A FINE FRENCH ENGRAVED GILT BRASS REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK IN ONE-PIECE CASEBOLVILLER, PARIS, CIRCA 1840-50 The eight-day bell striking movement with a frosted gilt platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the backplate stamped with oval BOLLVILLER, A PARIS trademark and numbered W, 710 to centre, the rectangular engine-turned silvered dial with small curved panel signed BOLLVILLER A PARIS bordering the lower inside edge of the slender Roman numeral chapter ring and with blued steel Breguet style moon hands, the bevel glazed one-piece caddy moulded case with hinged simple baton carrying handle incorporating tapered scroll engraved uprights above large top glass and fine continuous foliate trail and geometric border engraved rails and uprights, the rear with intensely engraved door decorated with hatched foliate strapwork and incorporating shutters for the winding and adjustment squares, on conforming cavetto moulded skirt base with recessed sections to angles.14.5cm (5.75ins) high with handle down, 10cm (4ins) wide, 8cm (3,125ins) deep.  Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. Bolviller is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development (page 432) as working from several addresses in Paris from 1830 until after 1870. Bollviller are known for being relatively early and inventive makers of fine French carriage clocks. Bolviller appears to have entered into partnership with C.P. Gontard in the 1840's as a Brevet was granted to both makers for a lever chronometer escapement in 1848. Gontard went on to show carriage clocks in London 1851 and patent two further related escapements and produce carriage clocks under his name alone.Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean condition, the strike train is fully operational. The escapement has two additional screws just inside the rear edge of the backplate suggesting that it was originally intended for fitment to a clock with plates slightly closer together than those of the current lot. From this it is likely that the present escapement is a well-matched replacement. The going train is not currently running as the escapement appears to be sticking. The dial is in fine condition with only slight mellowing to the silvering and a light concentric rubbing to the chapter ring. The case is in very fine condition with minimal discolouration to the gilding. The right-hand side glass has a small (only visible on very close examination) chip to then lower front corner otherwise glasses appear free from visible damage/corner chips.There is no winding key present with the clock. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE SWISS ENGRAVED GILT BRASS PETIT-SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING GIANT CALENDAR ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCKUNSIGNED, PROBABLY GENEVA, CIRCA 1840-50The two train eight-day movement with scroll-engraved gilt brass platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the strike train sounding the hours on a bell and with ting-tang notation for the quarters on the same and another smaller bell contained within the base of the case, the backplate with visible strikework incorporating strike selection lever labelled P/G/S and with alarm mechanism positioned to the top right sounding on the hour bell via a separate vertically pivoted hammer, the 5 by 4 inch rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with armorial for the Hesketh-Fleetwood family to centre and blued steel hands over subsidiary alarm setting dial next to and date of the month dial to lower margin, the engraved gilt brass multi-piece bevel-glazed case with hinged carrying handle over rectangular glass with rounded angles to the repeating scroll engraved top incorporating repeat plunger to front over repeating lozenge decorated cavetto cornice and hinged front door similarly engraved with zig-zag designs to frame and flanked by leafy trail decorate caddy moulded angles, the rear matching the front over cavetto tall skirt base with rounded angles and further engraved with band of lozenges over generous foliate scrollwork.20cm (8ins) high with handle down, 13cm (5ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. The armorial to the dial is thought to relate to the Hesketh-Fleetwood family however the cataloguer has been unable to verify this possibility. The practice of planting the strike-work on the movement backplate is typical of Swiss work, (in particular clocks made in the Neuchatel region) from around 1775; with the Courvoisier family being perhaps the best-known makers of carriage clocks to incorporate this system. A simpler clock, signed for J. Picard of Geneva, which shares some notable similarities within the detailing and layout of the levers of the current lot, is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 244 (Figure 15-6 a and b). 

A FINE FRENCH CHAMPLEVE ENAMELLED AND PAINTED PORCELAIN FOUR-GLASS MANTEL CLOCK GARNITURESAMUEL MARTI ET CIE, PARIS, WITH PORCELAIN DECORATED BY LEFRANC, LIMOGES, CIRCA 1900The circular eight-day gong striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by twin mercury capsule bob pendulum incorporating Brocot-type regulation to suspension, the backplate with Samuel Marti et Cie, MEDAILLE D'ARGENT, 1889 roundel to centre over stamped numbers 554, 4 11 to lower margin, the circular porcelain dial painted with cherubs in flight to centre within vertical Arabic hour numeral chapter ring and with scroll-pierced gilt hands within champleve enamelled bezel decorated in varying tones of blue, pink and purple with foliate designs, the case of stretched octagonal section with twin handled urn surmount painted with a globe and navigational instruments to the polychrome leafy scroll enamelled caddy surmount flanked by three pairs of finials each cast as a basket of flowers, the frieze with floral garland painted panel to front and with enamelled leafy trails to sides over bevel-glazed front door flanked by slender polychrome decorated Corinthian baluster pillar uprights and rectangular canted porcelain panels each painted with a scantily clad Classical female dancer within gilt rococo upper and lower margins and signed Lefranc to lower corner, the rear with conforming glazed door flanked by fixed bevelled glass panels, the skirt base matching the frieze but painted with a pair of cherubs examining a globe to front panel, on six leaf-cast compressed bun feet; the twin-handled urn side pieces each with waisted polychrome enamelled neck over shouldered ovoid porcelain body decorated with conforming Classical female emblematic of the arts/sciences attended by a putto, further signed Lefranc to lower margin and with Classical ruin landscape scene to verso, on waisted ring-collared upright terminating in a ogee-outline enamelled disc set onto a hexagonal base further decorated with enamel panels between the rounded angles over disc feet.The clock 38cm (15ins) high, 23cm (9ins) wide, 14.5cm (5.75ins) deep, the side pieces 28cm (11ins) high, 13cm (5ins) wide. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. Samuel Marti was a prolific maker of movements and roulant blancs and is noted by Leigh Extence as working from circa 1860 at Le Pays de Montbeliard, Paris. Along with Japy Freres and Roux they set up a business in 1863 to market their movements to such firms as L'Epee. Their Paris address was Rue Vieille-du-Temple from 1870.The porcelain painter 'Lefranc' appears to be unrecorded however a very closely related garniture (with movement by Kremer, Paris) was sold at Christies, New York at their sale entitled Living With Art 15th June 2016 (lot 248) for $5,000. This garniture, as well as been signed 'Lefranc', had green printed marks 'P.P' for Paroutaud Freres, Limoges. From this it would be reasonable to suggest that the porcelain elements decorating the current lot also originated from Paroutaud Freres of Limoges.  

A FINE FRENCH CHAMPLEVE ENAMELLED AND PAINTED PORCELAIN FOUR-GLASS MANTEL CLOCK GARNITURESAMUEL MARTI ET CIE, PARIS, WITH PORCELAIN DECORATED BY LEFRANC, LIMOGES, CIRCA 1890The circular eight-day bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by porcelain panel inset gilt disc bob pendulum incorporating Brocot-type regulation to suspension, the backplate with Samuel Marti et Cie, MEDAILLE D'BRONZE roundel to centre over stamped numbers 2553, 4 11 to lower margin, the circular porcelain dial painted with musical score and floral swags to centre within vertical Arabic hour numeral chapter ring and with scroll-pierced gilt hands within scroll cast and champleve enamelled bezel decorated in varying tones of blue and white with foliate designs, the case of stretched octagonal section with twin handled urn surmount painted with Cupid resting to the polychrome leafy scroll enamelled caddy surmount flanked by three pairs of turned finials, the frieze with floral garland painted panel to front and with enamelled leafy trails to sides over bevel-glazed front door flanked by slender polychrome decorated Corinthian baluster pillar uprights and rectangular canted porcelain panels each painted with a scantily clad Classical female dancer within gilt rococo upper and floral swag lower margins and signed Lefranc to lower corner, the rear with conforming glazed door flanked by fixed bevelled glass panels, the skirt base matching the frieze but painted with a pair of cherubs to front panel, on six engine-milled compressed bun feet; the twin-handles urn side pieces each with foliate knop to the fixed domed polychrome enamelled cover and conforming waisted neck over shouldered ovoid porcelain body decorated with conforming Classical females attended by putti, further signed Lefranc to lower margin and with landscape views to verso, on waisted ring-collared upright terminating in a ogee-outline enamelled disc set onto a hexagonal base further decorated with enamel infill between the rounded angles to the front three panels over disc feet.The clock 46.5cm (18.25ins) high, 24cm (9.5ins) wide, 15cm (6ins) deep, the side pieces 38cm (15ins) high, 14cm (5.5ins) wide. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. Samuel Marti was a prolific maker of movements and roulant blancs and is noted by Leigh Extence as working from circa 1860 at Le Pays de Montbeliard, Paris.

Condition Report: Movement appears complete, all original and is in working condition although service will be required; the pendulum is complete and appears free form damage. The dial appears free from visible damage. The case appears to be in fine original condition however the gilding is heavily worn and the brass generally fairly heavily tarnished.

