Lot 612
A large French ormolu and patinated bronze striking eight-day figural mantel clock (Pendule a la Geoffrin)After the model by Laurent Guiard, probably first quarter 19th CenturyModelled with a bronze reclining female figure reading a folio, her left elbow resting on top of the arched clock case, surmounted by a globe, on turned support with ribbons at the base, flanked by a female caryatid to each corner, each with a cone finial, the plinth with a moulded edge above fluted swept sides and rectangular base, the 6 1/2 in. circular white enamel dial inscribed Lefaucheur Her. du Roy A Paris, with finely pierced latten hands, Roman chapters and Arabic five-minute markers, the twin train movement with rectangular plates, rounded to each corner, with countwheel strike on a bell, silk suspension66cm wide; 48cm high; 25.5cm deep Not until Christian Baulez's 1989 article were the origins of this popular model fully researched. In his article Baulez identified that the first known version was commissioned by Madame de Geoffrin (1699-1777), a leading figure in the French Enlightenment. Her notebooks referred to it as 'ma pendula de Guyard', which has now been identified as Laurent Guiard (1723-1788), much celebrated following his January 1754 exhibition at Versailles of the equestrian statue of Louis XV. Her clock was most likely commissioned later in the same year. Another version which she commissioned in 1768 was presented to Denis Diderot, now at the Musée du Breuil de Saint-Germain at Langres. In his article Baulez suggests that the female figure representing 'The Employment of Time' is possibly inspired by the 1738 portrait of Madame Geoffrin by Jean-Marc Nattier (d. 1766), entitled 'Study'.Madame Geoffrin played host to many of the most influential Philosophes and Encyclopédistes of her time such as Diderot, who popularised, by association, this model of clock. The English purchasers, including Walpole, were Whigs, and opposed to George III's policies.A similar example with a movement by Le Roy, raised on an ebony base, is at Waddesdon Manor, illustrated, G. de Bellaigue, The James A. de Rothschild Collection at Waddesdon Manor, Fribourg, 1974, Vol.I, no. 17, pp. 104-107. Another, with movement by Berthoud, also on an ebony base and with a patinated bronze figure, is in the Wallace Collection, illustrated, P. Hughes, The Wallace Collection, Catalogue of Furniture, London, 1996, Vol. I, no. 99 (F267), pp. 440-443. The clock, once in the collection of Horace Walpole, was sold at Christie's, London, 23 June 1999, lot 120.There are a number of free-hand marks and notes on the movement: 1. On the movement's front plate 'Cariel Le 26 Mai 1828'. 2. The brass dial-mounting plate has a scratch mark 'Gille l'Aine A Paris ... Le grande figure couche'.3. The reverse of the enamel dial is inscribed in a light red ink 'Le Faucheur Hor. Du Roy A Paris', perhaps the dial maker's note; there is also another indistinct name?LITERATURE:C. Baulez, 'La Pendule à la Geoffrin: Un modele succès', L'Estampille L'Objet d'Art, April 1989, pp. 34-41

Lot 269
Jaguar XJ6 Sovereign (XJ40) Registration number: H459 WHH First Registered: 09-06-2000 Previously registered over seas, declared manufactured 1991 Engine Size: 3200cc Colour: Bronze Engine Number: 9BPANA101775 Chassis Number: SAJJHALG3AK637411 V5C present The contemporary fashion trends of the 80's were clear to see in the styling of XJ40 Sovereign unveiled in 1986. The overall proportions were unmistakably Jaguar, with an overall more angular feel to it, featuring rectangular headlamps as well as square rear lights. A real innovation for Jaguar was the quarter light in the rear pillar, creating six light style. XJ40 Sovereign was an instant success, and demand was initially greater than what Jaguar could supply. Under the skin, XJ40 featured a new rear suspension with double wishbones and the brake discs mounted outboard. The manual gearbox was a five speed Getrag transmission first seen on the XJS, while the automatic was a four speed ZF with a new shift called the 'J' gate. 'J' gate was the brainchild of Jim Randle; it allowed gears to be easily and rapidly selected for more lively motoring. Very few clean examples of this model due to a short production run quickly being superseded by newer models. This particular example sums up a time of economic wealth and customer's desire to show it, with bold colour schemes and sumptuous interiors. Finished in champagne gold and trimmed in beautiful biscuit leather, this is a true survivor of the lavish and indulgent 1980s. On inspection the interior is in remarkable, original condition with gleaming walnut and excellent internal brightwork. The engine is silky smooth and transmission changed effortlessly when expected. The coachwork is very original showing very few signs of age with only small areas of rust on the lower offside wing. Accompanied with a history file containing, old Mots, receipts, hand books and owner's manual. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lotOriginal paintwork with some signs of touch up. Lower front wings behind wheel arch rusted. Interior original with light wear. Leather seats good with light wear. Headlining showing areas of sagging. Wheels and Tyres good. Starts and drives well.
