A FRENCH GILT BRASS CANNELEE CASED REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH ALARMRETAILED BY BOXELL OF BRIGHTON, CIRCA 1875The eight-day two-train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance and alarm mechanism sounding on the hour gong, the inside of the frontplate stamped 14125 and 22-9 and the rear stamped again 22-9 to the lower left hand corner, the rectangular white Roman numeral dial inscribed BOXELL to centre and with blued steel moon hands over Arabic subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the frosted gilt brass cannelee case with hinged carrying handle over oval top glass, trip-repeat button to front rail and channel-moulded uprights, on ogee-outline base.13.25 (5.5ins) high with handle down, 9cm (3.5ins) wide, 8cm (3.125ins) deep. Thomas Boxell is recorded in Looms, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Brighton 1855-78.  The escapement platform of the current lot can be closely compared to one fitted to a grande sonnerie clock by Henri Jacot (number 825) illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKs, Their history and development on page 114 (Plate V/14). Furthermore the 'Hands' setting text and arrow stamp to the backplate of the present clock has strong similarities to those seen on clocks by Jacot as sketched on page 442. It is therefore possible that the present clock was supplied by Jacot for retail by Thomas Boxell.Henri Jacot is recorded by Allix as working from 31 Rue de Montmorency, Paris as well as possibly having a factory in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont. The business was awarded Bronze Medals at the Paris 'Exposition' in 1855 and in London 1862; Silver in Paris 1867, 78 and 89 and Gold, again in Paris, 1890. Although Charles Allix notes that Henry Jacot senior died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew of the same name further research by Leigh Extence has revealed that after his death Henri's business was actually continued by his brother Julien who was essentially only 'keeping the bench warm' until his son, and Henri's nephew Albert, was able to take over and move the concern forward in 1874. The business is thought to have continued until around 1920. Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is in fine condition with blemishes limited to a couple of sight scratches and minor edge chipping to the enamel which is not visible except on very close examination from an abnormal angle. The case is in very good condition albeit with minimal rubbing to the gilt finish. The front glass has a small chip to upper left hand corner (again only visible on close examination) otherwise there are no visible chips to the glasses.Clock does not have a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A CHARLES II BRASS LANTERN CLOCK WITH CENTRE-SWINGING PENDULUMJOHN EBSWORTH, LONDON, CIRCA 1670The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with separately wound trains and verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum with anchor-shaped flukes positioned at the centre between the trains, the dial with central rose decorated Arabic numeral alarm disc enveloped by stylised leafy tulip sprays issuing from a three-petal flowerhead positioned just above six o'clock and with signature John Ebsworth at y'e (crossed keys motif) Lothbury Londini fecit to upper margin, with iron hand within applied narrow 6.25 inch Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised wheatear half hour markers and engraved leafy infill to angles, the standard London third period frame with column turned corner posts beneath dolphin inhabited foliate pierced frets, vase turned finials and domed bell bearer, the sides now with hinged brass doors applied with sector-shaped box projections and the rear with iron backplate fitted with external alarm mechanism, hanging hoop and spurs (escapement and alarm mechanism reinstated, no weight present).39.5cm (15.5ins approx.) high.26.5cm (10.5ins) wide including wings, 20cm (8ins) deep including spurs. John Ebsworth is recorded in Loomes, Brian, LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers as apprenticed in 1657 to Richard Ames and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1665. He is believed to have succeeded Thomas Knifton at the Cross Keys in Lothbury but later worked at 'New Cheap Side'. He served as Assistant to the court of the Clockmakers' Company in 1682, Warden in 1694 and was appointed Master in 1697. Ebsworth died in 1699 appointing Edward Stanton to oversee his Will. John Ebsworth was clearly heavily influenced by his master, Richard Ames, who was possibly the first to embrace the introduction of the verge escapement with short bob pendulum by placing the pendulum between the trains (this layout allowed the alarm mechanism to be retained at the rear of the clock). Ebsworth also adopted this system for his pendulum lantern clocks however it seems that he continued to make balance wheel regulated clocks alongside them. This was probably due to the fact that pendulum clocks were more expensive (due to the amount of additional work to build a clock with centre swinging pendulum) hence balance wheel clocks were perhaps marketed as a less expensive model whose timekeeping was probably more than adequate for most.  