An unusual padouk wood musical alarm table clock. Berguer London, probably early 19th century. The five pillar twin chain fusee movement with verge escapement and alarm playing a choice of two peels or a lively melodic tune on eight bells, the backplate engraved with an urn within a rococo scroll cartouche and decorative border incorporating leafy sprays to angles, with a 7 inch brass break-arch dial with alarm disc to the matted centre and blued steel hands within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed Berguer, London to lower edge the angles with female mask and scroll pattern spandrels beneath arch with CHIME/SILENT dial flanked by conforming scroll cast mounts, in a case with brass carrying handle to a moulded panel following the profile of the break-arch top with brass pineapple finials, the front door with ebonised fillet mouldings to the glazed aperture and brass inset angles, the sides with circular foliate scroll engraved brass sound frets above concave-topped windows, on moulded base with brass bracket feet, 39.5cm (15.5ins) high. Four makers with the surname Berguer (probably brothers) are recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London during the first quarter of the 19th century; Frederick 1805-24, John 1809-24, Francis (Holborn) 1820 and Joseph 1820. Two generations of makers with the same surname are also recorded working in Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland during the 18th century hence it is probable that the London-based makers at the start of the 19th century were first generation immigrants. The fact that the signature to the chapter ring suggests that the maker of the current lot was probably an immigrant may account for the unusual specification of the movement (which plays music as an alarm only) as well as the individual nature of the detail design of the case. These variations perhaps echo those seen on clocks made in London by an earlier generation of Huguenot immigrant makers working during the early years of the 18th century.

An extremely rare Charles II brass miniature lantern timepiece with original balance escapement and alarm. Unsigned, circa 1680. The posted movement with brass balance regulated crown wheel escapement and separate alarm mechanism fitted to the inside of the iron backplate sounding on a bell mounted within the domed bell bearer above, the frame with ball feet, column corner posts and vase turned finials, the dial with rosette decorated silvered alarm disc and original iron hand within engraved band of foliate tulip sprays incorporating monogram AM to upper margin, the applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised wheatear half hour markers and quarter divisions to inner track, with dolphin pattern pierced frets, the rear with iron hoop and spurs for wall hanging (side doors lacking), 24.5cm (9.5ins) high. The current lot is extremely rare in that it still retains its original brass balance wheel escapement; although a small handful of full-size lantern clocks that retain their original balances are known, the cataloguer is not aware of another documented example of a miniature lantern clock surviving with its original balance wheel escapement intact. On close examination it can be seen that the dial engraving was originally laid out with the intention to leave a space for the signature of the maker within the upper margin of the centre, however, as it seems that the clock was to be supplied unsigned, the engraving was finished with the insertion of a flowerhead within this space. This inserted flowerhead incorporates the monogram AM (to the upper left lobe) which suggests the dial may have possibly been engraved by Abraham Martin who is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as an engraver from Geneva who was made a Free Brother of the Clockmakers’ Company in September 1682. Abraham Martin was a well-connected specialist workman who undertook work for Thomas Tompion (a watch dating to 1683 with case engraved by Martin resides at the Ashmolean Museum), he is also recorded receiving a gift of a month longcase clock from his friend, Richard Street, who was also known to have produced work for Tompion. It is perhaps interesting to further note that Tompion took in (through W. Dent) an apprentice named Jeremiah Martin in 1680. Fine quality movement details (notably the steel arbors incorporating delicate turned collets and the rare original steel wedges inserted into both the balance and alarm bottom potances) coupled with the fine engraving suggests that the current lot was made in the workshops of one of the leading London makers at this time; it is a shame that the decision was made to supply it unsigned. However the combination of these and other certain distinctive features, such as opposing steel and brass pulley cheeks and lugs riveted to the underside of the top plate for securing the movement bars, may assist to offer an attribution to a particular workshop with further research.
