A fine French engraved gilt brass carriage clock in the English tasteUnsigned, probably Paris, third quarter of the 19th centuryThe eight-day two train bell striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement stamped with serial number 1663 to the lower left hand corner of the backplate, the inset arched gilt brass dial with finely engraved and engine-turned floral bloom and strapwork engraved centre , blued steel moon hands and generous acanthus scroll decorated infill to apron set within a conforming C-scroll and leafy trail decorated mask, the case with S-scroll outline hinged carrying handle above bevelled top glass within fine foliate strapwork engraved and horizontal engine-hatched surround applied with oval finials to each corner, with slender channelled frieze and fluted three-quarter column uprights enclosing a pair of side panels each finely engraved with pair of engine-turned floral spray engraved shaped panels to centre and conforming landscape engraved panels depicting coastal shipping and a riverscape to upper and lower margins within an intense leafy scroll decorated field, the back door of conforming design but incorporating Lakeland scenes, on cavetto moulded stepped skirt base decorated with floral sprays issuing from a scallop shell the each side 13.5cm (5.25ins) high excluding handle; with a tooled maroon leather covered outer travelling case. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The quality of the engraved decoration to the current lot can be best described as exceptional. The sides and rear panel are particularly noteworthy in that they employ a mixture of fine detail engraving and very precise engine-turned hatched infill to give texture and the impression of depth to the landscape scenes. Indeed when the clock is moved under differing light conditions the surfaces reflect the light in a very effective manner causing the decoration to 'come alive'. The overall form and feel of the present clock is very reminiscent of English work particularly makers such as McCabe, Dent, and Cole (see Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS page 277, Fig. 18.14) although Swiss makers also produced clocks along a similar theme during the second quarter of the 19th century (see Roberts, page 71, Fig. 4.3).Condition Report: Movement appears complete and free from visible alterations, repairs or replacements but is a little dirty/neglected. The escapement will beat but only for a few oscillations before stopping which suggests that the train is sound but requires a clean and overhaul. The strike train is in working condition. The dial is undamaged. The case is generally in fine condition with faults limited to slight bruising of the top surface where the baton of the handle rests when the hinged down position and a couple of minor spots of discolouration to the cornice Un-engraved surfaces). Otherwise gilding is in fine condition and the very fine engraving crisp and clear. The front glass has some very shallow internal chipping to the lower right hand corner. The travelling box is structurally sound but has wear and scuffing to exterior. Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French porcelain panel inset silvered and gilt brass grande-sonnerie striking carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarmRetailed by Tiffany and Company with panels by Lucien Simonnet, Paris late 19th centuryThe 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 fine engine-turned silvered platform lever escapement, alarm sounding on the smaller gong and stamped with serial number 2951 to the lower left hand corner of the backplate, the rectangular porcelain dial with elaborate raised gilt bordered Roman numeral cartouche hour numerals around a centre painted with pair of lovebirds tending a nest and signed TIFFANY & Co., PARIS, the lower margin with subsidiary alarm setting dial within painted Lakeland scene with castle monogrammed LS. to left hand corner, with blued steel hands and canted brass fillet surround, the bevel-glazed case with hinged tied acanthus leaf cast handle over generous top glass, complex mouldings, panelled frieze and fluted gilt corner columns with scroll capitals and leafy baluster waists, the sides finely painted in polychrome and raised gilt with three-quarter length portraits of young female courtiers in Renaissance style dress each signed L. Simonnet to lower right, the skirt base with projecting angles incorporating fluted panels flanking stylised baton over shaped apron to front and squab feet, the underside with Grande Sonnerie/Silence/Petite Sonnerie selection lever, 18.5cm (7.25ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The work of Lucien Simonnet (1849-1926) is discussed by Larry L. Fabian in his article Carriage Clock Porcelain. Artistic pedigrees hiding in plain view published in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY December 2019 (pages 501-13). Simonnet was a Sevres trained painter of porcelain who appeared to specialise in producing the finest figural panels often based on works by well-known artists of the period. Fabian highlights three examples with three-quarter portrait panels after Emile Vernet-Lecomte and Charles Louis Muller executed in the romantic historic Middle-Eastern 'Orientalist' style. The current lot