Provenance: the property of a Gentleman, Oxfordshire. The current lot is a `family` piece which to the vendor`s knowledge has been in been in the family collection for as long as anyone can recall (at least three generations). John Wise senior is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as born circa 1625 and apprenticed to Peter Closon through T. Dawson in 1638, gaining his Freedom in October 1646. He apparently lived in Warwick 1653-68 where he repaired the clocks at St. Nicholas and St. Mary`s churches, the latter providing the venue for the baptism of three of his children. He moved back to London in 1669 where he was re-admitted to the Clockmakers` Company by redemption. He took many apprentices including no less than six of his sons; Richard (Free 1679), John (Free 1683), Thomas (Free 1686), Joseph (Free 1687), Peter (Free 1693) and Luke (Free 1694). He is thought to have been working from `neere the popeshead in Moorfields` in the year of his death in 1693. Although several early longcase and lantern clocks by John Wise senior are known, table clocks however appear to be extremely rare. Perhaps the best known example is an unusual single-handed timepiece is illustrated in Darken, Jeff HOROLOGICAL MASTERWORKS pages 82-3. Despite obvious differences, this timepiece does share some similarities with the current lot, for example the wheel-work has the same finned-collet design and the stopwork has the same pronounced disc cam to the fusee. The case also utilises the same highly individual casting for the carrying handle albeit in a more complete form. The movement of the current lot is of notably substantial construction, which although in itself is not particularly unusual for the period is noteworthy. The detail design and layout of the movement is perhaps more interesting in the way that it does not immediately conform with the prevalent Fromanteel/Tompion/Knibb and East/Jones schools of clockmaking. The backplate layout with its external clicks, positioning of the countwheel, and the way in which the movement is signed is perhaps more similar to a movement by Matthew Crockford (with altered dial and associated architectural case) which was sold at Sotheby`s London Important Clocks.. 13/10/1988, lot 211. The Crockford movement also shares the same number of movement pillars, has maintaining power, calendar aperture and is of similar dimensions. The double baluster movement pillars used on the current lot are similar in weight and detail to the single baluster design used by Edward East (see Dawson, Percy G., Drover, C.B. & Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks page 86, plate 106) but differ by being doubled to compensate for the greater relative distance between the plates. The vertically pivoted hammer used on the current lot is an unusual, perhaps archaic detail. The case very closely resembles those used by Joseph Knibb for his `phase I` clocks and can be directly compared to an example illustrated in Dawson, Percy G., Drover, C.B. & Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks page 418, plate 596.