The cloisonne enamelling is generally in very good condition with only very light surface fritting to the column shafts evident. The urn side pieces are in the same condition as the clock case including no visible cracks or chips to the porcelain bodies.Clock has original pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT BRASS MANTEL CLOCK GARNITURE IN THE CHINESE TASTE WITH MUTLI-COLOUR RELIEF PANELSACHILLE BROCOT, PARIS, CIRCA 1880The circular two train eight-day gong striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum incorporating Brocot type regulation to suspension, the backplate stamped with oval star-centred trademark AB over serial number 317 14, the dial with raised relief cast centre decorated in burnished gilt, copper and grey/brown patination with Chinese scholars within polished copper Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised star half hour markers and unusual asymmetric trellis pierced gilt hands within circular gilt bezel, the frosted gilt case with large grey/brown patinated and silver highlighted canopy-shaped finial to the stepped caddy pagoda superstructure applied with further disc and spire finials to angles, the front finely relief decorated in gilt, copper, silver and grey/brown patina with scene of courtiers within a trellis garden beneath the dial and with further figural infill to upper quadrants, flanked by stylised grotesque mask centred strip pilasters decorated with silvered strapwork, the sides inset with further panels of figures at leisure within conforming garden settings, on skirt base with generous cavetto top moulding over pad feet with shaped apron between; the garniture side pieces each modelled as a slender ovoid twin-handled vase with pierced flared rim over applied shaped figural panel matching those of the clock to front and on conforming square platform base. The clock 39cm (15.25ins) high, 21,5cm (8.25ins) wide, 13cm (5ins) deep; the side pieces 27.5cm (10.75ins) high, 10cm (4ins) wide. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. Achille Brocot is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as born in 1817 and died in 1878. The Museums Victoria (Australia) website notes that Achille patented several improvements in clock mechanism escapements, and invented the 'Brocot Suspension', an adjustable pendulum spring which enabled time keeping to be regulated by altering the length of the pendulum suspension spring by a key turned in the dial. He also introduced a jewelled deadbeat escapement, sometimes called a visible escapement as it was often mounted in the middle of the dial. Achille was awarded a first class medal at the Paris Exhibition in 1855, and in 1856 was appointed Treasurer to La Société des Horlogers in Paris. He published a 'Calculation of the Wheels by Approximation' in 1862. His sons Achille and Paul continued the business following Achille senior's death 1878. The firm was taken over by rival clock maker Gustave Gibaudet in 1889. The highly decorative panels of the current lot employs a series of differing techniques to gild, silver, copper and chemically patinate the finely finished relief cast and engraved scenes to provide depth and contrast. This rare form of decoration is normally only seen on a select few high-end carriage clock cases with an example illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 160 (Fig. 9.38) where the decoration is described as 'quite outstanding' and 'must have been one of the most time-consuming methods of decorating a carriage clock'.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and all original. The going train will just about run and the clock will strike but rather slowly indicating that a gentle clean/service is required. The chapter ring has been polished revealing the copper metal beneath hence will require re-silvering. The hands appear original and are undamaged. The case is in good original condition retaining original multi-colour finishes to panels with only relatively minor wear. The main body of the case is satin lacquered brass with mouldings and applied details picked-out with gilt and multicolour finishes; overall the cock exhibits slight mellowing and rubbing to the finishes. The condition of the garniture side pieces reflects that of the case however three of the handles have been pushed-in a little causing minor denting at the junction with the shoulder.Clock has a numbered pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A RARE FRENCH LOUIS XV BOULLE BRACKET TIMEPIECEHENRY SULLY, SAINT GERMAIN EN LAYE, CIRCA 1725The single going barrel movement with tic-tac escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum and rectangular plates incorporating canted lower angle united by four baluster pillars pinned at the rear, the backplate engraved Sully a St. Germain en Laye above the external mainspring barrel click, the 6 inch circular gilt brass twelve-piece enamel Roman numeral cartouche dial with Ho-Ho bird and lambrequin inhabited scroll-decorated centre within blue-on-white Roman hour numerals within rococo borders and with every minute numbered to outer track, with sculpted blued steel hands the engraved cut brass and brown shell marquetry decorated case with seated martial putto surmount to the domed caddy superstructure veneered with leafy scroll decoration and applied with foliate mounts to angles over swan neck centred crest flanked by rosettes, the front with brass-framed arched glazed door enclosing marquetry decorated 'tiled; floor and contra-parti veneered back panel to interior and incorporating cast panel featuring Ho-Ho birds grappling to apron, the surround decorated with leafy scrolls within line edging, the sides with scroll inlaid