The current lot is a textbook example of Ebsworth's work and typifies London third period practice using frame castings developed probably just prior to 1660 (see White, George English Lantern Clocks page 180 figures IV/37 - IV/39 and lot 153). The design of the dial engraving had almost become completely standardised by this time and can be directly compared examples by the likes of Nicholas Coxeter, Richard Ames and Thomas Wheeler made during the 1660's-70's. An almost identical but unrestored example by Ebsworth was sold in these rooms 15th September 2015 (lot 156) for £6,000 hammer. Condition Report: The contrate wheel, escape wheel and respective potances are restorations as the clock had been previously converted (contrate wheel arbor appears original) to anchor escapement with long pendulum swinging at the rear. The backplate and alarm mechanism are restorations as are the projections applied to the side doors (door panels themselves are probably original). Otherwise movement appears fundamentally original and is in clean working condition with some historic re-bushing and a repair to the centre collet of the strike train locking wheel. The dial is in good condition although the hand and alarm discs are restorations. The frame is in fine condition, the frets appear original; the bell is probably a replacement.Clock has rope line, pulley and a weight but will require the rope ends joining in order to be set-up correctly with 'endless rope' winding. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY SMALL TABLE/BRACKET CLOCK WITH SILENT VERGE ESCAPEMENT AND ALARMJOHN TAYLOR, LONDON, CIRCA 1800The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with verge escapement incorporating sprung pallets regulated by lenticular bob pendulum with holdfast to the backplate, the alarm powered via a line-wound external standing barrel applied to the upper left hand corner of the movement and sounding via a vertically pivoted hammer on the hour bell, the geometric border engraved backplate signed John Taylor, London to an oval cartouche to centre, the 6 inch single-sheet silvered brass arched Roman numeral dial with alarm setting disc and signed John Taylor, LONDON to centre within Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll-pierced steel hands beneath subsidiary foliate trail decorated STRIKE/SILENT selection dial to arch, the break-arch case with hinged brass carrying handle over dupont and cavetto top mouldings and arch-glazed front door incorporating brass fillet mouldings to the aperture and rounded brass stringing to leading edges, the sides with arched brass fish scale sound frets and the rear with arch glazed door set within the frame of the case, on cavetto moulded skirt base with brass ogee bracket feet.33cm (13ins) high with handle down, 24.5cm (9.75ins) wide, 18cm (7ins) deep. Several makers with the name John Taylor are recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working around 1800 including one apprenticed in 1796 and another working in Clerkenwell 1805-24. The provision of an alarm together with a 'silent' escapement indicates that the present clock was most likely made principally for use in a bed chamber. Traditionally table or bracket clocks were made the intention to be used upstairs at night and then taken downstairs during the day. This is the reason why carrying handles are normally fitted and repeat-work often incorporated (to allow the time to be ascertained during hours of darkness).   Condition Report: Movement is in fine clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements, The dial is in fine condition; the hands are possibly well-made replacements. The case is in very good condition with noticeable faults limited to some minor front-to-back shrinkage cracking to the curved top, and some historic small patch repairs to the veneer overlap of the rear door as well as to the lower edge of the left hand side fret aperture. Faults otherwise appear to be very much limited to minor shrinkage and a few historic bumps and scuffs etc.Clock is complete with pendulum, winder and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A PRUSSIAN GILT AND SILVERED BRASS HORIZONTAL TABLE CLOCK WITH PUSH-BUTTON REPEAT AND ALARMFR. SIEDE, DARKEHM, THIRD QUARTER OF THE 18TH CENTURYThe movement with four cylindrical pillars pinned through the backplate, the fusee going train with verge escapement regulated by sprung three-arm balance with Tompion type regulation, the rack strike train with standing barrel and striking on a bell fitted within the bottom plate of the case, the alarm also with standing barrel and sounding on the same bell, the backplate with symmetrical radial scroll pierced and chased balance bridge set beside a regulation disk with lattice engraved centre and steel pointer for adjustment between R and A annotations beneath engraved signature Fr. Siede, Darkehm to upper