Late Victorian/early 20th century gilt brass engraved eight day strut clock with calendars by Vasel London in style of Thomas Cole The case profusely engraved with scrolling foliage all over, pivoted handle, with fixed winding key and pivoted strut to the rear, shuttered fast/slow and calendar regulation apertures. The silvered dial has floral engraving, and subsidiary dials for day and date. The Swiss movement marked Doxa. The clock marked internally "W Vasel London" 7" high; 5" wide; 1.25" deep HISTORICAL NOTES An important Victorian maker, Vasel is recorded working at several addresses in London from 1886-1907. Strut clocks were first designed and popularised by the great Victorian carriage clockmaker Thomas Cole (1800-1864) and derive their name from their rear pivoted strut support. Cole first conceived the idea in the mid 19th century and these clocks were the mainstay of his business until his death in 1864. They gained their popularity from their flatness, or thinness, as they were more portable than the square bulk of traditional carriage clocks. Although with slight variations a very similar clock was sold at Christies on 20th November 2009 lot 6. Another was sold again at Christies, 14 June 2000, lot 4.
