A French gilt brass mantel clock garniture in the Chinese taste with fine multi-coloured relief cast panelsAchille Brocot, Paris, circa 1880The circular two train eight-day gong striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum incorporating Brocot type regulation to suspension, the backplate stamped with oval star-centred trademark AB over serial number 6002 14, the dial with raised relief cast centre decorated in burnished gilt, copper and grey/brown patination with Chinese scholars within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised star half hour markers and unusual asymmetric trellis pierced gilt hands within circular gilt bezel, the frosted gilt case with large grey/brown patinated and silver highlighted canopy-shaped finial to the stepped caddy pagoda superstructure applied with further disc and spire finials to angles, the front finely relief decorated in gilt, copper, silver and grey/brown patina with scene of courtiers within a trellis garden beneath the dial and with further figural infill to upper quadrants, flanked by stylised grotesque mask centred strip pilasters decorated with silvered strapwork, the sides inset with further panels of figures at leisure within conforming garden settings, on skirt base with generous cavetto top moulding over pad feet with shaped apron between, 39cm (15.25ins) high; the garniture side pieces each modelled as a slender ovoid twin-handled vase with pierced flared rim over applied shaped figural panel matching those of the clock to front and on conforming square platform base, 27.5cm (10.75ins) high. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. 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 incorporating comparable decoration to all parts of the case also included in the present sale (lot XX). Another is also 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 in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements with the exception of the hammer for the gong; the mechanism is very dirty hence a clean and overhaul is required. The chapter ring of the dial is a little rubbed with some light patchy oxidation. The case is generally in good original unrestored condition with only very light wear to the original finishes however there is overall light/moderate discolouration and tarnishing predominantly to the gilding. The rear panel is missing two of its four securing screws. The urn side pieces are in sound original condition (commensurate with the case) with faults limited to one or two very slight dents.Clock is complete with pendulum and winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine gilt giant grande-sonnerie striking and repeating triple-calendar carriage clock with alarmJ.C. Ravoux, Paris, dated 1856The eight-day two train movement with plates measuring 5.75 by 4.125 inches, five and six-spoke wheel crossings to going and strike trains, platform lever escapement stamped RAVOUX twice to the backing plate and jewelled pivots for the contrate and fourth wheels of the going train, the strike train ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of bells positioned within the base of the case via vertically pivoted blued steel hammer arbors before sounding the hour again at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, the backplate with visible alarm motionwork and central large circular white enamel REVEIL setting dial annotated with twenty-four hour dial 1-12 twice labelled MIDI, MATIN, MINUIT and SOIR and with further vertically pivoted hammer for sounding on the larger of the two bells in the base, the upper left with SILENCE/SONNERIE pivoted strike selection switch, the centre with knurled hand-setting knob over signature FAIT PAR J.C. RAVOUX, and with QUARTIEMME and JOURS calendar setting functions to lower edge beneath, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial signed RAVOUX to centre and with pierced blued steel hands over triple subsidiary day-of-the-week, date-of-the-month and month-of-the-year dials annotated in French and with blued steel arrow pointers to lower margin beneath, the rear of the dial signed Valat, the early-type gilt multi-piece bevel-glazed case with hinged faceted carrying handle over top glass with rounded corners and cavetto cornice incorporating inset rounded angles over caddy moulded uprights, the rear with pin-hinged glazed door, on skirt base with conforming inset rounded angles and pierced sound fret to underside, 20cm (8ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. J.C. Ravoux, the maker of this fine carriage clock is apparently unrecorded, however the signature Valat to the rear of the dial is almost certainly that of Etienne Valat who worked from Rue Montmorency 7, near the shop of Henri Jacot, for whom he also made dials.The current lot is particularly noteworthy for the quality of its construction in particular the provision of five and six spoke wheel crossings and jewelled pivots to the upper of part of the going train. The alarm mechanism is also very well thought-out with the setting dial allowing for sounding once during the twenty-four hour period rather than the usual once every twelve hours. Although the case is of relatively