A French gilt brass mantel clock garniture in the Chinese taste with fine multi-coloured relief cast 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 6002 14, the dial with raised relief cast centre decorated in burnished gilt, copper and grey/brown patination with Chinese scholars within silvered 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, 39cm (15.25ins) high; 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, 27.5cm (10.75ins) high. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, 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 incorporating comparable decoration to all parts of the case also included in the present sale (lot XX). Another is also 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 is in working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements with the exception of the hammer for the gong; the mechanism is very dirty hence a clean and overhaul is required. The chapter ring of the dial is a little rubbed with some light patchy oxidation. The case is generally in good original unrestored condition with only very light wear to the original finishes however there is overall light/moderate discolouration and tarnishing predominantly to the gilding. The rear panel is missing two of its four securing screws. The urn side pieces are in sound original condition (commensurate with the case) with faults limited to one or two very slight dents.Clock is complete with pendulum and winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A French gilt brass four-glass mantel clockThe movement by Samuel Marti et Cie, Paris, late 19th centuryThe circular eight-day gong striking movement with visible Brocot escapement set within the centre of the dial regulated by twin mercury capsule pendulum with Brocot adjustment to suspension, the backplate stamped with Samuel Marti et Cie, MEDAILLE DE BRONZE roundel, oval cartouche A.1 and numbers 208, 6 9, the circular white enamel Roman numeral dial with visible escapement to the recessed centre, gilt collets to the winding holes and blued steel hands, the case with cavetto moulded cornice above bevel-glazed front door, side panels and rear door set between caddy moulded corner uprights, on cavetto moulded skirt base incorporating bracket feet, 33cm (13ins) high.Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial appears free from visible damage. The front and rear glasses each have some chipping to the lower right corner which is reasonably noticeable otherwise glasses appear free from noticeable damage, (none of the chips tom the front and rear glasses could be described as 'disfiguring'). The case is in fine clean condition with next to no wear or discolouration to the finish.Clock has original pendulum (undamaged) and a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A French gilt brass four-glass mantel clockThe movement by Japy Freres, Paris, circa 1900The circular eight-day gong striking movement with Brocot escapement regulated by twin mercury capsule pendulum with Brocot adjustment to suspension, the backplate stamped with JAPY FRERES & CIE, MED. D'HONNEUR roundel over numbers 3 11, the circular white enamel Roman enamel dial with steel moon hands and moulded bezel, the case with cavetto moulded cornice above bevel-glazed front door, side panels and rear door set between caddy moulded corner uprights, on cavetto moulded skirt base incorporating bracket feet, 327cm (10.25ins approx.) high. Provenance: The property of a private collector, Hertfordshire.Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial has a very slight blemish to the centre just above the centre (hands) hole otherwise appears free from visible damage. All glasses have some chipping to two corners which are reasonably noticeable as well as a few other small chips which are only visible on very close examination, none of the chips however could be described as 'disfiguring'. The case has some spots of discolouration and generally has an overall slightly 'mellow' appearance to the finish.Clock has original pendulum (undamaged) and a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A French giant black marble and silvered four glass long duration mantel clock with centre secondsThe movement stamped for H..P and Company, Paris, late 19th centuryThe circular four pillar twin train bell striking movement with visible Brocot escapement regulated by large disc bob pendulum incorporating Brocot type regulation to the suspension and centre seconds, the backplate stamped H.P. & Co over diamond lozenge enclosing number 3258 with further number 11078 beneath, the 6 inch circular two-piece white enamel Roman numeral dial with visible Brocot escapement to the recessed centre and blued steel spade hands within ogee-moulded silvered bezel, the bevel-glazed case with heavy marble top incorporating stepped quarter-round edge moulding over cavetto cornice and thick glass panels set between solid caddy moulded corner uprights, the front and back incorporating full-height pin-hinged doors, on cavetto moulded skirt base with rounded corners and silvered pad feet, 51cm (20ins) high. Being centre seconds with visible Brocot escapement the train-count for the going train is difficult to ascertain without dismantling the movement. However the amount of wheels present (three between the greatwheel and centre seconds wheel), coupled with the fact that the strike train has an intermediate between the great and hammer wheels, would suggest that the movement of the current lot has a duration of at least one month.Condition Report: The movement is in clean working condition and appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements, there is however a fairly large (approx. 10 by 7mm) ovoid hole to the centre of backplate - the purpose of this is unknown. The dial has some slight repaired chipping to the lower margin and the centre has been restored (to a high standard). The case has small chips to the corners of the glasses - the most noticeable being to the top left of the left hand side and the bottom right of the rear however these can only be seen on fairly close examination. The marble elements of the case appear free from cracks and chips are limited to a few very small ones to the edges. The silvered elements are now a little dirty/discoloured but otherwise appear in good condition with slight a slight scratch to the interior baseplate being the only noticeable defect.Clock has pendulum and a winding key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A fine gilt giant grande-sonnerie striking and repeating triple-calendar carriage clock with alarmJ.C. Ravoux, Paris, dated 1856The eight-day two train movement with plates measuring 5.75 by 4.125 inches, five and six-spoke wheel crossings to going and strike trains, platform lever escapement stamped RAVOUX twice to the backing plate and jewelled pivots for the contrate and fourth wheels of the going train, the strike train ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of bells positioned within the base of the case via vertically pivoted blued steel hammer arbors before sounding the hour again at every quarter hour on the larger of the two, the backplate with visible alarm motionwork and central large circular white enamel REVEIL setting dial annotated with twenty-four hour dial 1-12 twice labelled MIDI, MATIN, MINUIT and SOIR and with further vertically pivoted hammer for sounding on the larger of the two bells in the base, the upper left with SILENCE/SONNERIE pivoted strike selection switch, the centre with knurled hand-setting knob over signature FAIT PAR J.C. RAVOUX, and with QUARTIEMME and JOURS calendar setting functions to lower edge beneath, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial signed RAVOUX to centre and with pierced blued steel hands over triple subsidiary day-of-the-week, date-of-the-month and month-of-the-year dials annotated in French and with blued steel arrow pointers to lower margin beneath, the rear of the dial signed Valat, the early-type gilt multi-piece bevel-glazed case with hinged faceted carrying handle over top glass with rounded corners and cavetto cornice incorporating inset rounded angles over caddy moulded uprights, the rear with pin-hinged glazed door, on skirt base with conforming inset rounded angles and pierced sound fret to underside, 20cm (8ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands. J.C. Ravoux, the maker of this fine carriage clock is apparently unrecorded, however the signature Valat to the rear of the dial is almost certainly that of Etienne Valat who worked from Rue Montmorency 7, near the shop of Henri Jacot, for whom he also made dials.The current lot is particularly noteworthy for the quality of its construction in particular the provision of five and six spoke wheel crossings and jewelled pivots to the upper of part of the going train. The alarm mechanism is also very well thought-out with the setting dial allowing for sounding once during the twenty-four hour period rather than the usual once every twelve hours. Although the case is of relatively simple design it is again finely made with tight crisp mouldings as well as being very well proportioned, which again adds to the clocks overall restrained but high quality feel.Condition Report: The movement is running and striking/quarter striking however the hour notation is two-hours out (ie. sounds once at 3 and twice at 4 etc.) and is a little lazy/slow and sometimes misses with the longer hours hence requires some fine adjustment. Otherwise movement appears to be complete and in good original condition with no obvious alterations (although there are two plugged holes in the backlate which seem to date from the time of making hence not indicative of later alteration). The calendar-work appears to be complete and in working order as is the alarm however the alarm setting square (to the centre of the alarm dial) is currently obscured by the boss which carries the hand which appears to be too tight to be able to be pushed home over the square.The dial has very slight restoration to the upper left corner and some light wear around the centre hole (both visible only on very close examination) otherwise appears free from visible faults. The rear door glass has a chip to the upper corner and some very light fritting to the lower edge otherwise glasses appear free from visible damage. The case has been re-gilded and is generally in good condition with noticeable faults limited to a slight scratch to the top near the front right hand corner and another deeper vertical scratch to the rear skirt.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

