A fine French engraved gilt brass gorge cased carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm Aubert and Klaftenberger, Geneva, late 19th century The eight-day bell striking movement with gilt platform lever escapement and signed Aubert & Klaftenberger, Geneve to lower margin of backplate, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with fine blued steel trefoil pierced hands and repeat signature to centre above subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the fine foliate scroll engraved gilt gorge type bevel-glazed case with hinged carrying handle, 13.5cm (5.25ins) high excluding handle. The partnership between the London based C.J. Klaftenberger and G.F. Aubert of Geneva was created in 1835. From around 1845 the firm was often commissioned by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to supply watches to be presented as gifts. They were commended by the Jury for their contribution to the horological section of the Great Exhibition in 1851 and were granted the Royal Warrant in 1859.

A rare brass travelling clock case and dial Unsigned, second half of the 18th century, the movement later The current French eight-day backwound movement with platform cylinder escapement, the original 2.25 inch brass break-arch dial with concentric panel and rosette engraved centre within an applied Roman numeral chapter ring with arcaded minute ring and Arabic five minutes, the spandrels with conforming engraved borders beneath arch with applied convex boss decorated with a basket of flowers, the brass break-arch case with hinged carrying handle to the foliate pierced and engraved silk-backed arched top above raised rectangular glazed side panels, on small bun feet, 10.5cm (4.25ins) high. The style of the dial engraving and chapter ring of the current lot suggests that the dial and case are of probable German or Austrian manufacture, and was probably made with a short duration fusee movement with alarm. A similar travelling clock resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (accession number 29.52.18, .19).

A George III brass small hook and spike wall clock John Lee, Cookham, circa 1760 The posted single-handed weight driven movement with anchor escapement and alarm housed within the frame sounding on a bell mounted above the top plate, the 6 inch brass break-arch dial with alarm setting disc and pierced steel hand to the leafy scroll engraved matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with lozenge half hour markers, the angles with mask and scroll cast spandrels beneath silvered boss signed John Lee, COOKHAM flanked by conforming mounts, the rear with iron hanging hoop and spurs fitted to the backplate, 21.5cm (8.5ins) high. John Lee is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Cookham from 1759 to circa 1800. A black japanned tavern clock by John Lee was offered in these rooms sale of FINE CLOCKS, BAROMETERS & SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS 7th September 2010 lot 99.

An unusual George III small spring driven alarm timepiece John Monkhouse, London, circa 1760 The five pillar single chain fusee movement with verge escapement and alarm mounted behind the dial sounding on a bell mounted above, the plates measuring 4.25 high and 3 inches wide and applied with dust shutters to top and sides, the single sheet silvered Roman numeral dial measuring approximately 5.25 inches by 3 inches with alarm disc to centre and blued steel hands within chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, within foliate strapwork engraved spandrels and signed J.n.o. Monkhouse, London to the ogee outline arch above, now mounted on a cavetto moulded mahogany base, 15cm (6ins) high. John Monkhouse is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London 1756-71. From the evidence of his surviving work, which includes several quarter chiming and musical longcase clocks as well as a miniature grande-sonnerie longcase clock, he was a fine and inventive maker. The current lot was probably designed as a travelling timepiece (a spring-driven alternative to a miniature weight-driven lantern alarm timepiece), and was probably originally supplied with a fitted wooden case for protection whilst in transit.

A fine and well documented William and Mary brass lantern clock Thomas Veale, Chew Magna, dated (16)92 The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with verge escapement and short bob pendulum swinging outside the frame to the rear, the dial with central vestigial alarm disc concealing an area of practice engraving with initials TV above 92 and further inscribed Clean`d Feb. 19, `3, `94 within symmetrical foliate tulip engraved infill and with pierced brass hand within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers, the angles engraved with bands of concentric brickwork, the `Bristol` frame with one-piece column turned corner posts beneath lion and unicorn armorial engraved and pierced frets, integral multi-knopped tall vase-and-cover turned finials and domed bell bearer, with brass side doors, iron backplate and hanging hoop above spurs to rear, on tall disc-knopped ball feet, 40cm (15.75ins) high. Thomas Veale`s dates are collated in Loomes Brian Lantern Clocks & Their Makers page 307 where it is noted that; - `Bellchambers records his freedom at Bristol in 1652. Moore records him as being of Bristol in 1660 when he was a bondsman to a marriage. George White records his marriage at Chew Magna 1656 to Charity Plaister. He was working to at least 1697. He left sons John and James, but no clocks are yet recorded by them`. The current lot utilises frame castings that were favoured by the Chew Valley school of clockmakers with the earliest surviving dated example made by Edward Webb of Chew Stoke in 1676 (private collection). Several other clocks by Webb are known with dates ranging from 1678-93, with all of the documented examples sharing the same frame castings. These castings were also used by Edward Bilbie of Chew Stoke (who is believed to have succeeded Edward Webb in around 1695) for his earlier lantern clocks, long after Bristol makers had tended to opt for castings more closely related to London work of the period. The on-going use of this pattern of frame suggests that they were cast locally, perhaps initially by Edward Webb at his foundry in Chew Stoke (which was just over a mile from Thomas Veale`s home at Denny Farm, Chew Magna), then by the Bilbie family after Webb`s death in 1694. Of Thomas Veale five lantern clocks are documented, with all but one dated and made within the timespan 1692-7. All these examples share the same basic frame castings and are signed with the initials TV either behind the alarm disc or chapter ring. These examples can be found and compared in the following sources; White, George English Lantern Clocks page 230 fig. V/35 (undated example), page 231 figs. V/36 (the current lot) and V/38 (dated `97 -detail of dial only). Bruce, Bill and Hooper, John EARLY ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCKS 1615-1700 page 50 (dated 1692). Darken, Jeff and Hooper John English 30 Hour Clocks page 92 figs. 2/66 and 2/67 (dated `95). All of the four dated examples share similar engraving executed with scrolling foliage issuing from a central point at the base of the dial centre, continuing symmetrically around the alarm disc and terminating with a central flowerhead motif at the top. The angles are decorated with the same concentric brickwork infill. The undated example (White, George English Lantern Clocks page 230 fig. V/35) departs a little from the above similarities by incorporating larger more abstract scroll-work towards the lower margin of the dial centre and terminates with a female mask at twelve o`clock. It is perhaps interesting to compare this example with those made by Edward Webb during the 1680`s which tend exhibit the same basic design within the engraving; which was strongly influenced by the work of Thomas Brown of Bristol during the 1650`s (see White, George English Lantern Clocks page 232). From this observation it would be perhaps reasonable to suggest that the undated example is probably the earliest surviving example of his work and may pre-date 1680. The current lot also exhibits an unusual insight into clock ownership during the 17th century. The dial centre is inscribed clean`d Feb.19, `3, `94 indicating that it was common practice at this time to send a clock back to the maker for cleaning on an annual basis. This detail adds yet further interest to what is a fine and original well documented example of a 17th century Chew Valley lantern clock.

A Fine Charles II brass lantern clock Thomas Wheeler, London, circa 1685 The posted countwheel bell-striking movement now converted to anchor escapement with long pendulum, the dial engraved with continuous band of scrolling flowering tulip foliage around vacant centre formerly fitted with an alarm disc, with original iron hand and applied Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and leafy infill to angles, the standard London third period `Lothbury` frame with column turned corner posts beneath engraved and pierced dolphin pattern frets signed Tho: Wheeler neare ye french Church to lower front margin between vase turned finials and with domed bell bearer above, the sides with original plain brass side doors, on turned ball feet, (alarm removed), 40cm (15.75ins) high; with a later oak wall bracket. Provenance: Purchased by the vendor from Philips Fine Art Auctioneers in 1978 having belonged to the former owner for around 40 years. Illustrated in Cescinky, Herbert & Webster, Malcolm R. English Domestic clocks page 61 (fig. 36) where it is described as being in the possession of Percival Griffiths Esq. Thomas Wheeler is recorded in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers as apprenticed in 1648 to Nicholas Coxeter and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers` Company in 1656. He became Assistant from 1674, Warden from 1680 and was appointed Master in 1684. His last record of attendance was in 1694 and is thought to have died between 1695 and 1701, when his widow received charity from the Company. The introduction of the verge escapement with short bob pendulum to lantern clocks presented difficulties to makers with regards to the positioning of the alarm mechanism. Traditionally, on balance wheel clocks, the alarm was placed to the rear on the outside of the backplate. However on a pendulum clock this position is likely to conflict with the preferred position of the pendulum. One solution to the problem was to relocate the pendulum within the frame, either at the rear or between the trains in the centre of the movement; with latter being the option preferred by many London makers during the 1680`s including John Ebsworth, Richard Ames as well as Thomas Wheeler. Another option was to relocate the alarm within the frame to the rear, this solution was preferred by West Country makers such as Edward Webb of Chew Stoke. The current lot, however, takes a novel approach with alarm being originally mounted halfway through the backplate, with the pulley positioned within the frame (holes for the lines to exit are still visible in the bottom plate) and the crownwheel and hammer assembly positioned outside. The alarm would have been fitted on a pivot post fitted to a curved iron bridge which would have been riveted to the backplate. The current lot has a relatively early and neat conversion to anchor escapement but with an unusually large escape wheel of 52 teeth, pallets spanning 12 teeth, and pendulum with effective length of 46.5 inches. This layout results in a pendulum beating slower than a standard seconds period pendulum and with very small amplitude. The most logical reason for this unusual arrangement is that the clock was to be housed in a tall narrow `longcase` at the time of conversion, this would also probably account for the hanging hoop and spurs being removed at that time.

A William and Mary brass lantern clock With signatures for both Thomas Colpeas, and John Maer, Richmond, circa 1690 The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with verge escapement and pendulum swinging within the frame of the clock between the trains, the dial engraved with script Tho: Colpeas towards the upper margin of the dial centre and with flowering tulip scrolling infill beneath, the centre with alarm disc and original iron hand within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and engraved John Maer, Richmond to lower edge, the standard London third period `Lothbury` frame with column turned corner posts beneath foliate engraved and pierced frets, vase turned finials and domed bell bearer, the sides with plain brass side doors, the rear with iron hanging hoop and spurs fitted to the iron backplate, on turned ball feet, (alarm removed), 39.5cm (15.5ins) high. The current lot is an almost textbook example of a `third period` London made lantern clock with classic `Lothbury` pattern frame and pendulum swinging between the trains. Both signatures, however, do not appear to be recorded as makers working in the London area at this time. Thomas Colpeas is apparently unrecorded and a John Ma(y)ers is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Richmond, Yorkshire, circa 1770. The most likely explanation for the probable discrepancies with these names is that the current lot was possibly bought-in/ordered from a London maker for retail locally (Yorkshire perhaps) by Thomas Colpeas in around 1690 (see White, George English Lantern Clocks page 204). The clock could have been subsequently acquired by John Ma(y)ers who may have had his signature added before selling it on.
