Lot 288
A late 17th century ebonised bracket clock by Jacobus Hassenius, LondiniSurmounted by a twin-dolphin handle on the caddy top over a narrow moulded cornice, rectangular glazed apertures to a moulded base and block feet, the 6.5in square brass dial with winged cherubs head spandrels and silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring, the matted centre with engraved flower spray, the twin-fusee movement with five knopped pillars and engraved back plate, striking on a bell, 31cm high.Jacobus Hessenius was a Russian watchmaker who was made a Free Brother of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers in 1682-3. It is thought that he returned to Russia in circa 1697, the same year that Peter The Great arrived in London to study the craft of shipbuilding and the latest developments in science and technology, returning to the motherland with an army of experienced craftsmen in tow. There he built a powerful navy, as was his aim to ramp up his empire-building capabilities. Without doubt, Hassenius' experience of working in London would have been highly valuable to the Tsar, more than likely obliging him to return to his homeland.Case: General light wear, signs of age and small repairs including fine split to left end of front door sound hole; splits to lower corner of right hand side; small section of cornice in-filled at the back right side; Fine splits to rear door; fine splits to left hand side. Section of veneer missing from lower right base.Dial: Minor signs of age including very fine cracklure to numerals visible under strong light.Movement: Winds, sets, runs and strikes during inspection - not tested for timekeeping or longevity.