draws inspiration from the European Renaissance, again romanticised, and notably the panels are housed in a case which compliments them by drawing inspiration from Renaissance architecture. Of the three examples described by Fabian two are signed for Tiffany. This coupled with the fact that the current lot is also signed for Tiffany would suggest that the prestigious firm of New York retailers were one of the primary stockists of such clocks. Indeed the highly sophisticated and fashionable appearance coupled with their exceptional quality is worthy of such a retail environment and are highly typical of fin de siecle exuberance. The fact that the movement of the current lot is unsigned is apparently not unusual; indeed all three examples highlighted by L. Fabian also have unsigned movements. Despite this the mechanism is of the finest quality equal to that of Drocourt, Margain or Henry Jacot incorporating a particularly fine engine-turned platform lever escapement with split bi-metallic balance, and is of the highest specification having grande-sonnerie striking.Condition Report: Movement has no evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements and is essentially in working condition however the strike train is currently out-of-sync with the hands and the mechanism is generally a little dirty/neglected hence would benefit from a clean and overhaul. The strike selection lever to the base, alarm and repeat mechanism are all operational. The dial is in fine condition with no visible damage. The right hand side panel has a very faint hairline across the upper right hand corner which is barely visible even under very close examination. The left hand panel appears free from visible damage. The top glass has a crack across the centre, the rear has slight chipping to the lower corners and the front has a tiny chip (barely visible even on close examination) to the lower right. The case retains its original multi-coloured metal finishes although with some edge wear and light discolouration/degradation throughout.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A rare French silver mounted tortoiseshell miniature carriage timepiece in the form of a rotundaMaison Boin-Taburet, Paris, late 19th centuryThe eight-day single train movement with silvered platform lever escapement and stamped with serial number 36345 to lower left hand corner of the backplate, the circular engine-turned gilt brass Roman numeral dial with blued steel spade hands set behind a convex glazed bezel, the case in the form of a rotunda with tied floral ring handle over domed superstructure bound with eight panel-cast ribs and cavetto moulded frieze with projections over the seven Ionic half-column uprights interrupted at the front by the dial with ribbon tied laurel spray beneath, on circular stepped cavetto moulded base stamped BOINTABURET, A PARIS to underside, 11.5cm (4.5ins) high; with original gilt tooled brown leather covered protective case opening at the front to reveal cream silk lined interior further inscribed BOIN-TABURET.., 13cm (5ins) high overall Maison Boin-Taburet was established in 1873 when the antique dealer George Boin and the jeweller Emile Taburet went into partnership to specialise in the production and sale of Louis XV revival silverwork and became particularly well known for their surtout de tables many of which were crafted to resemble garden lakes or ponds with ornamental sculptures, fountains and urns. The firm was awarded a gold medal at the Paris 1889 Exposition Universelle and were also known as retailers of small items of furniture and decorative objects of the very highest order, made by the leading ébénistes of the day. Taburet and Boin continued in partnership together until 1900 when Georges Boin went into partnership with the silversmith Henry to establish Boin and Henry silversmiths.The current lot can be directly compared to an ivory-bodied example, also signed for Boin-Taburet, which was sold at Christies, South Kensington sale of The Dr. Eugene and Rose Antelis Collection of Important French Carriage Clocks Thursday 26th November 1998 (lot 123).Condition Report: Movement is in clean original condition and will just about run although a clean and overhaul is required. The dial is in good original condition although there is a splash of metal polish residue ove the IIII numeral. The case is generally in good condition; the dome has a crack to the tortoishell which cannot be seen as it is beneath one of the cast ribs of the dome. An attempt has been made to polish the silver mounts which has resulted in the removal of most of the gilding, the castings however are still crisp and in good condition. The outer leather covered travelling case has overall wear and scuffing and also a small loss to the apex of the front left hand hinged section.Timepiece does not have a winding key present Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine and rare French Empire ormolu and patinated bronze mantel clock in the form of a teapotFournier horologer, Grenoble, the case by Claude Galle, Paris, early 19th century The circular eight-day two train countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum incorporating silk suspension, the circular white enamel Roman numeral dial signed Fournier h'ger, a Grenoble to