simple design it is again finely made with tight crisp mouldings as well as being very well proportioned, which again adds to the clocks overall restrained but high quality feel.Condition Report: The movement is running and striking/quarter striking however the hour notation is two-hours out (ie. sounds once at 3 and twice at 4 etc.) and is a little lazy/slow and sometimes misses with the longer hours hence requires some fine adjustment. Otherwise movement appears to be complete and in good original condition with no obvious alterations (although there are two plugged holes in the backlate which seem to date from the time of making hence not indicative of later alteration). The calendar-work appears to be complete and in working order as is the alarm however the alarm setting square (to the centre of the alarm dial) is currently obscured by the boss which carries the hand which appears to be too tight to be able to be pushed home over the square.The dial has very slight restoration to the upper left corner and some light wear around the centre hole (both visible only on very close examination) otherwise appears free from visible faults. The rear door glass has a chip to the upper corner and some very light fritting to the lower edge otherwise glasses appear free from visible damage. The case has been re-gilded and is generally in good condition with noticeable faults limited to a slight scratch to the top near the front right hand corner and another deeper vertical scratch to the rear skirt.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French gilt fretwork panel inset grande-sonnerie striking and repeating alarm carriage clock Retailed by Hunt and Roskell, London, 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 and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the backplate with engraved retailer's signature HUNT & ROSKELL, 156 New Bond Street, London to upper edge and stamped with serial number 7348 to the lower left hand corner, the dial with circular white enamel Roman numeral centre decorated with gilt star motif, with grey-shaded chapter and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with blued steel hands set within a fine bright-cut engraved and pierced foliate scrollwork rectangular mask incorporating conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt brass bevel-glazed anglaise riche case with reeded baton to the hinged carrying handle over thick top glass enclosing pierced and engraved gilt oval insert framing the escapement, complex moulded cornice and fluted frieze, the angles with fluted three-quarter columns with Corinthian capitals and the sides with fine foliate pierced and engraved frets incorporating oval line delineated panel within the decoration set behind bevelled glasses, the rear with further conforming fretwork to the back door, on generous cavetto moulded skirt base incorporating shallow block feet, the underside with Hours and Quarters/Silent/Quarters selection switch, 17cm (6.75ins) high excluding handle. The firm of Hunt and Roskell can trace its roots back to the celebrated silversmith Paul Storr who was joined in partnership by John Mortimer in 1822. The business traded from 13 New Bond Street and specialised in the retail of silverwares, jewellery, watches and clocks. In 1839 Storr and Mortimer relocated 156 New Bond Street with Paul Storr retiring very shortly afterwards. The firm continued under the management of John Mortimer and Samuel John Hunt (who joined the business in 1826) trading under the name Mortimer and Hunt; which was then in-turn subsequently succeeded by the partnership of Hunt and Roskell (with Robert Roskell probably joining the business around the time of John Mortimer's retirement in 1843). Hunt and Roskell exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition with their wares including a selection of small engraved gilt timepieces by Thomas Cole whose work they were known to have retailed. Hunt and Roskell continued as one of the leading retail jewellers and silversmiths throughout the Victorian era becoming a Limited Company in 1898. They relocated to 25 Old Bond Street in 1912 from where they traded until being bought-out by J.W. Benson in 1965. The current lot can be closely compared to an petite-sonnerie striking example sold in these rooms on Wednesday 24th March 2020 (lot 98). This other example was signed by Le Roy and Fils, Paris and their similarity is such that it would be reasonable to suggest that the present clock was supplied to Hunt and Roskell by LeRoy who, at this time, were working from 13 and 15 Palais Royal, Paris. The fine quality pierced and engraved gilt brass panels of the current lot coupled with the robust anglaise riche design result in clock very much geared to the English taste with its overall feel and quality reminiscent of examples originating from the Leading London workshops.Condition Report: Movement appears to be in original condition with no obvious signs of alteration or significant replacements. The going train is running and the strike train will provide correct hours and quarter notation when the repeat button is pressed however it is not being tripped/set-off by the going train during normal operation. The alarm spring barrel will wind but is also not being set-off by the movement hence it is likely that the under dial work requires adjustment. The movement otherwise is generally a little tarnished/discoloured hence would benefit from a gentle clean/service. The enamel hour disc appears free from visible damage or repair, the alarm disc has a series of hairline cracks. The rear door glass is missing although however the fretwork panel (which was set behind the glass) is present and undamaged; all other glasses are present and appear undamaged. The gilding to the frets is generally in fine condition, the rest of the case however has noticeable rubbing and discolouration throughout. The strike selection lever to the base is present and will move however it is not known whether it will select the functions as the movement will not activate the strike train during normal operation. There are also two vacant screw holes in the base.Generally a good original honest clock which hopefully will not require extensive work to bring back to fine condition. Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A rare gilt brass carriage clock with push-button repeat, alarm and musical movement to baseUnsigned, late 19th centuryThe eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and sounding the alarm on the same gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 1525 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular engine-milled and stylised foliate scroll gilt engraved silvered dial with recessed circular Roman numeral centre incorporating gilt rosette and shield cartouche numeral decoration and with blued steel hands over conforming alarm disk to lower margin, the bevel-glazed gilt brass anglaise riche case with hinged reeded baton carrying handle over fluted cornice, Corinthian three-quarter corner columns, on architectural plinth base with complex upper mouldings and skirt enclosing a musical mechanism playing a Viennese waltz via a 1.5 inch pinned cylinder and tuned steel comb on demand only by pulling a plunger next to the winding key to the left hand side, on four turned toupe feet, 18.5cm (7.25ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The provision of a musical movement in the base of the current clock is a very rare detail.Condition Report: The movement is running with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements; the strike train will operate but only by depressing the repeat button hence the under-dial release mechanism requires adjustment (looking in form the side the respective lever etc. appears to be present). The movement is generally somewhat dirty/oily hence a gentle clean/service is required. The musical movement in the base is intact and working with no visible damage to the combs or pins; the sound is also good. The dial has rubbing/wear to the Roman numerals and slight tarnishing to the hour disc otherwise in in fine condition. The front glass has some shallow internal chipping to both upper corners (visible on close examination) otherwise glasses are free from visible damage. The gilding to the case is in fine condition with no visible wear or discolouration and the surfaces are free from any scuffs/blemishes worth noting although a couple of very tiny bumps can be found to the extremities of the mouldings. The base plate is missing two securing screws however these are superfluous as the panel is held secure by the feet.There is no key present for the movement however there is one for the musical mechanism. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French gilt brass carriage clock with painted porcelain panels and push-button repeatRetailed by D.C. Rait and Sons, Paris, circa 1870The eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and stamped with serial number 771 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular satin silvered dial with recessed circular Roman numeral centre and blued steel spade hands over retail signature D.

Rait and Sons operated from 34 Buchanan Street Glasgow from the 1820's until well into the twentieth century. In 1869, the firm was listed as 'Goldsmiths to the Queen, Jewellers, Watchmakers and Silversmiths'.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and original with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The strike train is working however the going train is currently not running due to the balance staff of the escapement being broken; the platform is also heavily tarnished but the mainspring is sound. The dial has some very slight concentric rubbing to the silvering (most likely from the hour hand at some point in the past) and a light scratch to the mask next to the IIII numeral otherwise the panel is in good condition with overall slight patchy discolouration. Both side panels are in fine condition with minimal wear although the right hand side has a very small scuff to the gilt background just above the female figure's head. The front glass appears free from visible damage and the gilding is in fine condition with only one or two spots of discolouration.The travelling case is missing its strap handle and has overall light rubbing and