A Victorian turret clock and bell by Gillett & Johnston, Croydon, dated 1895, the twin-barrel movement, signed to the frame 'Gillett & Co.', and to the silvered setting dial, 'Gillett & Johnston, Croydon',54.5cm wide 34cm deep45cm highsetting dial 8.5cm diameter,with a patinated copper dial,with Roman numerals, with raised shamrocks to the spandrels, 76.5cm square,with nine cast iron weights, 18 to 20cm diameter,an ash pendulum, with a weight,125.5cm long,a cast bell, numbered '1503' and 'Gillett & Johnston, Croydon, 1895',top bar 68cm wide 38.5cm diameter34cm high,a crank handle, four pulleys, a wood cradle and a cast iron wheel, cast '1ft 9in RG', anda collection of rods (qty.)Provenance: Elveden Hall Stables.The original inventory from Gillett & Johnston, dated 7 May 1898, shows that William Young - the architect Lord Iveagh had commissioned to make alterations at Elveden Hall and stables - placed the order which reads: 'Lord Iveagh Elveden Stables Elveden Hall Thetford '8637' / No 1 striking 3 Bell & Hangings / Two 3'6" sq copper black and gold with cast brass shamrock in each corner / Carriage / Fixing / Must go check with once winding / Not carpenters work or scaffold / Net 130 / July 19 / 4 1/4 Bell - Extra 7.10 / Extra Weight for larger bell 2.10'.The firm of Gillett & Johnston can trace its roots back to the clockmaker William Gillett who moved from Hadlow, Kent, to Clerkenwell in 1837. In 1844 he relocated again, this time to Union Road, Thornton Heath, Croydon. Charles Bland became a partner in 1854 and the company subsequently traded as Gillett & Bland. In 1877, Arthur A Johnston (c.1851-1916) bought a partnership, and shortly afterward, extended the company's output by establishing a bell foundry. The business became known as Gillett, Bland & Co. until Bland's death in c.1884 when the name was changed to Gillett & Co. The name Gillett & Johnston seems to have been used from around 1887. Arthur Johnston's son, Cyril Frederick Johnston (1884-1950), joined the company in 1902, became a partner in 1907, and took over the firm following his father's death in 1916. He developed an interest in the theory of bell tuning, and greatly expanded the bell founding side of the business. During the First World War, the factory suspended its regular business and became involved in the manufacture of munitions, employing over 1,250 men and women. The firm became a limited liability company in 1925, initially trading as the Croydon Bell Foundry Ltd. (although the name 'Gillett & Johnston' still appeared on bells). It reverted to the name Gillett & Johnston Ltd. in 1930. After going into receivership in 1957, the company was subsequently reborn and still trades today as clockmakers specialising in the maintenance and restoration of turret clocks.Condition ReportWorn, all pieces with wear and no hands for the clock. In need of restoration.

A FRENCH GILT BRASS CANNELEE CASED REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH ALARMRETAILED BY BOXELL OF BRIGHTON, CIRCA 1875The eight-day two-train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance and alarm mechanism sounding on the hour gong, the inside of the frontplate stamped 14125 and 22-9 and the rear stamped again 22-9 to the lower left hand corner, the rectangular white Roman numeral dial inscribed BOXELL to centre and with blued steel moon hands over Arabic subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the frosted gilt brass cannelee case with hinged carrying handle over oval top glass, trip-repeat button to front rail and channel-moulded uprights, on ogee-outline base.13.25 (5.5ins) high with handle down, 9cm (3.5ins) wide, 8cm (3.125ins) deep. Thomas Boxell is recorded in Looms, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Brighton 1855-78.  The escapement platform of the current lot can be closely compared to one fitted to a grande sonnerie clock by Henri Jacot (number 825) illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKs, Their history and development on page 114 (Plate V/14). Furthermore the 'Hands' setting text and arrow stamp to the backplate of the present clock has strong similarities to those seen on clocks by Jacot as sketched on page 442. It is therefore possible that the present clock was supplied by Jacot for retail by Thomas Boxell.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 working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is in fine condition with blemishes limited to a couple of sight scratches and minor edge chipping to the enamel which is not visible except on very close examination from an abnormal angle. The case is in very good condition albeit with minimal rubbing to the gilt finish. The front glass has a small chip to upper left hand corner (again only visible on close examination) otherwise there are no visible chips to the glasses.Clock does not have a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

