The remnants of a fine and rare German Renaissance small gilt brass steel-framed table clockInitialled D.M. and D. H., third quarter of the 16th centuryThe posted movement lacking all wheelwork but retaining front and back pivot plates (the centre lacking), set between steel top and bottom plates with square section uprights incorporating finely worked capitals and bases to angles, the dial plate engraved with winged cherub mask upper spandrel ornaments above vacant section for the hour and alarm dials (lacking) and dial for age of the moon over scene engraved after Heinrich Aldegrever with the creation of Eve and the angles applied with fine crisply chiselled fluted square pilaster uprights incorporating integral plinths and moulded capitals, the right hand side with panel engraved with armorial crest within a laurel wreath for a German aristocratic family over scene of the temptation of Adam and Eve, the left hand side with sacred Hebrew YHVH text for God over a temple with architectural alcove flanked by a column surmounted by a putto opposing an obelisk incorporating the initials DM to base, the lower margin with Ouroborus snake flanked by the initials D and H over scroll-crested panel engraved SVMM SALVS PVRO, VENERARI PECTORE, MEN HO CHRISTVM . ET GERNORE., BONVM ERE INCOLVMINO, the rear further engraved after Aldergrever with Adam and Eve toiling over hour strike dial and scene of the expulsion from paradise and with further conforming pilasters to angles, the gilt brass case top plate applied with vase finials to angles around a curved bellstand with conforming surmount, on stepped baseplate with moulded bun feet, (probably originally constructed with fixed spring-barrel drive), 14.5cm (5.75ins) high. Provenance: Sold at Sotheby's, London, 22nd May 1967 (lot 124) for £420 hammer.The exterior of the current lot incorporates four engraved scenes based on versions selected from a series of six entitled 'The Story of Adam and Eve' executed in around 1645 by Heinrich Aldegrever (German, in born Paderborn circa 1502, worked in Soest from circa 1525 until 1558/61). The quality of the engraving is particularly fine, this coupled with the very detailed crisp rendering of the corner columns and the overall architectonic structure of the clock is reminiscent of clocks made in Strasbourg (see Cardinal, Catherine and Vingtain, Dominique TRESORS d'HORLOGERIE page 68) or perhaps Innsbruck.  Although it would appear that the current lot was weight-driven prior to the removal of the wheel trains it is most likely that it was originally constructed with direct spring (non-fusee) drive perhaps fixed 'standing' barrels and possibly with stackfreed to the going train. When sold at Sotheby's in 1967 the movement was largely intact although converted to pendulum regulation and with a later silver chapter ring. It would appear that the clock has subsequently been dismantled for restoration, possibly with the intention to restore to spring drive, but for some reason the work has not been completed and the trains regrettably lost. The clock does however present as an extremely interesting example with very fine engraving and as of yet unidentified 'noble' provenance hence would warrant reinstatement of the trains or could be appreciated as is for its significant academic and decorative qualities. 

An early forged iron gothic domestic chamber clock movementUnsigned, German/Swiss, early to mid 16th century The two train movement with forged wheels, solid pinions and flanged winding pulleys incorporating English style sprung clicks to the great wheels, the three-wheel going train originally with verge escapement regulated by foliot balance, the single-arbor warnless strike train with nag's head lifting, shaped cam for overlift and flail locking, the countwheel mounted to the rear for the frame and driven via teeth cut to the inside of the rim, the frame constructed with riveted lap joints except the front two corner posts which are secured by pinned tenons to allow removal of strike detent and hammer pivot arbors, the upper and lower frame bars each forged in two sections joined by rivets at the rear corners, the right hand side leading edge with vacant potances and pivots for an alarm mechanism, the three central movement pivot bars also originally attached via pinned tenons with the front and back joined by a bar high above the movement to allow space for a foliate balance, the corners with spike finials and integral outstepped feet, (incomplete and with historic repairs/updates, missing items include motionwork, escapement, alarm, lines and weights), 34cm (13.5ins) high. Although perhaps a little agricultural in its appearance, on closer examination it can be seen that the present mechanism is fairly sophisticated in its design and construction. The frame in particular is efficiently designed to allow many variations of partial disassembly in order to facilitate servicing/adjustment of isolated parts of mechanism without disturbing other elements. The design of the strike train would have also been cutting-edge at the time of manufacture with nags-head lifting via starwheel behind the dial although the flail locking mechanism is perhaps a hangover from larger turret clock manufacture. Overall the layout and operation of both trains is technically very similar to chamber clocks made by the Leitchi family of Switzerland during the middle years of the 16th century (see Tardy LA PENDULE FRANCAIS, 3me Partie: Provinces et Etranger page 454). The size and proportions of the present movement are particularly pleasing which coupled with its inherent visual qualities and academic interest as a study-piece make it a worthy addition to any collection with an interest in early horology.Condition Report: Of the going train only the great and first wheel survive with the latter having a replacement brass pinions. The vertical pivot bars show evidence of balance wheel and pendulum escapements (in the form of vacant holes, slots etc.). The strike train retains original great wheel, second wheel, countwheel and release detent. The locking wheel is also present but is a replacement (including flail locking arm) as is the fly. The central movement bar has a repair at the base otherwise frame is basically sound and appears complete. The pulley wheels have age hence may well be original. There is no dial or motionwork with the movement. Faults otherwise limited to a few historic repairs, spare holes and wear commensurate with age.There is a later bell with the clock but nothing else. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French gilt brass bamboo cased carriage clock with Aesthetic style porcelain panels, push-button repeat and alarmUnsigned, Paris, late 19th centuryThe eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and sounding the alarm on the same gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 2051 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular porcelain dial panel overall painted in polychrome and gilt with asymmetric panels of carp, herons and insects within a cream field populated with a bird, butterfly inhabiting stylised foliage, the centre with gilt on iron-red Roman numeral cartouche chapter ring and blued steel hands over conforming alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt brass bevel glazed bamboo case with frame modelled to resemble sections of bamboo overlapping at the corners, the top with conforming hinged carrying handle and panel-glazed escapement aperture and the sides inset with additional Aesthetic style porcelain panels matching the dial with arrangement of shaped panels and objects decorated with carp, birds and other motifs within a cream ground incorporating birds and insects amongst flowering foliage within a blue and gilt geometric border, on integral bamboo stump feet, 16.5cm (6.5ins) excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The design of the porcelain panels of the current lot draw their inspiration from Japanese art in particular Satsuma pottery. The study and interpretation of Japanese decorative arts was a core element of the Aesthetic Movement which in-turn influenced Orientalist design which became highly fashionable during the latter quarter of the 19th century. Furthermore the 'bamboo' design of the case compliments the Aesthetic feel of the panels resulting in an object which is fully integrated in its visual qualities. A group of timepieces illustrating the variations on the theme of the current lot can be found in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS pages 172-73 (Fig. 10.16-17).Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible signs of alteration or significant replacements. The strike train is currently out of sync with the hands otherwise all is working as it should. The dial is in fine condition with no visible faults. The case presents as being in good condition however both side panels have repaired cracks to corners -the left hand to the lower left and the right hand to both lower corners and upper left. These cracks are visible hence can be seen on examination but are not are not considered disfiguring by ourselves. The rear door glass has chipping to the lower right hand corner, the top glass is free from damage. The lacquered finish to the frame of the case has only very slight discolouration and wear in places.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French frosted gilt brass carriage clock with multi-coloured relief cast foliate decorated anglaise riche case, push-button repeat and alarmUnsigned, late 19th centuryThe eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and alarm sounding on the same gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 433 to lower left and the frontplate stamped with indistinct number ..33 to lower left hand corner and 32 to centre with a larger stamp, the dial with gilt Roman numeral chapter ring inset into a rectangular panel sculpted in relief with bird and butterfly inhabited floral trails, with blued steel hands and conforming alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel-glazed frosted gilt brass anglaise riche with every surface decorated with bands and panels of bird inhabited floral sprays picked-out in gilt, silver and copper on a grey patinated ground, including the frame of the gilt reeded baton centred hinged carrying handle, Corinthian column shafts, frame of the back door and mouldings of the skirt base, 18cm (7ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The highly decorative bands and panels decorating every surface of the current lot employs a series of differing techniques to gild, silver, copper and chemically patinate the finely finished relief cast and engraved scenes to provide depth and contrast. A related example incorporating comparable decoration to all parts of the case is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 160 (Fig. 9.38) where the decoration is described as 'quite outstanding' and 'must have been one of the most time consuming methods of decorating a carriage clock'Condition Report: Movement is in clean condition, the strikework (including the repeat mechanism) is fully operational. The going train mainspring is wound and escapement will beat for a few seconds before stopping suggesting that the going train is in sound condition but oil/lubrication has dried-out hence a gentle clean/service will most likely be required. The movement exhibits no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The alarm is in working condition although the setting pointed appears to be out-of-sync with the releasing mechanism. The dial is appears to be in in perfect condition. The case which is in similar condition exhibiting no noticeable wear to the finish or chips to the glasses.