This clock was a gift from his fellow Directors in 1890 for his services to the Company. A contemporary printed image of Pace, and a typed synopsis of personal entries in his prayer book ranging from 1861-1871 is included with this lot.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

It ran for 50 years, before being absorbed into 'Sketchy Bits in 1901. It was aimed at a well-educated readership and covered literature, politics, sports, and the theatre in direct competition to the perhaps better known, but at times more staid, 'Punch'. Byron handed over the reins to a Mr Tom Hood in 1865, who in turn sold it to George (1815-1902) and Edward Dalziel (1817–1905) in 1870. The Dalziel brothers were publishers and highly regarded engravers in their own right who had established a family business in 1839. They cut the illustrations for Edward Lear's 'Book of Nonsense' in 1862 and those for 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass' by Lewis Carroll. They worked with many internationally renowned names in the art world including Myles Birket Foster, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and James McNeill Whistler. Examples can be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum. An autobiographical study of their work 'The Brothers Dalziel, A Record of Work, 1840-1890' was published by Methuen.

To the top of the frame 80cms (31.5ins) high. With glass dome in place, 82cms (32.5ins)Footnotes:This clock was made to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897 and is illustrated in Camerer Cuss & Co: The Bicentenary 1788-1988, Antique Collector's Club, 1988, p.26. The firm used an image of it on an 1897 calendar, and undoubtedly it would have taken pride of place in the shop window. The remote winding and hand-setting is a revelation - one of the main issues for all skeleton clock owners is that 52 times a year, the glass dome has to be removed safely and then put back safely, this is why so many 19th century skeleton clocks are now lacking their domes. The current clock retains its original, perfectly fitting dome. Prince Albert had died 36 years before this clock was made, but still featured strongly during Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The figures on the clock depict the young married couple, Albert is decorated with the Order of the Garter and the Golden Fleece. Victoria is dressed out of period, in a simple Medieval-style gown, the pair perhaps portraying the Age of Chivalry, in tune with the gothic decoration of the clock.

Working 170 years ago, his use of clean lines and strong geometric forms give the appearance of an object from the mid-20th century, or even the modern day. His vertical wheel trains can be seen as a precursor of those used to such effect by Jaeger le Coultre in the 1950s and 60s. But John was only one of ten clockmakers from the Pace family, a dynasty that spanned 150 years from the 1740s into the 1890s. A full account is given in Antiquarian Horology, vol.34, no.1, pp60-71 'The Pace family of Quaker clockmakers' by David Edmund Pace. The following six lots are all from the Pace family collection. Literature: Illustrated and discussed in 'Antiquarian Horology', vol.34, no.1 p63, fig 3. Thomas Pace (Senior) was active from 1776-1819 from 128 Whitechapel High Street. Two of his eight children followed in his clockmaking footsteps, Thomas (Junior) – see lot 69, and John who moved to Bury St Edmunds – see lots 72 and 73.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
