He, together with Francis Rudston, Sheriff in the same year, grew wealthy from the vast amount of trade between Newcastle and London at the end of the 17th Century and the beginning of the 18th Century. From its arrival, the clock, which stood in the Mayor's chamber, was wound each year on New Year's night with great ceremony.After a Council Committee meeting late in 1834 to discuss the building's heavy expenses, the Mansion House was abandoned in 1835. The clock, together with numerous other items from its collection, was sold at auction in 1837. The purchaser was Sir Alderman Dunn of Newcastle, and it remained in his family for almost 150 years, in various parts of the country, until 1980, when it was sold at Anderson & Garland by his last surviving relative Miss A.M. Dunn. It was purchased at the auction by well known local publisher Frank Graham. Frank, lived in Jesmond but sadly passed away some years ago and his family have decided to offer the clock for auction again.The vacated Mansion House was later used for warehousing and sadly burnt down in 1895.Literature:North Country Clockmakers by C.L.

(2019) Engraving on English Table Clocks: Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800, Wild Boar Publications, (H3-3).Jacobus Hassenius was a Russian watchmaker made a Free Brother of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers in Jan 1682/3. He paid quarterage until 1697 when it is thought that he returned to Russia. The fact that his departure was in the same year that Peter the Great visited London is unlikely to be a coincidence. Peter was here (and had visited The Netherlands) to tour shipyards, keen to learn more on shipbuilding techniques. He also used the trip to visit the Royal Observatory at Greenwich and the Royal Society. As well as gathering knowledge, he also enlisted some 60 master craftsmen from London to follow him back to Russia. In 1698 Hassenius was granted a warrant ' to pemit James Hassenius to export to Muscovy for the use of his Imperial Majesty the Czar of Muscovy 13 clocks, 3 large or long clocks, a great table clock and some tools his majesty bought in the Strand '. Undoubtedly Hassenius' experience of working in London would have been highly valuable to the Tsar and Hassenius would have been obliged to return to his homeland.On May 1st 1703 Peter the Great captured the Swedish fortress of Nyenskans on the banks of the Neva and on May 27th St. Petersburgh was founded. Peter's ambition for Russia to become a naval power was fulfilled. The Russian Navy continued to receive English support throughout the 18th century.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A late 17th century walnut inlaid longcase clock of one month durationJohn Cotsworth, Londonthe hood with stepped and domed ebonised caddy over an inlaid frieze supported on spirally twisted columns to the front over a decorated throat moulding and long door fully inlaid with a lavish design of flowers and foliage issuing from a classical urn, on a matching base. The 11-inch square brass dial with wide winged cherubs head spandrels between engraved foliage framing the Roman and Arabic chapter ring, the matted centre with central rose engraving, ringed winding squares and decorated date aperture. The movement of one month duration with six substantial knopped and finned pillars, the small outside countwheel mounted on the top right-hand side of the backplate, now striking on a long, coiled gong mounted on the backboard. Together with a pendulum and pair of brass clad weights. The case of the same period, but probably associated. 2.26m (7ft 5ins) highFootnotes:John Cotsworth was born in 1637. He was initially apprenticed to Nicholas Coxeter, before being turned over to Jeremy Gregory. He gained his freedom of the Clockmakers on 5 July 1669. In 1698, he took out a 13-year lease on a shop in St. Dunstan's-in-the-West. The shop was described as being at the south-west end of St. Dunstan's church, next to Cliffords Inn Lane. Cotsworth and the shop clerk, John Grant, were listed as the sole occupiers of the shop. As Grant is described as being from St. Dunstan's-in-the-West, it is possible that he remained on in the shop irrespective of the owner, rather than having a specific relation with Cotsworth. Cotsworth is mentioned as having also been an engraver; as his second master, Jeremy Gregory, is believed to have gained his freedom from the Goldsmith's Company, it is possible that Cotsworth learnt engraving from him. It has been suggested that Cotsworth was a non-conformist, but this has not been proved. Throughout his career, Cotsworth would take five apprentices, three of whom were freed, perhaps the most famous being Edward Crouch. Crouch became Cotswoth's apprentice in 1682, gaining his freedom in 1691. By 1719, Crouch had become the Master of the Company, unfortunately dying four years later. Interestingly, Crouch's shop throughout his career is listed as being in St. Dunstan's-in-the-West. What relationship he maintained with Cotsworth after his apprenticeship remains unknown.John Cotsworth died in 1732; he was 95 years old, and was described as a watchmaker and the oldest living resident of St. Dunstan's-in-the-West. In his will, he left instructions that his Grandsons/Godsons, Cotworth and Robert, the sons of seemingly his only living child, Elizabeth, were each to receive £50. A Month going longcase from 1730 is also known from him, and a similar month going longcase by Crouch was sold by Bonhams in 2006.Boney, G.