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A very fine Limoges enamel panelled gilt brass cased carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarmProbably by A. Dumas, Paris, circa 1878The eight-day two train movement with silvered platform lever escapement, striking the hour on a gong and with alarm sounding on the same gong, the backplate with Arabic hour disc to the alarm setting square and stamped with oval A.D trademark next to serial number 1899 to lower left corner, the rectangular deep maroon almost black enamel dial with gilt star rosette to centre, contrasting white Roman numerals to chapter ring and gilt brass fleur-de-lys hands, the upper spandrel areas decorated in translucent polychrome enamel with Renaissance inspired stylised foliate scrolls and the lower margin with a pair of griffin Grotesques inhabiting conforming leafy infill, the bevel-glazed frosted gilt brass case variant on anglaise riche design with hinged reeded baton carrying handle over dentil cornice, fluted baluster Corinthian three-quarter corner columns with rose gilt capitals and fine enamelled side panels intricately decorated with full length portraits of a Renaissance lute player and opposing female companion in ornate robes with details picked-out in translucent enamel on a deep maroon almost black ground, on architectural plinth base with complex upper mouldings and skirt, 18cm (7ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The identity of the maker who used trademark A.D within an oval surround is currently unknown however clocks stamped with the same initials but within a diamond lozenge are known to be by A. Dumas who is noted in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development for a relatively small number of clocks bearing low serial numbers and having porcelain dials and panels. Allix also cites Saunier describing A. Dumas as a maker of his own gongs and cases which is of interest bearing in mind that the same oval A.D trademark has been seen on gong blocks used by Drocourt amongst others. Indeed it is the presence of this mark on the gong block of some of their clocks which has led to the incorrect belief by some that the mark was actually for Alfred Drocourt. The exquisite dial and side panels of the current lot are textbook examples of the finest enamel-work produced in the Limoges workshops during the second half of the 19th century. The Renaissance subject matter along with the colour palette (in particular the dark ground) revives the style for which the region became particularly well-known for during the 16th Century. Indeed the popularity and re-establishment of the Limoges enamel workshops during the second half of the 19th century was born out of a deep appreciation for the Renaissance originals which had become highly prized by connoisseurs earlier in the century. As often the case with French revivalist art the intention was to match (or even if possible exceed) the quality of the originals hence there was generally a 'no expense spared' approach to execution in order to achieve this objective.The panels of the current lot carefully and cleverly employ a mixture of opaque and translucent enamels to create depth, texture and lustre which varies under different lighting conditions. Some areas in particular, such as the areas representing silk within the garments of the figures, use the finished ground of the metal plate to great effect by allowing reflected to pass through vibrant pigmented transparent enamel surface layers. The vendor notes that the rear of one of the panels bears a franked label for Limoges dated 1878 which allows accurate dating of the clock.Condition Report: Movement is in fine clean fully working condition with no evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements, the striking and alarm mechanisms are working as they should. The dial appears to be in perfect condition as do the side panels with no visible faults or evidence of restoration. The case is also in fine condition with no apparent wear or noticeable discolouration to the gilding. Glasses also appear free from damage. Generally a very fine clock in 'showroom condition'.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A Swiss gilt brass carriage clock with fine German enamelled silver panels and alarmStamped for Rau and Steinmeyer, Geneva and Pforzheim, circa 1900The eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and white enamel Arabic numeral alarm setting dial to backplate stamped with oval trademark RAU &STEINMEYER, GENEVA PFORZHEIM to centre, the circular white enamel Arabic numeral dial with blued steel spade hands set within recessed gilt bezel into a rectangular enamel mask finely polychrome painted in the manner of Fritz Bemberg with a mixture of opaque and polychrome enamels with a scene of two mermaids wrestling grotesque dolphins, the corniche case with scroll outline hinged carrying handle over oval top glass and enamel side panels painted with nude tritons, water nymphs, putti and dolphins within a watery grotto incorporating grotesque mask fountain heads, on cavetto moulded skirt base with integral bracket feet to angles, 14cm (5.5ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. Hermann F. Steinmeyer is recorded in Kochmann, Karl CLOCK & WATCH TRADEMARK INDEX OF EUROPEAN ORIGIN as a manufacturer of pocket watches active in 1913. His trademark is also listed 1911, 1928-29.The enamels panels of the current lot are interesting in that the scenes are distinctly Classical in their subject matter but executed in a style highly influenced by the Art Nouveau movement which was at its height during the first decade of the 20th century. This coupled with the semi-erotic subject matter compares closely with the work of Fritz Bemberg who was active in Pforzheim circa 1900 to 1940. The decoration itself carefully and cleverly employs a mixture of opaque and translucent enamels to create depth, texture and lustre which varies under different lighting conditions. Some areas in particular, such as the fins of the 'dolphins' and waterfalls to the side panels, use the finished ground of the metal plate to great effect by allowing reflected to pass through vibrant pigmented transparent enamel surface layers.Condition Report: Movement has no evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements and is essentially in working condition however it is a little dirty/neglected hence a clean and overhaul will be required. The alarm mechanism is operational. The dial appears free from visible faults except for one spot of discolouration to the circular gilt bezel insert. The side panels appear free from damage. The lacquer finish to the case is rubbing-off/breaking-down causing light patchy tarnishing to appear through the gilding beneath otherwise case is in fine condition with no visible chips to the front and rear glasses.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 North Italian padouk wood 'night and day' table timepiece with silent-pull quarter-repeatUnsigned, mid 18th centuryThe rectangular back-wound movement with four baluster turned pillars pinned through the backplate, with spring barrel and verge escapement regulated by short pendulum cranked to clear the winding square to the four-wheel going train and the silent-pull quarter-repeating train of early Knibb type sounding the hours and quarters on demand only via twin hammers, the frontplate with motionwork behind iron falseplate fitted with three radial arms for mounting the dial around the separate disc centre now fixed and pierced with an fleur-de-lys shaped pointer within pierced Roman numeral chapters to the 8.75 inch square dial plate, the front with matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword-hilt half hour markers and five minutes to outer track, with pierced steel hands and fine foliate scroll cast gilt brass spandrels to angles, the gilt brass mounted padouk case with hinged carrying handle to the domed caddy flanked by pedestals surmounted with urn finials to the front over crisp cornice mouldings and foliate scroll cast and pierced mount to frieze, the square hinged glazed dial aperture applied with urn-cast mounts to upper rail, the sides with conforming frieze mounts over blind panels, the rear finished flush with simple door cut with a circular aperture now blanked-off with fabric covered panel, on cavetto moulded skirt base dressed with rosewood to lower edge, 52cm (20.5ins) high excluding handle. Although unsigned the present clock, in particular the case, can be compared to a hour-striking clock with alarm in a 'mulberry' (lampblack stained burr field maple) veneered case by Antonia Fenici of Modena illustrated in Brusa, Giuseppe La misura del tempo, L'antico splendore dell'orlogora italiana dal XV al XVIII secolo on page 546. The Fenici clock shares strong similarities with the case of the current lot in particular both have the same handle casting and double-skirt arrangement at the base. Another related clock, this time a silent-pull quarter repeating timepiece with alarm, was offered at Hampel Auctions, Munich in their auction of CLOCKS AND WATCHES held on Wednesday 7th December 2016 (lot 975). This second comparable is notable in having strong detail similarities in the movement including the back cock casting and pillars as well as the same pattern of spandrel ornaments to the dial.  The design of 'silent-pull' repeat mechanism used in the current lot is of the earliest type which is believed to have been invented in around 1676 by Edward Barlow and/or Daniel Quare which, in practice, seems to have been first put to use by Joseph Knibb (see Dawson, Percy G., Drover, C.B. and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks pages 343-4). This mechanism will sound the last hour and quarter on two bells on demand only and is thought to have been devised for night-time use in the bedroom; whilst striking clocks with quarter repeat facility were generally intended to be utilised downstairs during the day and upstairs at night. The invention of pull-quarter repeat mechanisms rendered nigh clocks obsolete hence few were made in England after the mid 1670's however in Italy it seems that they persisted for longer. In addition to having a silent-pull quarter repeat mechanism the present timepiece was originally constructed with a dial which enabled time to be read both during the day and at night. This took the form of a rotating hour disc pierced with an arrow to serve as the hour hand reading against a fixed chapter Roman numerals pierced in the dial plate. It is possible that the current minute hand is original hence would allow the time to be read in tandem with the hour pointer during the day and by the hour pointer against the pierced chapter ring at night facilitated by lighting the clock from the rear by placing a light source beyond the circular aperture to the back door.What is particularly unusual with the current timepiece is that it is also provided with a silent-pull quarter-repeat mechanism which essentially acts as an alternative to a 'night dial' hence would seem to render the provision of latter redundant. The only logical reason why both systems for the telling of time at night were provided was to enable the clock to be used either within easy access or out of reach of an individual sleeping in a larger bed chamber of an Italian Palazzo.  Although the dial has been modified with the provision of a silvered chapter ring and fixing the central disc to allow the hour to be indicated via the traditional arrangement of an hour hand, all of the original elements appear to survive hence it would seem that the clock could be restored back to its original configuration without having to resort to conjectural reconstruction. 

A rare ebonised Dutch striking bracket clock with moonphase and alarmBearing a signature for Thomas Monkhouse but probably Dutch, mid to late 18th centuryThe five pillar twin fusee movement striking the hours both at the hour and again on a smaller bell at the half hour, with verge escapement regulated by small lenticular bib pendulum, alarm sounding on the larger bell and fine symmetrical foliate scroll engraved backplate, the 8 inch brass break-arch dial with false bob over calendar apertures and shaped silvered plaque engraved Tho's Monkhouse, London to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fine foliate scroll engraved half hour markers and Arabic five minutes outside the Dutch style arcaded minute ring, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and foliate scroll cast spandrels incorporating Strike/Not strike switch at nine o'clock, the arch with rolling moonphase calibrated for age of the moon to the outer edge of the disc and with solar mask and armillary sphere engraved lunettes to lower margin, the inverted bell top case with hinged carrying handle above cavetto top mouldings, the front with applied raised mouldings bordering the glazed dial aperture and scroll pierched frets to the upper quadrants of the front door, the sides with circular over concave topped rectangular glazed side windows, the rear with break-arch glazed door set within the frame of the case, on shallow cavetto moulded skirt base with squab feet, 48cm (19ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiaries of the estate of a private collector, Wiltshire.Condition Report: Movement is in fine clean working condition (including the alarm) with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The striking sounds the full hour on the smaller bell and then again at the hour and the larger bell at half past the hour; normal practice is for the clock to sound on the larger on the hour and the smaller at the half hour hence, if this preference is preferred, adjustments to the strike lifting/trip mechanism will need to be made.The dial is in fine clean condition.The case is in fine condition and of nice colour having slight rubbing/wear to the ebonised finish throughout. The only notable faults with the case is a shrinkage crack to the right hand side and section of moulding is detached from one of the rear feet but is present with the clock. Clock has a winder but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A George III brass mounted mahogany quarter-chiming table clock with concentric calendarThe dial signed for James Tregent, London, circa 1775The six pillar triple fusee movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum, chiming the quarters on a graduated nest of eight-bells and sounding the hours on a further larger bell, the backplate engraved with rococo scrolls around an oval cartouche centred with a rosette beneath a basket of flowers, 8 inch brass break-arch dial inscribed James Tregent, London concentric calendar scale to the silvered centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring, with pierced blued steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath subsidiary STRIKE/SILENT selection dial flanked by conforming mounts to arch, the bell-top case with hinged brass carrying handle and pineapple finials to superstructure over cavetto top mouldings and raised border moulded break-arch glazed front door incorporating scroll cast brass upper quadrant frets and repeating rosette cast brass mounts to angles, the sides with circular over concave-topped glazed apertures and the rear with break-arch glazed rectangular door set within the frame of the case, on cavetto moulded skirt base with cast brass ogee bracket feet, 51cm (20ins) high. James Tregent is recorded in Britten, F.J.Old Clocks and Watches & Their Makers as a famous maker who worked in London from 35 Strand in 1775 and then at 29 Cranborne Street, Leicester Square by 1780. He was appointed an honorary fellow of the Clockmaker's Company in 1781 and became watchmaker to the Prince of Wales. Tregent and was intimate with Garrick, Sheridan and other notabilities of the theatre, Kelly refers to him as 'Mr. Tregent the celebrated French watch maker' and relates how Sheridan by attributing his proverbial unpunctuality to the lack of a timepiece obtained from Harris, proprietor of Covent Garden Theatre, a watch of Tregent's make. The Duke of Sussex paid him £400 for a repeater and alarm travelling watch; a bracket clock by him was in the in the Wetherfield collection, and another with Battersea enamel dial (possibly made by his brother the enameller Anthony Tregent) was in the Schreiber collection.Condition Report: Movement appears to be complete and essentially all-original with no obvious evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The verge escapement appears to be the original configuration and there is no evidence in the plate to suggest an earlier conversion to anchor. The movement is in working condition however a precautionary service is advised. The dial is in good condition with visible faults limited to repaired minute hand and slight overall mellowing/tarnishing to the silvered areas. The fact that only the dial is signed for James Tregent suggests that the current clock was supplied by another maker for retail by him rather than being made in his own workshops.The movement and dial appears original to the case and the case is in fine condition and of good colour exhibiting minor shrinkage to mouldings and veneers, and light historic bumps, scuffs and other minor blemishes commensurate with age. The mounts are a little rubbed/discoloured in places.Clock is complete with winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French gilt brass gorge cased calendar carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarmProbably by Jules Brunelot, Paris for retail by Conrad Felsing, Berlin, mid 19th centuryThe two train eight-day bell striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and alarm sounding on the same bell, the backplate stamped with trademark B within a circle to lower left hand corner and with oval retailer's mark CONRAD FELSING, HCF-UHRMACHER, BERLIN to centre, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial inscribed CONRAD FELSING, Hof Uhrmacher, BERLIN to centre and with blued steel moon hands over subsidiary alarm setting dial flanked by day-of-the-week and date-of-the-month subsidiaries, the gilt brass bevel-glazed gorge case with hinged carrying handle over oval top glass and ogee top mouldings with complex angles, on conforming ogee outline skirt base, 15cm (6ins) high.Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands.The trademark stamped to the lower left hand corner of the backplate of the current lot (letter B within a circle) is noted in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as possibly being for Jules Brunelot although no evidence has been found to confirm this.The Berlin firm of Conrad Felsing could trace their roots back to Conrad Voltzing whose family had been making clock since 1733. In around 1820 the family relocated to Berlin and Conrad changed his name from Voltzing to Felsing. He was subsequently joined by his son, Albert Karl Julius (who later changed his name to Conrad) and the business grew to become established as one of the leading retailers of clocks and watches in the city. Records indicate that the firm was still trading in 1936 but it is believed not to have survived the Second World War. The case of the current lot appears to be an early version of the gorge case with crisp multi-piece ogee top mouldings. According to Charles Allix (see Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development page 165) the gorge case was 'current by 1867' however as the current case appears to be an earlier variant (having more complex primary top mouldings etc.) it would be reasonable to suggest that it was probably made closer to 1850. This belief is further supported by the fact that the clock strikes on a bell rather than a gong.Condition Report: Movement is in clean condition with no obvious evidence of alteration, repairs or significant replacements. The going and strike trains are fully operational including the repeat function however the repeat button is missing and the lever that arrests the fly is catching causing a buzzing noise when the strike train is running (probably very straightforward to rectify whilst movement is out of the case.

As previously mentioned the push-button for the repeat is lacking and there is also a slight scratch to the case top panel near the front edge.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine French engraved pierced fretwork panel inset gilt brass anglaise riche cased petit-sonnerie striking carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarmLe Roy and Fils, Paris, circa 1900The 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 silvered platform lever escapement, alarm sounding on the smaller gong the backplate with enamel Arabic numeral alarm setting dial to centre and stamped with serial number 7072 to the lower left hand corner of the backplate, the dial with gilt brass foliate scroll pierced centre within cream enamel Roman numeral chapter ring inscribed LE ROY & FIS, 52 NEW BOND STREET, MADE IN FRANCE, PALAIS ROYAL, PARIS and with blued steel hands within fine bright-cut engraved and pierced bird inhabited foliate strapwork rectangular mask with angled fillet outer border, the frosted gilt brass bevel-glazed anglaise riche case with spiral reeded baton to the hinged carrying handle over thick top glass, complex moulded cornice and fluted frieze, the angles with fluted three-quarter columns incorporating copper finished Corinthian capitals and the sides with fine bird inhabited foliate pierved and engraved blind frets set behind bevelled glasses, the rear with further conforming infill centred with a Classical urn to the back door, on generous cavetto moulded skirt base incorporating shallow block feet, the underside with Silence/Sonnerie selection switch, 18cm (7ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The firm of 'Le Roy and 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 in turn was 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 a partner Louis Leroy (apparently no relation to the founders of the firm). In 1899 the firm left Palais Royal and moved to Boulevard de La Madeleine where it continued trading in the hands of various successors until well into the 20th century. The fine quality pierced and engraved gilt brass panels of the current lot coupled with the robust anglaise riche design result in clock very much geared to the English taste with its overall feel and quality reminiscent of examples originating from the Leading London workshops.Condition Report: The movement appears complete and all original with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The going train is currently not running however the mainspring appears sound and the escapement undamaged hence probably just requires a service (oil has probably dried/out and become a little sticky). The strike train is operating as it should including the repeat button and silence lever to underside. The alarm is currently not tripping but the barrel will wind; the setting dial to the backplate also has some very light hairline cracks to the enamel.The dial is in fine condition with no visible damage or restoration. The case is also in fine condition with no apparent wear to the gilding no visible chips to the glass, blemishes are very much limited to a few tiny light surface bruises.Clock has a winding key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine engraved gilt brass oval grande-sonnerie striking calendar carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarmDrocourt, Paris for retail by Tiffany and Company, third quarter of the 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 silvered platform lever escapement, alarm sounding on the smaller gong and stamped with serial number 16444 to the lower left hand corner of the backplate beneath stamped oval DC trademark for Drocourt, the dial with fine rococo scroll engraved rectangular mask enclosing an inset white enamel Roman numeral hour disc indistinctly inscribed ..FFANY &..., PARIS to centre and with blued steel moon hands over conforming alarm setting dial flanked by further day-of-the-week and date-of-the-month subsidiaries to lower margin, the substantial engraved satin gilt oval case with hinged arched carrying handle over fine rococo scroll border engraved top and repeating hatched panel decorated top mouldings, the front and sides with thick curved bevel glass panels set into border-engraved frames and the rear with conforming pin-hinged door, on ogee profile skirt base adorned with bands of repeating leaves over linked cartouche panels on a matted ground, the underside with STRIKING/SILENT/FULL STRIKING selection lever, 15cm (6ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. Pierre Drocourt is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development with further additions and corrections from research undertaken by Leigh Extence (available online) as born in 1819 and setting up in business as a clockmaker in Paris in 1853. He initially worked from Rue Limoges (later called 28 Rue Debelleyme after the rationalisation and merger of Streets in 1865), Paris and was succeeded by his son, Alfred (born 1847), in 1872. The blancs roulants, rough movements, were made in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont, a town outside Dieppe, where Drocourt had workshops until their sale in 1904, being premises purchased from Holingue frères in 1875 who had previously supplied Drocourt. The firm was awarded numerous international exhibition medals and mentions including Silver in Paris 1878 and Gold in 1889.The current lot is a particularly fine example of Drocourt's work having both grande-sonnerie striking and calendar work, which, coupled with being housed in a fine engraved oval case, befits a clock destined to be retailed by Tiffany.Condition Report: The movement is in clean condition with no visible signs of alteration or significant replacements. The clock is running and the quarter and hour strike will operate correctly when the repeat button is pressed but not during normal running where it only seems to currently operate grande-sonnerie on the hour and half-hour. The calendar is operational however the date-of-the-month hand appears loose on its arbor so will not advance with it; the calendar also advances at 6am. The alarm mechanism is operational however is six hours out of sync with the hand. From this the movement would appear to be in sound condition but requires relatively minor adjustment to allow all functions to operate correctly. The dial has a slight scuff/blemish to the centre (only visible on close examination hence not disfiguring in anyway) and the retail signature is rubbed otherwise is in fine condition with no other visible faults. The case is in fine condition with no apparent wear/discolouration to the gilt finish or chips to the glasses.Clock is complete with a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
