An exceptional late 18th century French gilt and patinated bronze pendule à cercle tournant timepiece dated 1780Lepaute, ParisThe case surmounted by a 5 inch spherical gilt globe engraved with a map of the world and displaying the time at the equator via twin horizontal rotating bands, the uppermost with 12 white enamel five-minute Arabic cartouche numerals, over 24 larger Roman cartouche numerals (12 with black numerals on a white ground to denote daytime, 12 with white numerals on a black ground to denote night-time), the globe draped in a midnight blue metal cloth studded with brass stars, a flying cherub below holding a flaming torch to indicate the time; all supported on a crisply cast Corinthian reeded column on an octagonal base. The rectangular movement set within the column and accessed via a door to the font, with pin-wheel escapement driving a vertical arbor via a contrate wheel up into the globe, the striking via an outside countwheel strike on a bell. Signed along the lower edge LE PAUTE. H.ger DU ROI APARIS 1780. Together with a winding key and Insurance Certificate from J. Kugel, Antiquaires, Paris dated 1996. 16 wide x 16 deep x 42 high (6in wide x 6in deep x 16 1/2in high)Footnotes:The Lepaute family is rightly regarded as one of the foremost horological dynasties working in 18th century France. Perhaps the best known member is Jean-André Lepaute (also spelled Le Paute), born in 1720 in Thonne-la-Long, a small town in north-eastern France. Lepaute was one of nine children, who were supported by their father, a farrier. Lepaute served his horological apprenticeship in the nearby town of Carignan, before moving to Paris in 1740. He immediately established a workshop, which was evidently prosperous as he encouraged one of his younger brothers, Jean-Baptiste, to join him in 1747, around which time the workshop was well known for making turret clocks. Two years Jean-Andre married Nicole-Reine Étable de la Brière, who was a celebrated astronomer and savant. In 1759, she helped to predict the path of Halley's Comet and was described as 'a human calculator'. She was also responsible for any horological calculations needed in the workshop (e.g. pendulum oscillation, etc.). Two years after his marriage, Lepaute invented a clock which worked with only one wheel; he presented this to Louis XV, receiving the commendation of Horologist to the King. He also developed modifications to the double virgule escapement in 1753 although this caused controversy when another horologist, Pierre Augustin Caron, insisted he was the original maker. The Academie Royale des Sciences initially agreed that Caron was the original inventor, though this decision was later reversed and both were deemed to have created the escapement independently of one another. In 1755, the elder Lepaute published his Traité d'Horlogerie, with Nicole-Reine helping with the calculations. He was named maître in 1759, with Jean-Baptiste becoming maître in 1776, and he became increasingly involved with the Galeries du Louvre, where both he and Nicole-Reine had lived since 1756. Around this time, he appears to have left Jean-Baptiste to manage the workshop. Throughout this period Nicole-Reine continued to publish astronomical papers and contribute chapters to astronomical books, including a widely circulated table in 1764 for the calculation of the solar eclipse occurring on 1 April. In 1774, Jean-Andre Lepaute formally retired from the workshop, and both he and Nicole-Reine moved to St. Cloud. He died in 1788, a year after his wife. Jean-Baptiste retired in 1789, leaving the workshop to his two nephews, both of whom were trained horologists. Jean Baptiste died in 1802, though the Lepaute workshop carried on under first the two nephews, and then their descendants, until 1952. The Lepautes supplied clocks to some of the most prestigious sittes, including the Luxembourg Palace in Paris, the Palais Royal and the Military Academy in St. Hubert, among others. In addition to turret clocks, the workshop produced a multitude of mantel clocks, usually with a figural bronze case, often featuring characters from Ancient Greek or Roman mythology. A version of the globe clock was offered for sale from their workshop in 1766 for 2,500 livres; one of the costliest mantel clocks they produced at that time.