wear, clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French gilt brass carriage clock with painted porcelain panels and push-button repeatRetailed by Edward and Sons, Paris, London and Glasgow, circa 1880The eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and stamped with serial number 531 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular porcelain dial inscribed EDWARD & SONS, PARIS, LONDON & GLASGOW within Roman numeral hour numerals and with blued steel spade hands within gilt ground painted scene of a winter landscape incorporating robin perched within a snow covered tree to right hand margin, the bevel-glazed satin gilt brass case a variant on anglaise riche design with hinged reeded baton carrying handle over fluted cornice, plain three-quarter corner columns and side panels finely painted with full length portraits of Renaissance females dressed in ornate robes emblematic of summer and winter within garden landscape with unusual gilt infill to sky, the rear with gilt pin-hinged door, on architectural plinth base with complex upper mouldings and skirt, 18cm (7ins) high excluding handle; with original morocco leather covered protective outer case. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands.  George Edward and Sons were retailers of silver, jewellery and other luxury items (as well as being watch and clockmakers) founded in Glasgow by George Edward in 1838. In around 1874 they opened a branch at Mansion House Buildings, 19 Poultry, Cheapside, London and became a Limited Company in 1925. In 1963 Edward and Sons Limited were still trading from St. Vincent Street, Glasgow but were subsequently absorbed into the Mappin and Webb empire.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and original with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The strike train is working however the going train is currently not running most likely due to being 'gummed-up' as mechanism is a little dirty/discoloured. The escapement appears undamaged (although the platform is heavily tarnished) and the mainspring is sound. The dial has some slight concentric rubbing to the gilding (most likely from the hour hand at some point in the past) and a scratch between the VIII and X numerals otherwise the panel is in good condition with only very light wear and discolouration. Both side panels are in fine condition with minimal wear; although the right hand side figure appears to have a very slight firing fault to the glaze towards the hem of the green skirt. The glasses appear free from visible damage and the gilding is in fine condition with minimal edge wear.The travelling case is missing it's dial shutter panel and has overall light rubbing and wear, clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French engraved gilt brass oval repeating alarm carriage clock with painted porcelain panels Probably by Jules Brunelot, Paris, circa 1870The eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and sounding the alarm on the same gong, the backplate stamped with trademark B within a circle to lower left hand corner, the rectangular porcelain dial with Roman numeral hour numerals and gilt brass spade hands within a painted scene of a female in 18th century dress seated in a woodland landscape with cherub in flight above and incorporating white Arabic alarm setting dial to lower margin, the substantial engraved satin gilt oval case with hinged arched carrying handle over leafy scroll border engraved top and conforming foliate trail decorated upper mouldings, the front with thick curved bevel glass panel set into a foliate border-engraved frame and the sides inset with curved porcelain panels painted with scenes of 18th century courting couples within conforming frame surrounds, the rear with curved bevel-glazed pin-hinged door, on ogee profile skirt base adorned with a band of repeating leafy scrolls, 14cm (5.5ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands.  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 fully operational (including the alarm and repeat functions) and is free from any visible alteration or significant replacements however is in relatively dirty/neglected condition so will require a gentle clean/service before putting into long term use. The dial appears to be in fine condition with no visible damage/defects. The porcelain side panels also appear free from damage or visible restoration and have almost no discernible wear (only very light rubbing to upper margins of each visible on very close examination).

