A GEORGE III BLACK CHINOISERIE JAPANNED EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKROBERT POLL, HARLESTON, CIRCA 1760The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and bright-cut bordered recessed slivered subsidiary seconds disc to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minute beyond the minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a silvered boss engraved Rob't Poll, HARLESTON within herringbone border flanked by conforming mounts, in a black japanned case with gilt repeating scroll decorated box upstand over architectural moulded cornice, stylised torch motif painted upper quadrant panels and break-arch glazed door decorated with gilt foliate scroll to frame and applied with three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular windows within leafy spray decorated surrounds and with conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding painted with foliate scrollwork panel, over break-arch door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with Oriental figures and pavilions within an Arcadian garden landscape and complex edge mouldings, within scroll painted surround incorporating upper quadrant panels matching those of the hood, the sides painted with large leafy sprays, the plinth base with decorated cavetto top moulding over conforming landscape panel to fascia, on moulded skirt base incorporating bracket feet with gilt decorated shaped apron between.234cm (92ins) high, 54cm (21.25ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep. Robert Poll is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Wissett, Suffolk and Harleston, Norfolk up until 1771. Condition Report: Movement is in dirty condition but was running in the vendors house at the time of consignment. The mechanism appears essentially all original with no visible evidence of alteration. The dial is in good original condition; the finishes have a pleasing age-mellowed appearance. The movement has its original seatboard but there is packing beneath suggesting the movement is not original to the case. The case is generally structurally sound and will respond very well to not a huge amount of work. The top board of the hood is currently detached, the hood columns have some worm damage (localised and non-active). The trunk door has some losses to the original raised decoration and crazing to the surface. The rest of the case exhibits fairly extensive Edwardian restoration with the sides re-panted and the plinth rebuilt incorporating face panel which may be original but with much overpainting. The feet are Edwardian.Generally an attractive example ripe for being 'revived'. Clock is complete with pendulum, two weights, case key and crank winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

The dome is in good original condition.Clock has a pendulum and winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN IMPRESSIVE GEORGE III GILT BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY PRECISION LONGCASE CLOCKWILLIAM POULTON AND SON, LONDON, CIRCA 1785The substantial five pillar rack and bell striking movement with shouldered plates, the going train with Harrison's maintaining power and deadbeat escapement regulated by seconds pendulum with steel rod and wide jaw 'T-bar' suspension, the 13 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and applied shaped silvered plate signed Will'm Poulton & Son, Watchmaker to his Majesty, the King of Spain, London to the finely matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a subsidiary Strike/Silent selection dial flanked by conforming mounts, the figured mahogany case with concave-sided 'pagoda' superstructure fronted with a shaped rococo scroll cast gilt sound fret over break-arch cavetto cornice, conforming gilt arched fret infill and brass stop-fluted columns with Corinthain capitals flanking the hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with rectangular brass fish scale sound frets and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with geometric 'block top' arched door fronted with flame figured veneers within complex mouldings flanked by brass stop-fluted Corinthian quarter columns, the plinth base with concave top moulding over raised shaped panel to fascia, on moulded double skirt.253cm (99.5ins) high excluding top finial, 57cm (22.5ins) wide, 27cm (10.5ins) deep. William Poulton is recorded in Baillie, G.H.

A silent-pull quarter repeating table timepiece signed for William and Alfred Poulton, again inscribed 'Watchmakers to the King of Spain', is also known.Provenance: From a private collection in Northamptonshire Condition Report: Movement is in complete original condition with visible alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is essentially in working condition but is a little dirty/neglected with some surface rust to the steelwork. Therefore a gentle clean and service will be required. The dial is in very good condition with only a couple of very small spots of oxidation. The movement and dial are fitted to the original seatboard which rests essentially undisturbed onto the cheek uprights of the case confirming that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is in fine original condition. The hood is free from any notable faults and generally has minimal shrinkage. The rest of the case is similar fine condition. The face of the lower tier of the skirt has veneer detached form the left-hand side and section off to the front right hand corner; the sections are present so should be a simple case of re-attaching. The bases of the quarter columns are giltwood rather than brass hence may well be replacements. Faults are otherwise very much limited to minor age-related shrinkage and other minimal blemishes.Generally a very original clock in extremely good clock that just generally need a service and gentle 'reviving'. Clock has heavy pendulum, pair brass-cased weights and a crank winder (no case key).  Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III SILVER PAIR-CASED VERGE QUARTER-REPEATING POCKET WATCH WITH SWEEP CALENDAREARDLEY NORTON, LONDON, LATE 18th CENTURYThe gilt full plate single fusee movement with four cylindrical pillars pinned through the backplate, stop-iron block and verge escapement regulated by brass three-arm balance with Tompion type regulation, the quarter repeat-work operated by a plunger to the suspension post sounding the hours via a pivoted hammer striking on a bell set which the rear of the inner case, followed by two rapid blows for each quarter via a second hammer sounding on the same bell, the backplate with fine symmetric foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with wedge-shaped matted-ground relief engraved foot, flanked by silvered regulation disc set within adjacent conforming applied scroll engraved panel infill opposing signature Eardley Norton, London and serial number 28847, the slightly convex circular white enamel Roman numeral dial signed EARDLEY NORTON, LONDON to centre within concentric inner date-of-the-month track and with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with gold spade hour and minute hands a wavy calendar indication hand, the inner case with continuous engraved and pierced geometric bordered leafy band to circumference and plunging suspension post fitted with a bow at twelve o'clock, the outer case with finely moulded rim and bezel surround, (both cases unmarked, the inner with conforming serial number 28847).The pillar plate 3.8cm (1.5ins) diameter; the inner case 5cm (2ins) diameter; the outer case 6cm (2.375ins) diameter. Eardley Norton was thought to have been born into a farming family from Rigsby, Lincolnshire, however he was apprenticed as a clockmaker 25 May 1743 to Robert Dawson of Alford. Latterly he moved to London where he is listed as working at 49 St. John's Street, Clerkenwell between 1760 and 1794. He was member of the Clockmakers' Company being freed in 1770 and remained a member until his death in 1792. He applied for a patent for a new type of striking mechanism for both clocks and watches on 31 August 1771. Norton enjoyed Royal patronage being perhaps best known for his silver mounted four-dial astronomical clock (made in collaboration with James Ferguson F.R.S.) commissioned by George III for Buckingham House (later Palace) which still remains in the Royal Collection (RCIN 30432). He married Mary Swinnerton of Oswestry and later retired to Stonegrove House (no longer existing), Little Stanmore, Middlesex, in the parish of Whitchurch. On his death, his business was taken over by the partnership of Gravell and Tolkien. He is buried at St. Lawrence's church in Little Stanmore. Condition Report: Movement appears complete and essentially in sound original just about working order, however the escapement beats erratically and a little fast suggesting that the balance spring is either detached or missing. The repeat work will operate but is lazy in its action and struggles to complete the cycle and the hands are currently out-of-sync. The mechanism is a little dirty/dry indicating that a gentle clean/service is required however the original gilding is sound with minimal wear or scuffs/scratches. The dial is loose and has a tiny edges chip above the XI and near the IIII numerals otherwise visible faults are very much limited to slight surface scratching; hands are in good original condition. The inner case has some noticeable wear/rubbing/indenting around the waist (where it has rubbed against the inner collar of the outer case). The centre of the rear has had replacement threaded insert for mounting the bell fitted at some point. There is also a small hole (possibly for a thumb piece?) to the waist at 6 o'clock and a small notch within the bezel at 8 o'clock which appears original/intentional but purpose is unknown. The outer case has some slight denting and overall light wear otherwise is in good original condition.There is no winding key included. Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE FRENCH GIILT BRASS QUARTER-REPEATING CALENDAR CARRIAGE TIMEPIECE WITH ALARMCHARLES OUDIN, PARIS, CIRCA 1830The going and push-plunger repeat trains laid-out in the manner of a pocket watch with duplex escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance and sounding the hours and quarters on a graduated pair of coiled gongs on demand only, set within the frontplate of the four-pillar rectangular movement incorporating cocked going barrel to facilitate eight-day duration over alarm mechanism sounding on a bell mounted within the base of the case, the gilt backplate with winding squares for the going and alarm trains, regulation adjustment and signed CH'S OUDIN, PALAIS ROYAL 52, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial also signed CH'S OUDIN, PALAIS ROYAL 52 to centre and with blued steel hands over subsidiary date-of-the-month and alarm setting dials to lower margin, the case with hinged faceted scroll-shaped carrying handle over canted moulded edge top incorporating a push plunger for the quarter-repeat towards the leading edge, the front with bevel-glazed rectangular door flanked by canted angles, the sides with conforming glazed panels and the rear with gilt door, on cavetto moulded skirt base with canted angles.12cm (4.75ins) high with handle down, 8.2cm (3.25ins) wide, 7cm (2.75ins) deep. Charles Oudin was a highly notable watchmaker who initially worked, alongside his cousin Joseph, under Abraham-Louis Breguet who held them both in high esteem. In 1801 Oudin established himself at 65 Galerie de Pierre and is noted as working from various addresses nearby 1809-11 before settling at Palais Royal, 52 in 1812. He participated in the Exhibitions of the Products of French Industry in 1806 and 1819 and was awarded medals for 'a watch that was wound by the pendant' and 'a watch with moon phases and synodic months' at the former. At the 1819 exhibition, the firm also exhibited, among other things, an 'equation watch with an ingenious system' which was also favourably received. Charles Oudin retained his connection with the Breguet workshop often inscribing 'élève de Breguet' alongside his signature. In June 1836 the business was passed onto his son, Charles Raymond, who continued producing fine-quality timepieces before selling the business to fellow watchmaker, Amédée Charpentier, in 1857. The firm then traded under the name Oudin-Charpentier into the 20th century. Condition Report: Movement is in full working order with the repeat work operating/counting correctly with good positive action. The alarm and calendar mechanisms are also operating correctly. There is no visible evidence of alterations or noticeable replacements. The dial has a very small hairline crack issuing from the centre hole for the hands and another longer crack to the lower right edge continuing up through the alarm dial, these can only be seen on very close examination. The centre lower edge also has two short hairline cracks which are more noticeable. There are no losses to the enamel and the appearance of the more visible cracks could no doubt be reduced by a dial restorer. The calendar hand does not match the others hence may be a replacement. The case is in good condition with no visible damage to the glasses and defects limited to a few very slight edge bumps to the brass mouldings. The gilding is generally thin causing the brass beneath to oxidise resulting in overall moderate discolouration to the finish.Timepiece does not have a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKJOHN COTTON, LONDON, CIRCA 1695The five finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 11 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and winged cherub mask and foliate scroll cast spandrels to angles, the lower margin of the dial plate with engraved signature Iohn Cotton in ye Strande, in a case with later domed caddy superstructure over architectural entablature and hinged glazed dial aperture incorporating floral marquetry decoration to surround and flanked by three-quarter columns to the front angles, the sides with rectangular windows and bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with ebonised ground grotesque mask-centred floral trail decorated convex throat moulding over 41.5 inch rectangular door inlaid with an architectural urn within bird inhabited flowering foliage into an ebonised ground, centred with an oval lenticle and with half-round edge mouldings set into a herringbone inlaid surround, over base with stepped ogee top moulding and conforming floral marquetry panel within herringbone border to fascia, on shallow moulded band and ogee bracket feet.196cm (77ins) high excluding later superstructure and feet, 223cm (88ins) high overall, 48cm (19ins) wide, 25.5cm (10ins) deep. John Cotton is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born circa 1669, apprenticed to Charles Lowndes in 1683 and gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1695. Loomes notes that Cotton paid quarterage until 1697 and is thought to have died the following year. His son of the same name was apprenticed to Edward Comins, a shipwright of Woolwich, London. Condition Report: The movement is essentially in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is a little dirty/dusty hence requires a clean and service. The dial is in good clean condition with only a couple of light blemishes to the matted decoration to the centre only. The movement rests on a replacement seatboard with packing to the cheek uprights indicating the movement and dial are not original to the case. The case is structurally sound and retains all its important elements including good long backboard continuing down well into the plinth (has some shrinkage cracking and a couple of small patch repairs to the panel). The sides are also in good condition retaining almost all of their original length. The case has however seen some historic 'updating' and requires overall work. The caddy is a 19th century replacement as is the entablature moulding and hood columns. The sides of the hood have lost their veneers and rear quarter columns. The hood door has one small loss to the marquetry otherwise is in good condition. The throat moulding has some losses/flaking and historic filling to the marquetry, the trunk door also has s a few similar localised losses to the marquetry and some filling mostly to cracks near the top and bottom margins (due to shrinkage between the door panel and the clamps applied at each end). The trunk door lock is a replacement and there is a veneer patch repair to the escutcheon area. The sides of the case have a scumbled stain finish over the original veneers which appear sound; an attempt to clean back this finish has been made to the lower rear right causing patchiness. The base top mouldings have shrinkage cracking and some historic worm damage. The plinth retains its original marquetry panel which is in similar condition to the rest of the marquetry. The lower edge of the plinth appears to have been reduced slightly and applied with later moulding and ogee bracket feet. The side veneers of the plinth re in sound condition; the banding around the front panel has chips/losses and repairs. The plinth is a little out of square in relation to the trunk causing the clock to lean a little when the plinth is stood square on the ground. Otherwise faults to the case are essentially limited to age related bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and a few small localised repairs.Clock is generally a sound restoration project and has a pendulum, pair of brass cased weights and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y&nbspA FRENCH REGENCE BOULLE BRACKET CLOCK WITH WALL BRACKETANDRE HORY, PARIS, CIRCA 1725The rectangular five shouldered baluster pillar twin going barrel outside countwheel bell striking movement with verge escapement for regulated by pendulum with silk suspension, the backplate signed Andre Hory A Paris to lower margin, the 10 inch circular twelve piece cartouche numeral dial cast in relief with vases of flowers with Berianesque strapwork inhabited by a pair of opposing portrait bust medallions to centre, within chapter ring with blue-on-white Roman hour numerals within rococo borders and every minute numbered to outer track, with sculpted steel hands and enamel cartouche signed A HORY, A PARIS set within scroll cast apron beneath, the engraved cut brass and brown shell marquetry veneered case with cast ormolu surmount modelled as winged Fortuna set on the outswept superstructure decorated with brass foliate strapwork scrolls into a cut shell ground, the front with palmette-centred arched gilt crest terminating with acanthus scrolls issuing leafy pendants at the shoulders, over gilt brass-framed moulded arch-glazed door cast with scene of Amphitrite aboard a chariot holding a trident, enclosing marquetry veneered decoration to the inside surface of the rear door over a radial-lozenge tiled floor, the surround decorated with leafy scrolls within line-edged border, the sides with tall shaped-arch brass-fillet edged windows capped with scallop shell mounts set between marquetry panel veneered upper and lower margins, the rear ebonised and with single panel door, on generous scroll cast feet incorporating with shaped foliate scroll decorated apron between; the conforming ogee-shaped wall bracket with gilt-edged marquetry veneered cavetto upstand to the rectangular table over repeating leaf edge mounts and arcade decorated cavetto moulding forming the lip, and generous cherub mask angle mounts flanking premier-parti marquetry decoration to front and sides, the base terminating with inverted acanthus caddy with conforming pendant finial, (movement part dismantled).The clock and wall bracket 134cm (52.75ins) high, 50cm (19.75ins) wide, 26cm (10ins) deep overall. Andre Hory is recorded in Britten, F.J. Old Clocks & Watches AND THEIR MAKERS as working in Paris circa 1700-50. Britten notes a fine boulle-work bracket clock at the Pal de Pau, Paris; also a watch with six hour dial in the Gelis Collection and a repeating watch in the Ilbert Collection. Condition Report: Please not amendment to the report below (in block capitals) 23/02/2023. Movement is complete and appears essentially all original including the escapement although the crutch and pendulum are replacements. THE TRAINS HAVE BEEN RE-PINIONED USING THE ORIGINAL WHEELS; THIS REPAIR WAS TRADITIONALLY DONE TO ADDRESS PINION WEAR. The strike train second wheel, hammer pin wheel and fly are currently out of the movement but are present and appear undamaged. The under dial work is present for both motionwork and strike release. Once the detached elements are put back there is nothing to suggest movement that the movement wouldn't run (although the integrity of the strike mainspring has not been tested). The movement is generally a little dirty/neglected so a clean/service is required. The dial is in fine original condition retaining old gilding with a nice rich tone which would seem to only require a wash. The XII numeral cartouche and the name plate have some very light hairline cracks and the VII numeral is currently detached but undamaged. The hands have light oxidation. The case is in very good original condition but is presently very dusty/dirty. There is overall light lifting and movement to the brass marquetry but with surprisingly few losses. A couple of small pieces have been 'caught' hence are lifted and bent but overall the veneers are in good untouched condition and are very intact. The inside surface of the rear door has slight movement/cracking down the centre causing a couple of tiny losses to the shell but none to the brass. The inside base panel is missing a couple of wooden 'tiles' but the all the brass ones are present. The mounts are all present and are very nice quality. They are in good condition retaining old gilding with patchy oxidation/dirt. The bracket is a perfect fit for the clock but the marquetry is contra-parti and differs a little in style from the rest of the case. These is more significant lifting as well as some localised replacements and historic pinning. The mounts are in similar condition but perhaps slightly more discolouration and degradation of the gilding than those on the clock.Clock has later pendulum and a winder but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKWILLIAM UPJOHN, EXETER, CIRCA 1765The four pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum. The 12 inch brass break-arch dial with bright-cut bordered recessed subsidiary silvered seconds ring and arched calendar aperture to the foliate rococo scroll engraved centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minute beyond the minute track and signed William, Upjohn, EX, ON to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hands and 'twin-bird-and-urn' scroll cast spandrels to angles, beneath arch centred with a silvered boss engraved with a Ho-Ho bird over banner inscribed TEMPUS FUGIT flanked by conforming dolphin cast mounts, the case with box upstand over break-arch architectural cavetto moulded cornice, scroll-pierced arched fret and hinged glazed dial aperture applied with three-quarter columns with cast brass Corinthian capitals to front angles, the sides with small rectangular windows and quarter columns to the rear edge, the trunk with concave throat moulding over wavy-top caddy moulded rectangular door flanked by rounded angles, on plinth base with ogee top mouldings over raised caddy moulded panel to fascia and bracket feet.227cm (89.5ins) high, 52cm (20.5ins) wide, 28cm (11ins) deep.  