outswept upper sections terminating in batons applied with gilt swags over brass-edged windows with canted upper angles and arched lower rail over further laurel cast mounts to inlaid lower margins, on feet cast as dolphins with foliate scroll decorated apron between, (the movement previously with silent-pull repeat mechanism).58.5cm (23ins) high, 28cm (11ins) wide, 16.5cm (6.5ins) wide. Henry Sully was born in 1680 and was apprenticed to Charles Gretton gaining his Freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1705. After a short period working as a journeyman for his former Master he left for Continental Europe first to Leiden 1708-11 then to Frankfurt and Vienna before settling in Paris in 1715. Whilst in Vienna he published his first book 'Regle Artificielle du Temps' in 1714 with the first French version subsequently published in Paris in 1717. It was at this time he formed a close working relationship with Pierre LeRoy and presented his first 'Montre de Mer' to the Academie des Sciences in 1716. In 1718 he established a watchmaking factory at Versailles before setting-up another in Saint Germain en Laye in around 1724. During his time in St. Germain Sully continued developing his designs for a Longitude timekeeper and in 1726 one of his timepieces (utilising his modified version of Debaufre's escapement with two diamond pallets) was trialled off Bordeaux. Henry Sully unfortunately died in 1728 bringing his efforts to further develop his Longitude timekeeper to an abrupt halt; if he had lived longer it is possible that he could have devised an appropriate timepiece well in advance of Harrison's 'H4' of 1759.Surviving clocks and watches by Henry Sully are very rare; the current lot is probably the only 'domestic' timepiece by him to survive from his time at St. Germain en Laye.PLEASE NOTE description updated to confirm that the movement has a tic-tac escapement rather than a verge escapement 25/02/2022. Condition Report: Please note that the present clock has a tic-tac escapement not verge as indicated in the printed catalogue. The going train appears all-original and is in relatively clean working condition. The backcock is now fitted with a suspension spring for the pendulum - originally it would have had a silk thread. Spare holes in the plates indicate that the movement was most likely originally fitted with pull-quarter repeat work which has now been removed. The dial is generally in good original condition with visible damage limited to hairline cracks across the X and II numerals. Many of the cartouches have now been secured to the dial plate with solder applied from behind. The hands appear original and are very nicely sculpted.The case is generally in very good original condition exhibiting rich but mellow colour to the gilt mounts and brass marquetry. The veneers are in very good original stable condition with minimal lifting and only a few very small losses to the brass. The superstructure has had the joints reglued otherwise faults to the case are generally limited to very slight bumps, scuff, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use. The clock has a pendulum but no case key or winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE FRENCH GILT BRASS MINIATURE CARRIAGE TIMEPIECE WITH FINE FLORENTINE PIETRA-DURA PANELSTHE DIAL SIGNED FOR H. BOZI, FLORENCE, LATE 19TH CENTURYThe rectangular eight-day single train movement with silvered platform lever escapement and stamped with number 6216 to the lower left-hand corner of the backplate, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel spade hands and signed H. BOZI, FLORENCE to lower margin, the frosted gilt corniche case of Mignonnettes No. 1 size with hinged carrying handle and bevelled top glass over cavetto cornice and caddy moulded uprights, the sides and rear door with fine Pietra-dura panels depicting floral still lifes including roses and fuchsia blooms, on moulded skirt base.7.5cm (3ins) high handle down, 5cm (2ins) wide, 4.5cm (1.75ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. The current clock would appear to belong to a small group of carriage clocks incorporating fine foliate decorated pietra-dura panels which appear to have been made in a Florentine workshop. Others include a mid-size 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; another is pictured in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS pages 156 (Figure 9-33 a-d); a third example, by Drocourt, is 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); and finally an example, also signed for Bozi, Florence, was sold in these rooms on 21st April 2021 (lot 112) for £2,800 hammer. It is perhaps appropriate to surmise that as many examples from this series are signed for H. Bozi of Florence it is likely that the panels for these were made in the city by workshops principally under this makers/retailer's direction to decorate clocks supplied by Parisian makers - perhaps mainly for retail in Florence to wealthy visitors continuing in the tradition of the 'Grand Tour'.Miniature carriage clocks are called Mignonnettes or 'little darlings' and come in three graded sizes with No. 1 being the smallest.Condition Report: The movement is in clean working condition; the escapement is of good quality and is engraved SWISS, T. Martin, London W., 15 Regent Street. From this it may be appropriate to suggest that the escapement may have been 'upgraded' early in the clock's life; the silvering to the platform is a tarnished/discoloured. The dial appears undamaged. The case is in very fine condition with no visible faults to any of the pietra-dura panels as well as the glasses. The gilding is also in fine condition with minimal