A rare French carriage clock inset with fine Florentine pietra-dura panelsRetailed by H. Bozi, Florence, circa 1880The eight-day bell striking movement with silvered platform cylinder escapement and stamped with serial number 531 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular black marble dial panel signed H. Bozi, Firenze to centre with gilt Roman hour numerals and spade hands within surround finely inlaid in various hardstones with delicate floral sprays, the bevel-glazed corniche case with hinged carrying handle and oval top glass over cavetto cornice and caddy moulded uprights, the sides and rear door with further Pietra-dura panels depicting floral still lifes including roses and fuchsia blooms, on moulded skirt base, 13.5 (5.75ins) high excluding handle. The current clock would appear to belong to a small series of carriage clocks incorporating fine foliate decorated pietra-dura panels which appear to have been made in the same workshop. Others in the series include a slightly smaller clock with alarm and push button repeat which was sold at Christies, King Street, London Important clocks and marine chronometers 20th February 2008 (lot 11) for £3000; a very similar example to the present clock pictured in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS pages 156 (Figure 9-33 a-d); and an example by Drocourt illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development, (this time housed in an anglaise riche case) on page 180 (Plates VII/C13-14). It is perhaps interesting to note that the Christies example is also signed for H. Bozi of Florence which would strongly support the idea that the panels for this series were made in Florence by one workshop to decorate clocks supplied by Parisian makers mainly for retail in Florence to wealthy visitors continuing in the tradition of the 'Grand Tour'. Condition Report: Movement is fairly clean and in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial appears free from visible damage and the numerals/signature have minimal wear. The left hand panel has a cracked section to the upper left hand corner, another very small to the opposite corner and a very light vertical hairline to the centre of the lower edge. The right hand panel has a smaller cracked section also to the upper left; both side panels also have some very light edge wear. The rear panel has a very light horizontal hairline to the right hand margin. All the delicate inlaid hardstone decoration is undisturbed. The case has traces of earlier silvering and currently has streaking/tarnishing due to the brass finish otherwise appears to be free form noticeable faults.There is a leather protective case present which fits the clock well but is not original to the clock. The case has overall wear to the surface and is lacking its strap and integral repeat button pad (not required as the current clock does not have a repeat button).There is no winding key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine multi-colour grande-sonnerie striking and repeating moonphase calendar alarm carriage clock Unsigned, circa 1880The eight-day two train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and then sounding the hour every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with silvered platform lever escapement, alarm sounding on the smaller gong and stamped with serial number 1532 to the lower left hand corner of the backplate, the dial with inset Roman numeral enamel hour disc centred with a rolling moonphase aperture within painted starry sky and billowing clouds, set into a rectangular panel sculpted in relief with bird and butterfly inhabited floral trails picked-out in gilt, silver and copper on a grey patinated ground and incorporating conforming enamel subsidiary alarm setting dial flanked by day-of-of-the-week and date-of-the-month dials to lower margin, the bevel-glazed frosted gilt brass case with every surface decorated with bands and panels of bird inhabited floral sprays picked-out in gilt, silver and copper on a grey patinated ground, including the frame of the baton centred hinged carrying handle, top glass surround and quarter round upper edges, over dentil frieze incorporating projecting angles for the Corinthian column corner uprights with further multicolour decoration to shafts, the rear with door decorated panel of a bird perched within flowering shrubbery and on skirt base incorporating fluted band to upper margin over further bird and flower engraved decoration and disc feet, the underside with three-position strike selection lever labelled G'de Campanco/P'te Campanco/Silencio, 17cm (6.75ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The highly decorative bands and panels decorating every surface 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. A closely related case incorporating comparable decoration to all parts illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 160 (Figure 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'. This coupled with the high number of complications in the movement and dial would certainly place the current clock as one of the finest available at the time. The dial has a very faint retail signature which is now regrettably too faded to read although the word MEXICO can be made out. In addition to this the various functions of the clock are labelled in Spanish which would seem to confirm that present clock would have been supplied to a high-end retailer based in Mexico City.Condition Report: Movement appears complete, original and is generally in working condition although a clean and overhaul is advised. The strike function (hours and quarters) are fully operational however the quarters are currently out of phase with the minute hand (strikes for the half hour at the quarter hour etc.). The strike function lever to the base of the case silences the various functions as it