Chequered wooden grips, secured by 2 rivets. Birds beak pommel with working release catch button. Steel scabbard with notched frog stud.

There is a little play when the blade sits in the scabbard, but the blade would appear to match the scabbard.

There’s a very small hole (possibly a moth nip) also to the left side, near where the strap meets the button. The inside is a little soiled, possibly from a accumulation of moisture in the past.

Both the metal throat and chape have old surface rust, and there is a little wobble to the chape, but it is still securely attached by its original staple.

Edward Prior is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as a maker of repute working 1800-68. His workshops were located at 18 Powell Street, King Square, Clerkenwell and he was the last of the celebrated Prior family who specialised in producing watches and highly decorative clocks for the Middle Eastern market throughout the latter half of the 18th century. The case makers mark 'I R' is probably for James Richards who registered various marks from 1793 to 1816.
A RARE PROVINCIAL SILVER LARGER PAIR-CASED VERGE POCKET WATCH WITH CHAMPLEVE DIAL JAMES WHITFIELD, LIVERPOOL, LATE 17th CENTURYThe tall gilt full plate single fusee movement with four Egyptian pillars incorporating fine scroll-pierced galleries pinned through the backplate, conforming pierced stop-iron block and verge escapement regulated by sprung three-arm steel balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine symmetrical tight foliate scroll and strapwork pierced and engraved balance cock incorporating classical profile bust to centre and grotesque mask at the junction with the conforming pierced and engraved foot, flanked by silvered regulation disc set within adjacent conforming applied scroll engraved panel infill opposing signature IAMES WHITFIELD, the silver champleve dial with fine blued-steel backed symmetrical foliate scroll pierced and engraved centre incorporating oval cartouche engraved WHITFIELD to upper margin and with small banner engraved LIVERPOOL within the lower decoration, the Roman numeral chapter ring with diamond lozenge half hour markers and incorporating a calendar aperture at twelve o'clock, within Arabic cartouche five minute numerals to outer track, the inner case applied with suspension post at twelve o'clock and the outer case with moulded rim, both cases unmarked, (lacking contrate wheel, hands and suspension bow).The pillar plate 4.1cm (1.625ins) diameter; the inner case 5cm (2ins) diameter; the outer case 6cm (2.375ins) diameter. A James Whitfield is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as a watchmaker who died in Liverpool in 1674. Loomes also records a watchmaker named John Whitfield as born in Liverpool in 1677 and married in 1688. Details such as the style of the finely pieced and engraved balance cock, pierced Egyptian pillars, Tompion-type regulation and squared-off shouldered to the case hinges would suggest a date in the mid 1690's for the present watch. From this it is probable appropriate to suggest that the maker was possibly an unrecorded son of the watchmaker with the same name recorded by Loomes as dying in 1674. Condition Report: As catalogued the movement is lacking contrate wheel and arbor. The escapewheel arbor is also bent and the balance staff top pivot is broken or loose. The fusee chain is also unhooked form the barrel, otherwise movement appears to be in sound original condition with original gilding showing only minor rubbing/oxidation and only a few slight scuffs/scratches near the movement pillars. As catalogued the dial is lacking its hands otherwise is in fine original condition; the calendar will advance as it should. The inner case is in sound original condition; the suspension post has been re-attached with a small base-metal strengthening plate riveted to the interior and the bow is lacking; the surface exhibits shallow denting with minor evidence of dent removal to interior. The outer case shows overall moderate wear and shallow denting; there is a slight split concentric with and near to aperture at the hinge side and the button for the clasp is missing.There is no winding key included.