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.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A Victorian figured mahogany eight-day precision longcase clockThomas Porthouse, London, mid 19th centuryThe substantial four pillar rack and bell striking movement with deadbeat escapement regulated by large lenticular bob wooden-rod seconds pendulum suspended from a beam applied to the top of the plates, the 12 inch circular cream painted Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds over signature THO'S PORTHOUSE, 10 Northampton Squ'e, LONDON to centre and with steel moon hands, the architectural case with triangular tympanum over cavetto cornice and circular cast brass hinged glazed bezel flanked by canted angles to hood, the trunk with rectangular caddy moulded door veneered in fine flame veneers over conforming plinth base with moulded skirt, 201cm (79ins) high. Thomas Porthouse is recorded in Betts, Jonathan MARINE CHRONOMETERS AT GREENWICH as born circa 1794 and possibly related to the Porthouse family of clockmakers from Penrith, Cumbria. He is recorded in 1828 as working from 210 High Street (Poplar) and then '10 Northampton Goswell Street' from circa 1835. Porthouse was primarily a maker of marine chronometers with a number of his timepieces appearing successfully in the Greenwich trials from 1823. He is also known to have made complicated watches. Thomas Porthouse died on 1860 with his business apparently continued by his widow before becoming Porthouse and French in 1864.Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The seatboard appears original and the movement and dial sits at the correct level in the case with cheeks notched to support the seatboard in a manner which appears original and undisturbed (ie. no visible evidence of subsequent adjustment) hence the movement and dial would appear to be original to the case.The dial has been refinished to a high standard with faults now limited to some very light surface wear; the minute hand appears to be a replacement.The case is generally in very good condition with faults limited to some light surface scuffs most noticeably to the front upper left hand part of the base, a veneer patch repair (to the same upper left hand corner of the base) as well as slight horizontal shrinkage to the face of the plinth. Otherwise faults very much limited to minor scuffs and other blemishes commensurate with age.Clock is complete with wood-rod pendulum, two weights, winder and two case keys.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A William III provincial longcase clock movement with 11 inch dialE. Bernard, Southampton, circa 1695The five finned pillar two train inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 11 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre, within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed E. Bernard, Southampton to lower margin, with scroll-pierced pierced blued steel hands and winged cherub and foliate cast spandrels to angles incorporating leafy scroll engraved decoration to the dial plate between, now in an oak case with complex moulded cornice and geometric parquetry band to frieze over three-quarter columns applied to the hinged glazed dial aperture and rectangular side windows to hood, over conforming complex moulded throat and parquetry-banded rectangular caddy moulded door to trunk, on parquetry decorated recessed panel fronted plinth base with moulded skirt, 190.5cm (75ins) high. An Elias Bernard is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as working in Southampton in around 1700. The movement of the current lot is well made with relatively tall plates and nicely detailed ring turning to the knops of the pillars. From this it would be reasonable to suggest that the maker was most likely London-trained.Condition Report: Movement is in working condition and appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is dirty and there is evidence of moderate pinion wear (as well as punch-stamp closing to some of the pivots) hence a gentle clean and service is required. There is a vacant spare hole to the upper edge of the backplate which is most likely from a movement securing bracket (for steadying the clock when it was in its original case). The dial is generally in sound condition although at some point it has been polished hence the matting is a little soft and there are also some slight blemishes (scuffs and slight ripples to the casting). The silvering is a little rubbed and the hands appear to be well made replacements. The screws securing the spandrels are modern replacements.As catalogued the case is not the original one for the movement and dial but may have been purpose made for it at a later date (during the 18th century). The top board to the hood has been replaced, the trunk door has a slight warp and the box base would appear to have been reduced (with the parquetry largely re-laid to match that of the door) otherwise case is in sound original condition albeit with bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and historic repairs commensurate with age and use.Clock has pendulum, two weights, case key and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A George II parquetry inlaid oak eight-day longcase clockJohn Seddon, Frodsham, circa 1740The four finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12.5 inch square brass dial with ringed winding holes, calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre decorated with an engraved concentric herringbone band and signed John Seddon, Frodsham to a decorative panel above the calendar, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with elaborate foliate half hour markers and arcaded minute ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with scroll pierced steel hands and mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles, the case with ogee caddy over generous double-ogee cornice, fretwork frieze and hinged glazed dial aperture applied with three-quarter columns to angles, the sides with break-arch windows over concave throat moulding and shaped 'Dutch gable' shaped top crossbanded trunk door centred with a parquetry star and flanked by chevron banded uprights to surround, on conforming star decorated plinth base with parquetry border, ogee top mouldings and caddy moulded skirt, 216cm (85ins) high. Records relating to the Seddon family of clockmakers from Frodsham, Cheshire first appear in the Parish baptismal entries for the children of Mary Cook and John Seddon (described as a clockmaker by trade) in 1676, followed by the supposed supplying of a turret clock by John Seddon to Poole Hall in 1704. Frodsham Parish records apparently further record a John Seddon complaining of an Edward Cook in 1713. Finally Daniel Seddon, Clockmaker from Frodsham, is recorded as working 1754-85. John and Daniel Seddon were makers of very fine clocks some of which incorporated spherical globe moons in the arch and invariably displayed fine engraved detail. The current lot is typical of Seddon's work with fine decorative detailing to the movement and lively engraving to the dial. The case also exhibits parquetry star motifs which again is often seen on those housing movements by the Seddon family.Condition Report: The movement is complete and in clean working condition with no evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is also in clean condition and free from visible defects other than a few light spots of discolouration.The movement has a replacement seatboard which rests on sections separately applied to thin the side uprights of the case. The presence of a replacement seatboard and sections applied to case uprights means that we cannot offer any assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case however we are generally of the opinion that they probably are (on stylistic grounds) and that the replacements to the seatboard and cheek uprights were most likely done for purely practical reasons. The case generally is in good condition having fairly recently had cosmetic work by the previous owner (an elderly lady now deceased) done to make it eminently presentable. Consequently the base has been rebuilt with a new skirt. Faults are therefore otherwise generally limited to some historic bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and other age related blemishes.Clock is complete with two weights, pendulum, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A George III mahogany table clockRobert Ward, London, circa 1770The five pillar twin fusee movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum and backplate engraved with a central pagoda over basket surrounded by stylised rococo scrolls, the 7 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and recessed shaped silvered nameplate signed Rob't Ward, London to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to the outer track, with pierced steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a vestigial subsidiary Roman numeral chapter ring dial flanked by conforming mounts, the bell-top case with pineapple finials to superstructure over double-cavetto top mouldings and front door with brass-fillet bordered break-arch glazed dial aperture and foliate scroll cast upper quadrant frets, the sides with hinged brass carrying handles over circular and concave-topped rectangular brass grille sound frets, the rear with rectangular break-arch glazed door set within the frame of the case, on cavetto moulded skirt base with generous leafy scroll cast bracket feet, (the movement formerly fitted with an alarm mechanism now removed), 47cm (18.5ins) excluding top finial and block; 56cm (22ins) high overall. Robert Ward is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1768, gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1779 and working from Abchurch Lane, London until 1808. He is noted as specialising in supplying musical clocks for the Middle Eastern market.Condition Report: Movement is in dirty/oily condition however is working (will run and strike); a clean/service is required. The clock has verge escapement with short bob pendulum which appears original (there is no visible evidence of ever being converted to anchor escapement). As catalogued the alarm mechanism has been removed however the setting/release hand and arbor are present. The movement securing brackets are replacements but it would appear that their position matches that of the originals hence are of the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case. The alarm exit hole in the case is present however has been blanked-off externally by a veneer patch repair.The dial is in good original condition; the finishes are dirty/discoloured, the hands a appear origina and are finely made.The case is generally in sound unrestored condition and of good colour however the joints to the right hand side of the front door are a little loose causing the section of veneer bordering the right hand side of the arch to be lost. There is a veneer patch repair to the upper right and another small to the bottom left. Tye mask around the dial (behind the front door) is generally in good condition. The brass side frets are replacements (probably dating to the 19th century), the lower right hand side moulding has lifted a little and now binds against the lower edge of the front door when it is opened, otherwise sides are in good condition. The rear has a small veneer chip beneath the lower left hand corner of the door otherwise is in very good condition. The superstructure is missing a length of moulding at the base of the caddy; the top finial pedestal has evidence of once being fitted with fretwork decoration to each side which is now no longer present. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to shrinkage (mostly to caddy and base joints), a few bumps, scuffs and other age related blemishes.Clock has a winder but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A rare George II small black japanned thirty-hour longcase clock with 8.25 inch dialJohn Worsfold, Dorking, circa 1735The posted countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum and rectangular section corner uprights riveted to both the top and bottom plates fitted with 8.25 inch square brass dial with matted centre and pierced steel hand within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and unusual mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles, the black japanned case with generous ogee cornice and plain frieze over gilt floral trail decorated hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by three quarter columns and further large foliate sprays to sides with conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards to the rear, the trunk with trellis panel painted concave throat over caddy moulded door faintly decorated in raised gilt with pagodas within an Oriental garden landscape bordered by further trellis panels to the surround, the sides with large scale foliate trails, over conforming decorated plinth base incorporating tall moulded skirt, 189cm (74.5ins) high. John Worsfold is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as born in 1704; Loomes records him in Volume 2 as working in Dorking in 1728. The current lot is appears to be a particularly rare survivor with its relatively fragile pine case and original decoration being largely intact; its small proportions are also noteworthy. 

A rare William III ebonised table timepiece with alarmJohn Bushman, London, circa 1695The five finned baluster pillar single fusee movement with verge escapement regulated by disc-bob pendulum and pull-wind alarm mechanism incorporating vertical verge crown wheel and pallets to the cranked hammer arbor for sounding on the bell mounted above the plates, the backplate applied with pierced leafy backcock apron and alarm winding pulley over symmetrical scrolling foliate engraved decoration enveloping a central oval herringbone-bordered cartouche enclosing signature John Bushman, LONDON, the 7 inch square brass dial with ringed winding hole, herringbone border engraved shaped false bob aperture and scroll decorated calendar to the finely matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword-hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with fine sculpted pierced steel hands including another for alarm setting and silvered cast winged cherub head spandrels to angles, the case with foliate bud cast hinged brass carrying handle to the domed caddy superstructure and pair of brass vase finials over complex top mouldings and glazed front door applied with scroll-pierced brass repousse mounts to frame, the sides with rectangular windows and the rear with rectangular glazed door applied with further repousse mounts set within the frame of the case, the base with further complex mouldings to the shallow skirt over block feet, 35cm (13.75ins) high excluding handle. John Bushman (Buschmann) is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as a `High German` watchmaker born in Hagen (Augsburg) circa 1661 and was made brother of the Clockmakers` Company in September 1692. He first married Mary Wyatt in the Parish of St. Margaret, Westminster in December 1690 with whom he had four children; and then Elizabeth Hill at All Hallows, Staining in 1695 with whom he had eight children (most dying in infancy). In 1697 John Buschmann signed the Clockmakers' Company the oath of allegiance; he was subsequently made an Assistant in 1720 and died in 1722. John Buschmann was descended from a celebrated dynasty of clockmakers who worked from Augsburg throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. These roots allowed relatively easy access to the lucrative German market, consequently many of his clocks were made for export. His work tends to be of fine quality and fairly diverse in specification with miniature and month duration table clocks known. Indeed the relatively diverse nature of his output probably reflected the need for him to be flexible in order to satisfy the individual requirements of his wealthy European clients. The backplate of the current lot exhibits particularly fine engraving which closely conforms to that executed on many clocks by Thomas Tompion by engraver G195 as discussed in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 in Appendix 1 (pages 379-95). In particular, on page 385, Dzik illustrates (Figure 5) the backplates of Tompion numbers 410 and 417 with self-crossing vines and 'fluffy flowers' highlighted; when these are compared to the decoration seen on the present backplate the match is almost exact hence, from this evidence, it would be appropriate to surmise that it was also engraved by Tompion's engraver G195.  