A FINE LATE 17TH CENTURY EBONY VENEERED QUARTER-REPEATING TABLE TIMEPIECELangley Bradley, LondonThe caddy top with tied bud handle and four ball finials over a well-moulded cornice and base on button feet. The 6.75-inch dial framed by well-cast winged cherubs' head spandrels framing the silvered chapter ring, the periphery of which has Arabic five-minute numerals interrupted by half-quarter marks, around a minute band and Roman hour ring with fancy half-hour markers, the finely matted centre with chamfered mock pendulum aperture and signature between V and VII. The single gut fusee movement with knife-edge verge escapement repeating the hours and quarters on three bells and hammers via the repeat cord to the side, the backplate framed by a stylised wheatear border with shaded corners enclosing a series of symmetrical anemones within foliate scrolls, signed in an open reserve in copperplate script Langley Bradley, London. Ticking and repeating. 38cms (14.5ins) high.Footnotes:Sir Christopher Wren was a key supporter of Bradley's and may have influenced the decision to award him the contract for the new clocks at St Pauls Cathedral, Hampton Court and another in the Admiralty Building. King William III presented a Bradley watch to Wren on completion of St Pauls.Langley Bradley was born in Stepney in 1671, the second of five children born to Martha Curtus and Thomas Bradley, a gardener. In 1688, Langley was apprenticed to Joseph Wise, a member of a well-known horological family. His brother, Thomas Wise, seems to have known Joseph Windmills in some capacity, the latter of whom served as surveyor for Thomas' will. Three months after Thomas' death in 1696, his widow Ann, married Langley Bradley, who had gained his freedom a year earlier. This meant that Bradley was able to buy out Thomas' son's entitlement to his father's tools and materials; the inventory included a number of clock and watch movements, cases and a large clock which hung above the shop in the street. This clock gave Wise's house and shop its name, the Minute Dyall, in Fenchurch Street: Bradley is recorded as working here after his marriage, having previously worked in Whitechapel. The same year, 1696, Bradley assisted William Derham in his writing of the landmark book The Artificial Clockmaker. In 1706, Benjamin Bradley was born; Benjamin was apprenticed to his father in 1721, eventually being made partner in 1728. In 1726, Bradley became a Master of the Clockmakers Company, a position he would hold until 1748. Interestingly, Aynsworth Thwaites, who would go on to establish the Thwaites clock company, was apprenticed to Benjamin Bradley in 1735. The output of the Minute Dyall under the Bradleys was quite diverse, including longcase clocks, lantern clocks, bracket clocks, and watches. The firm also supplied a large number of turret clocks, using techniques Bradley possibly learned as an apprentice from his master's father, a noted turret clock maker. Seventeen turret clocks are known to have been made by Bradley, including one at Blenheim Palace, installed in 1710, whose escapement was later modified by Vulliamy, and one at St. Magnus the Martyr church by London Bridge, installed in 1709. Both these clocks are still working, though the clock for St. Magnus the Martyr has had the striking train disabled. He also maintained several turret clocks he didn't supply, including one supplied by Edward Stanton to the Royal Exchange. His turret clock work was not confined to London, ranging as far afield as Cambridge and Oxford; he is also known to have manufactured his own specialty tools to help him with his turret clock manufacture. Perhaps his most famous project, however, was supplying the original turret clock to St. Paul's cathedral in 1707. It was a massive undertaking, especially as it was desired that the clock should strike and run for eight days on a single wind. Unfortunately, the clock was plagued with time keeping problems; Bradley himself blamed the public, who were allowed to view the clock movement and apparently couldn't resist trying to ring the bell. A contemporary account, however, suggests that the movement itself was not robust enough to deliver the necessary power to drive the very large hands. Consequently, the clock was removed in 1717, and replaced with a thirty-hour clock by Wright and Street. Despite this, Bradley was still appointed Keeper of the Clock for St. Pauls in 1738, a position he held until his death.Benjamin worked at the Minute Dyall until his untimely death in 1744. A year later, the 74-year-old Langley Bradley moved back to Stepney; he continued to maintain a variety of turret clocks, though he no longer worked from a shop. He died in 1753, and the entirety of his estate was passed to his sole living child, Margaret Renard (née Bradley). She would also receive the final payment from St. Dunstan's Church, for Langley Bradley's work on maintaining their turret clock.Hodgson, B.

