A fine, impressive and very rare Victorian engraved gilt brass and malachite inset clock with thermometer and aneroid barometer in the form of a full-sized occasional table Thomas Cole, London, number 1 545, circa 1860 The eight-day movement resembling that of a standard Cole strut clock with rectangular frontplate stamped with serial number 1 545 and applied with two separate shaped backplates for the going and strike trains each with going barrels, six-spoke wheel crossings and three pillars secured by screws from the rear, the going train incorporating vertical shaped platform English lever escapement regulated by sprung three-arm steel monometallic balance, the strike train sounding the hours on a coiled gong mounted behind the movement, the left hand backplate stamped THOMAS COLE, LONDON to lower edge, the 10 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial incorporating recessed circular subsidiary barometer scale calibrated in barometric inches and with the usual observations and a curved Fahrenheit scale mercury thermometer to the finely engraved centre decorated in the Greek revival manner with hatched radial rosette incorporating anthemion motifs within a Vitruvian scroll border, with plain minute and cruciform hour blued steel hands within generous gilt cavetto moulded bezel incorporating concentric bead-cast borders and fitted with a heavy bevelled glass, the case with table-top incorporating quatrefoil lobed rim applied with eight malachite roundels set in pairs between anthemion and stylised scroll decorated projections of the stepped rim, the shallow dome-shaped rear panel centred with a square box enclosing the movement and incorporating winding/hand setting holes and shuttered escapement viewing aperture to underside, the whole mounted via hinged screw pivots and a curved graduated stay onto a conforming square plate attached by a rotating joint onto the elaborate two-tier triform base, the upper section with three slender square section uprights incorporating outswept bracket-shaped terminals to top over stylised panel and foliate scroll engraved feet resting onto a concave-sided platform stage with conforming fine foliate motif and gadroon border engraved detail, the lower tier with three further panel decorated square section baluster uprights mounted onto a substantial stepped triform block applied to a wide platform base adorned with three finely cast recumbent sphinxes within further finely worked stylised scroll and gadroon engraved borders, the underside with three adjustable disc-shaped levelling feet (surface with overall brown patination, barometer mechanism lacking), 49.5cm (19.5ins) wide across the top; 75.5cm (29.75ins) high with table top in horizontal position. Provenance: The current lot was a given to the vendor's father, a doctor, from a very grateful patient during the early 1960's, thence by descent to the present owner. The life and work of Thomas Cole is extensively documented in Hawkins, J.B. THOMAS COLE & VICTORIAN CLOCKMAKING. Thomas Cole was born in Nether Stowey, Somerset in 1800. His father, Thomas senior, was a local clockmaker who is now known to have moved his family to Taunton in around 1815; he was a talented maker who probably taught both Thomas and his older brother, James Ferguson, the clockmaking trade. By 1821 James Ferguson had moved to London and filed a Patent for a pivoted detent escapement, by 1823 he was working from New Bond Street where he was joined by his younger brother, Thomas. Over the next twelve years the two brothers worked alongside each other and produced a series of highly complicated silver 'humpback' carriage clocks very much in the manner of Abraham Louis Breguet (leading some to speculate a connection between Breguet and the Cole brothers). The brothers then went their separate ways with James Ferguson going on to explore his technical abilities later developing a series of escapement designs including a 'resilient' lever escapement (1830), a 'double rotary' escapement (1840), a detached escapement calliper (1849) and an escapement with negative diameter (1859). Thomas Cole sought to specialise in small decorative timepieces of the highest quality. By 1845 he was advertising himself as a Þsigner and maker of ornamental clocks' and in 1851 submitted examples for display at the Great Exhibition, both under his name, and on the stands of other leading retailers such as Hunt & Roskel and Hancocks. He then went on to exhibit at the Paris Exhibition of 1855 where his entry warranted an 'Honourable Mention', and again at the British International Exhibition in 1862 where he was awarded a medal for 'Excellence of taste and design'. Thomas Cole was elected to the Royal Society of Arts in June 1861; he died three years later of typhoid fever, at his home at 1 Westbourne Park Road, Paddington, leaving his second wife Charlotte and their three children (two boys and one girl). The originality and inventiveness of design coupled with the exceptional quality of finish ensured an enduring popularity for Thomas Cole's work, mainly from the rising Nouveau