discolouration.There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE OXIDISED BRASS NEWMAN-PATTERN MERCURY STATION BAROMETERJOHN FREDERICK NEWMAN, LONDON, MID 19th CENTURYConstructed with two square section uprights joined at the top with a D-shaped section inset with silvered plate engraved F. NEWMAN, 122 Regent Street, LONDON, over cavetto moulded cornice and central large-bore tube with silvered scale calibrated in millimetres to the left opposing later brass for millibars to the right with rack and pinion adjusted Vernier slide between, the throat with plate engraved with Met Office MO trademark and number 1517 over Vernier adjustment screw and further Met Office plate with calibration note to the right hand upright, the base with substantial cylindrical cistern with band of glazed apertures and incorporating mercury tube Kelvin scale thermometer with bulb immersed in the cistern to left hand side, the instrument suspended via pivoted joint from a scroll-cast bracket with conforming steady bracket to base from an arched caddy-moulded mahogany panel for wall hanging.The board 133cm (52.5ins) high, 20cm (8ins) wide.  Provenance: The exhibition collection of Barometer World Museum, Merton Devon. Acquired direct from the Meteorological Office after withdrawal from use in a Caribbean station believed to be either the Bahamas or Bermuda. John Frederick Newman is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working at 7 and 8 Lisle Street, London, 1816-25 then 122 Regent Street 1827-62 when the business was taken over by Negretti and Zambra. He made standard and portable barometers for James Clark Ross's Antarctic expeditions (1839-1843) and exhibited at the Great Exhibition at Crystal Palace in 1851. Newman's design of station barometer incorporates movable scales to allow calibration against the mercury level in the cistern which may vary very slightly with changes in temperature. After taking-over the business in 1862 Negretti and Zambra continued making barometers to Newman's design including an example which was sold in these rooms on 2nd October 2019 (lot 41) for £2,600. 

A FINE FRENCH GILT BRASS REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK INSET WITH LIMOGES ENAMEL PANELSACHILLE BROCOT, PARIS, CIRCA 1880The eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and stamped with central AB within a star trademark over serial number 1225 to lower left hand corner of the backplate, the rectangular frosted gilt dial with recessed light blue enamelled hour disc decorated with gilt rosette to centre within Roman numeral cartouche chapter ring and with blued steel hands, the satin-gilt case with hinged reeded baton carrying handle and thick bevelled top glass to the canted-edge projecting top over caddy moulded cornice and elaborate ring-turned free-standing slender baluster columns to angles, the sides inset with intricately executed Limoges porcelain panels painted in the Renaissance style with portraits of a nobleman opposing female companion each within an oval reserve incorporating strapwork scroll border decoration onto a deep maroon almost black ground, the rear with bevel-glazed door over cavetto moulded skirt base with slender squab feet.17cm (6.75ins) high with handle down, 11.5cm (4.5ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. Achille Brocot is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as born in 1817 and died in 1878. The Museums Victoria (Australia) website notes that Achille patented several improvements in clock mechanism escapements, and invented the 'Brocot Suspension', an adjustable pendulum spring which enabled time keeping to be regulated by altering the length of the pendulum suspension spring by a key turned in the dial. He also introduced a jewelled deadbeat escapement, sometimes called a visible escapement as it was often mounted in the middle of the dial. Achille was awarded a first class medal at the Paris Exhibition in 1855, and in 1856 was appointed Treasurer to La Société des Horlogers in Paris. He published a 'Calculation of the Wheels by Approximation' in 1862. His sons Achille and Paul continued the business following Achille senior's death 1878. The firm was taken over by rival clock maker Gustave Gibaudet in 1889.  The exquisite side panels of the current lot are textbook examples of the finest enamel-work produced in the Limoges workshops during the second half of the 19th century. The Renaissance subject matter along with the colour palette (in particular the dark ground) revives the style for which the region became particularly well-known for during the 16th Century. Indeed the popularity and re-establishment of the Limoges enamel workshops during the second half of the 19th century was born out of a deep appreciation for the Renaissance originals which had become highly prized by connoisseurs earlier in the century. As often the case with French revivalist art the intention was to match (or even if possible exceed) the quality of the originals hence there was generally a 'no expense spared' approach to execution in order to achieve this objective.The panels of the current lot carefully and cleverly employ a mixture of opaque and translucent enamels to create depth, texture and lustre which varies under different lighting conditions. Some areas in particular, such as the areas representing silk within the garments of the figures, use the finished ground of the metal plate to great effect by allowing reflected to pass through vibrant pigmented transparent enamel surface layers.Condition Report: Movement appears complete, all-original and is in full working condition however the mechanism is a little dirty/discoloured hence a gentle clean/service is advised. The dial has a