An iron painted shop sign, early 20th century, probably by Edwin Lutyens, 1869-1944 depicting an Archer with bow and arrow, 56cm high. Edward Lutyens (1869-1944) In the early 1930's Sir Edwin Lutyens was requested to design an extension to the village of Cockington, Devon, in keeping with the existing thatched cottages. It was planned to include an Inn, shops and accommodation. Mainly due to the second world war only the Inn was ever built, however the village shop signs were also made. The signs were made in the old forge by the blacksmith Mr Bill Bradford. Lutyens first grooved out onto a plain sheet of metal the designs and then passed them onto the blacksmith.

Edward Biven does not appear in usual reference works however he his recorded in The London Gazette as watch maker and jeweller of 64 Great William Street as having bankruptcy proceedings filed against him April 8th 1854. The life and work of Thomas Cole is extensively documented in Hawkins, J.B. THOMAS COLE & VICTORIAN CLOCKMAKING. Thomas Cole was born in Nether Stowey, Somerset in 1800. His father, Thomas senior, was a local clockmaker who is now known to have moved his family to Taunton in around 1815; he was a talented maker who probably taught both Thomas and his older brother, James Ferguson, the clockmaking trade. By 1821 James Ferguson had moved to London and filed a Patent for a pivoted detent escapement, by 1823 he was working from New Bond Street where he was joined by his younger brother, Thomas. Over the next twelve years the two brothers worked alongside each other and produced a series of highly complicated silver 'humpback' carriage clocks very much in the manner of Abraham Louis Breguet (leading some to speculate a connection between Breguet and the Cole brothers). Please note:General opinion is that this clock is probably not by Thomas Cole. It is more likely to be attributed to E.W. Robins. [Please contact Auctioneer for full lot description]
