Lot 1200
A spectacular circa 1700 Louis XIV period Boulle Marquetry Pedestal Clock, having gilt bronze mounts and profusely and intricately inlaid with brass and pewter to the Ebony and Tortoiseshell finished case and pedestal. The work to the clock case in particular is outstanding, bearing the name "GAVDRON (GAUDRON) A PARIS'' but sadly it houses a somewhat later, but good quality, spring-driven two-train movement with external count wheel by well-known horologist Leuenberger, Sumiswald, this striking the hours and quarter hours on a gong. The face, 11 1/2" diameter, has Cobalt blue and white enamel on copper cabouchon Roman numerals, each minute to the perimeter being numbered with Arabic numerals, the blued hands having star-burst mounts, the timepiece being surmounted by a winged female figure perched on a celestial globe. Some losses to the inlays. It is staggering to contemplate the time and effort that must have been expended in creating such a work of art with the hand tools that were available some 300 years ago. The clock is 39 1/4'' high, 17'' wide approx. x 8 7/8'' deep, the pedestal 47" high x 20 1/2'' wide (max.) and 11 3/4'' deep (max.) A ''White & Co. Ltd., Furniture Depositories, Winchester'' label attached to the rear of the pedestal alludes to a Mrs. R.D. Baird (namely an Alice Patience Crawley) who was the wife of Major Robert Douglas Baird. It is understood that the clock along with other items still in the family's possession came by descent from General Sir David Baird of Newbyth, 1st Bt. (1757 - 1829). General Sir David Baird is renowned for his military career in India, Egypt and South Africa. Eventually the clock came down to Dawn Baird, second wife of the vendor's father. It is certain that this important timepiece came from ancestors of wealth and influence. The route of descent is believed to be as follows: General Sir David Baird to his nephew Capt. Wynn Baird, then to his son Lieut. Robert Henry Baird (1825 - 1905), then to his son Robert George Baird (1864 - 1938) and then to his son Major Robert Douglas Baird (1893 - 1969) and to his daughter Dawn Baird (1927 - 2010). Gaudron is known to have worked closely with Andre Charles Boulle, clocks of this historic importance are rare indeed and seldom come to the market but can occasionally be seen in stately homes and museums. There are examples in Windsor Castle, the Musee National du Chateau Versaille and Blenheim Palace. An example with a movement by Gaudron is in the Brussells Musee Royal d'Art et d'Histoire.