very light hairline crack across the centre of the disc (only visible on very close examination) otherwise dial is in fine condition. The case is in fine condition with good strong satin gilt finish only having minor localised oxidation/discolouration in places. The enamel side panels are free from obvious on close examination some restoration to the brim of the hat in front of the female figure's face can be seen. The rear door glass has a very small chip to the upper right hand corner otherwise glasses appear free form any visible damage.Clock does not have a winding key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE FRENCH MULTI-COLOUR REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH RELIEF-CAST PANELSRETAILED BY J. SEWILL, LONDON, LATE 19th CENTURYThe eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and stamped with serial number 2190 to the lower left-hand corner of the backplate, the dial with gilt rosette centred circular cream enamel hour disc inscribed J. SEWILL, Leadenhall, LONDON within white Roman cartouche numeral chapter ring, with blued steel hands set into a rectangular panel sculpted in relief with bird inhabited floral sprays picked-out in silver, copper and gilt onto a textured graphite-coloured ground, the bevel-glazed pillars variant case with arched part-silvered hinged carrying handle over top panel incorporating circular raised bevel-glazed panel, caddy-moulded upper edges and projecting ring-turned silvered slender baluster uprights to angles, the sides each inset with finely modelled relief panel depicting bird inhabited foliage in silver, copper and gilt onto a textured graphite ground, the rear with bevel-glazed door, the base with dentil band over skirt incorporating rounded projections at the angles, on silvered bun feet.17cm (6.75ins) high, 11cm (4.25ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. Joseph Sewill was born in Liverpool in 1816 and started up as a watchmaker, chronometer maker, and nautical instrument maker at 61 South Castle St, Liverpool in about 1848. Latterly Joseph went into partnership with two of his sons and is thought to have retired to London in 1862. His son, John Joshua Sewill (d. 1891) succeeded him and headed the business until his death in 1891, The firm was well regarded and opened branches in London (at 30 Cornhill prior to 1882), Glasgow and Locle (Switzerland). In 1867 a chronometer by Sewill won the Greenwich Trials and they became makers to the Admiralty. In the 1874 Greenwich Trials their chronometers came first and third. They also entered pieces into Kew trials, where a karrusel watch was awarded 81.8 marks in 1900. They won an award for 'services to horology' at the Paris Exhibition of 1862, and later became 'Maker to the Queen of Spain'.The highly decorative bands and panels decorating the dial and side panels of current lot employs a series of differing techniques to gild, silver, copper and chemically patinate the finely finished relief cast and engraved scenes to provide depth and contrast. A clock with closely related decoration is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 160 (Figure 9.38) where the decoration is described as 'quite outstanding' and 'must have been one of the most time-consuming methods of decorating a carriage clock'. Condition Report: The movement is complete, appears all-original and is in full working condition. The mechanism is a little discoloured/dirty so a gentle clean/service is advised. The dial is in good original condition, the address of the retailer is a little ribbed otherwise the enamel disc appears free from visible faults. The multicolour dial mask appears to be in flawless condition. The case is in very fine condition with only a few very slight spots of discoloration and a couple of the tiniest of bumps. The side panels are in very fine condition with practically no visible wear/discolouration. The rear door glass has a small chip to the lower left-hand corner otherwise glasses appear free from visible faults.There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE GEORGE II OAK CASED MINIATURE THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCKJAMES DELANCE, DOWNTON, CIRCA 1730The four rectangular section pillar outside countwheel bell striking movement with plates measuring 5.25 by 3 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 8 inch square brass dial with matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and signed Delance, Downton to lower margin, with a steel hour hand and male mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles, in a case with domed caddy to the box upstand and cavetto cornice, over hinged glazed dial aperture applied with baluster-turned three-quarter columns to front angles and with conforming quarter-columns applied to the sides at the rear, the trunk with cavetto moulded throat over 33.5 inch rectangular door with cockbeaded edge, on plinth base with moulded skirt (the movement lacking minute hand). 