A FRENCH GILT BRASS REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK Achille Brocot, Paris, late 19th centuryThe two train eight-day bell striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and stamped with A B oval star trademark over serial number 100 to backplate, the rectangular white enamel dial with Arabic five minutes to outer track and gilt moon hands, the frosted gilt bevel-glazed corniche case with hinged carrying handle over cavetto top mouldings, caddy moulded angles and skirt base.13cm (5ins) high excluding handle, 8.5cm (3.375ins) wide, 7.5cm (3ins) deep. Provenance : The estate of Lawrance Hurst. 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. 

A FINE PATINATED AND GILT BRONZE TABLE REGULATOR WITH SIX-LEGGED GRAVITY ESCAPEMENTSinclair Harding, Cheltenham, circa 1985-90The circular gilt four double-screwed columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power, external six-legged gravity escapement incorporating jewelled pallets pivoted beneath sub frame mounted on the backplate, and regulated by half-seconds pendulum with wire rod and large diameter heavy gilt brass cylindrical bob, the 6 inch circular silvered dial with eccentric Roman numeral chapter ring interrupted by slender subsidiary seconds ring at six o'clock and with separate outer minute track, applied onto the frosted silvered ground over two curved plates signed SINCLAIR, HARDING to lower margin, with blued steel spade hands within canted gilt circular surround, the case with fluted urn finial to the gilt line bordered stepped cavetto moulded panel upstand over keystone latch for the full-height bevelled front glass and rectangular section patinated bronze corner uprights incorporating horizontal gilt line details at the base of the arch, the sides with curved glasses following the profile of the arch over gilt rail and further rectangular windows, the rear matching the front, the interior with gilt floor applied with silvered pendulum beat scale calibrated 5-0-5 and engraved with serial number 869, on stepped black marble plinth base with chamfered edges and canted angles over brass ball feet.56cm (2ins) high, 26cm (10.25ins) wide, 23cm (9ins) deep. The Cheltenham based clockmaking firm Sinclair Harding was established by Bill Sinclair and Mike Harding in 1967. Between 1971 and around 1995 the business evolved from being initially focussed on restoration and repair to designing and building their own clocks including chiming longcase and table clocks, their design of 'sea clock', giant and perpetual calendar carriage clocks. In 1995 Mike Harding retired leaving the firm in the hands of Robert Bray; the following year Sinclair Harding were commissioned to make the clock for the Oval cricket ground and the business was relocated to North Yorkshire. In 1999 their first scale version of John Harrison's sea clock was produced adding to their ever increasing catalogue of complex timepieces, and 2010 saw Robert Bray awarded the Barrett Silver Medal by the British Horological Institute as well as being appointed Vice President. The firm have always been regular attendees at Baselworld and in 2017 exhibited their Harrison H1 timepiece at Salon QP. The Gravity escapement in the current lot has its roots in the exploratory designs of some of the leading late 18th and early 19th century makers such as Berthoud, Mudge, Cumming and Hardy. Bloxam had come close to perfecting the design in 1853 however was still plagued by the fault encountered by earlier attempts in that the pallets tended to bounce off the escapement locking surface; known as 'tripping'. Edward Denison (later Lord Grimthorp) perfected the gravity escapement in 1860 by eliminating the tripping problem. He did this through the connection of a fly (air brake), directly to the escape arbor via a friction clutch. It allows the fan to advance slightly after the escapement engages the pallet. The inertia provided by the weight of the fly keeps the escapement seated against the pallet during locking; in essence acting as an 'energy sink'. This escapement provides a nearly detached pendulum from the rest of the clockwork and, as there is no sliding friction, there is no need to oil the escapement. These features made the escapement perfect for use in turret clocks where a high degree of accuracy can be maintained with minimal maintenance. There