A fine French gilt fretwork panel inset grande-sonnerie striking and repeating alarm carriage clock Retailed by Hunt and Roskell, London, circa 1900The 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 sounding on the smaller gong, the backplate with engraved retailer's signature HUNT & ROSKELL, 156 New Bond Street, London to upper edge and stamped with serial number 7348 to the lower left hand corner, the dial with circular white enamel Roman numeral centre decorated with gilt star motif, with grey-shaded chapter and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with blued steel hands set within a fine bright-cut engraved and pierced foliate scrollwork rectangular mask incorporating conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt brass bevel-glazed anglaise riche case with reeded baton to the hinged carrying handle over thick top glass enclosing pierced and engraved gilt oval insert framing the escapement, complex moulded cornice and fluted frieze, the angles with fluted three-quarter columns with Corinthian capitals and the sides with fine foliate pierced and engraved frets incorporating oval line delineated panel within the decoration set behind bevelled glasses, the rear with further conforming fretwork to the back door, on generous cavetto moulded skirt base incorporating shallow block feet, the underside with Hours and Quarters/Silent/Quarters selection switch, 17cm (6.75ins) high excluding handle. The firm of Hunt and Roskell can trace its roots back to the celebrated silversmith Paul Storr who was joined in partnership by John Mortimer in 1822. The business traded from 13 New Bond Street and specialised in the retail of silverwares, jewellery, watches and clocks. In 1839 Storr and Mortimer relocated 156 New Bond Street with Paul Storr retiring very shortly afterwards. The firm continued under the management of John Mortimer and Samuel John Hunt (who joined the business in 1826) trading under the name Mortimer and Hunt; which was then in-turn subsequently succeeded by the partnership of Hunt and Roskell (with Robert Roskell probably joining the business around the time of John Mortimer's retirement in 1843). Hunt and Roskell exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition with their wares including a selection of small engraved gilt timepieces by Thomas Cole whose work they were known to have retailed. Hunt and Roskell continued as one of the leading retail jewellers and silversmiths throughout the Victorian era becoming a Limited Company in 1898. They relocated to 25 Old Bond Street in 1912 from where they traded until being bought-out by J.W. Benson in 1965. The current lot can be closely compared to an petite-sonnerie striking example sold in these rooms on Wednesday 24th March 2020 (lot 98). This other example was signed by Le Roy and Fils, Paris and their similarity is such that it would be reasonable to suggest that the present clock was supplied to Hunt and Roskell by LeRoy who, at this time, were working from 13 and 15 Palais Royal, Paris. The fine quality pierced and engraved gilt brass panels of the current lot coupled with the robust anglaise riche design result in clock very much geared to the English taste with its overall feel and quality reminiscent of examples originating from the Leading London workshops.Condition Report: Movement appears to be in original condition with no obvious signs of alteration or significant replacements. The going train is running and the strike train will provide correct hours and quarter notation when the repeat button is pressed however it is not being tripped/set-off by the going train during normal operation. The alarm spring barrel will wind but is also not being set-off by the movement hence it is likely that the under dial work requires adjustment. The movement otherwise is generally a little tarnished/discoloured hence would benefit from a gentle clean/service. The enamel hour disc appears free from visible damage or repair, the alarm disc has a series of hairline cracks. The rear door glass is missing although however the fretwork panel (which was set behind the glass) is present and undamaged; all other glasses are present and appear undamaged. The gilding to the frets is generally in fine condition, the rest of the case however has noticeable rubbing and discolouration throughout. The strike selection lever to the base is present and will move however it is not known whether it will select the functions as the movement will not activate the strike train during normal operation. There are also two vacant screw holes in the base.Generally a good original honest clock which hopefully will not require extensive work to bring back to fine condition. Clock has a winding key.

A rare gilt brass carriage clock with push-button repeat, alarm and musical movement to baseUnsigned, late 19th centuryThe eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and sounding the alarm on the same gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 1525 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular engine-milled and stylised foliate scroll gilt engraved silvered dial with recessed circular Roman numeral centre incorporating gilt rosette and shield cartouche numeral decoration and with blued steel hands over conforming alarm disk to lower margin, the bevel-glazed gilt brass anglaise riche case with hinged reeded baton carrying handle over fluted cornice, Corinthian three-quarter corner columns, on architectural plinth base with complex upper mouldings and skirt enclosing a musical mechanism playing a Viennese waltz via a 1.5 inch pinned cylinder and tuned steel comb on demand only by pulling a plunger next to the winding key to the left hand side, on four turned toupe feet, 18.5cm (7.25ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. The provision of a musical movement in the base of the current clock is a very rare detail.Condition Report: The movement is running with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements; the strike train will operate but only by depressing the repeat button hence the under-dial release mechanism requires adjustment (looking in form the side the respective lever etc. appears to be present). The movement is generally somewhat dirty/oily hence a gentle clean/service is required. The musical movement in the base is intact and working with no visible damage to the combs or pins; the sound is also good. The dial has rubbing/wear to the Roman numerals and slight tarnishing to the hour disc otherwise in in fine condition. The front glass has some shallow internal chipping to both upper corners (visible on close examination) otherwise glasses are free from visible damage. The gilding to the case is in fine condition with no visible wear or discolouration and the surfaces are free from any scuffs/blemishes worth noting although a couple of very tiny bumps can be found to the extremities of the mouldings. The base plate is missing two securing screws however these are superfluous as the panel is held secure by the feet.There is no key present for the movement however there is one for the musical mechanism.

In 1869, the firm was listed as 'Goldsmiths to the Queen, Jewellers, Watchmakers and Silversmiths'.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and original with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The strike train is working however the going train is currently not running due to the balance staff of the escapement being broken; the platform is also heavily tarnished but the mainspring is sound. The dial has some very slight concentric rubbing to the silvering (most likely from the hour hand at some point in the past) and a light scratch to the mask next to the IIII numeral otherwise the panel is in good condition with overall slight patchy discolouration. Both side panels are in fine condition with minimal wear although the right hand side has a very small scuff to the gilt background just above the female figure's head. The front glass appears free from visible damage and the gilding is in fine condition with only one or two spots of discolouration.The travelling case is missing its strap handle and has overall light rubbing and wear, clock has a winding key.

Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands.

In around 1874 they opened a branch at Mansion House Buildings, 19 Poultry, Cheapside, London and became a Limited Company in 1925. In 1963 Edward and Sons Limited were still trading from St. Vincent Street, Glasgow but were subsequently absorbed into the Mappin and Webb empire.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and original with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The strike train is working however the going train is currently not running most likely due to being 'gummed-up' as mechanism is a little dirty/discoloured. The escapement appears undamaged (although the platform is heavily tarnished) and the mainspring is sound. The dial has some slight concentric rubbing to the gilding (most likely from the hour hand at some point in the past) and a scratch between the VIII and X numerals otherwise the panel is in good condition with only very light wear and discolouration. Both side panels are in fine condition with minimal wear; although the right hand side figure appears to have a very slight firing fault to the glaze towards the hem of the green skirt. The glasses appear free from visible damage and the gilding is in fine condition with minimal edge wear.The travelling case is missing it's dial shutter panel and has overall light rubbing and wear, clock has a winding key.

A rare French carriage clock inset with fine Florentine pietra-dura panelsRetailed by H. Bozi, Florence, circa 1880The eight-day bell striking movement with silvered platform cylinder escapement and stamped with serial number 531 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular black marble dial panel signed H. Bozi, Firenze to centre with gilt Roman hour numerals and spade hands within surround finely inlaid in various hardstones with delicate floral sprays, the bevel-glazed corniche case with hinged carrying handle and oval top glass over cavetto cornice and caddy moulded uprights, the sides and rear door with further Pietra-dura panels depicting floral still lifes including roses and fuchsia blooms, on moulded skirt base, 13.5 (5.75ins) high excluding handle. The current clock would appear to belong to a small series of carriage clocks incorporating fine foliate decorated pietra-dura panels which appear to have been made in the same workshop. Others in the series include a slightly smaller clock with alarm and push button repeat which was sold at Christies, King Street, London Important clocks and marine chronometers 20th February 2008 (lot 11) for £3000; a very similar example to the present clock pictured in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS pages 156 (Figure 9-33 a-d); and an example by Drocourt illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development, (this time housed in an anglaise riche case) on page 180 (Plates VII/C13-14). It is perhaps interesting to note that the Christies example is also signed for H. Bozi of Florence which would strongly support the idea that the panels for this series were made in Florence by one workshop to decorate clocks supplied by Parisian makers mainly for retail in Florence to wealthy visitors continuing in the tradition of the 'Grand Tour'. Condition Report: Movement is fairly clean and in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial appears free from visible damage and the numerals/signature have minimal wear. The left hand panel has a cracked section to the upper left hand corner, another very small to the opposite corner and a very light vertical hairline to the centre of the lower edge. The right hand panel has a smaller cracked section also to the upper left; both side panels also have some very light edge wear. The rear panel has a very light horizontal hairline to the right hand margin. All the delicate inlaid hardstone decoration is undisturbed. The case has traces of earlier silvering and currently has streaking/tarnishing due to the brass finish otherwise appears to be free form noticeable faults.There is a leather protective case present which fits the clock well but is not original to the clock. The case has overall wear to the surface and is lacking its strap and integral repeat button pad (not required as the current clock does not have a repeat button).There is no winding key.