184cm (72.5ins) high, 38cm (15ins) wide, 234cm (9ins) deep. James Delance is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in Downton, Wiltshire in 1655. He is believed to have learnt the clockmaking trade from Lawrence Debnam in Frome prior to moving to London in 1677 where he was admitted as a Free Brother to the Clockmakers' Company the following year. Delance remained in London until 1685 when he left the city and returned to Frome where he set up business in Cheap Street - probably succeeding Lawrence Debnam who died in 1683 at the age of 40. Delance is recorded as undertaking work on clocks for Lord Weymouth at Longleat from at least 1694 until 1703. By 1721 Delance had moved to Downton, Wiltshire and was still working in 1736.Condition Report: Movement is generally complete but is in neglected unrestored condition. The mechanism appears free form alteration but the trains have had historic 'service' repairs namely re-pinioning of the all wheels with the exception of the greatwheels and hoop wheel of strike train. The escapement pallets also appear to be a 19th century service replacements. The dial is in sound condition which shows evidence of being polished in the past hence chapter ring has lost its silvering and now has a mellow/discoloured appearance. The minute hand is missing and the hour hand is most likely a replacement. The clock rests on blocks applied to a replacement seatboard indicating that the movement and dial are probably not original to the case.The case is in good original condition with the hood being free of significant/noticeable faults and is of good colour/surface. The dial is perhaps a little large for the aperture of the hood further supporting the probability that the movement and dial are probably not original to the case. The backboard is in good condition but has replacement strips applied each side at the top behind the hood and some scooping-out behind the movement suggesting a deeper movement was fitted at some point. The skirt around the base is a replacement otherwise faults to the case are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage, a few small repairs and wear commensurate with age.Clock has a pendulum, weight but no rope/chains. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY FULL HALF-HOUR STRIKING LONGCASE CLOCK WITH TRIP-REPEATHENRY HINDLEY, YORK, CIRCA 1750-60The four double-baluster turned pillar movement with plates measuring 6.375 by 5.125 inches enclosing fine high-count wheelwork, the going train with anchor escapement regulated by brass lenticular bob seconds pendulum incorporating Hindley's cranked crutch arrangement and bolt-and-shutter maintaining power, the strike train with inside rack for sounding the hour at the hour and then again at the half hour on a second smaller bell, with Hindley's dual direction pull trip repeat lever to the backplate and cranked calendar adjustment applied to the rear of the dial plate, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial to the distinctive richly matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track and signed Hindley, York to lower margin, with scroll-pierced blued steel hands and male mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a calendar dial flanked by dolphin and scroll cast mounts, the case with finial blocks to the ogee-shaped domed caddy superstructure over generous architectural dentil cornice and plain frieze to lintel over rectangular door incorporating both the glazed break-arch dial aperture and the upper quadrant panels flanked by free-standing full-height slender Doric columns to front angles, the sides with arched windows and further full columns set to the rear, the trunk with cavetto throat moulding over caddy-moulded break-arch door, on plinth base with moulded skirt and squab feet.252cm (99.25ins) high including finial blocks, 58.5cm (23ins) wide, 30.5cm (12ins) deep.  Henry Hindley was born in Great Harwood, near Blackburn, Lancashire 1699, little is known about his early life, however by the mid 1720's he was making clocks in Wigan where he repaired the church clock in 1726. Hindley moved with his young family (including his son, Joseph born 1728) to the prosperous city of York where, after making clocks for the Mansion House and Guildhall, he gained his Freedom of the city in 1732. Hindley s talents were such that he equipped his workshop with tools of his own design including an important dividing and wheel cutting engine, a screw cutting lathe and a fusee engine. As well as domestic clocks Hindley received commissions for several turret clocks including York Minster and supplied a range of scientific instruments including two important equatorial telescopes for the Duke of Norfolk and William Constable. By the 1760 s Hindley s health had deteriorated to the extent that an ever-increasing proportion of the business was handled by his son Joseph. Henry died in 1771 with his son and successor Joseph unfortunately dying just three years later in 1774, before he had had the opportunity to stamp his own mark on the family firm.  Hindley s work demonstrates a highly inventive exacting approach with each clock perhaps varying in some way to its predecessor ensuring constant refinement in design and layout. The quality of the finish of his work is generally exceptional being comparable to the very best London makers of the period which is why many collectors often refer to Hindley as the 'Tompion of the North'. The movement of the current lot is no exception being a particularly fine example of Hindley's work exhibiting inventive details such as the cranked pumping mechanism for the calendar dial, gravity fed rack striking and combined spring and stop for each of the bell hammers. The bolt-and-shutter maintaining power is beautifully executed and the trip repeat lever is ingenious in its simplicity using offset pins on a disk to ensure the lever can be tripped from by pulling from either side. The full-half hour striking of the current lot is unusual and is facilitated by having a second set of pins on the opposite side to the hammer pin wheel which are moved to act on the hammer for the second bell by pumping the arbor along its axis via a raised section of rim to a wheel in the motionwork engaging with a pivoted lever.The case of the current lot is also noteworthy in its quality and distinctive form. The timber used is the heaviest Cuban mahogany and the combination of crisp mouldings