The firm of Japy Freres et Cie was founded by Frederick Japy in 1774 who set-up a modest workshop in Montbeliard as a watch and machine tool maker. Japy expanded his business rapidly and by 1804, the year he was awarded the Legion d Honneur by Napoleon (in recognition for his Brevets in horological machinery), he employed 300 people at his manufactory in Beaucourt. From 1806, he took five of his sons into partnership and the firm expanded adding buildings at Badevel and La Feschotte amongst others to become one of the largest makers of clocks in Europe. The business continued into the Twentieth century but during the inter-war period went into decline and is thought to have finally wound-up in around 1840. A detailed history of Japy Freres et Cie is provided in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development chapter VI pages 133-48.

The business was continued under his name by his sons and Robert Jeremy until 1883. The current lot has remnants of a label inscribed with Arabic text to the inside of the lower rail of the front door suggesting that at some point it was in a Middle-Eastern collection.

A fine George III ebonised table clock with pull-quarter repeat Benjamin Vulliamy, London, number 272, circa 1796 The five pillar twin fusee rack and bell striking movement with half deadbeat escapement regulated by heavy lenticular bob pendulum with pivoted beam rise-fall regulation and pull-quarter repeat on two bells, the backplate signed Vulliamy, LONDON and numbered 272 within foliate spray bordered cartouche and fitted with hinged pendulum locking bracket, the 7 inch brass break-arch dial with small calendar aperture to the finely matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with fine pierced blued steel hands and applied rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath relatively shallow-profile arch applied with subsidiary silvered pendulum regulation and STRIKE/SILENT selection rings flanking a fan-shaped silvered nameplate engraved VULLIAMY, LONDON, No. 272 to upper margin, the inverted bell-top case with hinged brass carrying handle and crisp top-mouldings above brass fillet inset glazed dial aperture and foliate pierced upper quadrant frets to the front door, the sides with typical Vulliamy pattern symmetrical foliate scroll pierced arched sound frets, the rear with rectangular door incorporating break-arch glazed dial aperture and raised edge mouldings, on conforming moulded skirt base with generous cast brass squab feet, 39cm (15ins) high excluding handle; with a contemporary ebonised wall bracket with caddy moulded table supported by three fan-shaped scroll supports decorated with pierced Gothic tracery, 26cm (10.26ins) high; the clocks and wall bracket 65cm (25.5ins) high overall excluding handle. Provenance: The property of a private collector. Benjamin Vulliamy was born in 1747 and was presumably trained by his father, Justin. He was granted the Royal Appointment as the King's Clockmaker in 1773 before joined his father in around 1780 and was admitted as an Honoury Freeman to the Clockmakers Company in 1781. It was at this time he built a regulator for the King's Observatory at Kew which served as the Prime Meridian until Greenwich Royal Observatory took over in 1884. Benjamin Vulliamy is perhaps best known for his highly decorative sculptural timepieces in the executed in the Neo-Classical taste created from white marble and Derby biscuit porcelain with the finest cast and chased ormolu mounts. As Royal clockmaker Vulliamy supplied several timepieces of this type to the Royal family many of which still reside reside in the Royal collection (see Jagger, Cedric ROYAL CLOCKS page 117, figure 161). Benjamin Vulliamy was succeeded by his son, Benjamin Lewis, who worked from 52 Pall Mall, served as Warden 1821-5 and was appointed Master five times. The Vulliamys started numbering most of their clocks from 1788 until 1854. Two of the original Vulliamy work books still survive in the library of the British Horological Institute at Upton Hall, these often can provide valuable information regarding the manufacture and provenance of many clocks made by the workshop. Unfortunately the records are incomplete hence only note clocks with serial numbers 296-469 and 746-1067, which means that the current lot, number 272, remains unidentified. The confident and distinctive design of the current lot with dial incorporating twin subsidiaries to the shallow arch and case with squat proportions to the caddy surmount, crisp mouldings and design of side frets is highly typical of those produced by Vulliamy family. The movement is finely executed with crisp wheelwork, superbly finished fittings such as the two-part backcock and plates measuring around 4mm thick. The overall general appearance/proportions of the present clock remains essentially unchanged from those first made by Justin Vulliamy during the third quarter of the 18th century and similar examples continued to be made by the Vulliamy family into the second quarter of the 19th century. Indeed a related clock dating to around 1835 (number 1260) was sold in these rooms on 15th September 2015 (lot 192) for £22,000 hammer.

He worked in Little Britain, London and was declared bankrupt in 1761.