The enamel dial disc has some slight shallow edge chipping between the X and XI numerals otherwise is in fine condition with nice quality hands. The case is in fine condition with faults limited to some slight vice bruising/witness marks to the carrying handle; the gilding presents as being in near pristine condition.Clock does not have a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT BRASS REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PARCEL SILVERED ENGRAVED PANELSPROBABLY BY JULES BRUNELOT, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURYThe two train eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by split bimetallic balance and the lower left hand corner of the backplate stamped with trademark of B within a circle, The rectangular dial panel with fine silver-highlighted floral engraved decoration on a gilt matted ground to centre within gilt Roman numeral chapter ring, with gilt and blued steel spade hands and fine conforming silver highlighted floral bloom infill to the upper and lower margins, the bevel glazed case with geometric outline hinged carrying handle over horizontal rectangular glass and repeat button towards the leading edge of the top, above cavetto cornice and square section corner uprights, the sides inset with further silver highlighted floral spray engraved gilt matted panels set behind bevelled glasses, the rear with hinged glazed door, on cavetto moulded skirt base incorporating integral shallow squab feet.16.5cm (6.5ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.25cm (3.125 ins) 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 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 Roman numerals to the chapter ring have been retouched and show signed of rubbing/wear; the dial panel itself exhibits slight oxidation otherwise is in fine condition. The case is in good original condition however most of the gilding has been rubbed-off (probably through successive years of polishing). Both side glasses have very slight corner/edge chips (only visible on close examination) otherwise glasses are free from visible damage.Clock has a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT GORGE CASED MID-SIZED PETIT SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCKUNSIGNED BUT WITH SIMILARITIES TO THE WORK OF HENRI JACOT, THE PLATFORM STAMPED F.R., PARIS, CIRCA 1860The eight-day two train movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, ting-tang sounding the quarters on a graduated pair of bells and sounding the hour on the larger of the two, the rear underside edge of the platform stamped FR, the inside of the frontplate stamped 3696 over 10449 and the backplate with repeat number 3696 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blues steel moon hands, the frosted gilt brass gorge case with hinged carrying handle over oval top glass, trip-repeat button to front rail and channel-moulded uprights, the ogee-outline base with two-position selection lever annotated STRIKING/SILENT to underside.12.5cm (5ins) high with handle down, 8.25cm (3.25ins) wide, 7.5cm (3ins) deep. The escapement platform of the current lot can be closely compared to one fitted to a grande sonnerie clock by Henri Jacot (number 825) illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKs, Their history and development on page 114 (Plate V/14).    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. The case is in very good condition albeit with very slight rubbing and mellowing to the gilt finish. There are no visible chips to the glasses.Clock does not have a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

AN UNUSUAL ENGLISH GILT BRASS SMALL MOONPHASE CALENDAR CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH TANDEM-DRIVE BARRELUNSIGNED, MID 19th CENTURYThe eight-day four pillar two train bell striking movement with single spring barrel incorporating opposing tandem greatwheels for driving both trains, the going train with offset underslung platform lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, the fine gilt twin bird inhabited foliate scroll engraved rectangular dial with rolling moonphase aperture to centre, incorporating silvered 'button moon' to the revolving matted lunar disc annotated for the age-of-the-moon to upper margin and with rosette engraved lunettes to infill beneath, within Roman numeral chapter ring and with blued steel spade hands over twin subsidiary day-of-the-week and date-of-the-month dials within fine engraved leafy infill, the case with hinged foliate cast faceted baton carrying handle over inset concave-sided rectangular platform to top and convex cornice mouldings flanked by projecting rounded ogee mouldings forming the caps for the quatrefoil three-quarter column corner uprights, the front and rear with bevel glazed doors and the sides with plain panels, on stepped canted base interrupted by blocks supporting the uprights at the angles over disc feet.12.5cm (5ins) high with handle down, 9cm (3.5ins) wide, 7cm (2.75ins) deep. The provision of a 'tandem barrel' to drive both the going and strike trains is very unusual and has its