William Upjohn senior is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Exeter 1741-87. Clive Ponsford in TIME IN EXETER adds that he lived in a house on South Hill Street and married an Anna Reeve at Holy Trinity Church on 11th September 1736. The marriage produced thirteen children of which at least four sadly died. Their eldest son, Thomas, together with another son, William junior, subsequently followed their father into the clockmaking trade. Ponsford records his death and burial in St Mary Major churchyard on 14th December 1768. Condition Report: The movement is clean working condition wand appears all-original with no visible alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is also in clean condition but with some slight oxidation to the silvering. The minute hand has been repaired. The movement retains its original seatboard which rests direct on the cheek uprights of the case indicating that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is generally in very sound original condition however has been repolished at some point which has now aged to exhibit some variances in colour which may benefit from attention from furniture finisher. The caddy probably had a caddy or other superstructure fitted onto the top box and the feet are replacements otherwise faults are very much limited to minor shrinkage and a few historic bumps and scuffs.Clock is complete with Pendulum, two weights, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

FRENCH LOUIS XV STYLE PATINATED AND GILT BRONZE MANTEL TIMEPIECE 'PENDULE A L'ELEPHANT'UNSIGNED, CIRCA 1900The eight-day back-wound single going barrel movement with platform cylinder escapement regulated by sprung brass three-arm monometallic balance vertically planted on the backplate, with alarm mechanism also set between the plates sounding on a bell mounted within the right-hand margin, the circular cream Roman numeral dial with subsidiary alarm setting dial to centre and blued steel spade hands, set within a gilt ogee moulded surround fitted with a hinged bevel-glazed bezel, the case modelled in the manner of Jean-Joseph de Saint Germain or Jacques Caffieri with a gilt figure of a monkey wearing a tricorn hat surmounting the patinated bronze drum housing the movement incorporating a friction-fit rear cover and gilt foliage to sides, over support modelled as a stylised elephant with its trunk aloft fitted with a rococo scroll cradle for the movement on its back and incorporating a gilt saddle strap around its waist, standing on a naturalistically cast gilt base incorporating generous rocaille scrollwork.36cm (14ins) high, 27cm (10.5ins) wide, 19cm (7.5ins) deep. The distinctive and particularly attractive design of the current lot is based upon mid 18th century models by the Bronziers Jean-Joseph de Saint Germain (1719-87) and Jacques Caffieri (1678-1755). Condition Report: The movement is complete and appears all-original the going train is wound but is not currently running as the escapement appears to be 'gummed-up' A clean/service may be all that is required to put into working condition. The alarm mechanism also requires adjustment. The dial is paper with overall browning/discolouration. The movement and dial are push-fitted into the case, although the fit is very good it is possible that the present movement and dial are not original to the case. The case is generally in very good condition with bright gilding showing little oxidation and wear. The Monkey is missing something form his left hand (an open parasol?) otherwise case appears free form notable defects,Timepiece has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN UNUSUAL DUTCH GILT BRASS SPRING-DRIVEN HOODED WALL CLOCKT. THOMSEN, AMSTERDAM, THIRD QUARTER OF THE 18th CENTURYThe rectangular four baluster pillar twin going barrel outside countwheel bell striking movement with five-wheel trains and anchor escapement for regulation by a disc-bob pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with scroll engraved half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the arcaded minute track, the lower margin signed T'S THOMSEN, AMSTERDAM, within further generous outer ring engraved with compass rose cardinal points annotated in Dutch N, NO, O, ZO, Z, ZW, W and NW and divided into thirty-two increments, with scroll pierced steel hour and minute hands and pictorial panel-centred scroll pierced cast gilt brass spandrels to angles, the shallow arch with pierced oval silvered monogram panel RWR flanked by conforming rococo scroll mounts, the movement and dial supported via four substantial horizontal posts secured to the backplate via latches onto a brass break-arch panel forming the rear of the case, with lift-off break-arch hood incorporating shallow cavetto cornice and slender rounded angles to the hinged glazed front panel, the right hand side with small pendulum access door, the inverted ogee-shaped base forming a mounded-edge rectangular table for the hood over shaped panels within slender corner mouldings and terminating with a concave-sided pendant, (pendulum lacking).59cm (23.25ins) high excluding hanging eye, 33cm (13ins) wide, 12.5cm (5ins) deep. Thomas Thomsen is recorded in Morpurgo, Enrico Nederlands Klokken - en Horlogemakers Vanaf 1300 as a prominent clockmaker working in Amsterdam circa 1760. He was probably the father of T. Thomson who later lived and worked from 177 Achterburgwal, Amsterdam. A fine walnut quarter-striking astronomical longcase clock by Thomas Thomsen was sold at Christies, London sale of MAGNIFICENT CLOCKS 15th September 2004 (lot 36) for £94,850. The provision of compass rose cardinal points within the outer margin of the chapter ring of the present clock is an unusual and enigmatic feature. The purpose of this is unknown but would suggest that the timepiece was possibly originally conceived to provide an indication of wind direction through to mechanical connection to an external weathervane driving a third hand. Although there is no obvious direct evidence of such a mechanism being incorporated there are a few small spare holes to the both the movement and case which may support this theory.

A GEORGE III BRASS MOUNTED FIGURED MAHOGANY TABLE/BRACKET CLOCK WITH TRIP-HOUR REPEATELLICOTT, LONDON, THE MOVEMENT AND DIAL CIRCA 1765, THE CASE CIRCA 1800The five pillar twin fusee movement with thick plates, leaf-sprung trip-hour repeat and verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum, the backplate engraved with naturalistic scrolling foliage around a central reserve signed Ellicott, London surmounted by a break-arch strap supported basket of fruit beneath shaped backcock apron decorated with conforming stylised floral motifs, the 7.5 inch square single sheet silvered brass dial engraved with Roman numeral chapter ring and Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with fine scroll pierced blued steel hands and signed Ellicott, London to the extremities of the lower margin, the upper left hand-hand upper corner with Strike/Silent selection switch, in a case with bras ball finial to the concave-sided pyramidal superstructure applied to the break-arch top with complex cornice mouldings, the opening front with scroll-pierced brass crescent-shaped fret over 6.5 inch circular convex glazed dial aperture fitted with a generous cast brass bezel, the lower corners with matching quadrant frets and with canted fluted angles, the sides with hinged brass carrying handles over arched apertures with geometric pierced brass fret inserts, the rear with full-width arch-glazed door incorporating fluted canted angles matching the front, on generous cavetto moulded skirt base.52cm (20.5ins) high, 31cm (12.25ins) wide, 20.5cm (8ins) deep. John Ellicott F.R.S. is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as born 1706 to John Ellicott senior, a Cornish clockmaker who had gained his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1696 and died 1733. John junior worked from Swithin's Alley, Royal Exchange, London and was elected member of the Royal Society in 1738. He published works on horology in 1739 and 1753 and is particularly noted for the development of the cylinder escapement and a form of compensated pendulum; he also maintained a private observatory at his home in Hackney. John Ellicott was later appointed as Clockmaker to George III, and took his son, Edward into partnership in 1760 which lasted until his death in 1772.  The movement and dial of the present lot are a 'textbook' example of a type produced by the Ellicott workshop from around 1755, wherein the single-sheet silvered brass dial was set behind a front door incorporating a glazed dial aperture. There are at least a dozen clocks by Ellicott known with near identical movements and dials housed in cases following an earlier style with bell-top superstructure surmounted with a brass carrying handle akin to standard table clocks of the period (see Bruton, Eric The Wetherfield Collection of Clocks for one such example). The signature being just for 'Ellicott, London' would indicate that the movement and dial were made after John Ellicott (F.R.S.) took his son, Edward, into partnership circa 1758. This partnership lasted until John Ellicott's death in 1772. In addition to this, the style of the engraving to the backplate conforms to the earlier type of 'vine engraving' as discussed in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS with two closely related backplates for clocks by David Hulbert and Robert Higgs illustrated on page 352 (Figure 19.5). This type of engraving was phased-out by around 1770 to be replaced by a lighter style of neo-classical influenced scroll design (see ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, page 362, Figure 20.6, for a backplate signed by Ellicott with this slightly later style of engraving). From this evidence the movement and dial can therefore be fairly accurately dated to the 1760's.Conversely the case exhibits elements in its design more indicative of those produced in around 1800. Most notably the detail of a concave sided 'pyramid' superstructure applied onto a break-arch top - a feature which was first introduced in around 1785 (alongside the introduction of 'balloon-shaped cases). This detail was first mostly used in cases with traditional dial formats (e.g. break-arch or full-arch), by makers such as James McCabe senior and Eardley Norton. The crescent-shaped fret over the dial was then subsequently introduced around the turn of the century primarily for use in cases with circular dial apertures. A good example of a case sharing all these features, albeit housing a rare oval dial for clock by Thomas Bannister, London, is illustrated in Cescinsky, Herbert and Webster, Malcolm English Domestic Clocks on page 309 (Figure 348). This example is notable in that it is dated 1801. When all the above is considered it is very unlikely that the movement and dial were made after 1772 and the case is no earlier than 1795. Notwithstanding this the clock is not a 'marriage' as such - as the case was clearly made for the movement and dial but at a slightly later date. This is most likely due to the original owner wanting to update the look of his clock to follow change in fashion.  