are two principal designs of gravity escapement the first is the double three-legged type the second in the four legged design. The former uses two pairs of three legs for the pallets and three impulse pins at the centre whilst the second has four legs and four pins. The disadvantage of the both of these designs is that the escape arbor revolves either 1/6 (double three legged) or 1/4 (four legged) for each beat of the pendulum hence the train of the timepiece needs suitable long gearing to maintain a reasonably long duration. The current movement is unusual in that it utilizes a six legged arrangement which has no doubt been employed to facilitate running with a half-seconds pendulum.Condition Report: Movement is in very fine original condition retaining the original gilding and bluing to the screws etc. blemish free. The mechanism is in working condition however has not been run in a while hence the action of the escapement is prone to slowing-up a little due to the lubrication of the pivots having dried out. With this in mind the mechanism would benefit from a gentle/light service before putting into service. The dial has a very slight scratch to the chapter ring between the VII and VIII numerals otherwise is blemish free.The case is in fine condition with faults limited to slight wear and a small corner chip to the lift-out rear glass panel (which cannot be seen when the panel is in place). Timepiece is complete with a crank winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE FRENCH GRANDE-SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH ALARML. Leroy et Cie, Paris, 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 regulated by spring split bimetallic balance, the left hand end of the backplate engraved L. LEROY 7 Cie, 7 B'd DE LA MADELEINE. PARIS and the centre numbered 16630 over further stamped number 34494 to lower left hand corner, the circular cream enamel Arabic numeral dial indistinctly inscribed L. LEROY & Cie, Horlogers de la..., Paris to centre and with blued steel spade hands set within a frosted rectangular gilt mask incorporating conforming alarm setting dial to lower margin and with canted surround, the case with hinged reeded carrying handle to the generous caddy-moulded top incorporating projections at the angles for the reeded three-quarter column corner uprights, on stepped cavetto moulded skirt base with concave feet, the underside with three-position strike selection switch labelled SONNERIE/SILENCE/G'DE SONNERIE, with original red velvet lined tooled morocco leather covered outer carrying case applied with pierced silver monogram F. M. V. to lid.16.5cm (6.5ins) high excluding handle, 11.5cm (4.5ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep; the leather case 18cm (7ins) high. Provenance: Purchased new by Florence Mary Venables in London around 1900 thence by family descent to the present owner. The firm of 'Leroy et Cie' can be traced back to 1785 when the business was founded by Basille Charles Le Roy at 60 Galerie de Pierre, Palais Royal, Paris. During the Revolutionary years the firm relocated to 88 Rue de L'Egalite before finally settling at Galerie Montpensier, 13 and 15 Palais Royal. In 1828 Basille Charles died leaving the business to his son, Charles-Louis, who continued producing clocks signed 'Le Roy & Fils' until 1845 when the firm was sold to his former employee Casimir Halley Desfontaines; who in turn was succeeded by his son M. George Halley Desfontaines in 1883. In 1888 M. George Halley died leaving the business to his brother Jules Halley who then took-in as a partner Louis Leroy (apparently no relation to the founders of the firm). In 1899 the firm left Palais Royal and moved to Boulevard de La Madeleine where it continued trading in the hands of various successors until well into the 20th century. The current lot would have been made very shortly after L. Leroy et Cie's relocation to 7 Boulevard de La Madeleine in 1899. The robust but restrained architectural style of the case is very much in the 'English' fashion hence it is likely that the clock was made for retail in London; where it was indeed purchased new by the great grandmother of the present owner. Another clock by Leroy et Cie (number 19484) in a closely related case is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS on page 218 (Figure 13-19).  

A FINE FRENCH ENGRAVED GILT BRASS GORGE CASED GRANDE SONNERIE STRIKING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCKAttributed Henri Jacot, Paris for retail by J. Klaftenberger, London, circa 1865The eight-day two train movement configured with ting-tang striking for the quarters on a graduated pair of bells and the hour sounding at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with regulation by gilt platform lever escapement with sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the smaller bell, the inside of the frontplate stamped 670 and the backplate stamped with further number 765 to lower left and engraved J. KLAFTENBERGER, 157 REGENT STREET to bottom margin, the dial with fine foliate scroll engraved rectangular mask enclosing circular white enamel Roman numeral circular insert inscribed J. KLAFTENBERGER, 157 REGENT STREET to centre and with blued steel moon hands over conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the engraved gilt brass gorge case with hinged carrying handle over rectangular top glass within repeating swag border over foliate panel engraved panel bands to top mouldings and channel-moulded uprights, the ogee-outline base further engraved with panels of fruiting foliate and swags, the underside with CLOCK/SILENT/QUARTERS strike selection lever.14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.5cm (3.375ins) deep. Details such as the straight uprights of the handle, rectangular top glass set into an engraved surround, panel decoration to the upper and lower rails, and the design of engraving to the dial mask can be directly compared to an example by Henri Jacot illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other TRAVELLING CLOCKS an page 148 (Figure 9-18). The escapement platform can also be closely compared to one fitted to a grande sonnerie clock by Jacot (number 825) which is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKs, Their history and development on page 114 (Plate V/14). 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.The highly regarded retailer of clocks, watches silverware and objet d'art, Charles Ignaz Klaftenberger, was born in 1802 and entered into partnership with D.F. Aubert in 1835. The firm were appointed watchmakers to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and traded from retail premises at 157 Regent Street, London. They exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition and the partnership appears to have lasted until 1863 after which it would appear that Klaftenberger worked alone until 1881. Klaftenberger only sold the finest carriage clocks supplied by the best makers such as Drocourt and Jacot, with the current lot being a fine example almost certainly supplied by the latter.Condition Report: The movement is in clean fully working condition with no evidence of alteration or significant replacements (including the strike selection switch to the underside which works correctly). Indeed the only (very minor) fault is that the alarm hand does not release the mechanism at the correct time (releases when set around three-hours ahead of the time on the dial). The dial is in fine condition with no visible faults to the enamel of the principal dial; the subsidiary alarm dial has a hairline crack through the centre. The mask is in good condition with only slight overall 'mellowing' to the gilding. The case is also in fine condition with no visible chips to any of the glasses and only slight mellowing/discolouration to the gilding in places.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH ORMOLU FIGURAL MANTEL CLOCKThe movement stamped for Achille Brocot, Paris, circa 1875The circular eight-day two train striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum incorporating Brocot type regulation to escapement and stamped with AB star trademark over numbers 5344, 11, the circular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel hands within repeating bead cast bezel, the break-arch top case with surmount cast as Amor standing with arms resting on his bow and pineapple finials over cavetto moulded cornice and fluted pilasters flanking the dial, the sides with lions mask ring handles and the rear stamped with repeat serial number 5344, on ogee moulded skirt base applied with rosette to apron over lions paw feet, with original giltwood plinth.The clock 35cm (13.75ins) high, 19cm (7.5ins) wide, 13.5cm (5.25ins) deep; including the giltwood plinth 39.5cm (15.5ins) high overall. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy collection. 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.

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. Condition Report: Movement is in working condition however is lacking its bell (bell stand is present), a clean and overhaul is advised as the mechanism is a little tarnished/neglected in appearance. The dial has some light scratching to the surface between the VII and VIII numerals otherwise appears to be completely free of noticeable faults. The case is in fine original condition with strong well executed gilding and faults limited to patchy discolouration/oxidation in places. The clock is securely attached to the giltwood plinth which is also is in good original condition with faults limited to gilt rubbing and fading/wear to the velvet lining applied to its upper surface.Clock has pendulum and a winding key but is lacking its bell. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE FRENCH GILT BRASS GORGE CASED REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH SUBSIDIARY SECONDSLeRoy and Fils incorporating escapement by J. Soldano, Paris and London, late 19th centuryThe eight-day two train gong striking movement stamped 15687 to the inside lower edge of the frontplate and with silvered platform lever escapement incorporating split bimetallic balance and stamped with JS cartouche trademark opposing No. 728, the backplate also numbered 728 to centre and with additional number 4756 to lower left hand corner, the dial with engine-turned rectangular gilt mask enclosing circular white enamel Roman numeral circular insert with small subsidiary seconds dial at twelve o'clock blued steel spade hands, the lower margin with shaped enamel-backed recess inscribed LEROY & FILS, 211 REGENT ST., LONDON, the gilt gorge case with hinged carrying handle over glazed top glass enclosing engine-turned mask with oval aperture for the escapement, with channel moulded uprights and ogee-moulded base; with a red leather covered protective travelling case.The clock 14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.5cm (3.375ins) deep.  