A late 19th century French gorge cased carriage clock with alarm and hour repeatFrançois-Arsène Margaine, Paris. Retailed by J. E. Caldwell and Co., Philadelphia, No. 11728Surmounted by a rippled handle above a large escapement observation window, the moulded cornice over bevelled glass panels supported by four grooved uprights, on a moulded base. The white enamel Roman dial signed for the retailer J. E. Caldwell & Co Philadelphia over Made in France, with blued steel moon hands, and subsidiary Arabic alarm dial. The triple spring barrel movement with silvered and jewelled English lever platform escapement and cut and compensated bimetallic balance, the lower edge of the backplate stamped 11728 with Margaine's beehive trademark. Ticking, striking and alarming. 19cms (7ins) highFootnotes:According to contemporary trade directories, Margaine was listed in 1869 as a clock maker, wheel cutter and mechanic. That same year, he received a patent for an alarm mechanism for miniature carriage clocks. A year later, in 1870, he was no longer mentioned as cutting wheels, and by 1873 he was being listed strictly as a clockmaker, registering his well known beehive trademark the following year.He was renowned for making high quality, high-end clocks, with unique handles, though catalogues from his workshop indicate that he produced a wide range of carriage clocks from a timepiece only clock through to grande sonnerie with month, day and moon dials. The choice of case was equally diverse from a standard Anglaise case through to a gorge or bambu case with either Limoges or Cloisonne panels. It seems that the majority of the movements would have been bought in rough form from eminent makers and companies (such as Japy freres), whereas the case and dial would be made in Margaine's workshop. In addition to the above-mentioned alarm patent, he also received two patents for carriage clock case ornamentation, including a method of decoration which involved solid-coloured sides overlaid with pierced panels. A further two patents were also gained; one for a carriage clock remontoir escapement and another for an 'improved' carriage clock striking mechanism. The lowest serial number found is 444 and the highest is 20879, suggesting a potential output over his career of more than 20,000 clocks.He died in 1915; there is some evidence that his business was taken over by Henri Doffe, a graduate of the Parisian horological school, l'Ecole de l'Horlogerie de Paris that Margaine helped to start in 1881. It remains unknown if Doffe wound up or continued the business, either under Margaine's name or his own.Wotruba, T.

A rare mid 18th century French ormolu quarter repeating timepiece, the case marked with the Crowned C poinçon of 1745-49Moisy a ParisThe elaborate rococo case surmounted by an eagle, a wing and talon raised as it competes with a dragon below, both animals with finely worked details to the wings, bodies and facial features, over a waisted case cast with sunflowers, pansies and foliage amid an array of C-scrolls and shellwork. The rear door stamped with the Crowned C mark.The white enamel 4.25 inch dial with black Arabic five-minute numerals encircling the minute band and large blue enamel Roman hours, with floating half hour marks, and pierced gilt hands. The tapering rectangular movement united by knopped pillars signed along the curved lower edge, with tic-tac escapement sounding the hours and quarters past the hour on the pull of a cord set to the side of the case. Sold together with an associated late 19th century (?) inlaid kingwood and brass-mounted plinth 40cms (15.75ins) high.Footnotes:Jean Moisy was active in Paris in the mid 18th century. He was known to supply watch movements to Lazare Duvaux, who at the time was jeweller to the king. The first reference to Moisy is in 1753, when he submitted his chef-d'oeuvre, though the exact nature of this piece is unknown. At the time, he was working on the Rue de l'Arbre-Sec, where he would remain until 1755. Two years after his masterpiece was accepted, he moved to the Quai Malaquais, staying there until 1766. After 1766 it is not clear where he moved, but in 1772 he is recorded working at Place des 4-Nations. He is last noted working here in 1781, after which all record of him ceases; this year is tentatively suggested as the year he died, though this is not confirmed. On at least one clock, he signed his name, followed by the title Horloger de la Duchesse du Maine, though how he came by the title, or when, is not known.Tardy (1971) Dictionnaire des Horlogers Français.