AN INTERESTING PROVINCIAL PARQUETRY DECORATED WALNUT SMALL THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCKMAJOR SCHOFIELD, ROCHDALE, CIRCA 1750, THE CASE PROBABLY EARLIERThe four pillar two-handed countwheel bell striking movement with Huygens endless rope winding and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 10.25 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture and dummy winding holes to the rococo scroll and floral spray engraved centre signed Major, Schofield, ROCH,DALE to centre, within applied Roman numeral with foliate scroll half hour markers and large Arabic five minutes beyond the arcaded minute ring incorporating text Tempus Fugit to upper margin, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and applied figural cast 'four seasons' spandrels to angles, in a case with generous ogee cornice and plain frieze over hinged glazed dial surround applied with Solomonic twist three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with small rectangular windows and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with slender rectangular door centred with a 'bullseye' lenticle set a moulded surround between two parquetry star motifs within line-edged crossbanded surround and half-round cross grain mouldings, the plinth base with stepped ogee top moulding over conforming parquetry star-centred decoration to front and moulded skirt.202cm (79.5ins) high, 49.5cm (19.5ins) wide, 27cm (10.27ins) deep. Major Schofield senior is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as born in 1707 and working in Manchester, Salford and Rochdale until his death in 1783, He was succeeded by his son of the same name. The case of the current lot is notable in that the form and design echoes that of London work of around 1680, in particular details such as Solomonic twist columns and rear bargeboards rising up into the cornice to the hood, convex throat mouldings and large parquetry motifs around a lenticle to the trunk (see Robinson, Tom THE LONGCASE CLOCK page 92). This would suggest that either the case is either a late 17th century 'provincial' model following slightly earlier London practice or, if was made at the same time as the movement and dial, was executed in an 'archaic' style. Condition Report: Movement is complete and in reasonably clean working order. The mechanism appears very original with no obvious replacements. The pinions show wear and all wheel above the greatwheels have been moved along the arbor slightly to ensure engagement with a unworn part of the next pinion in the train. This is a traditional sensitive repair to enable the clock be to used without having to replace pinions. The bell and stand appear to be replacements and there is some noticeable hammering around the lower lower right movement pillar to the backplate. The dial is in relatively clean condition and is complete with calendar mechanism. The right hand false winding square has been bent a little to endure correct alignment with its hole and one of the cartwheel spokes has an old rivet repair. The hour hand is a replacement and the spandrel securing screws have been renewed other wise faults are limited to light uneven oxidation.The case is constructed with elm carcass except for the trunk door which is pine. The backboard has a cut just above the top of the throat moulding and a separate section (in elm) also fitted via a lap joint to the inside surface continuing up to dress the rear of the hood. Although this appears to be a later repair the colour of the timber (where visible) as well as the way in which the top of the principal part of the backboard is dressed would indicate that it was done a very long time ago. The seatboard appears equally ancient/original to the movement and is secured to uprights (also in elm) which are applied to the inside of the side of the trunk which terminate at throat level. This detail is very similar in its execution as to the panel applied to the backboard suggesting that they were done at the same time. The back panel and seatboard have an old wash of black paint. The hood is in fine original condition with faults essentially limited to shrinkage cracking and small losses to the sides around the glazed apertures following the lines of the joints within the carcass beneath. The inside rear edges of the hood also have a black wash, the rear edges (behind the bargeboards) have been rubbed back suggesting that the may have been fitted with tongues for rising in grooves cut into the upper part of the original backboard.The trunk is generally in fine condition although the backboard has historic worm damage, losses and splitting towards the lower edge requiring a bracing panel to be fitted over the back pf the plinth. Otherwise the structure of the plinth appears all original and in sound condition with the exception of the skirting which is a fairly recent replacement. There is no evidence to suggest the clock was ever fitted with bun feet. The veneers and mouldings are generally in fine original condition. The left hand side of the trunk has an oval patch insert which was required to fill a scoop cut into the inside surface of the carcass to allow for the pendulum swing. The right-hand side has a similar scoop which is not deep enough to affect the veneers on the exterior. The centre of these scoops is each approximately 7cm below the centre of the lenticle. Otherwise faults are limited to historic small losses to the veneers, relatively light age-related shrinkage and other blemishes. The trunk door retains its original lock and hinges.Clock has a lead weight, pendulum (rod snapped at the junction with the rod block) and a case key.Useful dimensions;Hood - depth between inside edge of frame around dial and the backboard - 15.5cmHood - height between bottom edge of front glass and the upper edge of the seatboard - 6cmHood - dimensions of front glass - 25cm wide, 26cm highHood - height of lower edge of the side glasses from the upper surface of the chin - 13cmHood and Trunk - distance between lower edge of the hood front glass to the centre of the lenticle - 74cm Condition Report Disclaimer

Y&nbspA GEORGE I/II GILT BRASS MOUNTED EBONY TABLE/BRACKET CLOCK WITH PULL-QUARTER REPEAT ON SIX BELLSLODINGTON, LONDON, CIRCA 1730The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with pull-quarter repeat on a graduated nest of six bells and later anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the backplate engraved with Ho-Ho bird inhabited symmetrical foliate scrolls around a central twin-headed eagle, grotesque masks and a basket of fruit, the 7 inch brass break-arch dial applied with oval silvered brass signature plate engraved Lodington, London beneath later shaped plate inscribed TEMPUS FUGIT to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with scroll-pierced steel hands and Indian mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath subsidiary calendar dial flanked by conforming mounts to arch, the inverted bell top case with generous hinged brass carrying handle and gilt brass fillet detail to the superstructure over double cavetto top mouldings and opening front inset with brass fillet mouldings to the glazed dial aperture and to the scroll pierced upper quadrant frets, the sides with brass fillet-edged break-arch windows and the rear with rectangular door set within the frame of the case also with brass fillet mouldings to the glazed break-arch aperture and conforming upper quadrant panels, on cavetto moulded skirt base with moulded squab feet.42cm (16.5ins) high with handle down, 26.5cm (10.5ins) wide, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep. Isaac Loddington is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London 1720-34.  The engraving to the backplate of the present timepiece can be compared to decoration discussed in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass pages 262-71. This style of engraving has roots in French Huguenot immigrant work and of particular note is the inclusion of a 'Green Man' grotesque mask and a double-headed eagle, which may suggest that the clock may have been intended for a client based in central/eastern Europe. The design of the repeat work can be broadly compared to on a table clock by Richard Street described in Dzik, Sunny BENEATH THE DIAL, English Pull-Repeat Striking 1675-1725 pages 417-19. The main differences between the two are that the present clock utilises an internal hour rack planted on the inside of the backplate (rather than on the frontplate) and employs a standard design of quarter rack hook (rather than the unique design incorporating blocking piece to check the strike train whilst the quarters are running). Condition Report: The movement is in full working condition however is a little dusty with light oxidation to the brass hence a gentle clean/service is advised. As catalogued the escapement has been converted from verge regulated by short bob pendulum to anchor regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, hence the third and escape wheels of the going train are replacements of differing design to the original. The backplate has filled holes from the verge potances and the upper edge has an enlarged slot to the allow for the repositioned pallet arbor; the backcock is also a replacement. The strike train and quarter repeat mechanism appear all-original and are in fine condition; the pulley for the repeat mechanism is probably a replacement. The dial now has a plate applied over the false bob aperture fixed via two small feet pinned at the rear. The dial is otherwise in fine original condition with fine quality spandrel castings; the surfaces are generally a little dirty/tarnished and the minute hand is a replacement. The movement is retained in the case bey two later steel securing brackets; the movement and dial were originally secured via a bolt through the base of the case threaded into the movement base pillar (bolt no longer present). The case is in fine condition with faults limited to a small chip to the lower left-hand corner of the left side glass, minor shrinkage a few light age-related bumps and scuffs. Clock has two case keys but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A REGENCY BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY BRACKET CLOCKTUPLING, LONDON, CIRCA 1820The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with shouldered plates and anchor escapement regulated by half-seconds heavy lenticular bob pendulum, the backplate signed Tupling, London above the pendulum holdfast clamp, the circular convex cream painted Roman numeral dial also signed Tupling, LONDON to centre and with repeating loop pierced steel spade hands set behind a hinged convex glazed cast brass bezel, the break-arch case with hinged carrying handle over moulded cornice, the front with raised brass strung lozenge decoration within conforming line-edged panel flanked by further vertical stringing to the angles, the sides with rectangular brass fish scale sound frets