The firm of 'Le Roy & Fils' can be traced back to 1785 when the business was founded by Basille Charles Le Roy at 60 Galerie de Pierre, Palais Royal, Paris. During the Revolutionary years the firm relocated to 88 Rue de L'Egalite before finally settling at Galerie Montpensier, 13 and 15 Palais Royal. In 1828 Basille Charles died leaving the business to his son, Charles-Louis, who continued producing clocks signed 'Le Roy & Fils' until 1845 when the firm was sold to his former employee Casimir Halley Desfontaines; who was in-turn succeeded by his son M. George Halley Desfontaines in 1883. In 1888 M. George Halley died leaving the business to his brother Jules Halley who then took-in as partner Louis Leroy (apparently no relation to the founders of the firm). In 1899 the firm left the Palais Royal and moved to Boulevard de La Madeleine from where it continued trading in the hands of various successors well into the twentieth century. The figural form of the current lot is based on an Imperial era Roman marble sculpture (after a Hellenistic original) housed in the in the collection of the Louvre, Paris.

Horological Shop Tools 1700-1900 on pages 500-501. These notes firmly ascribe the first use of a triangular bed to Henry Hindley of York before being adopted by Dr. Smeaton. Henry Hindley (1701-71) was a highly inventive clockmaker whose work equalled the best London work of the day earning him the affectionate title 'the Tompion of the North'. In addition to his fine clocks Hindley was also known for producing improved designs of screw-cutting lathe, fusee-cutting engine and a wheel-cutting engine.

A fine shipbuilder's model for the turret deck steamer 'Blake',built by William Doxford and Sons for the Blake Steamship Co. Ltd., London, 1906,136cm long30cm deep46.5cm highThe 'Blake' was launched in 1906 and registered at 3,740 gross tons. William Doxford and Sons in Sunderland built 176 turret ships between 1892 and 1911, most fitted with a Doxford triple expansion steam engine. The design was characterized by a rounded and stepped ridge above the waterline - due to a low net tonnage, the turret decks paid lower tolls than conventional hulled ships. In 1911, the toll measures changed and, as the advantage of the design was therefore lost, construction ceased.The 'Blake' was sold in 1917 to Zodiac Shipping of Shanghai and on 24 July 1917 was torpedoed by a submarine near Cape Wrath.