AN IMPORTANT LATE 17TH CENTURY EBONY VENEERED LONGCASE CLOCK OF THREE MONTH DURATION WITH ROMAN-STRIKING AND ONE-AND-A-QUARTER SECOND PENDULUMJoseph Knibb, LondonThe rising hood with shallow caddy top surmounted by three gilt brass flattened-ball finials over a blind fret supported by brass-mounted multi-piece Corinthian columns, centred by a cast gilt brass foliate swag terminating in tied ribbons, each side with pierced wood sound fret, the trunk with internal spoon lock and set with a mask to the centre of the upper cross-piece, the long door set with three panels, two long and one short, the sides matching, raised on a plain base and brass ball feet. The 10.5-inch square brass dial signed along the lower edge, Joseph Knibb, London between winged cherub head spandrels interspersed by engraved foliate boughs to the sides and a symmetrical foliate motif above, all framing the large expanse of very fine matting acting as the perfect foil to the silvered skeletonised Roman chapter ring with each minute engraved on the minute band. The quarter-hour track with small leaf-shaped half-hour markers, and finely fettled blued steel hands. (In typical fashion for a Roman striking clock, the numeral four is marked by IV rather than IIII.) The weight driven movement secured to the backboard with a brass L-shaped bracket, with arched and slightly shouldered plates united by substantial knopped and ringed pillars latched to the frontplate, both trains with large diameter barrels and finely shaped collets to the wheels, the going train terminating in an anchor escapement, the rear pivot of which is supported on a single-footed cock mounted on the backplate with a long crutch to the two-piece pendulum which hooks on to a spring suspension hung from a shaped bracket at the top of the backplate, with butterfly suspension. The backplate with semi-circular cut-out for the anchor pallets. The strike train using the Roman notation system of sounding the hours on a pair of hammers and bells – one large and straight-sided to represent the numeral '5' and a smaller, lighter example to represent the numeral '1', controlled via a small-diameter outside countwheel with four crossings and external detent. Ticking and striking, together with the pendulum and a pair of very large brass-covered weights. 2.135m (7ft) high.Footnotes:The foregoing is a list of the seven Roman striking, three-month going, longcase clocks by Joseph Knibb that are known to exist. It is immediately apparent that the current clock is in a very select group of Golden Age clocks. Perhaps even more telling is that of the seven listed, only one matches the current lot in benefitting from the additional refinement of a skeletonised chapter ring. The other skeletonised example is illustrated in the standard reference work 'The Knibb Family Clockmakers' by R.A. Lee, in figures 32 and 48. At that time, the images had been supplied by Messrs. F. Partridge & Sons Ltd, one of the great Antique dealing dynasties of the modern period. It has not been seen in public since its publication in 1964 and its current whereabout is not known to us. The current clock, therefore, offers a remarkable opportunity to acquire an iconic clock from one of the world's most revered makers.

A rare late 17th Century ebony table clock by a Knibb apprenticeJohn Drew, LondonThe case with elaborate foliate handle set within floral pommels on petal bases, the domed caddy set with four pierced foliate mounts and framed by berry-and-leaf finials to a moulded cornice over silk-backed cast brass sound frets to the front and sides, on a moulded base and squat bun feet, the front door with brass escutcheons.

Drew London, the deep blued steel hands reading against the finely matted centre. The twin gut fusee movement united by five knopped and finned pillars, knife-edge verge escapement and solid numbered outside countwheel strike on the bell, the backplate with single line border and symmetrical pattern of richly engraved floral scrolls framing the oval signature cartouche with male mask above the name John Drew Londini Fecit. Secured in the case via a pair of turnbuckles mounted to the rear of the dial. Ticking and striking with two case keys. 37cms (14.5ins) highFootnotes:John Drew was apprenticed to Joseph Knibb for eight years between September 1676 and September 1684, meaning Drew was likely born around 1662. Over the course of his career, he would train eight apprentices, though none appear to have gained their freedom. At some point in his career, likely early on, he was working out of a shop in Johnson Court, on Fleet Street. Lantern clocks and longcase clocks are known by him, including a couple of miniature lantern clocks, one with ting-tang striking. He displayed the same delicate minimalism in his work as was seen by Knibb, and it is easy to see the influence of his master in his work. In 1712 Drew was appointed Beadle of the Company, taking over from the deceased Richard George, an engraver who had held the position for over a decade. The official description of a Livery Beadle's duties was to attend every official Livery function, maintain the peace during meetings, look after robes, etc. Unofficially, at this time, the role was usually given as a source of income to members who had fallen on hard times. Many horologists and allied trades people would see their income disappear if they were to fall ill, their poverty continuing for the duration of their illness. Some trades had a higher-than-average tendency for this, for example, many engravers were known to have short careers due to sight loss; several years of very close, detailed work in pre-electric light conditions would cause them to become partially sighted. This may explain Richard George's long tenure as the Company Beadle.It is unknown why Drew became impoverished; in 1713 he began to receive charity payments from the Company in addition to his role as Beadle. He died around August of that year, though the Company would continue to support his now widow, until her death two years later. Interestingly, Christopher Gould succeeded Drew as the Company Beadle, though again, it is unknown if this was due to ill health on Gould's part. Atkins, C. E.
