According to Mercer (Mercer, Vaudrey EDWARD JOHN DENT AND HIS SUCCESSORS page 178) carriage clocks signed Dent, London can be included within the series signed E.J. Dent.. hence the current lot would have probably been made shortly prior to Edward John Dent’s death in 1853. Edward John Dent was a talented horologist who at the age of 17 transferred his apprenticeship from the trade of tallow chandler to watchmaking under the charge of Edward Gaudin in 1807. By 1814 he was becoming well known as a watch and clockmaker receiving commissions from the Admiralty for a ‘Standard Astronomical Clock’ and pocket chronometers for the Colonial Office Africa Expedition. In 1830 Dent went into partnership with the renowned watch and chronometer maker John Roger Arnold which continued until 1840 when he left and set up business alone as E.J. Dent at 82 Strand, London, primarily making marine chronometers, watches and precision clocks. In 1852 Edward Dent successfully tendered to make the Great Clock to be housed in St. Stephens Tower at the New Palace of Westminster. The clock was completed in 1859, apparently at a financial loss to the firm, however it ensured that the Dent name became a household name synonymous with fine clockmaking. After his death in 1853 the firm was continued by his successors and was still trading well into the latter half of the 20th century.
