with hinged door, on cavetto moulded skirt base further engraved with 17th century style foliate strapwork into a matted ground, the underside with Hours and Quarters/Silent/Quarters Only strike selection lever.22cm (8.75ins) high with handle down, 13.5cm (5.25ins) wide, 12cm (4.75) ins deep. The very fine engraved decoration, large proportions and grande-sonnerie striking renders the present clock a particularly impressive example. Therefore, the reason why the maker, or even a retailer, chose not to sign it does come across as a little baffling, however this is not at all unusual with regards to even the best quality French carriage of the period. A cursory survey through the usual reference works (and auction catalogues of notable collections) has failed to identify other examples closely related to the present lot; although a clock with significant similarities in the case, most notably the carrying handle, attributed to the specialist maker of fly-back calendar work, Victorien Boseet, is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling Clocks on page 222 (Figure 13-26). Condition Report: AMENDED 10/09/2023The movement appears complete and all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The platform escapement is missing three of its four securing screws hence is not secured properly, consequently the contrate is not meshing with the escape wheel pinion causing the train to run-through when wound. The escapement appears free from visible damage (balance staff and escapewheel pivots appear sound) but is somewhat gummed-up with dry oil and the top jewel aperture appears to be filled with some form of filler or residue hence will probably require a new jewel. There is no visible damage to the escape wheel pinion or contrate wheel. The strike train appears intact and will just about operate however there are issues with the gathering of the racks which most likely due to being gummed-up or slight misalignment rather than serious wear. Being a giant carriage clock the strikework is more heavily engineered than normally encountered. The dial has a very small/short scratch to the centre between the VIII and IX numerals otherwise dial appears free form visible faults. The case is in sound original condition however the lower pin for the rear door pivot is missing hence door is not secure. The rear door glass has fairly significant edge chipping across the top, the front and side glasses have corner chips. The case otherwise is in good original condition retaining traces of original gilding.Generally a very fine clock with exceptional engraving which presents as an eminently viable restoration project. There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN UNUSUAL GEORGE I WALNUT OUTER DISPLAY CASE FOR A TABLE CLOCKANONYMOUS, CIRCA 1720The domed caddy superstructure capped with a rectangular upstand set on a cavetto moulded collar and veneered with crossbanded burr-walnut to top surface, flanked by four ball finials each applied onto a projecting plinth, over generous cavetto moulded cornice and hinged front panel centred with a 7 inch glazed dial aperture enclosing interior measuring 10.75 inches wide, 6.625 inches deep and 15 inches high, the sides with gilt brass carrying handles within crossbanded panels and the rear faced with a conforming arrangement of veneers, on cavetto moulded base incorporating bracket feet.51cm (20ins) high, 35.5cm (14ins) wide, 25.5cm (10ins) deep. The current lot is unusual in that that it is clearly designed to display a 17th century table clock whilst serving as a protective case. Although outer protective cases for table clocks are known they are scarce and generally utilitarian in their form being mostly made of oak with iron fittings; one such case (for a clock by Joseph Windmills) is illustrated in Dawson, P.G.; Drover, C.B. and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks on page 476 (Plates 702/03). The present case, although clearly designed to house a 17th century table clock with 7 inch dial, would appear to stylistically date to around 1720. Indeed the unusual arrangement of finials are suggestive of the architectural influences of Vanbrugh and the bracket feet would indicate a date of around 1720. Furthermore the overall, slightly naïve, proportions of the case would also suggest that its origins are provincial perhaps North Country or even Irish. From this it may be reasonable to suggest that the owner of a late 17th century London-made table clock was looking to perhaps 'update' the appearance of his expensive clock, hence rather than re-case the movement and dial, he sought to have an outer case made thus retaining the clock itself in its original form. Notwithstanding the rarity of the present lot another outer case, this time designed with a glazed front applied with repousse mounts to display a clock by Nathaniel Hodges, is illustrated by Dawson, Drover and Parkes on page, 460 (Plate 677). The practice of housing clocks in purpose-made outer display cases would seem to be logical when considered alongside the contemporary approach to watches, which were more often than not pair or triple-cased.
