Provenance: The current lot was a given to the vendor's father, a doctor, from a very grateful patient during the early 1960's, thence by descent to the present owner. The life and work of Thomas Cole is extensively documented in Hawkins, J.B. THOMAS COLE & VICTORIAN CLOCKMAKING. Thomas Cole was born in Nether Stowey, Somerset in 1800. His father, Thomas senior, was a local clockmaker who is now known to have moved his family to Taunton in around 1815; he was a talented maker who probably taught both Thomas and his older brother, James Ferguson, the clockmaking trade. By 1821 James Ferguson had moved to London and filed a Patent for a pivoted detent escapement, by 1823 he was working from New Bond Street where he was joined by his younger brother, Thomas. Over the next twelve years the two brothers worked alongside each other and produced a series of highly complicated silver 'humpback' carriage clocks very much in the manner of Abraham Louis Breguet (leading some to speculate a connection between Breguet and the Cole brothers). The brothers then went their separate ways with James Ferguson going on to explore his technical abilities later developing a series of escapement designs including a 'resilient' lever escapement (1830), a 'double rotary' escapement (1840), a detached escapement calliper (1849) and an escapement with negative diameter (1859). Thomas Cole sought to specialise in small decorative timepieces of the highest quality. By 1845 he was advertising himself as a Þsigner and maker of ornamental clocks' and in 1851 submitted examples for display at the Great Exhibition, both under his name, and on the stands of other leading retailers such as Hunt & Roskel and Hancocks. He then went on to exhibit at the Paris Exhibition of 1855 where his entry warranted an 'Honourable Mention', and again at the British International Exhibition in 1862 where he was awarded a medal for 'Excellence of taste and design'. Thomas Cole was elected to the Royal Society of Arts in June 1861; he died three years later of typhoid fever, at his home at 1 Westbourne Park Road, Paddington, leaving his second wife Charlotte and their three children (two boys and one girl). The originality and inventiveness of design coupled with the exceptional quality of finish ensured an enduring popularity for Thomas Cole's work, mainly from the rising Nouveau Riche class of Victorians made wealthy from the Industrial Revolution. Until the discovery of the current lot only two other full-sized 'table' clocks by Thomas Cole were known. Both of these were first documented as consecutive lots offered at Christie's, King Street, Important Clocks and Marine Chronometers 13th December 2000 (lots 63 and 64). The first was numbered 1884 and was signed for the retailer's Hunt and Roskell, London; whilst the second bore the numbers 1578 and 1505 and was dated March 1862 to the going spring barrel. Both of these clocks were very similar only differing in detail - mainly in the design of the engraving; they sold for the premium inclusive amounts of £69,750 and £71,950 respectively. It seems that these two examples were purchased by the same buyer as they were offered again by Christie's, in their sale of Magnificent Clocks, on the 15th September 2004. Presented together as a 'harlequin pair' (lot 29) they realised £81,260 including buyer's premium. Finally number 1884 appeared for a third time at Christies where it was sold for £73,250 on 15th March 2012 (lot 25). Although the current lot is outwardly similar than the other two known examples overall refinements and improvements in both its specification and detailing are evident. The dial incorporates the additions of a barometer scale and thermometer whilst the rim of the table is generally of increased complexity featuring a stepped layered edge. The base is also more substantial with the central platform being significantly wider than on the other examples. This allows the lower tier of baluster supports to be spread further apart and the base plate to have an increased footprint resulting in improved stability and more satisfactory proportions. In addition to this the horizontal elements of the both the central platform and the base are extensively engraved compared to the relatively simple single geometric band seen on the lowermost step of the other two examples. Overall the detail design of the engraved enrichments possessed by the current lot are particularly harmonious being in the Greco-Egyptian style throughout. This style of decoration was made popular by Thomas Hope during the first quarter of the 19th century and seems to have been used relatively sparingly by Cole and then only for his finest examples.