centre, with Arabic quarters to the outer minute track and sculpted gilt brass hands within fine engine-turned gilt cast bezel, the case modelled as a cylindrical teapot with fruiting bud finial to the ogee cap surmount decorated with burnished anthemion motifs onto a finely matted ground over a stepped canted gilt collar, the dial flanked by a shaped fluted handle incorporating stylised leafy scrolls opposing conforming upswept tapered burnished spout decorated with matted flutes and terminating with a grotesque hippocanthus mask, on generous gilt skirt base incorporating complex engine-turned top mouldings over four bun feet, 25.5cm (10ins) high. The Fournier family of clockmakers can be traced back to the 1740's with Louis Fournier being recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as a second generation Parisian clockmaker appointed a Master of his trade in 1748. Subsequent generations worked in Paris throughout the 18th and early 19th centuries including a C.L. Fournier during the Empire period. Another member of the family, Stanislaus Fournier (a former apprentice of Lepaute), is also recorded as emigrating to New Orleans in around 1840. From the inscription on the dial it would appear that the Fournier family also had an outlet in Grenoble which was probably most likely supplied directly from their workshops in Paris. Of the very few known examples of this model at least two are signed for Claude Galle, Paris confirming that the cases were made in in his workshops; this includes an example in the highly important collection of the Musee Francois Duesberg at Mons. According to the Royal Collections website Claude Galle was one of the leading bronzeurs of his day and he created numerous gilt bronzes for the Royal and subsequently Imperial household. Born at Villepreux near Versailles, he was apprenticed to the fondeur, Pierre Foy at rue du Four. In 1784 he married Foy's daughter and after the Foy's death, took over the workshop and built it into one the finest of its kind, eventually employing about 400 craftsmen. In 1786 he became a maitre-fondeur and in the same year received the first of many commissions from the Garde-Meuble to furnish the royal palaces. Galle moved the business to Quai de la Monnaie (renamed Quai de l'Unit?) and from 1805 traded from 60 Rue Vivienne.Condition Report: Lot 145Movement is in good original unrestored condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The going train is in working order although as movement is dirty/neglected a clean is required. The mainspring of the strike train is compromised (broken or detached from its anchorage within the barrel) in addition to this the first wheel of the strike train now spins on its arbor hence will require re-securing before strike train will operate (probably came loose when the spring failed). The strike train otherwise appears to be in sound condition.The dial has an extremely light small hairline crack to the centre near the III numeral (can only be seen on very close examination) and some very light wear/fritting to the enamel around the winding holes otherwise is in fine original untouched condition.The case is in very good condition with the only noticeable blemish being a very small bruise to the bezel at 12 o'clock. The gilding has minimal wear and only a few spots of discolouration (most noticeably the rear foot). The patinated section (the body of the teapot) is in fine condition and is of nice greeny brown colour.Clock is complete with pendulum and winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A French Louis Philippe patinated, silvered and gilt bronze equestrian mantle clockDupont, Paris, circa 1840The circular two train countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement and Brocot-type regulation to the pendulum suspension, the foot of the backcock stamped DUPONT, A PARIS and the lower margin stamped with serial number 2194, the circular silvered Roman numeral dial with radial engine-turned decoration and steel moon hands set within generous acanthus decorated reeded bezel, the case with surmount finely cast in patinated bronze as a standing racehorse set on a naturalistically cast gilt platform, over silvered plinth with reeded top moulding and generous acanthus scroll cast mounts flanking the dial, on skirt base with gilt repeating leaf top moulding and scroll feet, 49cm (19.5ins) high.Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working. A clean and overhaul is advised as clock appears not to have been in use for a while (despite being in clean condition). The dial is in good condition but id a little dirty and tarnished revealing 'shadows' from earlier painted numerals suggesting that at some pint the dial has been cleaned, re-silvered and numerals reinstated. The case is generally in good condition although the front and rear panels have been pushed in a little at the lower margins (should be straightforward to rectify). The bronze is in fine condition with nice patination/colour. The silvering to the case has overall tarnishing discolouration as well as spots/runs of moisture damage. The original gilding survives but is rubbed/discoloured in places and has some touching-in with paint to the principal mouldings of the plinth.Clock unfortunately does not have a pendulum or winding key.