margin, the 2.5 inch square brass dial with Arabic numeral alarm setting disc to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring incorporating large Arabic five minutes to outer track, with rococo scroll pierced blacked brass hands and radial foliate spandrels incorporating push-repeat button to upper right, the rear of the dial engraved with initials H.S., the case with serpentine outline Dupont moulded edge over scroll-bordered rectangular side windows applied with shaped silvered bezels with canted monopodia to angles between, the base with conforming serpentine outline stepped ogee moulded edge over hinged baseplate fitted with the hour bell to centre and generous canted Baroque S-scroll feet to angles.10cm (4ins) square, 8cm (3.125ins) high. The maker of the present clock does not appear to be recorded in the usual sources however the form and layout of the movement is comparable to an example signed for Johann Ernest Weichenthal, Danzig (Gdansk) which was sold at Andrew Smith and Son, Arlesford, Classic and Contemporary Interiors Auction 13th December 2022 (lot 984) for £4,400. The engraved location name 'Darkehm' is almost certainly a shortened version of Darkehmen, which is the former German name for the town of Ozyorsk located in the Kaliningrad district of modern-day Russia. During the 18th century Darkehmem was part of the Insterburg district of Eastern Prussia and is positioned almost exactly between Gdansk and Vilnius in Lithuania. The strong similarities between the current lot and the example by Johan Ernest Weichenthal of Danzig is notable in that it suggests that a Polish/Prussian regional style had been adopted during the mid to late 18th century. Condition Report: Movement is complete and fully working with no evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements with the probable exception of the bell hammers which may be later. The mechanism is fairly clean and retains gilding to the plates but with some slight bruising/scuffing around the pillar securing pins and overall edge wear etc. The chapter ring was probably originally silvered dial otherwise is in good original condition. The case is in good original condition retaining its original gilding albeit with overall moderate rubbing and wear. The silvered highlights are tarnished/oxidised bur exhibit minimal wear.Generally a good original example in relatively clean working condition. There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN ENGRAVED GILT BRASS BOW-SIDED REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH ALARMPROBABLY BY JULES BRUNELOT FOR RETAIL BY HENRY MARC, PARIS, CIRCA 1880The two train eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by split bimetallic balance and alarm mechanism sounding on the hour gong, the lower left hand corner of the backplate stamped with trademark of B within a circle, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial indistinctly inscribed EXAM'D BY, HENRI MARC, PARIS to centre, with steel spade hands and subsidiary Arabic numeral alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel glazed case with reeded baton-centred hinged carrying handle decorated with leafy sprays to the scroll-shaped side pieces, over oval top glass set within scroll engraved panel borders and incorporating D-shaped side projections, with cavetto cornice over stylised leafy trail engraved plain corner uprights and bowed side glasses, the rear with bevel-glazed door, on ogee moulded base engraved with floral trails within textured line borders.15cm (6ins) high with handle down, 12cm (4.75ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep. 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. Henry Marc is noted by Allix and Bonnert as 'probably a retailer' of various mantel and other small clocks, and refers to a relatively early carriage clock (number 26886) supplied to Marc by Japy Freres.   Condition Report: Movement is complete and appears all original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The movement is essentially in full working order however is generally somewhat dirty/neglected hence a gentle clean/service is required; the platform is missing one of its mounting screws. The retailers signature to the dial is heavily worn and there is noticeable wear to the alarm setting dial otherwise the dial appears to be in fine condition with no other noticeable faults. The case has lost most of its gilding however presents as reasonably clean and the glasses are free from visible defects.Clock has a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

THREE CUT STEEL LANTERN CLOCK HANDSANONYMOUS, MID 17th CENTURY AND LATERThe first circa 1650 with oval boss issuing D-rounded tapered shaft terminating with twin eared loops and a tapered tip opposing tail for setting against an alarm disc, with another more recent but of related design, and a third, also relatively recent, with hexagonal-pierced centre boss issuing faceted shaft terminating with tiered loops opposing a tapered tail, (3).The first 6cm (2.375ins) from centre to tip; 9.8cm (4.825ins) long overall. 

A RARE COMMONWEALTH PERIOD BRASS LANTERN CLOCK RICHARD BECK, LONDON, CIRCA 1655The posted countwheel bell-striking movement now with anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum, the dial with central rose decorated Arabic numeral alarm disc enveloped by stylised leafy tulip sprays issuing from a three-petal flowerhead positioned just above six o'clock and with signature Richard Beck Neere the French, Church Londini Fecit to upper margin, with iron hand within a replaced applied narrow 6 inch Roman numeral chapter ring with floating asterisk half hour markers and engraved leafy infill to angles, the standard London third period frame with column turned corner posts beneath armorial foliate pierced frets, vase turned finials and domed bell bearer, the sides with hinged brass doors and the rear with hanging hoop and spurs (originally with balance wheel regulation, no pendulum or weight present).40cm (15.75ins) high, 15cm (6ins) wide, 19.5cm (7.75ins) deep including spurs. Richard Beck is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born circa 1632 and apprenticed to John Selwood in 1646. On Selwood's death in 1651 Beck continued his apprenticeship under Thomas Loomes gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1653. In 1855 he married Elizabeth Gilbert at St. Benet Fink with whom he had three children. Richard Beck was a Parliamentarian who supported Fromanteel and Loomes rebelling against the Clockmaker's Company in 1656. Sadly illness brought Beck's life to an end at a premature age; he died in May 1659 leaving his wife and three young children.  Richard Beck's working life only lasted six years and coincided with the short-lived English Commonwealth period (1649-1660). Despite his short-lived time at the bench Loomes notes that at least five lantern clocks by him are known; his work therefore provides us with a concise 'snapshot' of lantern clock production during this short period of time. The present clock is perhaps of notable interest in that it utilises classic 'third period' Lothbury frame castings hence is probably one of the earliest clocks to do so, whilst the dial engraving follows 'second period' style with stiffer/stronger hatching to the elements. Indeed the dial engraving can be compared to that on a 'second period' clock by Henry Ireland illustrated in White, George English Lantern Clocks on page 158 (Figure III/69), and the frame conforms to castings featured on page 180 (Figures IV/37 and 38). 

A FINE SWISS ORMOLU EIGHT-DAY GRANDE-SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING PENDULE D'OFFICIER WITH ALARMCOURVOISIER AND COMPANY, LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS, CIRCA 1820The circular five pillar triple-train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of bells and sounding the hour every quarter on the larger of the two, the going train with large horizontal platform lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance planted to the apex of the plates, and the alarm with pull-wind standing barrel and sounding on the smaller bell, the backplate with visible hour and quarter strikework and stamped with serial number 1183 to lower left hand margin, the 4.25 inch circular slightly convex white enamel dial inscribed Courvoisier & Comp'e to centre within vertically orientated Arabic hour numeral chapter ring and incorporating conforming quarter annotations within the outer minute track, with steel moon hands and third straight alarm setting hand set behind a convex glazed hinged engine-milled gilt brass bezel decorated with band of lappet leaves to interior within a ropetwist outer border, the case with hinged leaf decorated scroll-cast handle to the concave-sided superstructure surmounted by a band of ogee-outline lappet leaves and applied with twin cornucipiae to front and laurel wreaths to sides, over simple shallow-arch projecting pediment and further compressed laurel wreath mounts to lower angles, the sides adorned with lyre motifs and the rear with circular hinged door inset with a repeating flowerhead decorated grille fret, on lappet leaf cast ogee moulded shallow skirt base with hairy paw feet, the underside with three-position selection lever annotated Grande Sonnerie/Petit Sonnerie/Silence. 22cm (8.75ins) high with handle down, 15cm (6ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep. Provenance:The property of a private collector. Previously sold at Christies, King Street sale of THE COLLECTIONS OF PRICIPESSA ISMENE CHIGI DELLA ROVERE AND A NOBLE GENOESE FAMILY 4th February 2015 (lot 192) sold for £3,750. The Courvoisier family of clockmakers partnership between Louis Courvoisier (1758-1832) and his father-in-law Captain Louis-Benjamin Robert (1732-1781) was established in 1781. In 1787 Robert died leaving his share of the business in control of his widow, Charlotte. This arrangement continued until 1811 when Louis Courvoisier took his son, Frederic Alexander took in his son to form 'Courvoisier et Cie'. The current lot is a fine textbook example of an early design of pendule portative termed 'Pendule d'Officier'. Although this form of portable timepiece originated during the 1780's they apparently became popular during the period of the Napoleonic wars, particularly amongst the officer class, hence the term 'Pendule d'Officier'. The Courvoisier family were the leading makers of this type of portable timepiece during this period and became important in the establishment of carriage clock making industry in the Chaux-de-Fonds region of Switzerland.A clock of related design by Courvoisier and Companie is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS on page 19, (Figure 1.24); the present lot is particularly notable in that it is of eight-day duration rather than the usual thirty-hour. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The clock is running and the grande-sonnerie striking is fully operational including the selection lever to the underside. The alarm will wind but tripping is erratic hence requires adjustment. The dial has been restored to repair chips and cracks which were previously present mostly around the winding holes. The case is in fine original condition retaining original gilding albeit with some wear/rubbing and slight discolouration to the extremities.Clock is complete with a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
