A FINE AND RARE GEORGE III RED JAPANNED MUSICAL TABLE CLOCK MADE FOR THE MIDDLE-EASTERN MARKETRecordon, Spencer and Perkins, London, circa 1780The substantial six pillar triple fusee bell-striking movement with plates measuring 8.5 by 6.75 inches, verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum and playing a choice of four tunes after the hour on a graduated nest eight-bells via a transversely planted 3 inch pinned cylinder, the backplate engraved with delicate scrolling foliage around a central motif of crescent raised on a pedestal, the 8 inch brass break-arch dial with recessed shaped signature plate engraved Recordon, Spencer & Perkins. LONDON to the centre incorporating unusual raised polychrome and gilt painted flowering foliage infill within applied engraved 'Turkish' numeral chapter ring with conforming five minute annotations to outer track, with scroll-pierced steel hands and conforming painted flowering foliate infill to spandrels continuing up into the arch to envelop the subsidiary STRIKE/NOT STRIKE and MINUET/COTILLION/JIGG/GAVOT selection dials, the case with bell-shaped superstructure gilt decorated with vases and baskets of flowers onto a red ground flanked by acanthus sprays to angles, over double cavetto top mouldings and hinged glazed front door further painted with floral sprays and gilt ground panels to frame and spandrel panels flanked by conforming canted angles, the sides with generous hinged brass handles over concave-topped rectangular windows within further line-edged foliate panel decorated surround, the rear matching the front but without canted angles, on complex moulded skirt base incorporating scroll painted shaped aprons over acanthus cast brass scroll feet. 54cm (21.25ins) high, 40cm (15.75ins) wide, 24.5cm (9.75ins) deep. Louis Recordon is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Soho, London 1778-1824. Although Baillie asserts that he 'retired' in 1796 it is most probable that he had significant involvement up until 1824. Online records allow us to add that he was Swiss born, his workshop was in Greek Street, Soho and that he was the London agent for Abraham-Louis Breguet. In 1805 Recordon took over the workshop from the watchmaker Josiah Emery, one of the first to use the lever escapement after Thomas Mudge, hence many of his watches and clocks are signed 'Recordon late Emery'. Louis Recordon appeared to specialise in musical clocks (often for export), fine watches and was known to have devised a form of pedometer. The Recordon business was succeeded by Des Granges in 1824.The Partnership between John Spencer and Perkins (probably William) is recorded by Baillie as working from Snow Hill, London 1765-1806. Any association between the workshop of Spencer and Perkins and Louis Recordon appears to have not been formerly recorded hence it was most likely a relatively informal 'trading arrangement'. Indeed it was not unusual for such arrangements to exist especially amongst makers who often supplied clocks for the middle-eastern market, such as Markwick Markham, Henry Borrell and the Rimbault family as well as Recordon. The current lot has survived in remarkably original condition and exhibits many features typical of examples destined for sale to a middle-eastern client. These include the lack of any form of figural decoration, 'Turkish' numeral chapter ring, crescent motif to backplate and strong focus on floral designs (most notably to the dial). Condition Report: The movement is in good original condition with no evidence of alteration or noticeable significant replacements. The steelwork (wheel arbors) exhibits historic pitting indicating at some point the mechanism had surface rust. The escapement appears original and the clock is running, striking and playing music although the latter is a little lazy to start suggesting that a gentle clean/service is required. The bell-hammer rods and hammers for the musical train are replacements. The relief-painted floral decoration to the dial has losses and wear to the centre around each winding hole and has historic touching-in to spandrel areas and to the centres of each of the subsidiary dials in the arch. The chapter ring, subsidiaries and signature plate are no longer silvered but retain good strong engraving. The case is generally in fine original condition. The quadrant panel inserts flanking the arches of both the front and rear doors would have originally been fretwork and have been replaced with panels painted with floral sprays to match the rest of the case. Otherwise all other elements appear original and the surface decoration has survived in remarkably good condition with only minor age related wear, very slight repairs/touching in and flaking in places.Clock is complete with two case keys and a winder.

