'The Bilbie family's horological contribution spanned the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Edward Bilbie (I) was born around 1666, he began his working life as a bell maker in Chew Valley and went on to add clocks to his repertoire circa 1694, possibly after attaching himself to the famous Webb family of horologists. The current clock is featured on page 234 of its accompanying book, Bilbie and the Chew Valley Clock Makers. It is signed Edw Bilbie fecit, which makes assigning it to a particular Edward Bilbie difficult, as all four generations of Edward are known to have signed clocks in this fashion. It is further complicated by the fact that, outside urban areas, clocks would not follow the same fashion trends as those made in cities. It is known as well that birdcage movements would be used on clocks after the 1790's in the Chew Valley. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A rare early 19th century brass-mounted ebonised balloon shaped table clock of small sizeTregent, London. The frontplate further stamped 'BEST 459'The case surmounted by an urn finial over side handles and waisted lower section applied with a sun-burst mount, on an arched base and brass bracket feet, the 4.75inch signed white enamel dial with Roman and Arabic numerals and matching blued steel hands, the twin gut fusee movement with balloon shaped plates united by five kopped pillars, with rack striking and trip repeat on a bell, the going train with deadbeat escapement, the backplate decorated with engraved symmetrical foliate scrolls 42cms (16.5ins) high.Footnotes:James Tregent, a French Huguenot watchmaker who settled in London, is listed as working between 1781 and 1808. His official title was 'Watchmaker to the Prince of Wales', although on his trading cards this was broadened to 'Watch and Clockmaker to the Prince of Wales'. He and his brother, Anthony, came to England together. Anthony was an enameller and part of the famous 'Battersea Enamellers' based on the south banks of Thames. He went on to establish his own shop on Denmark Street in London, and has been recorded as making dials for clocks and watches, no doubt due in part to his brother's career. See Ponsford, C. (2007) 'The Jourdain Family of Spitalfields, London: Specialists in Chime and Musical Work', Antiquarian Horology, Volume 30(3), pgs. 387-388 The inside of the front plate is punched 'BEST 459'. It is reasonable to suggest that this might be Robert Best, who was listed as working in London between 1783-1828. A strikingly similar balloon shaped table clock by Robert Best was offered for sale by Martin Hutton Antiques in Antiquarian Horology, June 1964, p.29.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Secured in the case with twin hinged latches at the base, and an L-shaped bracket to the left. Ticking and striking, together with a case key. 41.5cms (16ins) highFootnotes:Edward Stanton ('Staunton' is also occasionally seen) was born around 1641 and was apprenticed in December 1655 to Francis Bowen, a journeyman of William Bowyer. Stanton was later apprenticed to Nathaniel Allen in 1658, before he was freed through the Clockmakers Company around 1662/3 soon taking his own apprentices, including Stephen Wilmot and William Cattell. He became Master of the Company in 1697 and served until 1707. He probably died in 1715. As well as a clockmaker, he was also an engraver; in January 1673/4 he was accused of engraving Robert Seigniour's name on a clock made by Henry Jones, though no action was ever taken against him. In 1694 he was one of the original subscribers to the Bank of England and deposited £100.He seems to have been friends with the fellow clockmaker John Ebsworth and oversaw that his will was carried out on his death. He made a number of clocks including a turret clock for the Royal Exchange in 1671 as well as spring driven clocks, standard lantern clocks, miniature lantern clocks, longcase clocks, and a particularly rare night clock sold in these rooms in December 2007.No definitive Parish records have been discovered for Edward Stanton which may indicate he was a nonconformist. The above information has been gleaned from the Clockmakers Company records and Loomes, B. (2009) 'Edward Stanton and his Lantern Clocks', Horological Journal, Volume 151(01), pgs. 14-17.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