and the rear with break-arch glazed door set within the frame of the case, on cavetto moulded skirt base with raised brass string to the fascia over generous ball feet.45cm (17.75ins) high, 28cm (11ins) wide, 16cm (6.25ins) deep. A B. Tupling is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London circa 1820. Condition Report: Movement is in clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or notable replacements although the pendulum holdfast screw appears to be of recent manufacture. The dial finish has been carefully refreshed hence presents well having a nice slightly mellowed colouring to the cream ground as well as some light surface wear in places. The case is generally in fine original condition. The right hand corner of the brass stringing beneath the dial has sprung but should be simple to re-fix into position. The skirt to the left hand side is still attached but the glue is dry and and joint feels weak so it may benefit from being prised-off and re-glued. The inset brass escutcheon panel around the bezel keyhole to the left hand side of the case has probably been enlarged to address veneer wear at some point. There is also a veneer crack beneath the edge of the bezel at VII Otherwise case is in fine original condition with faults limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and movement commensurate with age and use.Clock is complete with pendulum, winder and a case key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III FIGURED MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY PRECISION LONGCASE CLOCKRCHARD WEBSTER, LONDON, CIRCA 1780The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with Harrison's maintaining power and deadbeat escapement regulated by heavy steel-rod seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with recessed subsidiary seconds disc and applied shaped silvered plate signed Rich'd Webster, Exchange Alley, London to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with pierced blued steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a subsidiary Strike/Silent selection dial flanked by conforming mounts, in a mahogany case with concave-sided 'pagoda' superstructure centred with a shaped scroll-pierced fret over break-arch cavetto cornice and fluted free-standing columns flanking the hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with rectangular windows and quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with fine break-arch flame-figured veneered door applied with complex edge mouldings, the plinth base with concave top moulding over raised rectangular panel to fascia and moulded skirt incorporating shaped apron to lower margin.231cm (91ins) high, 49cm (19.25ins) wide, 24cm (9.5ins) deep. Richard Webster is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as becoming a Liveryman of the Clockmakers' Company in 1787 and working until 1808. Other sources note him as being the son of the eminent clockmaker, William Webster Junior, who gained his Freedom in 1779. The Webster dynasty of clockmakers was established William Webster senior who is recorded by Baillie as apprenticed to Thomas Tompion and gaining his Freedom from The Clockmakers' Company in 1710; he initially worked as journeyman to Tompion later setting up business in Exchange Alley, London in 1711. Four days after Tompion's death on 20 November 1713 Webster placed a newspaper advertisement stating that he had worked for Tompion and was now working on his own at the Dial and Three Crowns in Exchange Alley. William Webster was elected to the position of Junior Warden in the Clockmakers Company in 1734 but died during his year in office on 13 August 1735. William Webster junior was apprenticed to his father in 1727 gaining his Freedom in 1734, he was appointed Master of the Clockmakers' Company in 1755. Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition and appears all-original and of good quality. The dial is in good clean condition; the seconds hand and selection pointer to the arch are replacements and the plate has a slight bow (left to right) behind the upper part of the chapter ring. The movement has a replacement seatboard however there is no packing to the cheeks beneath. The replacement seatboard means that we cannot offer any assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in sound original condition with nice 'old surface'/patination. The hood pediment fret is a replacement and the hood columns have had the reeded detail filed back for around 4cm beneath the capitals and for around 1cm above the bases - this indicates that more elaborate caps and bases were fitted at some point. The rear quarter columns have remnants of gesso capitals similar in proportion to the brass ones fitted to the front columns. Faults to the hood are otherwise very much limited to minor shrinkages and age-related blemishes, The trunk door has a slight warp causing the front lower eft corner to project outwards by around 1cm - the appearance of this could probably be mitigated by packing/adjusting the hinges. The lock is a replacement. The plinth has been reduced in height by around 4cm (a long time ago and to a high standard). Otherwise blemishes are limited to minor bumps, scuffs etc which generally adds to the pleasing colour/patination.Clock is complete with pendulum, two brass-cased weights, winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE II/III EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT AND DIALTHE ARCH WITH A SIGNTURE BOSS ENGRAVED FOR THOMAS PEIRCE, BRISTOL, MID 18th CENTURYThe five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and herringbone border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with scroll-pierced blued-steel hands and twin bird and urn cast spandrels to angles, the arch centred with a silvered boss engraved Thomas, Peirce, Bristol within a concentric foliate band and moulded brass bezel flanked by dolphin and foliate scroll cast mounts, (no lines or pulleys).43cm (17ins) high, 30.5cm (12ins) wide excluding the loose seatboard, 15cm (6ins) deep including crutch. Thomas Pierce is recorded in Moore, A.J. CLOCKMAKERS OF BRISTOL 1650-1900 as the second clockmaker with this name who worked in Bristol 1732-93. He was apprenticed to Joseph Smith in 1732 and first worked from 48 Wine Street 1739-45 and then 57 Corn Street from 1761. The arch of the dial of the present lot shows evidence of originally been designed with apertures for a 'rocking-eye' automaton; these are now mostly filled and concealed behind the signature boss signed for Thomas Pierce. Whether this was executed as a 'rethink' by Pierce at the time of making, or a modification undertaken at a later date, is not known. 

Y&nbspA FRENCH LOUIS XV BOULLE BRACKET CLOCKJEAN GODDE, PARIS, CIRCA 1745The rectangular four knopped pillar twin going barrel outside countwheel bell striking movement with verge escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum, the backplate signed Jean Godde A Paris to lower margin, the 8.5 inch circular twenty-five piece cartouche numeral dial with convex white enamel centre inscribed JEAN GODDE, A PARIS within chapter ring with blue-on-white Roman hour numerals within rococo borders and conforming Arabic five minutes to outer track, with pierced steel hands, the engraved cut brass and multi-coloured shell contra-parti marquetry veneered shouldered waisted case with surmount cast as a Classical goddess with star headdress amongst billowing clouds, applied to a ogee-sided superstructure decorated with foliate strapwork scrolls into a cut brass ground foliate flanked by leaf cast mounts to the angles, the front with rococo scroll cast crest over arched alternating mother-of-pearl and stained shell rosette decorated trellis marquetry panel and gilt brass-framed moulded waisted arch-glazed door decorated with a putti seated within rococo scrollwork to lower margin, enclosing marquetry veneered decoration to the inside surface of the rear door over a tiled floor, the surround decorated with leafy scrolls within line border and applied with generous scroll-cast gilt mounts to angles, the sides with tall recessed arch windows between marquetry panel veneered upper and lower margins and the rear ebonised and with single panel door, on generous scroll cast feet with integral apron between.76cm (30ins) high, 36cm (14ins) wide, 18cm (7ins) deep. Jean Godde is recorded in Tardy DICTIONAIRE DES HORLOGERS FRANCAIS as becoming a Master in 1691. Tardy notes that he was working from Rue Vielle Draperie in 1695, Rue de Bucy in 1698, Place Dauphine in 1699, A la Bourse in 1700 and finally Rue Guenegaud in 1743. He is thought to have died in 1749.  Condition Report: Movement appears complete and all-original and is essentially in working order however it is in dirty/neglected condition hence will need a clean and service. The dial is in good original condition, the I numeral cartouche is a little lighter than the others hence has probably been restored, all others appear free from significant defects; hands appear original. The case is in sound condition but has losses and lifting to the sides with the right-hand being worse than the left having the brass missing to the section beneath the side glass. The front however is in very good condition. The mounts are in good condition although there is some variance in the gilding and patchy discolouration. The interior has one area of slight lifting to the brass to the rear door and some pinning to the brass tiles to the floor.Clock is complete with pendulum, winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y&nbspA FRENCH REGENCE STYLE SMALL BOULLE MANTEL CLOCKUNSIGNED, CIRCA 1880The circular eight-day two train countwheel bell striking movement anchor escapement regulated by disc-bob pendulum incorporating Brocot-type regulation to suspension, the backplate stamped with serial number 13042 to left hand margin over 4 4 to lower edge, the circular gilt brass twelve-piece Roman cartouche numeral dial with rosette cast centre within applied blue-on-white enamel numerals within outer minute track, with steel trefoil pierced hands set behind hinged repeating husk cast brass convex-glazed bezel, the premier parti cut and engraved brass and red shell marquetry veneered case with surmount cast as a tazza loaded with fruit over concave-sided upstand applied with symmetrical foliate panel decorated veneers, the front with grotesque mask centred foliate cast arched crest over symmetrical scroll marquetry decorated panel within a bead cast border and conforming veneered border to front flanked by pendant husk cast mounts to shoulders, the sides with projecting arch sections over flat panels each also veneered with scroll-pierced brass within a mottled red-shell veneered ground, the rear ebonised and with full-height blind panel door, the base with leaf cast mount to the front apron and swollen sections to sides, on scroll cast paw feet.31cm (12.25ins) high, 15cm (6ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep. 

A FINE AND RARE CHARLES I BRASS 'FIRST PERIOD' LANTERN CLOCK OF LARGER PROPORTIONS ATTRIBUTED TO THE WORKSHOP OF WILLIAM BOWYER, THE DIAL SIGNED FOR CLAUDIUS MALBRANCK, LONDON, CIRCA 1630The trains now with endless-rope winding on chains and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike train sounding the hours on a bell mounted above the frame via an iron countwheel with overlift provided by a hoop wheel cut with a single slot, the dial finely engraved with stylised hatched foliate scrollwork laid out in a quartered design to centre, within applied 6.375 inch narrow silvered Roman numeral chapter ring incorporating slender cruciform half hour markers, with fine substantial sculpted steel hand and foliate engraved infill matching that of the centre occupying the quadrants with the lower flanking signature Claudius Malbranck engraved to the bottom margin, the frame with finely turned generous Doric column corner posts beneath distinctive shouldered vase 'cup and cover' finials with cavetto waists, the front and sides applied with symmetrical scroll pierced cast brass armorial frets with the front incorporating foliate engraved detail including grotesque dolphin masks, beneath domed bell bearer capped with a conforming slightly larger vase finial, with brass side doors and the rear with iron backplate, on turned tapered 'acorn' feet.40cm (15.75ins) high, 15cm (6ins) wide, 18.5cm (7.25ins) deep. Literature:Illustrated and described in Bruce, W.F. EARLY ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCKS 1600-1700, Lewes 2013, pages 16-17 with a detail of the dial on page 6. Claudius Malbranck is noted in Loomes, Brian Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as most probably the original owner of the present clock with the surname Malbranck (sometimes Malbranq) being that of French Huguenot (Walloon) family who lived in London at least 1628-35. Bill Bruce and John Hooper in EARLY ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCKS 1600-1700 also note that Malbranck was most likely the original owner and, suggest that the current clock was almost certainly made by William Bowyer. Perhaps the most obvious single piece of evidence to support attribution to Bowyer is the design of the frets used. Although they appear to be outwardly similar to those used on other, smaller, clocks they are almost unique with the only other known example to have matching castings being a clock made by Bowyer for the Brewers' Company clock of 1632 which was sold at Bonhams, London, sale of FINE CLOCKS 16th December 2020 (lot 77) for £56,500. In addition to the frets used, the dial engraving of the Brewers' clock also exhibits notable similarities with that of the current lot with foliate designs executed in quartered segments. Another clock by Bowyer, this time made for the Earl of Rothes, (see White, George English Lantern Clocks page 44, Figure II/5) also has very closely related engraving by the same hand. George White likens this rare style of engraving to that seen on contemporary silverwork and provides an image of a lid of a silver casket attributed to Jan Gerritsz in support of this observation (page 68, Figure II/58). Incidentally the Earl of Rothes clock was also sold by Bonhams, London, in their sale of FINE CLOCKS 11th December 2019 (lot 68) for £43,812.50.In addition to the frets and dial engraving the movement has many features typical of Bowyer's work, most notably the 'hump' cast into the rear movement bar left hand arm to allow for the locking detent arbor pivots, finely executed wheelwork with tapered arbors, decorative blade hammer spring opposing a very substantial stop and iron countwheel. The frame utilises the same casting as the Earl of Rothes clock and is very finely finished with precise turnings and canted filed edges to the bell support straps. William Bowyer is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as the son of Ralph Bowyer (yeoman of Warfield Berkshire) who is believed to have been married to Alice Mansworth in 1590. William was probably born around this time and by 1616 was a member of the Pewterers' Company when he took-in Thomas Taylor (son of Ralph Taylor, a milliner from Halesowen, Shropshire) as an apprentice. Bowyer took-in no less than five further apprentices prior to the formation of the Clockmakers' Company in 1631, including John Pennock (son of William Pennock of Guisborough, Yorkshire) in 1620. Although he subscribed £5 towards its charter and was made free of the City in 1630, William Bowyer did not apparently join the Worshipful Company on its establishment the following year.Bowyer is thought to have been first married to Margery Barlow of Litchfield, Staffordshire, however, by 1631 he was married to Prudence with whom he had five children (three of which sadly died in infancy). By 1638 Bowyer was living in the parish of St. Andrew Undershaft, he took-in Joseph Jackson (through Thomas Dawson) as apprentice that year and during the following decade took-on at least four more, this time through the Clockmakers' Company. One of these apprentices was Nathanial Allen (probably around 1641/2); Allen subsequently married a Phillipa Bowyer in 1646 hence became related to William through marriage.In 1640 William Bowyer was invited to become an Assistant of the Clockmakers' Company, however it appears that he was reluctant to serve the Company as in July 1642 he gave 'a great chamber clock' in return for excusal from any further duties. Nevertheless he became an Assistant in 1651 and a Warden in 1653 the year of his death. The present clock is particularly notable in that it has survived in fine, original untouched condition. At some point the original verge escapement and balance has been substituted for anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum and the winding converted to Huygens's design with an endless chain. Most importantly the latter has not resulted in the strike train being reversed, this has been achieved by adding a very discreet small intermediate wheel to the going train front movement bar, between the pinion of report and the hour wheel. Otherwise the clock is very much the same as when it would have left the Leadenhall Street workshop of William Bowyer but with light wear and the build-up of patination resulting in very pleasing mellow colouring that can only come with age.

A FRENCH LOUIS XV STYLE GILT BRASS CARTEL CLOCKRETAILED BY BENNETT, LONDON, THIRD QUARTER OF THE 19th CENTURYThe circular eight-day two train bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum incorporating Brocot type regulation to suspension, the backplate stamped 6-9 over oval BENNETT, CHEAPSIDE trademark and Vincenti & Cie, MEDAILLE D'ARGENT roundel, the 5.5 inch slightly convex white enamel blue on white Roman numeral dial also inscribed BENNETT, CHEAPSIDE to centre and with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with fine scroll pierced and engraved gilt brass hands set behind hinged convex glazed cavetto moulded cast gilt brass bezel, the case richly cast with generous stylised foliate scrolls with pierced rococo surmount over a series of full-height open leafy floral sprays issuing from the base and rising to envelop the sides, incorporating scroll pierced fret infill to the sides and further lattice fret beneath the dial, the rear flush-finished incorporating hinged circular panel to access the movement.46cm (18ins) high, 30cm (11.75ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep. The firm of watchmakers and retailers of luxury goods, Sir John Bennett Limited, was established by John Bennett at 65 Cheapside, London in 1846. Sir John Bennett was a colourful character who became involved in machinations of the City of London Corporation serving as 'Sheriff of London and Middlesex' in 1871 and 'Lord Lieutenant of London' in 1872. He died in 1897 leaving the business in the hands of his successors trading as 'Sir John Bennett Limited', which continued well into the 20th century. Condition Report: Movement appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements; it is also in clean working condition although it will require setting-up in beat. The dial has some slight repair/filling to the enamel around the regulation square at twelve o'clock as well as some more filling to the edge above the X numeral. Both of these repairs are not particularly noticeable when the bezel is closed. The case is in good original condition, the gilding is a little oxidised/muted through age and the castings have some edge wear however the case appears free form damage or repair.Clock is complete with pendulum and a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE VICTORIAN GILT BRASS GIANT CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PUSH-BUTTON REPEATCARTER, LONDON, CIRCA 1860The eight-day five columnar pillar twin chain fusee train bell striking movement with Harrison's maintaining power and frosted gilt platform underslung lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance with jewelled pivots to the going train, the backplate with central aperture revealing the balance regulation scale to upper margin over winding and hand-setting squares and engraved signature Carter, 61 Cornhill, LONDON to centre, the dial with fine foliate scroll pierced and engraved fretwork overlaid centre within 3.125 inch Roman numeral enamel chapter ring, with blued steel moon hands and set within conforming scroll pierced fret overlaid rectangular gilt mask incorporating shield cartouche signed CARTER, 61 CORNHILL beneath the chapter ring and framed by a canted bezel surround, the heavy thickly bevel-glazed frosted gilt brass case with hinged scroll-shaped handle over rectangular top glass, inverted ogee cornice, and rounded uprights to angles, the right hand side glass with push-repeat button and the rear with lift-out panel secured via a slide-latch and