A RARE FRENCH CHARLES X MINIATURE ORMOLU FIGURAL MANTEL TIMEPIECEPierre-Honoré-César Pons, St. Nicolas, circa 1825The eight-day circular single train movement with anchor escapement regulated by anchor escapement with silk suspension and engraved PONS, a St. Nicolas to backplate, the 2 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with engine-turned centre and blued steel moon hands, the case cast with a female in flowing robes seated and resting on an anchor on a rocky outcrop enclosing the movement and applied with a cornucopia, on plinth base with acanthus cast band over tied baton apron and generous scroll cast feet; with an associated giltwood plinth.24cm (9.25ins) high, 19cm (7.5ins) wide, 6.5cm (2.5ins) deep excluding giltwood stand. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. Pierre-Honoré-César Pons was born in Paris in 1773 and after studying with the Jesuits in the rue Mouffetard he went to train under the eminent clockmaker Antide Janvier. Unfortunately the unrest of the French Revolutionary period disrupted his training but he was recommended by Janvier to the prestigious Lepaute family who took him on in 1798. Pons completed his training under the Lepautes and developed an interest in precision horology; in 1803 he opened his own workshop rue de la Huchette, near the Place Saint-Michel. In order to satisfy the financial demands of running a workshop, whilst taking time to work on the development of precision horology, Pons acted as supplier of movements to many the eminent horologists of the period such as Berthoud, Breguet and Lepine. During this time he developed several escapements and created improved wheel-cutting and pinion polishing machines. With the encouragement of Ferdinand Berthoud in 1804 Pons presented his 'Observations sur l'échappement libre' to the Academy of Sciences where it was praised by the jury and the Academy congratulated him. Around this time the French clockmaking town of Saint-Nicholas d'Aliermont was in crisis due to the collapse of the industry. Napoleon's minister responsible for Fine Arts, Industry and Commerce, the Count de Champagny, ordered the Académie des Sciences to find someone suitable to turn the industry around. Honoré Pons was approached as he had the necessary skills and had developed the tools and practices most appropriate for the task. After a period of reluctance he accepted on the basis that the state will pay him a generous amount for his machines as long as they were installed and used in the Saint Nicholas workshops. By 1808 Pons was producing fine quality 'blanc-roulants' for an affordable price which received high praise from makers such as Breguet and recognition by the Academie in their report to Napoleon Bonaparte.Over the following decades Honoré Pons expanded the Saint Nicholas operations and became a principal supplied of movements to the Parisian clockmaking trade from his premises in Paris's rue de la Barillerie on the île de la Cité. In 1827 he was awarded a gold medal and in 1839 was awarded the Croix de la Légion d'Honneur by King Louis Philippe. In 1846, at the end of an illustrious career, pons sold his firm to Borromée Délépine and retired, living in an elegant Parisian mansion at 20, rue Cassette.Condition Report: The movement appears to be complete and in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements; the mechanism however is a little dirty/discoloured hence a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised. The dial has overall light to moderate tarnishing to the silvering otherwise is in good overall condition. The case is in fine original condition retaining strong original gilding with minimal wear with only light to moderate discolouration to the more thinly gilded side and rear flat panels.Timepiece is complete with a pendulum and winding key; the non-original giltwood plinth has chips and losses to the gesso work, worn and faded velvet top lining and measures 23cm wide, 13.5cm deep and 4cm high.

A FRENCH EMPIRE PATINATED BRONZE AND ORMOLU MOUNTED ROSSO FRANCIA MARBLE FIGURAL MANTEL CLOCKThe dial now inscribed for Breguet et Fils, Paris, early 19th centuryThe circular eight-day striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum incorporating silk suspension, the backplate stamped with serial number 52 over ST, the circular gilt Roman numeral dial with concentric engine-turned centre incorporating curved sector bearing inscription BREGUET ET FILS, with blued steel moon hands set within repeating leaf and flowerbud cast bezel, the case cast with a standing robed Classical female muse leaning against a pedestal applied with a book resting on top of a laurel wreath, the plinth fascia with laurel and winged sceptre upper quadrant moults over the clock dial and stylised oil lamp beneath, on plinth base applied with generous mount cast with laurel wreath and palm decorated trumpets over repeating lotus leaf moulded skirt base with gilt block feet.51cm (20ins) high, 33cm (13ins) wide, 13.5 (5.25ins) deep. Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. The studious nature of the subject matter of the current clock was very popular during the French Empire period as they embody the 'use of time'. Condition Report: The movement is in working order and appears free form noticeable alteration or signififcant replacements. The bell is currently lacking and the strike train is currently operating half-an-hour out of sync (strikes the half hour on the hour and the full hour on half past!). This should be fairly straightforward to resolve (by repositioning the hands). The dial has some very light discolouration/mellowing to the gilt finish; the numerals have also been retouched. We are of the opinion that the text BREGUET ET FILS has been later added to the dial later and hence the clock is unlikely to have originated from the Breguet workshop. The case is generally in good original condition with the bronze patination and gilded finishes being original and only showing light wear/discolouration. The marble has some slight edge/corner chipping throughout and a filled repair to the upper right-hand corner of the skirt where it meets the lotus-leaf cast moulding. Faults are otherwise very much limited to minor age related blemishes.Clock has a pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