A FRENCH GILT BRASS CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PUSH-BUTTON REPEATATTRIBUTED TO THE COUAILLET FAMILY, SAINT-NICHOLAS-D' ALIERMONT, LATE 19th CENTURYThe eight-day two train gong striking movement with platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the backplate stamped with a direction of wind arrow only, The rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel spade hands, the gilt brass bevel-glazed pillars variant case with tied leafy bud-centred scroll handle over rectangular glass and push button for the repeat to the leading edge of the top, with complex moulded cornice over acanthus collar decorated three quarter column uprights to angles, the rear with pin-hinged glazed door over ogee-shaped skirt base; with original tooled Morocco leather protective outer travelling case.The clock 16.5cm (6.5ins) high with handle down, 10.5cm (4.125ins) wide, 9.2cm (2.625ins) deep. The hand-setting arrow stamp to the movement backplate of the current lot conforms to that used by the Couaillet family as illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development on page 435. Couaillet Freres are discussed by Leigh Extence in his article The Carriage Clock Makers of Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont published in National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors Bulletin, 2020; where they are described as being one of the most prolific of the carriage clock makers of carriage clocks operating from the horological town of Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont (near Dieppe) during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1885 Armand Couaillet was employed by the prominent maker Albert Villon, but in 1892 he and his brothers Denis and Ernest set up their own workshops in the centre of the town as Couaillet freres. They increased the size of the concern when buying the house and workshops of Delépine-Barrois across the road in 1912. Condition Report: Movement is in clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is free from any visible damage. The case is also in fine condition with no notable faults and only slight very mellowing to the finish. The glasses are free of any visible faults. The leather travelling case is in good condition; the carrying strap is missing and the repeat-button has been filled, otherwise faults limited to relatively minor age-related bumps, scuffs and wear.Clock is complete with a winding key.

John Carter is recorded in Betts, Jonathan MARINE CHRONOMETERS AT GREENWICH as born in 1803 and apprenticed to Boys Err Burrill gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1829. He is listed in directories as working from Tooley Street, London as a watch and chronometer maker with additional premises at 61 Cornhill from 1840. He submitted many chronometers for the trials at Greenwich coming first in 1834 with chronometer number 144, and again the following year with watch number 160. He also became involved with the City of London becoming an Alderman in 1851 and serving as Lord Mayor in 1859. He also served three times as Master of the Clockmakers' Company in 1856, 59 and 64. In 1873 John Carter took his son, John William, into partnership who then continued the business after John Carter's death in May 1878. Condition Report: Movement appears all original and is in fine clean fully working condition. The dial has an extremely feint hairline crack to the enamel adjacent to the XI numeral (can only be seen on very close examination with light reflecting form the surface) otherwise dial is fine condition with exquisite engraved blind fretwork. The case is in fine condition with good strong even frosted gilding showing next to no wear or discolouration. There are a few very slight surface pin-pricks (probably very slight casting defects) to the front right hand upright, and the rear has a few spots of grime which most likely could be wiped-off with a soft cloth moistened with detergent. The right hand glass panel has a tiny shallow corner chip to the upper left hand corner (can only be detected on very close examination). Otherwise faults are very much limited to a couple of tiny/barely noticeable edge bumps.Clock is basically in near 'retail' condition and is complete with a bespoke winding key.Condition Report Disclaimer
A FINE VICTORIAN GILT BRASS GIANT CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PUSH-BUTTON REPEATPAYNE AND COMPANY, LONDON, LATE 19th CENTURYThe eight-day two train four pillar gong striking movement with substantial frosted gilt platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and with jewelled pivots, the platform table engraved No. 69683 and Fast/Slow regulation adjustment indication, the backplate signed Payne & Co.163 New Bond St., LONDON to centre and numbered 48, 62864 to lower edge, the 2.75 inch circular engine turned silvered Roman numeral dial with small concentric arched panel inscribed PAYNE & Co.163 New Bond St. LONDON to the upper margin of the fine diamond hatched centre, the outer track with dot minute markers interrupted by Arabic five minutes, with blued steel moon hands and set into a fine rococo foliate scroll engraved shallow arch mask, the heavy frosted gilt bevel-glazed case with hinged stylised reed tied carrying handle over large thick glass and bead bordered cavetto moulding to top the front with shallow arch glazed dial aperture incorporating angled brass fillet to interior flanked by canted angle uprights with applied reeded decoration to lower sections and outswept bases, the sides with fine scroll engraved rectangular panels set behind bevelled glasses, the rear with lift-out panel incorporating shuttered winding and hand adjustment square apertures, on stepped skirt base with reeded squab feet.21.5cm (8.5ins) high with handle down, 15.5cm (6.125ins) wide, 12.5cm (5ins) deep. Literature: The current lot is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS on page 344 (Figs. 23-24). William Payne recorded in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS as first working from at 62 South Moulton Street London in 1816. By 1825 he had moved to 163 New Bond Street where the company remained until the 20th century. William Payne & Company, watch, clock and pedometer makers appear in trade directories from 1852 specialising in finely finished carriage and small mantel clocks as well as watches and pedometers, and were one of only five English makers to exhibit carriage clocks in the 1862 London Exhibition. Their clocks often feature rich engraving, and it thought that through their close associations with Thomas Cole that they may well have employed the same engravers for some of their work. The case of the current lot is of a pattern also used by Dent (see Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their History and development page 262; Plate IX/38 and Roberts page 318; Fig 21) and is particularly pleasing in the way that its bold, robust and confident design (almost appearing Art Deco in its form) provides the perfect enclosure for the fine jewel-like engraved panels set behind thick protective glasses. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean fully working condition. Movement may benefit from a gentle clean/service in the not to distant future. The silvering to the dial is a little oxidised, the signature is a little rubbed but still legible. The mask is in fine condition. The case is in fine condition with no visible damage to the glasses and only very minor edge wear to the gilding. The top surface (around the top glass) has very slight discolouration to the gilding and the handle has some slight grime/wear within the reeded section to the centre.Clock is complete with a winding key.