should. The alarm will wind but is currently not being tripped (a click can be heard but the hammer still appears to be locked) hence will require adjustment. The moonphase and calendar functions appear to be working correctly.The main dial has a very slight hairline between the II and III numerals (only visible on very close examination) and rubbing to the retailer's signature. The alarm dial has a series of hairline cracks through the centre; the two calendar dials appear free from visible faults. The multi-coloured finished to the dial mast are in very fine condition as are the conforming finishes to the exterior of the case. The top glass has some chipping to its right hand edge otherwise glasses appear free from faults except for some light surface scratching to the left hand side.Clock has a winding key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French gilt carriage clock with multi-colour relief cast panels and push-button repeat Unsigned, Paris, circa 1880The eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and sounding the alarm on the same gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 2019 to lower left, the dial with circular cream enamel centre incorporating segmented radial Roman numerals, Arabic five minutes to outer track and fine scroll pierced and engraved gilt brass hands, inset into a rectangular panel sculpted in relief in the Renaissance style with gilt foliate sprays overlaid onto copper strapwork and an oxidised silver ground incorporating a pair of parcel silvered Heraldic lions flanking the enamel alarm setting dial to lower margin, the pillars variant case with acanthus cast ringed baluster centred hinged carrying handle over thick top glass and complex mouldings projecting at the angles, with slender free standing fluted corner columns incorporating silver highlighted acanthus motifs to the shafts and lobed capitals, the sides inset with a fine pair of panels decorated in relief with Renaissance martial trophies each centred with a silvered close helmet, on conforming complex two tier moulded base incorporating pad feet, 17cm (6.75ins) high. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The highly decorative panels of the current lot employ a series of differing techniques to gild, silver, copper and chemically patinate the finely finished relief cast panels to bring the scenes alive. A small selection of examples employing this highly effective, rare and time consuming form of decoration are illustrated in in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on pages 160-61 (Figures 9.37-39).Condition Report: Movement appars to be in original condition with no obvious signs of alteration or significant replacements. The going train is running however the mainspring of the strike train is broken hence clock is currently not striking. The strike train however will 'turn' suggesting that the wheelwork itself is undamaged. The alarm is operational. The movement generally is a little tarnished/discoloured hence would benefit from a gentle clean/service. The enamel chapter disc appears free from noticeable damage or restoration, the alarm disc has very light blemishes to the centre which are only visible on very close examination; these could be light scratches or just dirt.The gilding/patinated finishes to the dial mask and case are in exceptional condition with no discernible wear or discolouration. The front glass has a tiny corner chip to the lower left (only noticeable on close examination); the rear door glass has a larger chip to the upper right hand corner otherwise glasses appear free from damage.Clock does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French gilt brass carriage clock with multi-colour relief cast panels and push-button repeat Unsigned, Paris, circa 1880The eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and stamped with trademark G.B within a rectangle to the gong block and serial number 951 0 to lower left, the dial with circular white enamel centre with blued steel moon hands inset into a rectangular panel sculpted in relief and coloured in oxidised silver, copper and gilt with a Renaissance style Classical martial trophy, the frosted gilt brass anglaise case with baton centred geometric outline hinged handle over thick bevelled top glass, complex upper mouldings and fluted frieze, the angles with channelled uprights, the sides inset with figural scenes in copper, silver, grey and gilt of a 16th century male warrior wearing armour opposing robed female figure each standing within a landscape before a fortified town, the rear with similar scene of a hawkman to the pin-hinged door, 17cm (6.75ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands.Condition Report: Movement is in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements however the movement is dirty/oily so a gentle clean/service is advised. The dial appears free from visible damage. The panels are in fine condition with strong/bright colouring and no visible wear/discolouration. The front glass has chipping to all four corners (visible on closer examination) otherwise case is in fine condition with no visible wear or any notable blemishes to the gilding.