LeCounte, London to the matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and applied cast gilt winged cherub mask spandrels to angles within herringbone engraved outer border incorporating foliate scroll infill to upper and lower margins, the case with hinged brass carrying handle to the domed caddy superstructure and brass ball-and-spire finials over ogee and cavetto top mouldings and rectangular glazed front door, the sides with rectangular windows and the rear with glazed door set within the frame of the case, on ogee moulded shallow skirt base with brass disc feet.38cm (15ins) high with handle down, 26cm (10.25ins) wide, 17cm (6.75ins) deep. Daniel LeCount is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as most likely a Huguenot refugee from France who became a Freeman of the Haberdashers' Company before being made a Free Brother of the Clockmakers' Company in 1786. He took on many apprentices mostly of fellow Huguenot extraction including Daniel Lefebure in 1686 and George Vievar in 1693. Loomes notes a marriage to Ursula Davies in January 1681/82 and that he was living in the parish of St. Bartholomew by the Exchange along with his wife and daughter, Judith, in 1695. He signed the Clockmakers' Company oath of allegiance in 1697 and attended meetings until at least 1705. Daniel LeCount died in 1738 and was buried at Spitalfields. The engraved decoration to backplate of the current clock can be closely compared to that seen on a table clock housed in an elaborate mirror-panel clad case by fellow Huguenot maker Francois Langisse illustrated in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass on page 255 (figure 14.11). Although the designs vary a little, details within the execution of the leafy trails and the birds would confirm that both the backplate of the Langisse clock, and that of the current lot were executed by the same hand.Condition Report: Clock generally is in fine condition with no significant faults.Movement is in clean working condition and appears fundamentally all-original with no visible alteration or obvious replacements other a few of the screws, pins etc. The escapement exhibits no evidence of re-conversion with the potances and escape wheel itself appearing original. The backcock also appears original however the decorative engraved apron is probably a replacement. The pendulum holdfast hook also appears to be a replacement. The repeat work appears original and is in working condition; the bells have been deeply cleaned hence are 'fresh' in appearance. The dial is in fine clean condition although the minute hand may be a very well-made replacement. The case is in fine condition with visible faults limited to minor shrinkage, bumps and scuffs most noticeable to the rear left hand corner of the top mouldings. The interior retains the original seatboard and the base of the case appears undisturbed. There is evidence of cosmetic restoration with the left-hand edge of the front door possibly re-veneered and partial replacement of the veneers which overlap the dial to the mask behind the front door. The rails flanking the dial have some wear/chipping from the action of the turn-discs applied to the rear of the dial. All hinges and locks appear original. The brass fittings have been brightly polished and lacquered.Clock is complete with winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer
