The partnership between the celebrated clock and chronometer makers John Roger Arnold and Edward Dent was formed on 30th September 1830. The partnership benefited both parties as it allowed Arnold to concentrate on development work and provided Dent with the opportunity to raise his profile and broaden the scope of his work. Throughout the 1830`s the partnership built a reputation for producing clocks watches and marine chronometers of the highest quality. In 1837 they were granted the Royal Warrant, however by 1838 tensions between Arnold and Dent had begun to develop resulting in the partnership being dissolved in 1840.

Edward John Dent was a talented horologist who at the age of 17 transferred his apprenticeship from the trade of tallow chandler to watchmaking under the charge of Edward Gaudin in 1807. By 1814 he was becoming well known as a watch and clockmaker receiving commissions from the Admiralty for a `Standard Astronomical Clock` and pocket chronometers for the Colonial Office Africa Expedition. In 1830 Dent went into partnership with the renowned watch and chronometer maker John Roger Arnold which continued until 1840 when he left and set up business alone as E.J. Dent at 82 Strand, London, primarily making marine chronometers, watches and precision clocks. In 1852 Edward Dent successfully tendered to make the Great Clock to be housed in St. Stephens Tower at the New Palace of Westminster. The clock was completed in 1859, apparently at a financial loss to the firm, however it ensured that the Dent name became a household name synonymous with fine clockmaking. After his death in 1853 the firm was continued by his successors becoming E. Dent & Co. in 1861, and operated from 4 Royal Exchange and 61 Strand between the years 1886 and 1904.

THIS DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ PRINTED IN THE SALE CATALOGUE OR AVAILABLE FROM THE SALEROOM ON REQUEST. Provenance: Part of a private collection, Gloucestershire, acquired between the wars thence by descent. Samuel Aldworth was apprenticed to John Knibb of Oxford in 1673 shortly after John had taken over the Oxford business of his brother Joseph, who had left for London in 1671. After completing his apprenticeship in 1680, Aldworth continued to work in the same workshop as journeyman until 1689 when he left to set up on his own. In 1697 he moved to London (the same year that Joseph Knibb retired to Hanslop) setting up business in the Strand. In 1703 he married Elizabeth Knibb (thought to be daughter of John) and by 1720 he had moved to Childrey, Oxfordshire. The current lot would have been one of the first clocks made by Aldworth after he had left the workshop of John Knibb to set up on his own in 1689. Features such as the pendulum suspension, separately cocked pallet arbor and butterfly nut regulation adjustment demonstrate a direct influence from his master. The dial is also closely comparable to those found on longcase clocks originating from Knibb, and the case was almost certainly supplied by his casemaker.

A fine George I brass mounted ebonised quarter chiming table clock of impressive proportions Simon DeCharmes, London circa 1720 The substantial ten pillar triple fusee movement (plates measuring 10 by 9 inches) chiming the quarters on eight bells and striking the hours on a further bell, the backplate profusely engraved with Ho-Ho bird inhabited foliage, the 10 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar and false bob aperture signed S. De Charmes, London within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, the angles with female mask and scroll cast spandrels beneath regulation dial calibrated 0-60 flanked by dolphin mounts to arch, the case with brass ball-and-spire finials to the brass edged inverted bell top above carrying handles and brass edged break-arch windows to sides, the front with conforming brass surround to dial aperture and upper quadrants, on moulded base with brass ogee bracket feet, 69cm (2ft 3ins) high excluding top finial. THIS DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ PRINTED IN THE SALE CATALOGUE OR AVAILABLE FROM THE SALEROOM ON REQUEST. Simon DeCharmes was a French Huguenot immigrant clockmaker who became a Free Brother of the Clockmakers Company in 1691. His work can be directly compared with that of his contemporary Claude DuChesne with both makers being particularly well known for producing highly decorative clocks usually playing music or with other complications such as long duration. There are at least two clocks known where DuChesne has supplied the movement to DeCharmes including a fine walnut three month duration quarter-repeating longcase clock which was sold in these rooms on the 9th September 2009 (lot 102). Simon DeCharmes is known to have been working in London up to around 1730 when it thought that he may have returned to France. The current lot demonstrates DeCharmes no expense spared approach to clockmaking, the massive movement with no less than ten pillars was clearly made with the intention to fill what is in essence an oversized case. The form of the case with its applied brass mouldings (particularly the aperture surrounds to doors and side windows) are typical of those used to house movements by DeCharmes during the latter years of his career in London. Other oversized table clocks are known, particularly from the Windmills Workshop (a walnut clock of large proportions was sold in these rooms 21st March 2007 lot 403), another example by George Graham with a rectangular dial was formerly in the Iden collection. It is probable that such clocks were either made simply to impress or to be utilised in a semi-public context where the use of a longcase clock would be problematic.
Lot 74

THIS DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ PRINTED IN THE SALE CATALOGUE OR AVAILABLE FROM THE SALEROOM ON REQUEST. James Beverley is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as being apprenticed to Robert Doore in June 1684 and released (but not freed) 1691.