The firm of 'Le Roy and Fils' can be traced back to 1785 when the business was founded by Basille Charles Le Roy at 60 Galerie de Pierre, Palais Royal, Paris. During the Revolutionary years the firm relocated to 88 Rue de L'Egalite before finally settling at Galerie Montpensier, 13 and 15 Palais Royal. In 1828 Basille Charles died leaving the business to his son, Charles-Louis, who continued producing clocks signed 'Le Roy & Fils' until 1845 when the firm was sold to his former employee Casimir Halley Desfontaines; who in turn was succeeded by his son M. George Halley Desfontaines in 1883. In 1888 M. George Halley died leaving the business to his brother Jules Halley who then took-in as a partner Louis Leroy (apparently no relation to the founders of the firm). In 1899 the firm left Palais Royal and moved to Boulevard de La Madeleine where it continued trading in the hands of various successors until well into the 20th century. Such was the success of Le Roy and Fils that they were able to open branches in London, firstly at 211 Regent Street from mid 1800s to before 1885 when they moved to 57 Bond Street.The current lot is fitted with an escapement stamped with the 'J S' cartouche trademark for Joseph Soldano who is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCK, Their history and development as a maker of fine carriage clocks. Soldano was awarded medals at the Paris Exhibitions of 1855 & 1878 where it was noted that 'The escapements appeared to us to have been treated with particular care.' Allix notes that their escapements probably made in Geneva, Switzerland and were often stamped 'Soldano' or 'J S'. Although Joseph Soldano made carriage clocks outright (including highly decorated models) he apparently supplied other makers with his high quality escapements, this would certainly appear to be the case with the current lot. Condition Report: The movement is in clean fully working condition with no evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial is in fine condition with no visible faults to the enamel of the principal dial however the integral subsidiary seconds dial has a small chip at the centre. The mask is in good condition with only one or two very slight spots of discolouration and very slight overall 'mellowing' to the gilding. The case is also in fine condition with no visible chips to any of the glasses and negligeable mellowing/discolouration to the gilding. The travelling case is in good condition with only minor wear/blemishes to the covering; the carrying strap is snapped at one end.Clock has a winding key also stamped 728. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE GILT BRASS CARIATIDES CASED GRANDE-SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK Probably by Henri Jacot, Paris, late 19th centuryIn part dismantled condition, the eight-day two train movement configured with ting-tang striking for the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and the hour sounding at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with regulation by platform lever escapement with sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the inside of the frontplate stamped 439, J.. and the backplate stamped with repeat serial number 439, the engine-turned gilt brass dial with fine foliate scroll engraved rectangular mask enclosing Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised rosette centre and blued steel moon hands over conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel-glazed frosted gilt break-arch cariatides case with hinged reeded carrying handle over thick curved top glass to pediment inset with a cast laurel wreath to tympanum incorporating repeat button, The cornice with reeded band over, Classical female term applied canted angles, on conforming reeded band decorated ogee moulded base with stepped skirt and squat pad feet, the underside with Grande Sonnerie/Silence/Petite Sonnerie selection lever, (part disassembled with under-dial work, escapement and all other components normally fitted to the exterior of the plates presently off the movement and bagged).18cm (7.25ins) high excluding handle; 11.5cm (4,5ins) wide; 10cm (4ins) deep. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a horologist. The current lot can be directly compared to an example attributed to Henri Jacot illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 107 (Fig. 6-44) whilst another, also by Jacot and in a case of identical form, is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development page 172 (Plate VII/24) as well as on the rear of the dust jacket. 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.

The business is thought to have continued until around 1920.Condition Report: As catalogued the current clock is being offered in part-disassembled condition hence will require the attention of a suitably experienced clockmaker/horologist to re-assemble and make the necessary adjustments before the clock can be appreciated in working condition. We understand that the clock was being re-assembled after being dismantled for a clean/service when the previous owner (a skilled horologist) passed away and has been stored for a few years in this condition. Although we can offer no assurances it would appear that the trains are in good condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements and the escapement appears to be in sound condition and most likely original to the clock. All the under-dial work has been part categorised and bagged-up and cursory checking through would suggest that all significant components are present and in serviceable condition however as we are not trained horologists we cannot offer any assurances that this is the situation. The dial is in fine condition with only very minimal build-up of light surface dirt/grime. The case appears complete and intact with gilding exhibition only light wear/discolouration to high spots; all glasses appear free from visible damage with the exception of the left hand side panel which has slight chipping to one corner.There is no winding key present with the current lot. Condition Report Disclaimer
