Rare late 17th/early 18th Century Italian brass and iron lantern or chamber clock with six-hour dial, circa 1700, the 4.25-inch Roman dial with fleur-de-lis half hour divisions, in a quarter hour track and matted centre with iron or steel single hand, the movement with verge and crown wheel escapement, count wheel-striking on a bell, the architectural case with ring-turned spire finials and posted iron frame, sold with two small cylindrical bob weights and two larger, later wooden bracket and glass dome, the clock 22.5cm high From the Italian Renaissance, the division of the day into four six-hour sections, with day beginning at sunset, allowed for more accurate time keeping. This system was used particularly in the Papal States until the Napoleonic invasion of Italy following the French Revolution when the twelve-hour system was introduced. The Italian system also conformed to Canonical hours, with Evening Prayers commencing the day. Most bells on clocks of this type are iron and are smaller/deeper than the current example, therefore this maybe an old replacement. The mechanism appears otherwise in good order but is untested and sold as seen. Later bracket and dome as catalogued. We do not guarantee the movement or accuracy of clocks - Please see extra images and TELEPHONE department if you require further information.

STAFFORDSHIRE – CHETWYND FAMILY AND INGESTRECalligraphic richly illustrated volume on vellum tracing the deeds and architectural accomplishments of the Chetwynd family of Ingestre Hall, compiled for the antiquary and friend of Sir Christopher Wren, Walter Chetwynd, by his protege Gregory King (later map-engraver to John Ogilby and pioneering economist), with title-page: 'Chetwyndorum Stemma./ sive/ Chetwyndianæ Familiæ/ de Ingestre in Agro Staffordiensi/ Ac olim de Chetwynd in com. Salop./ Successio./ Ex ipsis Autographis/ penes Walter Chetwynd Arm./ deducta./ Et/ Insignis, Sigillis, aliisq., ejusdem Familiae Monumentis/ illustrata./ Ao. Dni. M.DC.LXXXX.', transcribing each deed, including petitions and wills (including, for example, that of Sir Thomas Littleton, 1481: 'Item I will that my wife have a Bason of Silver, in the middest whereof is her Armes and mine, and an Ewer of Silver; two great Salt sellers with a kever, a standinge playn gilt peece, vj bolls of Silver, a standinge peece with a Cover, a flatt low gilt peece with a cover, ij peeces of Silver, one coveringe another, a Powder Box of Silver, a Paxborde, ij Cruets and a Sacring bell of Silver. Item that William Littleton my sonne and heire shall have a deepe washing Bason of Silver...'), illustrated in the margins with nineteen watercolour drawings of seal impressions, and within the text four pen-and-ink studies of monumental effigies, tombs and the like (on pp.22, 64, 66 and 84); two leaves unpaginated, one of which has been left incomplete (between pp.36 and 37 and 82 and 83), a further four leaves unpaginated followed by three blank leaves following p.92 and before the beginning of the second section at p.93; the second half of the volume containing pen, ink and wash drawings of Ingestre and the family property at Grendon (Warwickshire), beginning at p.93 with 'A Prospect of the Front of the Manour house at Ingestre'; followed by 'A Prospect of the South Side of the Parish Church of Ingestre Erected Anno 1677' and 'A Prospect of the West end of the said Church' (p.95); followed by the mural monument 'On the North side of the Chancell of the Parish Church of Ingestre' (p.96), 'On the South side of the said Chancell' (p.97), the wording of the 'Memoriae sacrum Walteri Chetwynd' [then still living] left blank; the inscription repeated on p.98; eight armorial windows 'of the Chancell of the Parish Church of Ingestre', with a key to the families represented (p.99); the mural monument 'In the South Ile of the Parish Church of Grendon' (p.100); and another 'In the same South Ile' (p.101) and 'In the foresaid South Ile' (p.102) [these three erected by Sir Walter Chetwynd, see VCH Warwickshire, Grendon Parish], followed by two blank vellum sheets; bound at the end, on paper, are figures of forty-three seals in pen-and-ink (pp.105-6), with four paper leaves at the end left blank, 114 vellum leaves (102 paginated plus 12 unnumbered or with duplicate pagination), bookplate of Ingestre Hall (with the Talbot crest surrounded by the Garter and surmounted by an earl's coronet, for Charles Chetwynd-Talbot, 2nd Earl Talbot, 1777-1849, created KG in 1844), later endpapers, fine late seventeenth century morocco, elaborately gilt with floral and foliate devices and drawer-handle borders, with the arms of Sir Walter Chetwynd at centre, lightly rubbed, folio (360 x 275mm.), 1690Footnotes:A CONTEMPORARY RECORD OF THE ONLY WREN CHURCH OUTSIDE LONDON, the present volume having been compiled at the behest of Sir Walter Chetwynd FRS, who is thought to have commissioned the church from his friend Sir Christopher Wren; the volume itself compiled for Chetwynd by his protégé Gregory King, later renowned as map-engraver to John Ogilby and pioneer economist. (It will be noted that Chetwynd's own monument, on the south side of Ingestre chancel, has been left blank under the heading 'Memoriae sacrum Walteri Chetwynd': he was to die two years later, on 21 March 1692.)In the words of Sir Nikolaus Pevsner: 'For churches the locus classicus [in Staffordshire] is of course Ingestre, which can with full confidence be ascribed to Wren. It is dated 1676, and in it one breathes an air of harmony and calm not attained by any church in the county for well over a century after' ( The Buildings of England, Staffordshire, 1974, p.28). While the church and its monuments have happily survived, the hall itself was severely damaged by fire in 1882 and largely rebuilt.Although this book was compiled under the aegis of Chetwynd, the actual work was begun, and probably carried through, by Gregory King (1648-1712), who was later to become well-known as a herald, antiquary and map-engraver to John Ogilby. He is now chiefly remembered, however, for his work as the 'first great economic statistician' (Some British Empiricists in the Social Sciences 1650-1900, 1997, p.xxii ): 'King's political arithmetic was highly original and he had no peer until the flowering of the nineteenth-century statistical movement. In the first place he was distinguished by tying his calculations closely to detailed available evidence, often by imaginative use of tax records, though his earlier work as a herald and cartographer was also vital. If King's political arithmetic was more ambitious than that of any other contemporary it was also more securely based' (Julian Hoppit, 'Gregory King', ODNB).The present volume appears to have been, to a large degree at any rate, assembled by King at the start of his career: 'A manuscript compendium of Chetwynd deeds entitled 'Chetwyndorum stemma' and written on vellum is dated 1690. It also contains tricks of seals and drawings of Ingestre Hall, the new church and monuments there and in Grendon church. The first part, which concludes with the Chetwynd pedigree to 1671, is evidently the work for which Gregory King was brought to Ingestre in 1670. Its continuation, which includes further medieval deeds and documents relating to public offices held by Chetwynd from 1662 to 1689, is also probably by Gregory King. Finally in September 1692 the chaplain Charles King stated that Chetwynd had done all that he intended on the antiquities of Staffordshire' (M. W. Greenslade, 'Walter Chetwynd', ODNB). The quality of the work suggests also that Gregory King could well have been responsible for its execution; although his near namesake, Charles, the chaplain, did early antiquarian work for Chetwynd and was also, to boot, a fine botanical illustrator (see Greenslade, op.cit.). Quite how the volume was assembled is not clear. Not only are there several pages bearing duplicate pagination, and others bearing none at all, but one of the final unnumbered leaves bears the pencilled heading, in what appears to be a late seventeenth century hand, 'Before page 93'. While the binding is clearly contemporary, the marbled endpapers are more characteristic of the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This impressive volume has remained in the family to this day.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