A FINE AND RARE ENGRAVED GILT BRASS SHIELD-SHAPED REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK MARGAINE, PARIS, CIRCA 1875The mid-sized rectangular eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the lower margin of the frontplate with part-obscured stamped number 20..., the backplate with alarm winding to top left over stamped A.M. beehive trademark for Francois Arsène Margaine and serial number 11820 to lower left, the dial with circular white enamel Roman numeral hour disc with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and blued steel spade hands, set within fine foliate scroll engraved matted shield-shaped mask incorporating subsidiary alarm setting dial to margin and with canted surround, the engraved and chiselled cast gilt brass shield-shaped case with floral scroll-shaped hinged carrying handle to the acanthus cast shallow-ogee domed rectangular top panel incorporating repeat button, over egg-and-dart cast cavetto top moulding and repeating leaf bordered glazed front panel following the shape of the case, the sides applied with mounts cast as pairs of inverted entwined dolphins continuing downwards so that their heads, with mouths open and rosettes for eyes, form the four supports on which the clock stands, the rear matching the front but with the glazed panel hinged to allow access to the movement.14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 6.5cm (2.5ins) deep. The life and work of Francois Arsène Margaine is explored by Thomas Wortruba in his article The horological world of Francois Arsène Margaine published in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY June 2014 (pages 807-818). Born 1835 Margaine was one of the leading carriage clock makers of his time, married in 1865 to the couturiere Armandine Fresnais his first recorded workshops were at 20 Rue du Pont-aux-Choux. He then moved numerous times until by 1880 he is known to be at 22 Rue Béranger although the family home was at the address given for his wife's business, 19 Boulevard Haussmann. Margaine was an innovator and obtained many brevets, patents, for his ideas as well as receiving various awards at expositions both in Paris and elsewhere. He was active in the horological world and alongside such as Alfred Drocourt, was involved in setting up the horological school in Paris, l'École d'horlogerie de Paris, in 1881 as well as being an active member of the Chambre Syndicale having obtained full membership in 1877. Arsène Margaine's last address in 1914 was 54 Rue de Bondy. The extremely rare and attractive design of the case of the present clock no doubt draws inspiration from Swiss Pendules D'officier and Viennese carriage clocks produced during the Biedermeier period. Austrian examples following a similar trend are illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 154.

