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.

Lot 178
Ï’ A brass mounted ebony table clock, the movement by Henry Jones, London, circa 1685-90 and later The six latched and finned pillar bell striking movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum and incomplete pull quarter-repeat mechanism, the single line-bordered symmetrical foliate scroll and tulip bud engraved backplate signed Henry Jones, in the Temple to a leafy scroll bordered cartouche to centre, now with a 6.5 inch square brass dial with matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with squat stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the narrow outer minute track, with pierced steel hands and winged cherub mask cast brass spandrels to angles, now in an ebony veneered case with hinged tied floral bud handle and foliate cast and pierced oval mount to the caddy surmount over ogee cornice top moulding and glazed front door applied with gilt foliate scroll escutcheons to jambs, the sides with conforming rectangular windows beneath lozenge-shaped sound frets, the rear with further rectangular glazed door set within the frame of the case, the base with shallow ogee moulded skirt over squab feet, 30.5cm (12ins) high excluding handle; with a fine 17th century scroll pierced and engraved winding key. Henry Jones is an important maker who is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born to William Jones at Boulder, Hampshire in 1634. He was apprenticed to Edward East in August 1654 gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in July 1663. Jones is thought to have initially worked as journeyman to Edward East before setting up on his own in the Inner Temple, London by 1772. In 1775 he is recorded as 'in Inner Temple Lane' prior to being appointed as an Assistant of the Clockmakers' Company the following year. Henry Jones was subsequently made a Warden in 1687 and finally served as Master of the Company in 1691. Amongst his many apprentices were Francis Robinson (freed 1707) and two of his sons, Henry (freed April 1678) and William (not freed). In 1692 Jones gave the Clockmakers' Company £100 'for the use of the poor'; he died in 1694 leaving his workshop in the hands of his widow, Hannah, who is known to have supplied clocks signed in her name. The engraving to the backplate of the current lot can be directly compared to a silent-pull quarter repeating timepiece by Henry Jones sold in these rooms on Tuesday 17th March 2015 (lot 88) where it is noted that the design and execution of the engraved decoration could be very closely compared to that of the only known table clock by Peter Knibb which is illustrated in Lee, Ronald A. The Knibb Family, Clockmakers (page 129, plate 139). Lee also illustrates (on the preceding page, plate 138) another closely related backplate for a clock by John Knibb, Oxford and notes that both have internal rack striking, which would suggest that each date from the mid 1680's.

He is thought to have ceased working by 1885. He was a fine and relatively prolific maker of clocks primarily wall regulators including at least one year-going example.

Lot 184
A fine Queen Anne walnut eight-day longcase clock, ichard Street, London, circa 1705 The six crisply turned finned pillar inside rack and bell striking movement with bolt-and-shutter maintaining power and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum incorporating long crutch, 12 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, shuttered winding holes and calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with cruciform half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed Rich. Street, London to lower edge, with delicate pierced steel hands and unusual lambrequin cherub mask and foliate scroll cast spandrels to angles with foliate engraved infill between incorporating maintaining power lever to right hand margin, the walnut case with brass ball finials to the domed caddy surmounted fine foliate fretwork fronted box upstand above moulded cornice and further conforming foliate pierced fret to frieze, generous three-quarter columns with gilt caps and bases to the glazed hood door, the sides with rectangular windows and rear quarter columns each set against bargeboard rising up to the underside of the cornice projection, the trunk with convex throat above 42 inch rectangular door with figured book-matched veneers, the sides with twin line-bordered panels within crossbanded surrounds, the plinth base with ogee top moulding and conforming line-bordered crossbanded veneered panel to front over two-tier moulded skirt, 244cm (96ins) high excluding finials; 257cm (101ins) high overall. Richard Street is an important but relatively enigmatic maker who is recorded in Baillie G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1687, made Assistant in 1713 and appointed Warden 1716. He was a fine maker who had close working connections with Thomas Tompion for whom it is thought he made repeating watch movements (see Evans, Jeremy THOMAS TOMPION at the Dial and Three Crowns page 114). Street is perhaps best known for his commission by Sir Isaac Newton to supply a monumental month duration longcase clock for presentation to Dr. Bentley for the Observatory at Trinity College Cambridge in 1708; he also, alongside William Wright, took over the maintenance of the turret clock at St. Pauls Cathedral from Langley Bradley in 1716. A year going clock in an Arabesque marquetry case by Street also survives in the Collection of the National Trust at Melford Hall, Suffolk. Tompion's influence/connection with Richard Street becomes apparent when the current lot is examined. The six pillar movement is very well made with the use of inside rack for the striking mechanism and the delicate functionality of the wheelwork echoing Tompion's standards. The dial is clean and refined in its design and utilises an unusual pattern of spandrel. The proportions, external detailing and choice of veneers used on the case can be compared to those supplied to Tompion, and again is very well made.