A late 19th century English gilt brass carriage timepieceJenner & Knewstub 33 St. James's St. & 66 Jermyn St.Surmounted by a facetted floral handle and knurled finials over a stepped cornice and reeded uprights between solid side panels and a signed hinged rear door with spring catch. The engraved silvered Roman dial with elaborate floral scroll surround and fine blued steel moon hands.The single chain fusee movement with four ringed pillars and large underslung, jewelled English lever escapement with three-arm monometallic balance. Ticking with a small, brass winding key. 13.5cms (5ins) highFootnotes:Frederick Jenner and Fabian Knewstub entered into partnership around 1856, working out of 33 St. James Street, London. They specialised in making dressing cases, though they also offered clocks, toilette cases, wallets, etc. Additionally, they offered a range of silver and gold smithing objects and services, including gem engraving. Fredrick Jenner was born around 1823 in Beddingham, Sussex. At some point he moved to Newington in Surrey, where he married Charlotte Theakston Chaffey in 1849, who was 8 years his junior. It is unknown how he was employed, as he is not listed in relevant trade directories. Based on later records, it is tentatively suggested he was a stationer. The couple had a child, Frederick, around 1851, followed less then two years later with another child, George, and then another, Robert, in 1855. By this point, it seems likely that the growing Jenner family had moved to London, as Jenner and Knewstub went into partnership in 1856.Fabian James Knewstub was born in Kent around 1825/26 to William and Susan Knewstub. He had seven siblings, including Elizabeth, who may have been his fraternal twin, based on birth date. Fabian and Elizabeth were the eldest of the siblings. It is unclear when Fabian moved to London; based on later records it appears he was a trained jeweller, though the nature and location of his apprenticeship remain unclear. He was certainly in London by 1856, when he entered into partnership with Frederick Jenner.Two years after the formation of the partnership, the pair began advertising a selection of bags for sale, as well as the ability to engrave monograms on the bags. That same year, Knewstub and his partner Susan Dines, six years his junior and originally from Essex, had their first child, Harry, followed in 1860 by Walter. Oddly, the 1861 census records Fabian living as a boarder with his younger brother Walter, in 15, Kensington Square, Kensington, Middlesex. There is no mention of Susan, Harry, or baby Walter. Why this should be the case remains unclear. At the International Exhibition of 1862, Jenner and Knewstub exhibited in several categories, receiving two medals for their leather craft and were noted as 'exhibitors of very superior work'. That year, Annie Jenner was born, followed the next year by Edward Jenner and Frank Knewstub. 1863 also saw the partnership expand to operate from both 33 St. James Street and nearby 66 Jermyn Street, suggesting they must have been doing well at this time. The following year, the partnership expanded again, to 69 Jermyn Street. Jenner also took a patent out that year, for an invention which provided 'Improvements in purses, cigar cases, bags and other similar receptacles'. Unfortunately, the exact nature of the device is unknown.In 1865, Jenner's youngest child, Frederica, was born. George Knewstub was born the following year. An interesting notice was taken out in 1866, advertising the fact that Jenner and Knewstub were selling off their entire stock, 'prior to enlarging their premises'. The advertisement details what stock they have: 'Dressing cases, Travelling bags, cutlery, despatch boxes, albums, photographs, envelope cases, jewellery, elegancies in mounted china, or-moulu, gold, silver, enamel, etc.'. The stock offered seems fairly evenly split between jewellery/metal work and stationary goods, tentatively suggested as representative of Knewstub's and Jenner's skills, respectively. However, the presumed revenue they accrued from this sale doesn't appear to have been spent on new premises; contrarily they appear to have downsized, occupying only 33 St. James Street and 66 Jermyn Street. They did, however, present a new, patented writing case (the Elgin Writing Case) and dispatch box (the ABC Dispatch Box) to the 1867 Paris Exposition, for which they received an award. Both the writing case and dispatch box were very warmly reviewed by the literary establishments of the day, including Punch and the Times. Shortly after, in 1869, Bessie Knewstub was born, followed less then two years later by the youngest Knewstub, Ethel. Around this time, a patented 'Jewel Case' was also added to the firm's celebrated products. The census of 1871 recorded Fabian and Susan Knewstub, and their six children, living in Peterborough Villas, Middlesex. Frederick, described as a stationer, and Charlotte Jenner, and their six children, were living in St. James Street, possibly above the shop, though this is not certain. By this point, Jenner and Knewstub were describing themselves as 'Dressing case and Travelling Bag makers' as well as 'Jewellers, Goldsmiths, Silversmiths, Designers, Heraldic and Gem engravers'. Not only did they employ 45 people between the two shops, they appear to have received royal patronage, advertising as makers to 'the Queen, the Royal Family and Principal Courts of Europe'. They also had a new form of keyless work, in their patented 'Eunomia watch' which boasted that their 'improved keyless action cannot be overwound', the watch also contained a 'perfectly safe mainspring' and was described by the Times as 'a perfect timekeeper'. Unfortunately, no further details can be found about the exact nature of the keyless works. The firm exhibited in the 1878 Paris Exposition, seemingly in quite a few sections, including clocks and watches. The British Horological Institute's correspondent at the expo was bracingly dismissive of the partnership, describing them as 'Jenner and Knewstub, the extensive advertisers of the 'Bag of Bags,' also exhibit clocks and watches, perhaps very good ones, too, though we did not trouble to examine them. The man who invents or improves can never be content to be classed with the one who is only a tradesman. It is a pity that the latter cannot be penetrated with a sufficient sense of the fitness of things to confine himself to the shop and the bazaar.' Despite this dismissal, the firm received an honourable mention for their jewellery exhibit and a silver medal for their stationary exhibit. Less then two years later, the firm took out a design patent for a metal purse. The census of 1881 lists the Knewstubs living at 20, St George Square, Pancras, London and Fabian himself as a publisher of books. Interestingly, in 1884, the firm fulfilled another royal contract, this time for Empress Eugénie of France. The contract was for the manufacture of an ebony and silver mounted book, with vellum pages containing the names of all the subscribers to a memorial established for the late Prince Imperial, her only son. The book was 'made in ebony, with silver mounts, with a raised carved silver 'N' and Imperial Crown in the centre, and raised silver eagle at each corner'.
