A good mid 19th century carved mahogany floorstanding regulator showing centre secondsSigned Anderson, ElginThe drum shaped hood with intricate carved floral decoration centred by a rose, a shamrock and a thistle over a glazed trunk door framed by bold scrolls on a carved base, the heavy bezel secured via a pair of lift-off bayonet fittings, the 11 inch silvered dial now signed for Anderson of Elgin, with outer Arabic seconds track enclosing subsidiaries for Arabic minutes and Roman hours, each with a trefoil-tipped blued-steel hand, the movement with substantial plates united by four heavy pillars, with Harrison's maintaining power to a jewelled deadbeat escapement, with wooden-rod pendulum and large lenticular bob, driven by a small brass-clad weight. 1.86m (6ft 1in) high. (Puller)Footnotes:In common with other 19th century regulators, evidence to the rear of the dial indicates that Anderson was not the first maker/retailer of this clock. An Anderson (no first name) is listed as working in Elgin in 1861. This clock probably served in another clock or watchmakers workshop, or perhaps a retail jewellers as a time standard for the other timekeepers on the bench or for sale.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

The ten inch square brass dial signed along the lower edge 'Johannes Fromanteel, Londini fecit' with winged cherubs head spandrels framing the narrow silvered chapter ring with outer Arabic minute track, Roman hours and inner quarter hour track divided by fleur-de-lyse half-hour markers, the finely matted centre with large Arabic subsidiary seconds dial, matted shutters and chamfered date aperture, with blued steel hands, and four latched dial feet.The weight driven movement with tall rectangular plates measuring 19cms x 12cms (7.5ins x 4.75ins) united by five knopped and ringed pillars latched to the frontplate, the going train with bolt-and-shutter maintaining power and anchor escapement, the strike train with outside countwheel sounding the hour on a bell, further mounted on the backplate with an L-shaped brass bracket to allow secure fixing to the backboard of the case. 1.95m (6ft 4.5ins) high.Footnotes:Comparable longcase clocks by John Fromanteel feature in Garnier & Hollis: 'Innovation & Collaboration' An exhibition held at Bonhams London, September 2018, Exhibit numbers 55, 60, 77 and 78. Two others are illustrated in The Iden Collection, Volume 1, Nos. 9. and 10. Ahasuerus Fromanteel's 1658 advert has ensured that his name willbe forever associated with the introduction of the pendulum clock toBritain, but one could argue that a more involved role was played byhis lesser-known son John. It was after all, John, and not Ahasuerus,who travelled to The Hague in September 1657 and worked alongsideSalomon Coster at the bench in his workshop, discussing the technologies before him. It was John who returned to London andimparted the knowledge to his father and he was surely involved inthe production and finishing of those earliest clocks such as the sublime'Cupid Fromanteel' sold in these rooms June 2011.John was the eldest of three sons. He was born in 1638 andapprenticed to his father in April 1652 at the age of fourteen. He latertransferred to his brother-in-law, Thomas Loomes from whom he wasfreed in July 1663. He died sometime before 1692.( See Loomes,'Clockmakers of Britain', Mayfield Books, 2014, p208)It has been suggested that those clocks signed by him were madebetween circa 1667 when his father left for Holland, and circa1680 when he moved with his brother (Ahasuerus II) to Vijendam,Amsterdam, giving a window of production of only 12 years or so.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