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine small early Victorian engraved gilt brass small calendar carriage timepiece with twin thermometers and compassSigned for Storr and Mortimer, London, circa 1835-38The four columnar pillar eight-day single chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power and underslung English lever platform escapement regulated by three-arm monometallic balance incorporating cabochon endstone, the backplate with winding and setting squares labelled For the hands and To set day of month respectively and signed Storr & Mortimer, London to centre, the 1.625 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with fine foliate scroll engraved centre and blued steel moon hands set within a rectangular rococo scroll engraved gilt mask incorporating subsidiary silvered day-of-the week and date-of-the-month dials to lower margin behind a bevelled glass panel, the case with hinged foliate scroll and baton cast carrying handle over shallow raised rococo scroll engraved shaped top panel centred with a silvered compass engraved with the cardinal points and divided into sixteenths set beneath a bevelled glass, the angles with lobed button finials over plain frieze with twin crossover projections at each corner, the front with foliate scroll engraved surround to the glazed aperture flanked by projecting fluted columns, the sides with mercury tube thermometers with silvered scales annotated for FAHRENHEIT to the left and REAUMUR to the right set behind bevelled glasses within scroll engraved surrounds flanked by additional pairs of fluted columns, the rear with hinged rectangular door, on plain skirt base matching the frieze and generous stepped block feet 11.5cm (4.5ins) high excluding handle. The firm of Storr and Mortimer can trace its roots back to the celebrated silversmith Paul Storr who was joined in partnership by John Mortimer in 1822. The business traded from 13 New Bond Street and specialised in the retail of silverwares, jewellery, watches and clocks. In 1839 Storr and Mortimer relocated 156 New Bond Street with Paul Storr retiring very shortly afterwards. The firm continued under the management of John Mortimer and Samuel John Hunt (who joined the business in 1826) trading under the name Mortimer and Hunt; which was then in-turn subsequently succeeded by the partnership of Hunt and Roskell (with Robert Roskell probably joining the business around the time of John Mortimer's retirement in 1843). Hunt and Roskell exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition with their wares including a selection of small engraved gilt timepieces by Thomas Cole whose work they were known to have retailed. Hunt and Roskell continued as one of the leading retail jewellers and silversmiths throughout the Victorian era becoming a Limited Company in 1898. They relocated to 25 Old Bond Street in 1912 from where they traded until being bought-out by J.W. Benson in 1965. The strong architectural form of the current lot coupled with the lavish use of fine engraved decoration is typical of the best quality clocks made during the High Victorian period. Although small clock executed in this style were made particularly popular by Thomas Cole many of the other leading horological workshops such as Dent, Frodsham and McCabe produced small highly decorative timepieces from around 1830. The present timepiece benefits from having a well specified high quality movement incorporating a chain fusee with Harrison's maintaining power which would suggest that it was made in one of the leading workshops on behalf of Storr and Mortimer. Similar examples are illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS with the first on page 278 (Fig. 18-15) being of closely related case design but lacking the compass and thermometers; and the second being of broadly similar but plainer design but also signed for Storr and Mortimer is illustrated on page 346 (Fig. 24-1).  Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean condition with no visible alterations or replacements. The mechanism will run but only for around 3-4 seconds before stopping which suggests that the movement is in sound condition but requires a gentle clean/service. The calendar work is intact and appears to be in working order however we are unable to fully test it as do not have a key small enough for the setting square. The dial is in good condition, the calendar subsidiaries have very slight discolouration (when compared with the principal dial). The case is in good original condition with relatively minor gilt wear to edges. The right hand front foot has rubbing to the side and the base is lacking two of the eight nuts that hold the case together and two others are modern replacements. The silvered scales to both of the thermometers are heavily discoloured but are undamaged; the compass is also discoloured but to a lesser extent. The gilding to the back door is a little rubbed and the upper pin hinge has had a new pin. Faults to the timepiece are otherwise limited to very minor age related blemishes and the glasses appear free from visible damage.Timepiece does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