A Regency ormolu and patinated bronze figural mantel timepieceUnsigned but probably by Baetens, London, circa 1825The circular four columnar pillar eight-day single chain fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by a lenticular bob pendulum, the 3.5 inch circular white enamel Roman numeral dial with Arabic fifteen minutes to the outer minute track and steel moon hands within a gilt serpent scale milled bezel, the case with surmount cast as an eagle perched on a ball and ribbon-tied oak leaf crest draped over the apex of the drum housing the movement, cradled on honeysuckle decorated scroll supports applied to a relief floral garland decorated upstand flanked by a pair of figures each cast as recumbent Classical females reading a folio, the base applied with Satyr masks flanked by conforming floral swags, raised on engine-turned toupe feet, 32cm (30.5ins) high. Several models of this timepiece sharing the same castings, form and specification are known signed either by Joseph van Baetens, F.Baetens or just Beatens who were a family firm of bronziers who also produced timepieces. Working in a similar vain to the Vulliamy family they were based at 23 Gerard Street, Soho, and according to Baillie, G.H. (in Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World) were active around 1832. An identical timepiece was sold in these rooms on Tuesday 2nd October 2019 (lot 163) for £1,900 hammer.Condition Report: Movement is in working condition and appears all-original however a clean and overhaul is advised. There is a non-original pendulum with the clock which is lacking its suspension spring. The dial appears to be in fine condition however on close examination (particularly from an angle allowing light to reflect off the surface) very light surface cracks and undulations in the surface can be seen indicating that the enamel has been restored. The hands are in good condition. The case appears to be in fine original condition retaining original gilding with only light edge rubbing and patchy discolouration in places most noticeably around a join in the casting of the floral drape mount over the dial. There are also signs to the rear of the same of steady pins being soldered to each side at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions.Timepiece has a pendulum and winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Condition Report: All barometers appear to be in working order (have been bag tested) and are generally in sound/good original condition with some slight mellowing to the silvered dials and light wear/discolouration to the gilding only. The only exception being top centre right in the image (Negretti and Zambra retailed by J. Lizars) which has significant wear and discolouration to gilding. The cases are generally intact but are worn with some missing clasps etc. The thermometer appears to be in good original condition and providing correct temperature. The dial has some light patchy tarnishing only. Condition Report Disclaimer

Two George III brass refracting telescopes Jesse Ramsden, London, late 18th century The first 1.5 inch two-draw with shuttered eyepiece and inscribed Ramsden, London, Day or Night to first draw, the exterior with mahogany sleeve grip and brass sliding sun shade, 91.5cm (36ins) long extended and 38cm (15ins) closed; the second 2 inch single draw with screw fine focus adjustment and signed Ramsden to the body tube, (focus screw inoperative, formerly mounted on a stand). 38cm (15ins) long closed. Jesse Ramsden is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Ramsden, 'Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851' as working from several addresses in London 1762 until his death in 1800, however by 1782 both his workshop and principal retail outlet were on Piccadilly. He was one of the finest instrument makers of the period being particularly well known for his invention of a dividing engine and subsequent equatorial telescope stands. Condition Report: The wooden-sleeved two-draw is in good original condition with no apparent faults with the optics and it will focus providing a clear image. The sunshade has cracking and denting to the open end otherwise faults are limited to some very light denting to the draws, scuffs, scratches discolouration and degradation to the lacquered brass finishes. The second instrument appears intact with no visible damage to optics however no focussed image can be obtained. The focus screw is no operational (turns but with no resultant adjustment/movement). The exterior retains original lacquered finish but with overall patchy discolouration. The body tube has some light denting and a cluster of small holes to underside presumably from previous mounting onto a tripod. Condition Report Disclaimer