with shuttered winding and hand setting square holes, on cavetto moulded skirt base with rounded angles.21.5cm (8.5ins) high with handle down, 15cm (6ins) wide, 12.5cm (5ins) deep. John Carter is recorded in Betts, Jonathan MARINE CHRONOMETERS AT GREENWICH as born in 1803 and apprenticed to Boys Err Burrill gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1829. He is listed in directories as working from Tooley Street, London as a watch and chronometer maker with additional premises at 61 Cornhill from 1840. He submitted many chronometers for the trials at Greenwich coming first in 1834 with chronometer number 144, and again the following year with watch number 160. He also became involved with the City of London becoming an Alderman in 1851 and serving as Lord Mayor in 1859. He also served three times as Master of the Clockmakers' Company in 1856, 59 and 64. In 1873 John Carter took his son, John William, into partnership who then continued the business after John Carter's death in May 1878. Condition Report: Movement appears all original and is in fine clean fully working condition. The dial has an extremely feint hairline crack to the enamel adjacent to the XI numeral (can only be seen on very close examination with light reflecting form the surface) otherwise dial is fine condition with exquisite engraved blind fretwork. The case is in fine condition with good strong even frosted gilding showing next to no wear or discolouration. There are a few very slight surface pin-pricks (probably very slight casting defects) to the front right hand upright, and the rear has a few spots of grime which most likely could be wiped-off with a soft cloth moistened with detergent. The right hand glass panel has a tiny shallow corner chip to the upper left hand corner (can only be detected on very close examination). Otherwise faults are very much limited to a couple of tiny/barely noticeable edge bumps.Clock is basically in near 'retail' condition and is complete with a bespoke winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer

A REGENCY MAHOGANY FUSEE DIAL WALL TIMEPIECETHE DIAL SIGNED FOR DWERRIHOUSE AND COMPANY, LONDON, CIRCA 1820The four columnar pillar single fusee movement with arched plates and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the 12 inch convex cream painted Roman numeral dial inscribed Dwerrihouse & Co., LONDON to centre, with steel spade hands set behind hinged convex-glazed moulded cast brass bezel, with conforming narrow turned wood dial surround secured with pegs to the rear box case incorporating door to right hand side over pendulum access flap to the curved underside, (dial finish refreshed).34.5cm (13.5ins) diameter, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep. John Dwerrihouse was a noted maker who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1781 and working from Charles Street, London until 1805. The business was continued by his successors forming the partnerships 'Dwerrihouse and Carter' (1802-23); 'Dwerrihouse, Carter and Son' (1805-15); 'Dwerrihouse, Carter and Company' (1825); 'Dwerrihouse and Ogston' (1836) and 'Dwerrihouse Ogston and Bell' (circa 1840).Please note that the condition report for this lot was amended on 21/02/2024. Bidders may need to make themselves aware of these updates. Condition Report: Please note amendments to the below report were added on 21/02/2024; these additional comments are in block capitals. Movement is complete and appears all-original. Although it is in running condition a precautionary clean/service is advised THE SPRING BARREL WALL IS PROBABLY A REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE ORIGINAL POSIBLY CRACKING DUE TO STRESS. Movement is of eight-day duration. The dial finish has been restored hence we can offer no assurances that the name on the dial is actually the original maker however we are of the view that it most likely replicates the original text. The hands are nicely made and are probably original but re-blued. The bezel is in sound original condition although the attachment to the hinge is a little loose due to the solder failing bur remains attached with two pins. REGRETTABLY THE FRONT GLASS NOW IS CRACKED DUE TO PRESSING AGAINST ONE OF THE SCREWS THAT SECURE THE DIAL PANEL TO THE WOODEN SURROUND BECOMING LOOSE. The wooden surround is in good condition with no cracks or losses; the bezel lock is present but is not currently latching the bezel tab due to misalignment of the tab (bezel stays shut by friction). The box case is in sound original condition however the veneer to the curved underside has splits and losses. The flap is lacking cockbeading to the edges and the lock has been replaced by a brass turn-latch. The right-hand side door is lacking the veneer overlap to the upper edge and has a couple of small veneer chips to the upper left hand corner faults to the sides, top and rear are otherwise limited to a few age-related bumps and scuffs and light shrinkage.Timepiece has a pendulum and a winder but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE I EBONISED TABLE/BRACKET CLOCK OF SMALLER PROPORTIONS WITH PULL-QUARTER REPEAT ON SIX BELLSPETER BACOT, LONDON, CIRCA 1720The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with pull-quarter repeat on a graduated nest of six bells and verge escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum incorporating pivoted rise/fall regulation to suspension, the backplate engraved with symmetrical foliate scrolls around a central reserve enclosing a winged cherub mask, the 6 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar and false-bob apertures to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with diamond lozenge half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with scroll-pierced steel hands and Indian mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath subsidiary rosette-centre engraved regulation dial flanked by conforming mounts to arch, the inverted bell top case with scroll cast gilt brass hinged brass carrying handle to the superstructure over double cavetto top mouldings and opening front inset with glazed dial aperture and to the scroll pierced upper quadrant frets, the sides shaped scroll-pierced sound frets over break-arch windows, and the rear with rectangular door set within the frame of the case with conforming upper quadrant panels, on cavetto moulded skirt base with moulded squab feet; now with a later ebonised wall bracket of moulded profile mirroring the case superstructure. The clock 38.5cm (15.25ins) high with handle down, 23cm (9ins approx.) wide, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep; the clock on wall bracket 50cm (19.75ins) high with handle down.  Peter Bacot is recorded in Looms, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as working in London around 1700; a Pierre Bacot and his with Susanne had a child (also called Pierre) baptised at the French Huguenot church in Westminster. Bacot worked in the Parish of St. Giles in the Fields, Westminster and took-in several apprentices (mostly also of French Huguenot heritage) up until 1757. The engraving to the backplate of the present timepiece can be compared to decoration discussed in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass pages 262-71; with perhaps the strongest similarities being with a backplate for a clock signed by Robert Player illustrated on page 264 (Figure 15.4); this style of engraving has roots in French Huguenot immigrant work. The design of the repeat work can also be broadly compared to mechanisms employed in table clocks by John Wady and Richard Peckover described in Dzik, Sunny BENEATH THE DIAL, English Pull-Repeat Striking 1675-1725 pages 440-41 and 455-56 respectively. Condition Report: The movement is in sound, relatively clean condition and will run, strike and repeat however a gentle clean/service is advised to ensure ongoing reliable operation. The quarter-repeat is currently out-of-sync with the quarters hence requires adjustment (hour strike train operates correctly). The movement is in its original form however it is most likely that the present verge escapement is a very well executed restoration as filled pivot holes in both the frontplate and towards the lower margin of the backcock (original) would suggest that the movement once had an anchor escapement fitted. The movement otherwise exhibits no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial presents in good clean condition with some slight spots of oxidation however the spandrel and arch mounts would appear to be replacements (of correct pattern); the minute hand is also probably a replacement. The case is in very good condition having received cosmetic restoration in the relatively recent past. Faults are limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with light use; the left-hand side has some more noticeable slight shrinkage cracking and a historic crack to the front skirt moulding can be seen on closer examination. The left-hand side upper fret panel has a small veneer chip to the upper right-hand margin. The rear door glass has a crack to the apex of the arch. The interior of the case has had a coat of flat black paint applied. The blued steel movement securing brackets are replacements however there is no visible evidence to suggest that the movement and dial are not original to the case. The bracket is in good condition although the bottom moulding is a little loose and there is some shrinkage cracking towards the rear of the table.Clock is complete with pendulum, winder and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

An anonymous small timepiece of closely related design and dated to around 1780 is illustrated in Brusa, Guiseppe L'ARTE DELL, OROLOGERIA IN EUROPA plates 614-15; whilst an essentially identical timepiece was sold at Rossini, Rue Drouot, Paris, 24th June 2021 (Lot 265) for £12,855.  