and fine turnings to the unusual full-height free-standing hood columns echoes the high-quality individual approach seen in Hindley's movements.Condition Report: Movement is in fine original condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. Although the mechanism is in full working condition a precautionary gentle clean and service is advised. The dial is also in fine condition but with overall patchy tarnishing and discolouration to the finishes. The movement rests on an appropriate oak seatboard onto pine blocks applied to the original thin solid mahogany uprights of the trunk. Although this arrangement is not what is normally seen on longcase clocks (and the blocks could be later) we are of the opinion that the movement and dial are such a good match to the case that they are most likely original to each other and that id the blocks are replacements it is probably due to historic damage/wear.The case is generally in very good original condition and with fine colour/surface. The domed caddy superstructure is a restoration; the finials are missing as are the mouldings to the upper edge of the top finial block. The plinth has an open shrinkage crack near the top edge and the feet are replacements. Otherwise faults to the case are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.Clock has pendulum (not original but period correct and adapted for Hindley's crutch), two brass-cased weights, a winding key but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A WILLIAM III EBONY TABLE CLOCK THE MOVEMENT SIGNED FOR JOSHUA WILSON, LONDON, CIRCA 1700 AND LATERThe six finned pillar twin fusee bell-striking movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum incorporating scroll engraved apron to the backcock the herringbone-bordered backplate finely engraved with a central cartouche enclosing signature Joshua Wilson, London within symmetrical foliate strapwork issuing from a grotesque and pair of lions masks just beneath the backcock apron, now with 7 by 8 inch rectangular brass dial plate with winding holes to the matted centre, within original applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer 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 and bearing engraved text Joshua Wilson, London between the lower spandrels, in a case with Quatre type double-scroll hinged brass carrying handle to the domed caddy superstructure over complex top mouldings and rectangular glazed front door incorporating scroll pierced brass to a lozenge-shaped aperture to the upper rail, the sides with rectangular windows beneath conforming frets and the rear with glazed door set within the frame of the case, on ogee moulded shallow skirt base with brass disc feet, (dial plate replaced, quarter repeat-work removed).39cm (15.5ins) high with handle down, 26cm (10.25ins) wide, 16.5cm (16.25ins) deep. Joshua Wilson is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born circa 1675 and apprenticed to William Fuller in 1688 but not Freed. It would appear that he was a Quaker hence did not sign the Clockmaker's oath of allegiance in 1697. After 1699 he carried on trade with the widow of Francis Stamper, paid quarterage until 1702, and is believed to have died in 1714.The engraved decoration to the backplate of the current lot can be closely compared to that on a clock by Francis Asselin illustrated in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 on page 265 (Figure 15.5). From this it would be reasonable to suggest that both the Asselin backplate and that of the current lot were engraved by the same hand; most likely a French Huguenot immigrant craftsman.Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition however was originally made with quarter-repeat work which has now been removed. The strike train is intact and appears all-original. The going train exhibits no obvious evidence of ever being converted to anchor escapement however the current escapement (including potances and backcock ) appear to have been renewed. As catalogued the dial plate has been replaced, the dial otherwise is in presentable condition with minor discolouration to the silvering of the chapter ring. The hands are probably replacements and the hour hand has a repair to its tip.The case is generally in sound condition with some historic veneer patch repairs most noticeable to the upper corners of the front door. The top surface has four filled holes from where finials were previously fitted, all the hinged have been replaced and the rear dock lock is non-original. The veneer overlap to the mask around the dial has several patch repairs and the base panel of the case has been replaced (well-executed) confirming that the movement and dial are probably not original to the case (hence why it has a replacement dial plate). Faults to the case are otherwise limited to relatively minor age-related bumps, scuffs and shrinkage.Clock has a case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A FINE WILLIAM III EBONY TABLE CLOCK WITH PULL-QUARTER REPEAT ON SIX BELLSDANIEL LECOUNT, LONDON, CIRCA 1700The six finned pillar twin fusee bell-striking movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum incorporating scroll engraved apron to the backcock and pull-quarter repeat sounding on a graduated nest of six bells, the herringbone-bordered backplate finely engraved with a central oval reserve enclosing bust of a Roman Emporer within winged crested mask and Eagle inhabited symmetrical foliate strapwork, the 7 by 8 inch rectangular brass dial with herringbone-border engraved winding holes, scroll decorated calendar aperture and shaped false bob aperture backed by silvered plaque engraved D. 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