The current lot is unusual in that it is an alarm timepiece only, this would suggest that it was made exclusively for use in the bedchamber. From this it would be appropriate to speculate the original owner was probably a particularly wealthy individual who could afford a timepiece for this purpose alone rather than having a clock which was designed to also be taken 'downstairs' for use during the day. On closer examination the pendulum of the current lot has been converted from a fixed bob with rod applied directly to the pallet arbor to a disc-bob pendulum with suspension and driven by a crutch (the verge escapement survives in its original configuration). The presence of a silk suspended pendulum would indicate that the present timepiece has spent time on the Continent as this feature is typical of clocks made in near Continental Europe rather than the fixed-bob arrangement favoured by English makers. With this in mind it is likely that the current timepiece was probably made by Buschmann for a client based in Continental Europe, perhaps Germany, hence may well have spent most of its life residing in a bedchamber of a German Schloss.Condition Report: The movement appears to be in fine original condition with no evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements other than the pendulum which has been converted from a fixed bob arrangement to a lenticular bob with silk suspension driven by a crutch. There is no evidence of the clock ever being converted to anchor escapement. The movement is fully operational and reasonably clean however a gentle clean/service is advisable before putting it into service. Overall the mechanism shows little wear indicative of an 'easy life'.The dial is also in good original condition with no visible evidence of alterations or significant replacements with the possible exception of the alarm setting hand which may be non-original. The spandrels are silvered with some wear to high spots and the chapter ring has overall patchy tarnishing to the finish. The dial plate has a good overall slightly mellow colour and appearance.The case is generally in structurally sound condition with faults mainly limited to external bumps, scuffs, bruising, shrinkage, veneer chipping and wear. The repousse mounts to the front door are heavily discoloured with a loss to the right-hand vertical mount and break to lower rail mount. The two rear finials are missing and the front right hand is repaired, both finials and the handle are heavily discoloured. The case retains its original locks and hinges and the internal dial mask is free from losses only having slight cracking/lifting to the veneer overlap to the top right hand corner. The centre of the upper rail above the dial has a hole almost certainly for a turn-tab (to hold the dial tight against the mask in the case) which is no longer present. The rear door has small repousse mounts - the upper and right hand examples are incomplete, the left hand (forming the key escutcheon) is lacking. The block feet are replacements.The surface has an old fairly heavy poorly-applied uneven polish and the interior has old thick wash of black gadding to the overall neglected feel to the case. There is no winder or case key present - the front door is now held with an external pivoted hook catch. Condition Report Disclaimer

A figured walnut eight-day longcase clock with moonphaseThe dial signed for John Hodges, London, circa 1730 and laterNow with purpose made four pillar rack and bell striking movement incorporating anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and Ho-Ho bird decorated calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with pierced steel hands and female mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles within a herringbone engraved border now incorporating Strike/Silent switch at 9 o'clock, the arch with rolling moonphase featuring aperture revealing age of the moon at the apex flanked by herringbone engraved infill over scroll engraved lunettes and with applied silvered plate engraved JOHN HODGES, ST CLEMENTS LANE, LONDON to upper margin, in a case with ogee cornice and scroll-pierced quadrant sound frets over hinged break-arch glazed dial aperture flanked by columns and rectangular side windows with conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards to the rear, the trunk with concave throat over triple-line strung break-arch door with fine crossgrain mouldings over conforming plinth base with later moulded skirt incorporating shaped apron, 231cm (91ins) high. A John Hodges is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born around 1700 and apprenticed to Francis Chapman in 1714. He gained his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1722. These records are believed to relate to the maker of the same name who is known to have been working from St. Clements Lane, London in 1729 and Exchange Alley in 1738.The movement of the current lot has been renewed most likely in the mid 19th century