Warren to circumference over LONDON, 1847 at the junction with the wedge-shaped foot secured next to the silvered regulation disc within an applied shaped plate engraved with conforming foliate scroll infill, with circular white enamel Roman Numeral dial with gilt spade hour hand, the silver consular case with engine turned rear cover and band to circumference beneath post fitted with a suspension ring, the inside of the rear cover marked for London 1830 and JG for James Green, watch case maker who worked from 48 Ironmongers Row, St.Lukes, London, the pillar plate 20mm (0.75ins) diameter approx.; 25mm (1ins) diameter overall. A George Henry Warren is recorded in Britten, F.J. BRITTEN'S OLD CLOCKS AND WATCHES AND THEIR MAKERS as a watch motion maker who worked from President Street West, London 1849; 82 Charles Street, London 1851 and 21 Ratcliffe Terrace, Goswell Road, London in 1853.Condition Report: The fusee chain is currently broken and not fitted but is present with the watch; the escapement pallets seem either not to be present or are not engaging with the escapewheel hence movement generally requires attention. The dial has a small crescent-shaped hairline edge-crack at 2 o'clock and the minute hand is lacking. The case is generally in good condition with the exception of some slight denting to the rear cover at 10 o'clock.There is no winding key with this watch. Condition Report Disclaimer

A steel and brass precision lathe attachment or cutting frame for generating eccentric curves or elipsesUnsigned, probably English, second half of the 19th centuryThe upper section with divided screw adjusting slide incorporating lockable socket applied to the top over the first fine screw axis pivot offset adjustment within the upper section of the frame above sliding central division for amplification/reduction for the range the throw of the mechanism movement engaging via sliding dovetail-slot linkages with the second fine screw axis offset adjustment incorporating tapered slot locking screw and applied directly to the arbor of the large brass sixty-tooth driving wheel within the lower part of the frame annotated with ascending numbers for every five teeth to rim, the base with steel square post for bench or lathe mounting, 28cm (11ins) wide; in fitted mahogany box with caddy-moulded lid, 36cm (14ins) wide. Although the exact purpose of the current lot is yet to be identified the adjustments appear to allow setting of the mechanism to define one of an endless series of eccentric curves for a single rotation. The fairly substantial and precise construction would suggest that the present mechanism suggests that it was designed for workshop use, perhaps for ornamental engine-turning of the generation/cutting of cam profiles.

A fine French gilt brass five minute-repeating carriage clock with dumb-strikeRetailed by Mangan, Rhodes and Son, Bradford, late 19th centuryThe eight-day gong hour-striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and five minute repeat on a second smaller gong, the rear with plunger operated hammer arrest lever and stamped with small indistinct trademark serial number 20724 to lower margin, the dial with rectangular gilt engine-turned mask enclosing an inset Roman numeral enamel hour disc inscribed MANGAN RHODES & SON, Bradford to centre within red Arabic five minutes to outer track and with blued steel moon hands, the gilt brass bevel-glazed cannelee case with hinged carrying handle to the glazed oval panel centred top incorporating 5 Minutes and Hours repeat plungers to front edge and a further plunger labelled Dumb Striking to the rear, with complex upper mouldings, channelled corner uprights and ogee-shaped skirt base, 14cm (5.5ins) high excluding handle. Five-minute repeating clocks are discussed in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development on pages 197-98. Of the two variations described by Allix the current lot falls into the first with the strike-work being related to that of a grande or petit sonnerie striking clock. However the present clock is unusual in being of this type but having separate plungers for sounding full five minute repeat or hours only as well as well as dumb striking. Although seemingly very scarce another very closely related example, this time in an engraved case and numbered 20721 (ie. only three numbers before the present clock), was sold in these rooms on Tuesday 2nd October (lot 141) for £2,200 hammer. A further example with this unusual configuration (numbered 20720) was sold at Christies, South Kensington, London The Dr. Eugene and Rose Antelis Collection of Important French Carriage Clocks 26th November 1998 (lot 106).Condition Report: Movement is in clean condition with no obvious evidence of alteration, repairs or significant replacements. The going train is operational as is the strike train and the repeat mechanism. Both the hour and five minute repeat functions are also operational however it would appear that the five-minute sounds one interval short for the reading provided by the minute hand. The repeat function appears generally reliable but will now and again miss an hour hence a clean and overhaul is advised. The 'dumb' function is operational although the plunger has to be held down to enable the silent action.The dial has light hairline cracking to the enamel centre (only visible on close examination so not disfiguring) and the mask is a little tarnished/discoloured. The case is undamaged with no visible chips to the glasses however the original gilt finish is heavily rubbed/tarnished.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
