A bronze and ormolu night clock , early 19th century, the enamel dial signed Bofenschen à Paris with Roman numerals set into a classical vase with lions head handles the reverse with glass projection lens, the main body with ormolu ornamentation supported on a bronze plinth with large ormolu starburst, 51cm high, 22cm wide, 19cm deep This very unusual clock is designed to be used both during the day and at night. The vase contains an oil reserve and wick that can be lit at night which projects the time through an adjustable lens in the reverse. The gilded finial is removed to act as a chimney for the flame. Bofenschen was an expert clock maker and inventor who flourished in Paris between 1780 when he was first recorded and 1813 when he was last recorded operating in the Rue du Temple during which time he worked alongside arguably the greatest of all French horologists Abraham Louis Breguet (1747-1823).

THE PAKENHAM ARNOLDA rare eight-day mantel chronometer By John Roger Arnold, London, No. 619, circa 1830In a Derbyshire 'Ashford' marble case attributed to John MaweWith gilt engine-turned bezel, beneath an associated glazed push-on bezel, with lacquered brass drum-shaped case; the 3¾in. white enamel dial signed 'Arnold London' and with eight-day power reserve indicatot, seconds subsidiary, and numbered 619, with gold Breguet hour and minute hands, the eight-day chain fusée movement signed 'Jno. Arnold / London / Invt. Et Fecit No 619 ', with Harrison's maintaining power, within semi-elliptical plates, the escapement carriage with blued steel helical spring, J. R. Arnold's U + I bi-metallic balance with diamond endpiece and Earnshaw spring detent escapement, a circular countersunk recess to the plate with blank locating holes and two screw-holes, blued steel screws; within a black marble case with a turned drum-shaped surround, on block foot, raised on a stepped plinth, the front diamond engraved with a Bacchic figure pouring wine, the sides each engraved with a griffin, (1 key)37cm high overall. IllustratedPROVENANCE, BY REPUTE:Possibly, Admiral Sir Thomas Pakenham, GCB (1757-1836)More likely, his son, Vice Admiral John Pakenham (1790-1876)Thence by descent through the Pakenham family to the current vendor.John Roger Arnold (1769-1843), the son of John Arnold, learnt his craft in his father's business and also working for Abraham-Louis Breguet in Paris. The Arnolds were in business as 'Arnold & Son' from 1787 until the father's death in 1799. John Roger continued with the business and entered into partnership in 1830 with Edward John Dent, an agreement which lasted 10 years. In Vaudrey Mercer's John Arnold & Son, London 1972, he mentions that No. 620 'would appear to be the end of this series up to the year 1830' (the start of the Arnold & Dent partnership). Plate 174 shows the third version of the J. R. Arnold balance, which this chronometer has. Designed with a non-ferrous bi-metallic bar, formed from silver and platinum, and probably used experimentally by the partnership.In the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers' Library (held in the Guildhall Library) is a household financial daybook from the Arnolds covering the period 1796 - October 1830. October 1830 is significant as the month in which the Arnold & Dent partnership was formally started. Intriguingly, Arnold's penned entry for 7 January 1830 in the account book is 'Mawe for marble cases'. It was probably not the first transaction between these two businesses, especially taking into account their proximity to each other in the Strand. Perhaps it was Mawe who would have supplied Arnold with his jewels for pallets, endpieces and balances? It is worth noting here, Arnold's use of the fine engine-turned bezel, which recalls his Paris training, as he would have seen such decoration incorporated there. John Mawe was the proprietor of the renowned mineral shop at 149 Strand, just a short walk from the Arnolds at 84 Strand. Established in 1811, Mawe had travelled the world and his shop would have been well-known to Arnold. Mawe (b. 1764 Derby) was apprenticed to the Derby mason Richard Brown (d. 1816) and married his daughter Sarah in 1794. They established a retail business near Covent Garden at the end of the 18th century called Brown & Mawe, selling objects created from Derbyshire marble and minerals, including 'Blue John', from the factory in Derby. The pedestal base is finely engraved, most probably with a diamond and would suggest Anne Rayner (b.1802-1890) as the artist. In her 1876 work English Female Artists, Ellen Crayton recorded that "Mrs Rayner was distinguished in early life for her beautiful engravings on black marble". Her work is rare, examples can be seen at the Buxton Art Gallery, as well as Chatsworth.Mawe died in 1829, and the Strand business was continued by his wife, who held the official title of 'Mineralogist to the Queen'. Their apprentice, James Tennant (d. 1881), continued with the business after her retirement during which time he oversaw the cutting of the Koh-i-Noor for the Great Exhibition.No doubt the Pakenham Admirals would have been well aware of Arnold's reputation and would have seen his chronometers used under their commands. It would have been second-nature to ask Mr. Arnold for a version that could be used as a mantel timepiece, as this eight-day chronometer does not appear to have been mounted in gimbals and boxed.In Staeger's book he lists 619 and gives a reference to a sale at Christie's as '11/1978'. There was no Arnold chronometer in this sale (Christie's King Street 22 November 1978).COMPARATIVE LITERATURE:Rupert T.

A rare French gilt brass carriage clock with two-plane 'chaffcutter' escapement Paul Garnier, Paris, circa 1840 The eight-day two train movement with two-plane 'chaffcutter' escapement and three-arm monometallic balance set between the plates and striking the hours on a bell mounted to the backplate signed on an applied plaque PAUL GARNIER, A PARIS towards upper left hand corner and stamped P.G., Brevete over serial number 514 to centre, the rectangular engine-turned silvered brass Roman numeral dial with radial design to centre within chapter ring and 'watered-silk' infill incorporating vacant signature plaque to lower margin and with Breguet style blued steel moon hands, the gilt brass one-piece caddy moulded case with hinged slender baton handle above upward sliding front glass for winding, on cavetto moulded skirt base with inset rounded angles, (in neglected, unrestored condition), 14.5cm (5.75ins) high excluding handle. Paul Garnier is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS as born 1801 and receiving Silver Medals in the Paris Exhibitions of 1827, 34, and 39; and gold medals in 1844 and 49. He worked from various addresses at Rue Taitbout, Paris and died in 1869 leaving the business to his son of the same name who was still exhibiting carriage clocks in the Paris Exhibition of 1889. Paul Garnier is generally credited for being the first maker to essentially standardise the 'petit pendule portative' which was in effect to become the prototype for the archetypal French carriage clock. The current lot with its 'chaffcutter' escapement, engine turned 'watered-silk' dial and squat one-piece case with wooden block insert to underside can be firmly identified as a 'Series I' carriage clock by Garnier as identified by Allix (see Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS pages 56-7).