The firm of Gay, Lamaille and Company and their patent for the 'surety roller' is discussed by Thomas R. Wotruba in his article The story behind 'PATENT SURETY ROLLER' stamped on carriage clocks published in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY June 2019 (pages 239-47). Wotruba describes how the Patent Surety Roller (a mechanism which prevents the strike star wheel from accidentally jumping out-of-sync whilst the clock is being transported) was invented by Moritz Immisch for which he received a brevet in 1879. The patent was subsequently secured by Messrs Gay, Lamaille and Company of Paris and London. One of the firm's founders, Emile Gay(e), is recorded as working at 20 Red Lion Square, London in 1861 before going into partnership with a clockmaker named Vicarino and setting up operations at 5 rue Beranger, Paris. In around 1877-78 George Lamaille replaced Vicarino forming Gay, Lamaille and Company who through their strong connections with London supplied many of the leading English retailers such as Dent, Frodsham and Lund & Blockley during the latter years of the 19th century. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean fully working condition although the strike is currently an hour out-of-sync (sounds one hour behind). As catalogued the escapement platform is a replacement otherwise movement appears free from visible alteration or noticeable replacements. Dial has some light hairline cracks to the upper left-hand corner (only visible on close examination from oblique angle looking up into the corner behind the bevel of the glass) otherwise dial is in fine condition. Case has a small corner chip to the lower right-hand corner of the rear door glass otherwise case is in good original condition albeit with patchy discolouration/tarnishing to the gilding.Clock has a winding key.The Matthew Norman timepiece has overall discolouration/tarnishing to the case otherwise is in essentially unused but working condition. The original key is also present. Condition Report Disclaimer
A FRENCH GILT ANGLAISE RICHE CASED GRANDE-SONNERIE ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH FINE FRETWORK PANELSUNSIGNED BUT WITH SIMILARITIES TO THE WORK OF HENRI JACOT, PARIS, CIRCA 1890The eight-day two train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and sounding the hour every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with silvered platform lever escapement and alarm mechanism positioned to the top left sounding on the smaller gong, the dial with circular white enamel Roman numeral disc incorporating Arabic five minutes to outer track and with blued steel moon hands, set within a fine bright-cut engraved and pierced foliate scrollwork rectangular mask incorporating conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the frosted gilt brass bevel-glazed variant of the Anglaise riche case with reeded baton to the hinged carrying handle over thick top glass, repeat button to front rail, complex moulded cornice and dentil frieze, the angles with fluted three-quarter columns with Corinthian capitals and the sides with fine foliate pierced and engraved frets each incorporating central urn issuing a floral spray set behind bevelled glasses, the rear with pin-hinged glazed door, on generous ogee moulded skirt base with conforming dentil frieze and stepped lower edge incorporating shallow block feet, the underside with Grande Sonnerie/Petit Sonnerie/Silence selection lever; with original tooled Morocco leather covered travelling case.The clock 17.5cm (7.5ins) high with handle down, 11.5cm (4.5ins) wide, 9.5cm (3.75ins) deep. Provenance: Previously sold at Bonhams, London sale of FINE CLOCKS 20th June 2012 (lot 7) for £2,000. Although unsigned, the present clock is of notably fine quality with distinctive silvered platform and engraved fretwork panels reminiscent of those sometimes seen on examples by LeRoy et Fils and E. Maurice and Company; indeed examples by each of these makers, incorporating similar panels, were sold in these rooms on 21st April 2021 (lot 106) and 2nd March 2022 (lot 166) respectively. The scroll-shaped handle and ogee over stepped moulded skirt base are distinctive features which set the present case aside from the standard 'anglaise riche' design which generally incorporate an angular scroll to the handle and plain plinth base. The castings for the base mouldings, however, mirror those on a 'cariatides' case by Henri Jacot illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development on page 172 (Plate VII/24). As this particular variant of 'cariatides' case was favoured by Jacot the presence of these castings on the case of the present clock would suggest a connection to the workshop of Henri Jacot. Interestingly a grande-sonnerie striking clock with an identical pattern of 'cariatides' case to that illustrated by Allix and Bonnert, but housing a movement exhibiting identical details, such as pattern of winding arrow and annotations to the backplate, to the present clock, was sold in these rooms (in partially dismantled condition) 6th October 2021 (lot 111). Henri Jacot is recorded by Allix as working from 31 Rue de Montmorency, Paris as well as possibly having a factory in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont. The business was awarded Bronze Medals at the Paris 'Exposition' in 1855 and in London 1862; Silver in Paris 1867, 78 and 89 and Gold, again in Paris, 1890. Although Charles Allix notes that Henry Jacot senior died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew of the same name further research by Leigh Extence has revealed that after his death Henri's business was actually continued by his brother Julien who was essentially only 'keeping the bench warm' until his son, and Henri's nephew Albert, was able to take over and move the concern forward in 1874. The business is thought to have continued until around 1920. Condition Report: Movement is complete and appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or with noticeable replacements. Clock is running with the grande-sonnerie striking operating correctly including the selection lever to the base. The alarm is also in working condition. Although in full working condition the movement would probably benefit form a gentle clean and service. The dial appears free from visible damage or other faults. The case is in fine condition with minimal mellowing to the gilding. The glasses are free from visible damage/chips. The underside has a noticeable scratch through part of the strike selectin text and some slight discolouration otherwise is in fine condition. The protective case is structurally sound but has significant wear and losses to the leather covering and wear/fading to interior. The strap handle is also missing as is the slide-in shutter for the front aperture.Clock has a winding/setting key. Condition Report Disclaimer