A GEORGE III EBONISED TABLE/BRACKET CLOCK WITH TRIP-HOUR REPEATINDISTINCTLY SIGNED FOR WALEY, LONDON, CIRCA 1800The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with verge escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum incorporating pivoted rise/fall regulation to suspension, the backplate engraved with a stylised basket of flowers within symmetrical rococo scrollwork and fitted with a pendulum holdfast to centre, the 7 inch brass break-arch dial applied with a cream painted Roman numeral hour disc, with pierced blued steel hands and fine foliate scroll engraved applied spandrels panels to angles beneath arch with recessed shaped cream plate indistinctly inscribed WALEY, LONDON over a pair of subsidiary dials for regulation and STRIKE/SILENT selection within conforming foliate engraved infill, the break-arch case with hinged brass carrying handle above double cavetto top mouldings and hinged front incorporating brass fillet mouldings to the glazed dial aperture and vertical beading to front angles, the sides with rectangular glazed windows backed with brass fish-scale frets and the rear matching the front, on cavetto moulded skirt base.39.5cm (15.25ins) high with handle down, 27cm (10.5ins) wide, 18cm (7ins) deep. Although heavily faded the signature within the arch of the dial can be made out for WALEY, LONDON. A John Waley is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1791. Condition Report: Movement is in fully working condition and appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is a little dirty/discoloured hence a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised. The painted arears to the dial retain old/original surface however the annotations and text (in black) are heavily rubbed/worn with those in the arch being almost entirely erased. The signature can just be made-out on very close examination under reflected light. The brass elements to the dial are in good original condition with old lacquer finish; the hands are undamaged. The case is in sound original unrestored condition. The top has a fairly heavy front-to-back shrinkage crack above 11 o'clock as well as some very slight additional light veneer shrinkage cracking to the top. The front door has two small veneer chips to overlap bordering the gilt fillet-bordered aperture to the left-hand side of the arch. The left-hand side has slight wear and cracking to the veneer overlap of the glazed aperture; the right hand side has slight cracking only. The rear is lacking the short length of top moulding that forms the right-hand shoulder beyond the arch. The doors retain their original locks and hinges. The base has a veneer crack to the left-hand skirt and the disc-turned feet are later additions. The surface/finish to the case is worn/rubbed/degraded otherwise faults are limited to minor bumps, scuffs and other age-related blemishes.Clock has pendulum, winder and a case key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

Y&nbspA FINE WILLIAM AND MARY EBONY TABLE CLOCK WITH SILENT PULL-QUARTER REPEAT ON TWO BELLSSAMUEL WATSON, COVENTRY OR LONDON, CIRCA 1690The seven finned pillar single fusee movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum and 'silent' pull-quarter repeat on a graduated pair of bells, the backplate with external horizontal hour hammer spring towards the upper margin and engraved with symmetrical scrolling foliage incorporating tulip blooms around a central reserve signed Samuel Watson, the 6.125 inch square brass dial with vacant calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with squat fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll pierced steel hands and winged cherub cast spandrel mounts to angles, the ebony veneered case with eagle head and dolphin cast hinged brass carrying handle to the domed caddy superstructure over Knibb-style ogee cornice mouldings and rectangular glazed front door, the sides with brass repousse scroll decorated lozenge sound frets over rectangular windows and the rear with glazed door set within the frame of the case, on conforming ogee moulded shallow skirt base with brass disc feet.29cm (11.5ins) high with handle down, 22cm (8.75ins) wide, 15cm (6ins) deep. Samuel Watson was an important clockmaker and mathematician who is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as initially working in Coventry from around 1680 where he was Sheriff in 1686 before moving to Long Acre ('next door to the Bagnio in the Parish'), London, in around 1691; he was admitted to the Clockmakers' Company as a free Brother in 1692. He was supposedly 'Mathematician ordinary' to Charles II for whom he made an astronomical clock in 1682 followed by another clock which he did not finish until after the King's death. This clock was eventually sold to Queen Mary on its completion in 1690 and is preserved at Windsor Castle albeit in a later case. He also made two further complex astronomical clocks for Isaac Newton and invented five minute repeating for watches. He worked with the Lichfield based physician, John Floyer, in developing a medical 'pulse watch' which was subsequently advertised in 1707. Latterly, in November 1712, Watson approached the Clockmaker's Company with an instrument to 'discover the houre of the day at sea and several other useful mathematical matters' but to no avail.  The current lot is designed to sound the hours and quarters on two bells only on demand. This form of quarter repeat mechanism is thought to have been devised for timepieces destined for night-time use in the bedroom; whilst striking clocks with quarter repeat facility were generally intended to be utilised downstairs during the day and upstairs at night. As a consequence silent-pull quarter repeating timepieces are rarer as the original owner would have to be very wealthy indeed to afford a timepiece reserved exclusively for use in the bed chamber. The design of the repeat mechanism used in the current lot is based to the system devised by Joseph Knibb (as described and illustrated in Allix, Charles and Harvey, Laurence HOBSON'S CHOICE pages 36-7) with the principal differences being the shape and positioning of the pivoted gear-toothed sector, and the use of cocked pivots and distinctive external horizontal springs for each of the bell hammers. These details, however, are almost identical to those on a clock by Henry Jones (ex, Vehmeyer Collection) illustrated in Dzik, Sunny BENEATH THE DIAL, English Clock Pull Repeat Striking 1675-1725 page 71. Indeed the only discernible difference between the Henry Jones timepiece and the current lot is a the provision of a second brass lever acting as a spacer between the gear toothed sector and the hour snail. In addition to the near-identical repeat system the present clock also shares other strong similarities with the movement Vehmeyer Henry Jones such as the chapter ring (in particular the squat fleur-de-lys half-hour markers) and the design of the backplate engraving - which can also be very closely compared to two backplates for clocks by Joseph Knibb illustrated in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 page 134, Figure 8.8. The case also shares the same mouldings, design/format of the side apertures, and overall proportions of the Vehmeyer Jones although the present lot does not have a repousse caddy. Another very similar silent-pull repeating timepiece by Henry Jones, sharing almost all of the above details, was sold in these rooms on 17th May 2015; this further example is notable in that it also had the very generous allocation of seven movement pillars as per the present clock.When all of the above observations are considered, it would be reasonable to suggest that the present timepiece could well have been made in the workshop of Henry Jones for retail by Samuel Watson. This possibility is perhaps further reinforced by the lack of place name within the signature which may suggest that the clock was supplied to Watson whilst he was still working in Coventry. If this was the case then the present lot would pre-date 1691, which is when Watson is believed to have moved to London. As a final note it is interesting to compare the present timepiece with Samuel Watson's slightly later clocks of the same specification. One such example is illustrated and described by Sunny Dzik in BENEATH THE DIAL... pages 99-102. This timepiece incorporates repeat work of near identical design as that used on the present clock but with the exception of the external horizontal hammer springs being dispensed in favour of the more standard arrangement comprising springs attached to the insides of the plates. As noted by Sunny Dzik this slightly later clock also belongs to a small series of timepieces that originally had sweep seconds hand revolving once every two minutes. The production of these centre-seconds timepieces may have been connected to Watson's work with the physician John Floyer, who was the first to apply timing of the heart rate as an important diagnostic indicator. The strong similarities between these later timepieces and the current lot would suggest that Samuel Watson was heavily influenced by the Henry Jones at the height of his career.

DURDEN, 21 FENCHURCH ST., LONDON to centre, the 5.5 inch ogee-arch top gilt brass dial with matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed J. DURDEN, 21 FENCHURCH ST. LONDON to lower margin, with delicate scroll pierced blued steel hands and chased gilt brass foliate cast spandrels to angles, the arch with twin silvered subsidiary CHIME/SILENT and CHIME ON EIGHT BELLS/WESTMINSTER CHIMES selection dials flanked by conforming mounts, the George III style bell-top case with hinged brass carrying handle and brass string moulding over ball finials and complex top mouldings, the front door with brass fillet edged glazed dial aperture beneath scroll pierced and engraved upper quadrant and rail frets set within conforming fillet-edged recesses, with brass stop-fluted canted angles and conforming scroll pierced and engraved brass ogee-arch shaped frets to sides, the rear with canted angles matching the front, on brass-faced cavetto moulded skirt base with cast splayed bracket feet, (pendulum, rear door and left side upper moulding lacking). 38cm (15ins) high with handle down, 24.5cm (9.75ins) wide, 19.5cm (7.75ins) deep. A John Durden is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in London 1869-81       Condition Report: Movement is complete (except for the pendulum) and in original condition. The mechanism is currently very dirty/dusty however the going train will just about run and the strike train is operational. The quarter chiming train is also working however the bells are out of alignment hence the hammers do not presently engage with any of the bells. A good clean and adjustment where necessary, together with the provision of a pendulum, is all that is probably required to bring the clock back to fine working condition. The dial is in good original condition retaining original gilt and silvered finishes although there are some spots of heavy tarnishing to the spandrel mounts in places and overall 'mellowing' to the silvering. The case is structurally sound and is largely free from veneer chips, noticeable shrinkage and knocks/scuffs (except a bruise to the lower front mounding) however most of the back door is missing (right hand hinge jamb is the only part present). The left-hand upper moulding is missing as are both the rear finials. The rear right-hand foot is a little bent and the brass side frets slightly bowed. The front door is missing a small section of veneer across the top f the dial aperture. The top of the case is also faded. Despite the case looking neglected and missing certain elements it does present as eminently viable and rewarding restoration project.Clock has a door key and a winder.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH LOUIS STYLE BRASS MOUNTED INLAID BURR WALNUT MINIATURE LONGCASE MANTEL CLOCK UNSIGNED, CIRCA 1900The circular eight-day two train countwheel bell striking movement with platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the backplate stamped with serial number 655, the 3 inch circular cream enamel dial with simulated segmented Roman cartouche numerals and generous Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with scroll-shaped steel hands set behind a hinged moulded cast-brass convex bevel-glazed bezel, the case with cast cockerel surmount to the concave-sided upstand applied to the drum housing the movement, the front with rocaille scroll cast mount enveloping the dial over concave fronted ogee-shaped support decorated with marquetry foliate trail to fascia flanked by acanthus angle mounts, the trunk of slightly bombe-waisted form with brass concave throat moulding over stylised rococo urn and floral scroll inlaid decoration within a scroll-cast applied border to front, flanked by conforming acanthus angle mounts, the burr-veneered sides with further mounts to back edges, the flush rear also burr-veneered and incorporating hinged glazed bezel behind the movement, the serpentine-shaped skirt base with brass ogee top moulding over floral cast swag mount to front flanked by leaf cast decoration to the projecting canted angles, on rococo scroll cast bracket feet.54cm (21.25ins) high, 17cm (6.75ins) wide, 11cm (4.25ins) deep. Condition Report: Movement is not presently running; the platform is a little loose and the mechanism is generally somewhat dirty/gummed-up hence will require a clean and overhaul and possible attention/renewal of the platform. The strike mechanism is working however the bell hammer is currently detached (but is present with the clock). The backplate has a small filled section just beneath the platform suggesting the the movement was originally designed to have a pendulum and then modified for a platform escapement - this was most likely done at the time the clock was made. The dial has very slight enamel chipping to the left hand winding hole and a small edge crack at six o'clock; both of these are only visible on closer examination (hence are not disfiguring). The case is generally in fine condition although the mounts have at some time been cleaned with metal polish hence much of the original gilding is either gone or in now very thin. The veneers are free from notable defects other than a few light historic bumps and scuffs; they are of fine quality and good mellow colour.Clock is complete with a winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer
