Provenance: From the beneficiaries of the estate of the eminent Anglo-Austrian economist and philosopher Friedrich August von Hayek. Albrecht Erb is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World as working as a master clockmaker in Vienna circa 1661. Britten, F.J. in Britten’s Old Clocks and watches and their Makers indicates that Erb was born in 1628 and died 1714. He is believed to have made watches, astronomical timepieces, horizontal table clocks and ‘Telleruhr’ (plate) pendulum timepieces. Examples of his work are in the collection of the Kunsthistoriches Museum Vienna and have been known to turn-up at auction with notable recent examples being a fine silver mounted horizontal table clock with grande-sonnerie striking which was sold at the Christies, New York sale of The Abbott Guggenheim Collection: A New York Kunstkammer 15th January 2015 (lot 96) for a buyer’s premium inclusive $47,500; and an impressive gilt brass Telleruhr offered at Sotheby’s, Paris sale entitled Pierre Berge -from one home to another 30th October 2018 (lot 4) for a premium inclusive 43,750 EUR. The arch to the dial of the current lot appears to be an 18th century addition hence in its original form the dial would have only been 3.375 inches square. This coupled with the overall compact nature of the movement suggests that it could have been made to ‘accessorise’ a table cabinet perhaps forming the centre-piece of an architectural pediment.

Provenance: From the collection of Sir Thomas Jackson, 1st Baronet (1841-1915), Gilford Castle, County Armagh, N. Ireland. Sir Thomas was involved in the creation of HSBC and was appointed third Chief Manager of the bank in 1876. He lived in Shanghai and Yokohama in the late 19th century and his statue still stands today in Statue Square, Hong Kong, in front of HSBC's headquarters. This fine cabinet with its decorative hardstone inlays includes an unusual material called pietra paesina or 'ruin marble' which is a sedimentary rock comprising of mainly compacted limestone and clay. It is almost exclusively found in Tuscany where the Medici Opificio delle Pietre Dure of Florence has used the stone since 1588. In Renaissance Europe it was highly regarded and in much demand from the Royal courts. In 17th century France it was prized by Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin. It has an almost painterly quality and the designs created by the natural veins of impurities within the rock give the impression of crumbling cities, landscapes, mountains and seascapes.
