Ticking, striking and repeating, with winding key. 13cms (5ins) highFootnotes:Paul Storr was born in 1771, possibly a relation of Marmaduke Storr, father and son horologists from London. Paul Storr was apprenticed to Andrew Fogelberg as a silversmith and is first recorded as a 'working silversmith' at 30 Church St., Soho in 1794. Two years later, he had relocated to 20 Air St. Piccadilly, where he would remain until 1806. After this point he moved to 53 Dean Street, Soho, and is joined by four partners: Philip Rundle, John Bridge, Edmund Waller Rundle, and William Theed, formally being described as Storr & Co.. By 1810, Storr & Co. had expanded to encompass 54 Dean Street, though it appears that from 1809-1816, Storr maintained premises at 22-23 Air Street, as well as the north side of Vincent square in 1814. In 1811, Storr & Co. was robbed of 127 oz. (3.6 kg) of silver by one of their porters, James Potter. He was charged with stealing from his employers and transported for seven years.It appears that Storr had a falling out with his partners around 1818; although the business was still named Storr & Co., they were not listed on insurance forms, as they had been previously. He also moved the shop to 17 Harrison Street, Gray's Inn Road. Two years after this move, he was still at this location, though he was now described as a 'gentleman', rather then as a 'working silversmith'. By 1823, Storr was again in partnership, this time with John Mortimer, and they operated out of 13 New Bond Street, while the Harrison Street property seemed to be reserved for manufacturing. Storr & Mortimer were now described as 'silversmiths and jewellers', rather than simple 'working silversmiths'. Mention was also made of Eley & Co. at this time, who were working silversmiths, and with whom Storr & Mortimer. did business with, apparently for repairs.1831 saw the company move to 26 Harrison Street, Grays Inn Lane, and also expand the New Bond Street location, to include both 13 and 14. Less then two years later, they had moved to 156 New Bond Street. By 1835, John Samuel Hunt, a chaser and silversmith, had become a partner, and lived next door to their Harrison-street manufactory, though the firm still traded out of their Bond Street location. It appears that Hunt was responsible for the day-to-day administrative running of the firm, and that Mortimer was responsible for overseeing the designs and production. It seems that around 1838/1839, Storr retired to Brixton, Surrey, possibly dying in 1844. After Storr's retirement, the company was renamed Mortimer & Hunt, and they continued using the same addresses as those used by Storr & Mortimer. Robert Roskell, a watchmaker from a horological family in Liverpool, joined the firm in 1842, and the firm was thus renamed Hunt & Roskell, though the two addresses remained the same.

A rare mid-19th century French one-piece cased carriage clockBaullier (Père et fils) and Paul GarnierThe typical bevelled glazed case surmounted by a turned handle on baluster uprights with moulded frame on a stepped base with wooden block underneath, the front panel lifting up via an applied knob to allow for winding and hand setting. The silvered one-piece dial with engine turned centre, the Roman chapter ring framed by a watered-silk effect mask, and set with blued steel moon hands. The large twin spring barrel movement with a jewelled English lever platform escapement, the uncompensated monometallic balance with engraved cock, striking on a large flat bell, the backplate stamped Baullier Père et fils and in the centre P. G. Brevete. Ticking and striking. 18cms (7ins) highFootnotes:The Baullier dynasty of clock manufactures were established in 1789. By 1823, the elder Baullier was operating out of 102 Rue du Temple in Paris and advertising as a clock and watch maker. Three years later the firm had become Baullier, père et fils, still operating out of the same location. It seems likely that the younger Baullier was apprenticed to his father, finishing his apprenticeship in 1826. On 15 April 1827, the shop was relocated to 9 Rue Vendôme, and the firm appears to have expanded their offerings to included horological wholesale. Two years later, the firm had expanded again, to include gilt bronze clock cases. Confusingly, they are listed as still operating out of 102 Rue du Temple, as well as 7 Rue Vendôme. Additionally, a clock and watch maker named Baullier was listed as part of the committee for the Parisian 6th district town hall, beginning from this date. Two years after this, a horologist named Baullier served as juror. Sometime before 1836, the younger Baullier appears to have married a woman of very good standing, though as with the rest of the dynasty her first name remains unknown. In 1836, though, she is listed as a wealthy donor to a charity ball, specifically held to raise money for the poor of the 6th district in Paris. Her address is listed as 9 Rue Vendôme. Less then a year later, the name of the firm was changed to 'Baullier, Elder & Co.' and their address was listed as 9 Rue Vendôme. The firm's trades were described as 'clock makers, wholesale orders, gilt bronzes cases and watches of all types'. This title would be in place throughout 1839, though by this point the firm was known by several other names; 'Baullier, elder clockmaker 9 Rue Vendôme', 'Baullier's son & Co. Rue Vendôme', and the first mention of 'Baschet-Baullier 9 Rue Vendôme'. Similar to the Baullier family, Baschet's surname is unknown and very little is known about them. A year later, these titles were all still in use, though Baullier, père et fils 9 Rue Vendôme, had supplanted 'Baullier, Elder & Co.'It appears that Baullier Sr. had transferred the shop to Baullier Jr. and Baschet in 1841, a notice appearing in several trade journals that the latter were now the successors to the former. It is also the first time that Baullier's wife is listed in the trade journals, as a metal engraver working out of 48 Coquillière. Baullier is also listed as working out of this address as a horologist. No mention is given of Baschet trading at this location.Less then a year later, the Baulliers had relocated to 67 Vieux-Augustins, though the shop Baullier and Baschet took over remained at 9 Rue Vendôme. In 1843, mention is again made of a horologist named Baullier serving as part of the committee for the 6th district town hall; it is possibly that the elder Baullier's position on the committee was transferred to his son on the former's retirement, though it is also possible that the younger Baullier had been part of the committee since 1829. This same year, the famed conjuror and horologist began working out of 9 Rue Vendôme (having been at 11 Rue Vendôme the previous year) an address he would work out off until 1846.The following year, the firm exhibited during the 'Industry Exposition of 1844' though their name had again changed, now becoming 'Baschet, Baullier and brother'. They exhibited a selection of pillar clocks and gilt bronze cases. The firm's name was changed in trade journals as well, to 'Baschet, Baullier and brother', with mention being made that all three were the successors of the elder Baullier. In 1846, Baullier and his wife moved to 43 Vieux-Augustins, and the former expanded his offerings to include both horological repair and polishing. The firm expanded in 1847, to offer Carcel lamps (clockwork driven oil lamps) in addition to 'clocks and general horology'. In 1848, Baullier's wife advertised as a jeweller as well as a metal engraver, the couple had also moved again, to 55 Montmartre. Interestingly, Baullier's wife is also referred to as Mme. Hte, likely Madame Haute which was a designation for an aristocrat at the time. Based on her past involvement as a donor to a Parisian ball, it seems that she may have been quite wealthy.In 1849, Mme. Baullier began to specify that she was a metal engraver for horological items, likely meaning an engraver for back/balance cocks, backplates, etc. There is also no longer any reference to the Baullier brother, the firm's name reverting back Baschet Baullier. Two years later the shop would move premises for the last time, to 7 Rue Vendôme. Less then a year later, in Baullier's solo advertisement, working out of 55 Montmartre, he described himself as a shop horologist (a horologist who repairs horological items out of a non-horological shop), possibly indicating his wife owned a jeweller's shop at which he was the horologist. In 1854, the Baulliers were operating out of 49 and 55 Montmartre, moving to 47-49 Montmartre shortly after. In 1856, Baschet, Baullier and Callaud of 7 Rue Vendôme Paris took out a 15-year patent for an 'electric remontoire'. Callaud appears to have been a Parisian horologist who had been working in Paris since at least 1833. As he is only named in the patent, it is possible that he entered into partnership with Baschet and Baullier strictly for the manufacture of clocks with an 'electric remontoir'. The firm continued to advertise in trade journals until 1861, after which point no mention can be found of Baschet Baullier, or Baullier on his own. The advertisements for the Baullier's wife stopped a year previously, and never pick up again. This date, 1860-61, coincides with the very end of the third global cholera pandemic, and the very beginning of the fourth, making it possible that all three manufacturers were victims. In 1884, an obituary was published for Julie Bourlet, née Baullier, a 24 year old horologist. Further, in 1898, a marriage notice is published for Rose-Emilile-Pauline Baullier (no profession) to Jules-Louis-Joseph Abry (watch case manufacturer). What relation these two women have to each other, and the Baullier horologists described, remains unknown.As the clock is marked Baullier, père et fils, the clock would likely have been manufactured between 1826-1840 For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A very rare, dated, mid 18th century mahogany-crossbanded oak longcase clock with Dutch strike and bolt-and-shutter maintaining powerHenry Hindley, YorkThe inverted bell top with shaped cresting flanked by twin capped pedestals over a stepped multi-part cornice raised on freestanding reeded Doric columns, the long trunk door with mahogany crossbanded edge on a matching panel base and apron. The 12 inch arched brass dial with large subsidiary date dial framed by addorsed dolphin mounts over mask-and-scroll spandrels enclosing the silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring signed either side of VI, the finely matted centre with running seconds and matted shutters for the maintaining power. The weight driven movement secured to the (replaced) seatboard by twin J-bolts locating into the lower edges of the plates which are united by four typical turned baluster pillars of particularly good colour, the going train with maintaining power engaged via a pull cord below, the striking train with rack striking system on a bell, (originally Dutch striking, now one bell hammer removed). The frontplate with engraved date 1743. The tapering steel rod pendulum with brass faced lenticular bob, and a pair of lead weights. 2.41m (7ft 11ins) high.Footnotes:Henry Hindley was born 'Henry Hindle' in 1699 to Margaret Proctor and Henry Hindle, a blacksmith, in Great Harwood, near to Blackburn. The Hindles were a well-known blacksmith family in Great Harwood, going back at least 150 years. It has been suggested that Henry served his apprenticeship in Wigan and at least two clocks signed Hindley de Wigan and dated to around 1720, are known to exist, which would support this conclusion. It is unknown who his master was; John Burgess, a Wigan clockmaker and gun smith, has been suggested, though there is no concrete proof that this was the case. Henry was the eldest of eleven, possibly twelve children. His sister, Katherine, was around a year his junior, followed by John (1704), Elizabeth (1705), Sarah (possibly another sister, though not confirmed), Mary (1708), Anne (1709), Edith (1711), another Anne (1713), the twins Margaret and Alice (1714), and the youngest of the siblings, Roger, who was born in 1716. By 1731, Hindley was in York, obtaining the Freedom of the City in March of that year. In order to gain Freedom in York, a horologist either had to be apprenticed in York, or pay for their freedom, with gifts being accepted in lieu of payment. Hindley accordingly gifted two specially made eight-day longcase clocks; one for the Mayor of York's home (Mansion House) and another for the Common Hall/Guildhall. He also agreed to maintain both clocks for a year (after which point, he would be paid for servicing them) and was subsequently granted his freedom. At some point, he married a woman named Sarah, and the couple had at least two children, Elizabeth and Joseph. The latter was born around 1728 and would likely have been apprenticed to his father.Hindley originally appears to have lived in Petersgate, before moving in 1741 to the corner of Blake Street and Stonegate. Around the time of his move to York, he seems to have apprenticed his younger brother Roger, though no formal record of this apprenticeship exists. Roger would later move to London, seemingly around the time that Henry moved to Blake Street and Stonegate. His main trade was watch-cap manufacture, and as no finished timepieces are known with his signature, it is assumed he built his career on supplying parts for the trade. He was known to have married, and the couple had at least one son, John. The last known record of this part of the Hindley family is in 1785, where Roger is noted as still an active horologist. In addition to changing residence in 1741, Henry Hindley made the acquaintance of John Smeaton, who would eventually become a London scientific instrument maker and civil engineer, as well as a life-long friend and posthumous promoter of Henry Hindley. During their first meeting, Smeaton references a wheel-cutting engine in Hindley's possession, and of Hindley's own manufacture around this time, which was equipped with an endless screw, and the ability to cut up to 360 teeth. Smeaton was so intrigued with the machine and its manufacture, that he would later deliver a lecture before the Royal Society in 1785, specifically about the machine and Hindley's process for dividing circles. The machine was acquired by a varied string of clockmakers, after Hindley's death, and alternatively run down and restored. It is unknown what eventually became of it.In addition to clocks, around 67 of which are extant (most being longcases, followed by turret clocks and then spring driven clocks) Hindley was known to have made at least two equatorial telescopes. The first was made around 1754, a contemporary opining that the mounting for the telescope was originally made to test the accuracy of Hindley's wheel cutting engine. He advertised the finished telescope for sale in the local newspaper of August that year, though it seemed to generate little interest. The telescope languished until 1761, when it was bought by a landowner, William Constable, to watch the transit of Venus. The second telescope Hindley made appears to have been made on commission for the Duke of Norfolk. Additionally, a pyrometer and rack-driven fusee engine are known to have been made by Hindley. Elizabeth died in 1762, the exact cause being unknown. Sarah followed shortly after, around the end of the same year. Henry continued his business until his death in 1771, reportedly after a 'lingering illness', though he managed to install a turret clock made for St. John's Church in Manchester before his death. One of the last jobs completed before his death, poetically, was the servicing of the clocks he had made for the Manion House and the Guildhall. He was described in his obituary as a 'Clock, Watch, and Mathematical Instrument maker.' Joseph took out a notice the following week, that he would be continuing his father's business. In 1774, shortly after completing work on the Holy Trinity Church's clock in Hull, Joseph also died, apparently in the middle of making an atmospheric steam engine for the same town's waterworks. He was described as a clock and watchmaker, with his obituary declaring him 'a most ingenious man, and esteemed one of the best Mechanics in the North of England.' Joseph had no children, nor did he ever marry, meaning that six months later, all the tools he inherited from his father were sold off, including the famed dividing engine.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