roots in 17th century Dutch practice with many 'Haagse' clocks employing this system (see Van Den Ende; Van Kersen-Halbertsma; Taylor, Dr. John C. and Taylor Neil HUYGENS' LEGACY, THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE PENDULUM CLOCK pages 176-177, for an example by Johannes van Ceulen). The natural advantage of this system is to save space which would naturally lend itself to provision within carriage clock work. However is rarely seen with Charles Allix noting that it occurs in some carriage clocks made in the French Dura and also in Austria (see Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development page 416).The form of the case of the present clock follows those made popular by makers such as Arnold and Dent during the 1840's; a case sharing the same handle casting, and stamped for the casemaker L. Lange, is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling Clocks on page 348 (Figure 24-5). Condition Report: Clock appears complete and in original condition however it is not currently running or striking. The movement does appear essentially 'untouched' and is fully wound hence is most likely gummed-up with dried oil. The hands are 'catching' when advanced indicating that there is an issue with the under-dial work - most likely the strike release. The dial is in good original condition with visible faults limited to some rubbing and wear to the black numerals. We cannot ascertain whether the calendar functions are operational due to the hands 'catching'. The case appears free from visible damage or noticeable replacements and has deep gilt finish exhibiting some patchy discolouration/oxidation, scratching and edge wear. There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE FRENCH GILT REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PANELS ATTRIBUTED TO LOUIS BILTON OF DOULTON PROBABLY BY GAY LAMAILLE AND COMPANY, PARIS, CIRCA 1890The eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance, the backplate with stamped with oval panel inscribed PATENT SURETY ROLLER to centre over 0 and serial number 449 to lower left-hand corner, the rectangular porcelain dial panel painted in polychrome and gilt with asymmetric dog rose blooms and incorporating a chapter ring with vertically aligned Arabic hour numerals and with blued steel spade hands, the case with reeded baton to the geometric outline hinged carrying handle over bevelled top glass and cavetto cornice lined with part bead-cast borders and conforming square section uprights, the sides inset with porcelain panels further painted with dog rose blooms onto a gilt blush ground, the rear with bevel-glazed door, on part bead-bordered cavetto moulded skirt base.16cm (6.25ins) high with handle down, 10cm (4ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep. Provenance:Previously sold at Bonhams, Knightsbridge DECORATIVE ARTS FROM 1860 INCLUDING THE HOLLYWOOD INTERIOR 1st April 2015 (lot 38) for £1,375. The firm of Gay, Lamaille and Company and their patent for the 'surety roller' is discussed by Thomas R. Wotruba in his article The story behind 'PATENT SURETY ROLLER' stamped on carriage clocks published in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY June 2019 (pages 239-47). Wotruba describes how the Patent Surety Roller (a mechanism which prevents the strike star wheel from accidentally jumping out-of-sync whilst the clock is being transported) was invented by Moritz Immisch for which he received a brevet in 1879. The patent was subsequently secured by Messrs Gay, Lamaille and Company of Paris and London. One of the firm's founders, Emile Gay(e), is recorded as working at 20 Red Lion Square, London in 1861 before going into partnership with a clockmaker named Vicarino and setting up operations at 5 rue Beranger, Paris. In around 1877-78 George Lamaille replaced Vicarino forming Gay, Lamaille and Company who through their strong connections with London supplied many of the leading English retailers such as Dent, Frodsham and Lund & Blockley during the latter years of the 19th century. Louis Bilton (c1860-1910) is noted by the Museum of Applied Arts and Science, New South Wales, Australia, as taking up employment as painter with Doulton & Co in Burslem (Staffordshire, England) in 1892. prior to this he travelled to Sydney in 1885-7 to make drawings of the native flora to illustrate 'The picturesque atlas of Australasia', a monumental three volume set published between 1886 and 1888 by John Sands.   Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is free from any visible defects. The case is in very good condition albeit with very slight edge wear and some slight scratching to the rear skirt. There are no visible chips to the glasses. The left-hand side panel has a small section loose towards the left-hand corner and a hairline crack across the panel through the upper two leaves of the decoration; the right hand panel is free from visible defects.Clock does not have a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer
