A rare first half of the 17th century first period 'potato head' lantern clock with rare half-hour strikeUnsigned Surmounted by four squat urn finials above turned Doric columns on inverted acorn feet. The narrow chapter ring with single line border, slender Roman hours, fleur de lys half-hour markers and an inner quarter hour track set on a dial plate with floral engraved corners and an inner ring of six flowerheads, the one directly below XII further engraved with a so-called 'potato head'. The movement now with a pendulum-driven verge escapement, the striking train unusually with passing strike on the half hour via a small hammer, and full strike on the hour via a larger hammer; the hour hammer with tapering steel upright spring with fettled foot.(Evidence of the original balance wheel escapement still visible on the top plate. Bell strap, bell, frets, doors, pendulum, weights, alarm-disc and alarm work now lacking). 32cms (12.5ins) highFootnotes:The passing half-hour strike system employed in the current lot may well be unique, to the best of our knowledge no other such system has been recorded. The two different strikes are both activated by the twelve-point star wheel on the back of the hour wheel - the hour strike is set off in the usual manner, but thirty minutes later, the same tooth runs against the tapered tail of the half-hour hammer and activates it on passing. The large return spring for the half hour hammer is secured by it's foot which is friction fitted and hammered over into the front bar. The front bar is furthermore of note in having an increased width around the great wheel pivot point, a practise sometimes used by Ahasuerus Fromanteel. The 'ring of roses' dial design was popular in the First Period of London production. The additional human face depicted in the uppermost flowerhead was used by a smaller group of makers including William Bowyer, Henry Stevens and John Cattle, but other unsigned examples are also known.

A RARE FRENCH GILT BRASS KEYLESS PETITE SONNERIE CARRIAGE CLOCKBY LE ROY & FILS, LATE 19TH CENTURYthe brass eight day movement with repeat and alarm mechanisms, the silvered platform lever escapement wound via a handle to the underside, stamped 'Le Roy & Fils, Patent No.9501, chiming the quarters on two gongs and the hours on one gong, the backplate and underside stamped with the serial number '11223', the enamelled dial with black Roman hours above an ivorine subsidiary alarm dial, the serpentine gorge case with Corinthian column corners, with bevelled glass enclosing fretwork panels and a hinged handle, a 'Silence Sonnerie' lever to the underside, with its original burgundy leather bound travelling case inscribed under the cover 'Le Roy & Fils, 57 New Bond Street, London, Made in France', the underside gilt stamped '11223' (2)11cm highCatalogue Note Keyless or bottom winding clock movements were an innovation patented by Le Roy et Fils. The going and striking trains are wound alternately by winding the fixed key first in one direction and then the other. This avoids the need for a separate key and also enables both winding functions to take place at once. For a full discussion, see Alix and Bonnert, Carriage Clocks, their History and Development, pp.219-221, they state that 'examples with bottom-winding seem without exception to have been prior to the year 1900. Perhaps significantly, the 57 New Bond St. address, with or without the Palais Royal, will usually if not always be found on bottom-winding clocks.'
