Room, Paymaster General's, the chisel-foot, drop-dial mahogany case of typical Vulliamy form with a door to the trunk and sprung lock to the bezel, height 61cm. * Biography Benjamin Louis Vulliamy, born 1780, married Francis Styles 1815, died 1854, was the son of the fine clockmaker Benjamin Vulliamy and worked alongside him for a number of years. B.L. Vulliamy was keeper of the clocks in the Royal Household and would often arrange for both movements and dials to be replaced with those of his making so as to improve their efficiency. He was also, along with his brother Justin Theodore, responsible for continuing the work of Frederick Barraud in building up the magnificent library of horological books belonging to the Clockmakers Company, indeed many of the books were presented by the Vulliamy brothers themselves and he would push other clockmakers of note to donate books. At a time when many new law offices and government buildings were being constructed on the orders of William IV, Vulliamy was given the opportunity to provide clocks for these buildings and it is claimed that the business supplied 187 such clocks for the Crown, of which this example is one.

William Thompson, Wolverhampton, a mahogany longcase clock: the eight-day duration movement, striking the hours on a bell, the thirteen-inch painted break-arch dial having black Roman numerals, Arabic outer five-minute numerals, raised gilt-work decoration on a blue ground to the four corners, a subsidiary seconds dial and date aperture to the dial centre and signed Wm.

He traded as Ashwin & Co from 1787 until his death in 1791. It was in this year that a mob gathered outside a hotel to protest at a meeting taking place within, which was celebrating the first anniversary of the French Revolution. Ashwin was recruited as a special constable whereupon he was hit on the head by a rock and died of his injuries. His wife continued the business alongside their fourteen year old son, but within a year they had formed a partnership with another dial maker, Thomas Byrne, who may well have also formed a personal relationship with Mary. In her book The Art of the Painted Clock Dial, Mary Tennant notes that only a few Ashwin dials are known - all of high quality, and that it is likely that Byrne continued to use the remaining stock of Ashwin falseplates on his own dials making it sometimes difficult to tell if a dial is an Ashwin or a Byrne, especially as they are of very similar styles.
