A fine and rare George I brass mounted lampblack stained burr field maple A fine and rare George I brass mounted lampblack stained burr field maple 'mulberry' veneered table clock with pull quarter-repeat on six bells John Wady, London, circa 1720 The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum and pull-quarter repeat on a nest of six graduated bells, the backplate engraved with bird inhabited symmetrical foliate scrolls and strapwork around a central basket of fruit, the 7.5 inch brass break-arch dial with false bob and calendar apertures and rectangular silvered signature plate JOHN WADY, LONDON to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with lozenge half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with fine sculpted blued steel hands and angles applied with female bust and bird inhabited scroll cast spandrels beneath arch centred with subsidiary STRIKE/SILENT selection dial flanked by conforming mounts, the lampblack stained burr field maple veneered inverted bell top case with generous brass handle and shallow frieze upstand above cross grain walnut top moulding and front door with raised brass bordered break-arch glazed dial aperture, the sides with conforming slender break-arch side windows and the rear door matching the front, on conforming cross grain moulded brass bound shallow skirt base with claw and ball cast feet, 49cm (19.25ins) high excluding handle. John (Jean) Wady is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working from 1724 and subsequently declared insolvent in 1729. Wady was born on the Channel Islands but is believed to have moved to London to become an apprentice clockmaker in around 1706 (presumably gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers Company in around 1713). On 30th May 1721 John Wady married Mary Davis at St. Bride, Fleet Street, London, he is also known to have taken two apprentices; his nephew, James (son of William Wady) in September 1720, and William Sparkes in 1724. When considering the relatively few known surviving clocks by Wady it is clear that he was strongly influenced by the work of French Huguenot immigrant clockmakers such as Claude Du Chesne and Simon De Charmes who were both working in London at the turn of the 18th century. Huguenot work is often highly inventive with many examples having complex dial layouts, musical movements and distinctive cases. The form and detailing of the case perhaps most demonstrates this Huguenot influence within the current lot whose slender proportions, upstand for the superstructure and raised surrounds to the glazed apertures echo features seen on a black japanned musical table clock by Simon De Charmes which sold at Sotheby's 25th April 2007 (lot 81) for £45,000 hammer. Similar details are also present on an ebonised striking table clock with complex dial by John Wady which sold at Bamfords, Bakewell 1st May 2013 (lot 1263) for £16,000 hammer. The burr figured veneers are particularly rare and impressive and were created by treating burr field maple with nitric acid and then lampblack to create the striking contrast within the natural structure of the timber. Treated veneers of this type were traditionally labelled as 'mulberry' and were almost always used alongside walnut cross grain mouldings.