with the original substituted by a well-executed mechanism made to fit the original dial without alteration to the latter.Condition Report: As catalogued the movement is a 19th century replacement purpose made for the movement and dial hence all functions are connected and there is no awkward 'adaptations' to the dial to make the movement fit. The mechanism is working order but requires a clean/service before putting to use. The dial is in sound but dirty/discoloured condition. The left hand margin has a strike/silent lever which is probably and addition including the engraved text to the chapter ring. The hands are 19th century replacements.The dial is probably original to the case however as the movement is a replacement no categorical assurances can be given. The case is generally in good original unrestored condition. The hood may have originally had a caddy superstructure and the frets have some lifting/distortion as well as one or two small losses. The right hand throat moulding has a horizontal crack. The trunk door has relatively light horizontal shrinkage cracking to the base of the arch and just up from the lower edge; the frame around the door also has a couple of cracks. The plinth has some edge chipping and wear to the veneers otherwise appears in sound condition, the skirting is a later addition. Faults are otherwise generally limited to relatively light age related bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age.Clock has two weights, pendulum, case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A Charles II style small ebony architectural longcase clock case with 8 inch square dial apertureAnomynous, 20th centuryThe rising hood with triangular pediment over crisply moulded projecting cornice, lintel and Doric three-quarter columns with gilt caps and bases flanking fixed the dial aperture, the sides with tall rectangular glazed apertures and conforming half columns set against the rear stiles, the trunk with convex throat over 41.5 inch slender rectangular door applied with two long around a central short raised panels within a complex mounded surround, the sides of conforming panel outline, on stepped ogee top plinth base decorated with further matching panels to front and sides over moulded skirt, 187cm (73.5ins) high; with an ebonised table clock case, 19th century, with 6.25 inch square dial aperture and canted mouldings, (lacking handle), 29cm (11ins) high.Condition Report: The hood is missing the brass base to the left hand side rear half pilaster and has two losses (each approx. 4 ins long) of the veneer to the drop beneath the chin moulding - one to the front left and the second to the rear right hand side. The trunk door is bowed with the centre projecting forward by around 5/8ths of an inch at the lock. The base has a vertical crack to the front and is missing the length of moulding that forms the top of the right hand side panel. The skirt is lacking its top moulding to the front.The table clock case has no handle, front door glass and the locks are replacements, the caddy is lacking much of its finish also. The veneers are stained fruitwood onto a pine carcass. Condition Report Disclaimer

Allen, Southport, 20th centuryThe four pillar movement with X-shaped plates incorporating ratchet escape wheel advanced and checked by an arrangement of levers fitted to the upper section of the one-and-a-quarter seconds wood-rod pendulum incorporating a brass-cased electromagnetic coil passing around a fixed horizontal iron bar over the cylindrical brass bob, with impulse field activated by electrical contacts and circuitry fitted at the base of the movement and with suspension from a brass post fitted to the case backboard, the 10 inch square brass dial with foliate scroll engraved centre signed L. Allen, Southport incorporating recessed revolving moon and concentric silvered Arabic calendar ring within applied Roman numeral chapter ring, with scroll pierced blued steel hands, brass calendar pointer and scroll cast spandrels to angles, the eighteenth century style oak case with scroll-pierced crest to front and sides over ogee cornice, plain frieze and three-quarter columns flanking the fixed glazed dial aperture, the trunk with ogee throat over slender caddy-moulded lift-out panel flanked by quarter columns, the plinth base with cavetto top moulding over lenticle-centred lift-out front panel flanked by canted angles, on ogee bracket feet, 198cm (78ins) high. Provenance: The property of a private collector, Hertfordshire; purchased at Bonhams, London sale of Fine Clocks 9th July 2013 (lot 92) for £3,000.  The current lot appears to be a well-made one-off design which would seem to operate in a manner similar to that devised by Percival Arthur Bentley in 1910.Condition Report: Timepiece is in sound original unrestored condition and is in working condition (was running when removed from the vendors house). It will require a power supply and a precautionary gentle service is advised before putting it into long term service. The dial is in god original unrestored condition with some minor age related patches of discolouration in places. The case also is in good original unrestored condition however some of the joints in the base have now become loose hence will require re-gluing. The finish has a few bumps, scuffs and scratches commensurate with age and use and would generally benefit from a good wax. Condition Report Disclaimer

A Japanese 'shaku dokei' shitan wood wall hung pillar clockAnomynous, late 20th in the 19th century styleThe going train of three wheels set between strip backplate angled at the top to incorporate verge escape wheel top potance and foliate scroll-pierced and engraved keyhole-shaped frontplate with conforming apron to the top margin concealing pivot for the front swinging short bob pendulum, with decorative turned column pillar finials to angles set within three-panel glazed box cover, over caddy-moulded trunk applied with vertical chapter ring annotated with ten divisions each divided into tenths next to twelve adjustable cartouche numerals each engraved with their respective Japanese characters with further shaped baton half hour markers between, the interior with descending weight also incorporating the single bell striking mechanism with countwheel for striking Japanese hours and pointer passing through the front, with brass 'flowerhead' pierced sound frets to sides and applied to a shaped backboard incorporating hanging hole to the extended shaped top section, 63.5cm (25ins) high. Provenance: The property of a private collector, Hertfordshire. The Japanese method of dividing the day had its origins in Chinese practice and until 1868 the daytime and night time were split into six 'hours' each. This meant that with the changing of seasons the length of these temporal hours varied. Day hours in the summertime were longer than the day hours in the winter. With this system to show the correct time, the numerals on the dial ideally needed to be adjusted every fourteen days. The hours or toki were each divided into tenths bu with the mid way or Shokuru marked with a baton. The hours were counted backwards and named after zodiacal animals. Consequently the current lot is annotated with two repeating sets of six numerals starting with the sixth hour denoting either the hour of the Hare (dawn) or Cock (sunset) and counts downwards through two sequences before clock needs to be rewound.Condition Report: The movement is in clean working condition with the only noticeable fault being a small section missing from the front apron for the pendulum pivot. The strike train is also in clean working condition. The case is in fine condition with no visible faults although there is some slight tarnishing to the vertical chapter scale. Overall the timepiece is a fine quality faithful replica with detailing both in the movement and the case very similar to that of the originals. There is a winding key present with the clock. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y An George V silver mounted and inlaid tortoiseshell carriage clockUnsigned, the mounts marked for William Comyns and Sons, London 1911The French eight-day two-train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement and 3 inch circular white enamel dial with blued steel hands and vertical Arabic numerals set behind convex glass with moulded bezel, the case modelled to resemble an eighteenth century English table clock with hinged foliate scroll cast carting handle to the domed caddy superstructure decorated with stylised foliate scroll and floral swag engraved silver inlay to front and sides over ogee moulded cornice, the front with further inlaid floral sprays to upper quadrants and delicate symmetrical scrolls supporting a floral swag to apron, flanked by silver uprights to angles and with plain sides the rear with sliver door set within the frame of the case between conforming corner uprights, on ogee moulded shallow skirt base with bun feet, the mounts Hallmarked for London 1911 indistinct makers W.C. for William Comyns and Sons, 18cm (7ins) high excluding handle. Provenance: The beneficiary of the Estate of a private collector, East Midlands.  The celebrated firm of manufacturing silversmiths, William Comyns, was established in 1859 when Comyns purchased the business of Robert Tagg, 2 Carlise Street, Soho Square. He then moved to 1 Percy Mews, Rathbone Place, followed by 16 Silver Street, Golden Square, Soho, then finally to Beak Street, Regent Street. The Beak Street premises were later expanded to encompass numbers 41 to 47 and additional premises were acquired at 54 Marshall Street, Soho from circa 1903. The name of the firm was changed to William Comyns & Son in circa 1885 when William Comyn's two sons, Charles Harling Comyns and Richard Harling Comyns were admitted to their partnership. William Comyns died in January 1916, and C.H. Comyns while attending a sale at Christie's in 1925. The business was incorporated as Limited Company in October 1930 and continued under R.H. Comyns until his death in 1953, when was subsequently purchased by Bernard Copping.Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition with no visible signs of alteration or significant replacements, the strike however is a little lazy suggesting that a service is probably required. Dial appears free from visible damage. Case is generally in good condition with noticeable faults limited to cracking to the shell to the rear of the domed superstructure and the left hand side panel being a little loose in its frame (the panel and frame appear undamaged). All marquetry elements appear complete and undisturbed, all silver mounts are present and in good condition. Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
