COCKEY, WARMINSTER to lower edge, the angles applied with fine urn-centred scroll cast gilt spandrels beneath arch with a central rotating foliate engraved disc with circular aperture to reveal a lunar disc representation of the age of the moon and blued steel pointer for the fixed silvered outer scale calibrated for the lunar month and flanked by dolphin and foliate cast gilt mounts, the case with wide break-arch pediment fronted by a deep foliate scroll pierced blind fret frieze above three-quarter columns attached to the gilt foliate spray decorated hood door, the trunk with rectangular door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with pagodas and figures within an oriental landscape bordered by further gilt foliate scroll borders, the conforming plinth base adorned with Ho-Ho birds and foliage to front and with moulded double skirt, 229cm (90ins) high. Provenance: The property of a private collector. Born in 1669, Edward Cockey senior was the son of Lewis Cockey (a bellfounder and clockmaker working in Warminster) from whom it is believed that he subsequently learned the trade. Edward was clearly a talented and well-connected clockmaker who in 1707 made an extremely complicated astronomical clock for lord Weymouth for the Great Hall at Longleat. Weymouth is thought to have subsequently commissioned Cockey to make another example as a gift to Queen Anne for her drawing room at St. James`s Palace (now in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich). Edward Cockey junior was born in 1701 and, although initially thought to have followed in his father`s footsteps, apparently chose to become a wine merchant instead. There is a record of the death of an Edward Cockey clockmaker in 1768 (which probably relates to Edward junior). The dial of the current lot, with decorated centre and lunar calendar to arch, coupled with the finely proportioned case (which has survived with the original finish intact) exhibits Edward Cockey`s individual and innovative approach to both function and aesthetic quality.