An important mid 18th century French ormolu-mounted kingwood and rosewood centre seconds longcase clock of one month duration, with equation of time, time of sunrise and sunset, phases and age of the moon, calendar, sign of the zodiac and temperature compensated pendulumJulien Le Roy, Paris. The case stamped A. Dubois. The case with waisted hood over a shaped trunk with ormolu-mounted shaped glazed lenticle, on a tapering base and plinth with outswept feet, mounted with elaborate foliate scrolls to the front and rear edges, with boldly cast bands of acanthus and other motifs between the case sections. Stamped on the inside top sill of the base by the case maker A. Dubois. The 11 inch circular dial signed across the centre, Julien Le Roy with silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring, the half-hours marked by meeting-arrowheads, with outer minute band and inner quarter hour band, set with twin chamfered apertures - between VII and VIII the time of sunrise is automatically shown, the time of sunset is shown between IIII and V. The gilt and engraved dial centre is decorated with an engraved trellis pattern and three shaped apertures: the top shows the age and phase of the moon, the rolling silvered moon and stars showing against a painted background; the central aperture gives the date and number of days in the month, and the lowermost aperture depicts the changing signs of the zodiac as the year progresses. The full annual calendar is engraved on an 8.5 inch silvered dial set just below the main dial and is connected at the rear to a brass kidney which dictates the equation of time information. The time is shown via two elaborately pierced and engraved silvered hands. A blued steel hand with engraved sun at its tip gives solar time, another with counterbalanced end shows running seconds. The weight driven movement united by five tapering pillars pinned through the backplate. The going train of five-wheels with high-count pinions terminating in a pin-wheel escapement. The movement is topped with a heavy steel horizontal plate connected at the right hand side to a pair of substantial vertical steel rods running down into the body of the clock and flanking a movable brass cylindrical rod (with fine screw adjustment at its base); the pendulum is suspended from a pivoted horizontal steel arm which is in contact with the tip of the cylindrical brass rod at one end, and with a sprung arbor connected to the thermometer hand by a silk thread at the other. The bases of the steel and brass rods are set on a shaped brass piece running across the inside of the trunk which in turn also carries an arbor for the thermometer hand mounted in the front door. As the ambient temperature changes, the steel and brass set-up automatically raises or lowers the pendulum, while at the same time shows the temperature on the silvered thermometer dial set into the trunk. The strike train with an outside countwheel and sounding on a bell via a horizontal steel hammer set on a vertical arbor, its speed dictated by a shaped brass fly. 55cm wide x 31cm deep x 218cm high, (21 1/2in wide x 12in deep x 85 1/2in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceGalerie Neuse, Bremen, 1995. Julien Le Roy (1686-1759) was regarded by his contemporaries as perhaps the most influential horologist of his era. He was a superb craftsman as well as a scholar who contributed the section on horology to the Encyclopédie. He was eulogized by Voltaire as the man responsible for the 18th century pre-eminence of French clock making.Born in Tours and trained by his father, Le Roy arrived in Paris around 1700. He is generally thought to have served as journeyman to the Parisian horologist, Charles Le Bon. Le Roy received his freedom in 1713 and, shortly after, set up a workshop in the Rue de Harlay, off La Place Dauphine, where the most eminent 18th century Parisian clockmakers also worked. In 1717 he presented an equation clock to the Royal Academy of Sciences, which showed the true time, the place of the sun and its declination. In 1739, Julien Le Roy was appointed valet de chambre, horologer du Roi, and granted premises in the Louvre, which he maintained in addition to his atelier in the rue de Harlay. Le Roy's son Pierre (1717-1785) succeeded his father and devoted the latter part of his career to the Longitude problem and the development of marine timekeepers.Adrien Dubois is recorded as having worked in rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, first as the foreman in the important workshop founded by Bernard Van Risenburgh I, maître before 1722, (better known by his stamp BVRB). The father and grandfather of Bernard II and III, Bernard I specialised in making clock cases. Adrien Dubois lived with Bernard and his family above the workshop, and when Bernard died in 1738 the probate inventory listed a very large number of both finished and un-finished clocks, clock cases, pedestals and clock brackets, many of which would have been made by Dubois. Three years after his master's death Adrien finally received the accolade of maître ébéniste. As well as clock cases, Dubois and his family were famed for restorations and adaptations of earlier 'boulle-work'. A console table believed to be partly from the workshop of André-Charles Boulle can be seen in the Victoria & Albert Museum, accession number: 1021:1 to 3-1882.Another case stamped 'A.DUBOIS' was sold at Sotheby's, New York, Property from a Distinguished American Collection, 2 February 2019, lot 763.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP Y* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