Riche class of Victorians made wealthy from the Industrial Revolution. Until the discovery of the current lot only two other full-sized 'table' clocks by Thomas Cole were known. Both of these were first documented as consecutive lots offered at Christie's, King Street, Important Clocks and Marine Chronometers 13th December 2000 (lots 63 and 64). The first was numbered 1884 and was signed for the retailer's Hunt and Roskell, London; whilst the second bore the numbers 1578 and 1505 and was dated March 1862 to the going spring barrel. Both of these clocks were very similar only differing in detail - mainly in the design of the engraving; they sold for the premium inclusive amounts of £69,750 and £71,950 respectively. It seems that these two examples were purchased by the same buyer as they were offered again by Christie's, in their sale of Magnificent Clocks, on the 15th September 2004. Presented together as a 'harlequin pair' (lot 29) they realised £81,260 including buyer's premium. Finally number 1884 appeared for a third time at Christies where it was sold for £73,250 on 15th March 2012 (lot 25). Although the current lot is outwardly similar than the other two known examples overall refinements and improvements in both its specification and detailing are evident. The dial incorporates the additions of a barometer scale and thermometer whilst the rim of the table is generally of increased complexity featuring a stepped layered edge. The base is also more substantial with the central platform being significantly wider than on the other examples. This allows the lower tier of baluster supports to be spread further apart and the base plate to have an increased footprint resulting in improved stability and more satisfactory proportions. In addition to this the horizontal elements of the both the central platform and the base are extensively engraved compared to the relatively simple single geometric band seen on the lowermost step of the other two examples. Overall the detail design of the engraved enrichments possessed by the current lot are particularly harmonious being in the Greco-Egyptian style throughout. This style of decoration was made popular by Thomas Hope during the first quarter of the 19th century and seems to have been used relatively sparingly by Cole and then only for his finest examples.

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 1817 he had become 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 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. John Roger Arnold was born in 1769, the son of the famous watch and chronometer maker John Arnold. He initially trained under his father and then Abraham Louis Breguet before, in 1787, going into partnership with his father. The firm of Arnold and Son subsequently became principal suppliers of early marine chronometers to the Royal Navy and lasted until the death of John Arnold senior in 1799. John Roger Arnold continued the business, in 1817 he was appointed Master of the Clockmakers' Company and in 1821 he was credited with the invention of the 'U' shaped compensated chronometer balance. In 1830 Arnold took Edward John Dent into partnership (after the unfortunate demise of his adopted son and likely successor); the partnership lasted ten years before being dissolved leaving Arnold to work alone until his death in 1843. The current lot can be directly compared to another example by Arnold and Dent (numbered 303) illustrated and discussed in Staeger, Hans 100 Years of Precision Timekeepers from John Arnold to Arnold & Frodsham, 1763-1862 , Pages 685-8. Staeger suggests that number 303 is possibly the earliest surviving carriage clock by Arnold and Dent, however it is probably appropriate to suggest that the current lot, being unnumbered, could be earlier. The distinctive sunken 'well top' design of the case is a form favoured by Dent which can also be seen on smaller models; a related case (containing Dent number 1302) is illustrated in Allix Charles and Bonnert, Peter Carriage Clocks, Their history and development on page 256, plate IX/22. The original mahogany outer travelling box is particularly noteworthy being a rare survivor in relatively good original condition.

His father, Thomas senior, was a local clockmaker who is now known to have moved his family to Taunton in around 1815; he was a talented maker who probably taught both Thomas and his older brother, James Ferguson, the clockmaking trade. By 1821 James Ferguson had moved to London and filed a Patent for a pivoted detent escapement, by 1823 he was working from New Bond Street where he was joined by his younger brother, Thomas.  Over the next twelve years the two brothers worked alongside each other and produced a series of highly complicated silver 'humpback' carriage clocks very much in the manner of Abraham Louis Breguet (leading some to speculate a connection between Breguet and the Cole brothers). Please note:General opinion is that this clock is probably not by Thomas Cole. It is more likely to be attributed to E.W. Robins. [Please contact Auctioneer for full lot description]
