A 19th century mahogany and boxwood-strung eight-day bracket clock; the oval hinged gilt-metal handle above a 20cm dial with Roman numerals and signed 'Gammon, Birmingham', the twin fusee gilded movement striking on a bell, together with pendulum and key, with pierced gilt-metal fish-scale-style side sound apertures and raised on four gilt-metal ogee-style bracket feet (39cm high with handle x 30cm widest point to feet at bottom) The case appears to be in good order, the dial is a little dark and has some flecks and cracks around the winding holes although not too bad. The gilt metal ogee feet have several pieces of gilding away commensurate with age. There are a couple of small bits of veneer away from the rear of the door around the framed glass and there is a small piece approx. 1.5cm square moulding at the back away. It is difficult to tell exactly if the movement is original to the case but in the Auctioneers opinion it looks good although no guarantees can be given. The piece has come from a good private source and as we understand it they have had it in the family for many years.
A good late Regency period rosewood cased and brass-inlaid eight-day bracket clock; the gilded pineapple finial on a pagoda-style pediment above foliate carving and an eight-inch cream dial with Roman numerals and signed 'Martin Worcester, Wednesbury', the gilded movement with a twin fusee repeating mechanism, individually numbered to the back plate and striking on a gong, together with an early 19th century mahogany clock wall bracket having beaded edge and scrolling-shaped support below, the clock raised on four gilt-metal bun-style feet (the clock 50cm high to tip of pineapple finial x 29.25cm wide x 15cm deep not including convex glass, the bracket 41.5cm wide x 21cm deep); in good working order at time of cataloguing
A good early 19th century brass inlaid mahogany-cased eight-day bracket clock; the figured domed top above an eight-inch cream dial with Roman numerals and signed 'P. Lacey - Bristol', flanked by two ring carrying handles above arched gilt-metal fish-scale-style sound apertures, the fine gilded twin fusee movement striking on a bell and with dogtooth and foliate engraving, with original pendulum, raised on four gilt metal ball-style feet, the front two feet with moulded decoration (42cm high x 30cm wide including handles x 17cm deep including convex glass)This comes with an insurance valuation from Montpellier Clocks in Cheltenham who original supplied the clock in 2008. They said it was circa 1825 and the valuation then is the same as that paid for it of £5,500. Signed Mr T. Birch. Looking at it from the front there is a very small fingernail sized piece of moulding away, front right where the arch meets the horizontal moulding at the top. Some of the brass stringing is very slightly proud of the mahogany. The dial looks to be in reasonable condition with some very minor pieces of paintwork away. Being super critical there are slight scuffs around the winding holes and again scratches and paintwork away. The mahogany case on top is of a nice figuring and there is a very small historic L shaped crack of about 1cm in between the 12 an 1 o’clock position at the top of the wood but in the Auctioneer’s opinion this does not detract. The sides look quite good and it is noted that looking at the from the left hand side there is a small 6.5cm piece away at the back of the “fish scale” side fret. The arched back door is glazed and there is an approx. 1cm square piece of mahogany away from the escutcheon hole on the left. The lock looks OK an it has a service ticket on it, which appears to be October 2014 by Time In Hand (Shipston) Ltd. This comes with pendulum, keys etc., and the bell is quite large and striking and the gilded twin fusee movement has been nicely engraved.
A late 20th century longcase clock produced to commemorate the Prince and Princess of Wales' 1981 wedding: the mahogany hood, centrally carved with a fleur-de-lys above two reeded Classical-style columns with gilt-metal capitals, pulling forward to reveal the gilded mechanism striking on four gongs; the silvered chapter ring with Roman numerals and cornered by pierced fleur-de-lys spandrels, signed 'Smallcombe, England'; rectangular trunk door and with three heavy brassed weights and pendulum, raised on bracket stile feet (191cm high x 49.5cm widest at top)
A George III ebonised cased bracket clock by 'Robert Ward, Abchurch Lane, London'; the pagoda-style top with brass handle and flanked by four gilt-metal pineapple finials, the white-enamel dial signed 'Robert Ward, London' and with Roman numerals, the pull string gilded twin fusee repeating mechanism with profusely engraved back plate and striking on a single bell, with pear-shaped bob pendulum and with glazed sides and back, raised upon gilt metal ogee bracket feet, with single key (42cm high to tip of vertical carrying handle x 28cm widest point at bottom of Ogee feet x 18.5cm deep) Robert Ward is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World as working in London circa 1751The clock appears to be in general overall original condition and has come privately and been in private family ownership for many years, coming to the market from a deceased estate etc. The clock appears to have gilded movement which is engraved with a twin fusee also. The dial is reasonable with some minor blemishes to the very edge mostly notable around the 5 to 7 o’clock positions on the edge of the dial inside the glass. The gilt brass ogee feet appear to have had some wear but overall the clock appears to be in good overall condition (see several images posted on the website). There don't appear to be any "spare" holes in the black plate and although the casing appears to be contemporary together and the clock has been in private hands for many years the Auctioneers cannot provide any cast iron guarantee whether the movement and case did start life together.I can guarantee that this has come from the main country house which sold for £10 million recently. The ebonised case (not including feet and pagoda handle) is approx. 35cm highest x 26cm wide.
A mahogany-cased eight-day bracket clock; late 20th century, the silvered dial with Roman numerals and signed 'Joseph Kieninger, Aldingen', the dial also with strike silent hand, Westminster/Wittington/St. Mich. hand and the subsidiary second hand dial below the 12 o clock position, the arched top flanked by canted fluted corners with turned brass urn finials, the gilded ten-jewel movement signed 'Original Kieninger' and striking on nine bells, raised on gilt-metal ogee bracket feet, with winding keys and pendulum (35.25cm high x 29.5cm wide x 22cm deepest)Condition Report: Generally overall very good, the mahogany case on the top is a little dirty and dusty but would clean off quite well. The dial at the front is good, no problems with the case, sides or back. The back door has a bevel glass which is in good order. The movement also looks to be in good order together with keys and pendulum and striking on a variety of bells as per the catalogue description. In the Auctioneers view this probably mid to late 18th Century in date and not as per previously catalogued. Overall good original untouched condition with no major condition issued.

It would be sensible to assume, therefore, that Attenborough bought this regulator for his own shop or workshop from one of his retiring neighbours on the Brompton Road. Two Attenboroughs are known to have traded in London, James in 1857 and George in 1869, George took his son into partnership in 1875.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.

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.

An historic and unique early 19th century brass skeleton timepiece sold by direct descendants of Robert Roskellthe small frame consisting of two halves; the upper section with skeletonised waisted plates united by four distinctive turned pillars, with 3 inch enamel Roman dial (hands and centre wheel lacking) and supporting the chain fusee and the main wheel train, the lower section with waisted horizontal plates united by four turned upright pillars with stylised acorn finials and ball feet housing a further set of plates united by another four turned and screwed pillars (of different design to those above) carrying the spring barrel, all mounted on the original velvet covered stand with mahogany veneer and bun feet, together with the original (damaged) glass dome, the chain fusee movement with a Massey type jewelled lever escapement with steel balance and diamond endstone set in a triple-screwed chaton, wound from the rear.Footnotes:Provenance:A direct descendant of Robert Roskell, watch and clockmaker 1798-1830. Robert Roskell was the vendors great, great, great grandfather. Three horological items have been passed through the generations, a watch, a bracket clock and this small timepiece. Family tradition has it that this piece was personally made by Robert as part of his apprenticeship. There is much to support this - the frame is not a standard pattern of the time, and he has used different pillars for the three main sections of the clock - the upper, the lower and the barrel frame. The fusee too would have been made especially for the piece. The pinions, which are well finished and of a high count, demonstrate considerable skill.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
