Condition Report: Movement is in working condition but would benefit from a gentle clean/service; there is no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. Dial has been restored but most likely replicating the signature to the original. There are some very slight cracks near the dial feet attachment points as well as slight wear around the winding holes and a couple of other very slight surface blemishes. The case has a crack to the wooden dial surround at two o'clock (simple glue repair required), The lower rear edge of the case has a shallow recess to the backboard (from a previous brass hanging plate being attached) - there is some slight veneer wear/cracking around this point as well as to the leading edge of the left-hand side towards the front corner.

Y A FRENCH LOUIS XV ORMOLU MOUNTED BOULLE BRACKET CLOCK WITH WALL BRACKET EN SUITEBACQUET, PARIS, CIRC 1750The twin going barrel outside countwheel bell striking movement with five tapered baluster pillars pinned through the backplate signed Bacquet AParis to lower margin, with later anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the 10 inch circular twelve-piece cartouche numeral dial with concentric trellis bordered rococo cartouche cast centre within chapter ring with blue-on-white Roman hour numerals within rococo borders and every minute numbered to the outer track, with blued steel hand over small enamel pendant panel inscribed BACQUET, the cut brass and brown shell marquetry decorated case with surmount cast as a robed putto releasing a bird seated over a gadroon panel-cast caddy to the concave-sided superstructure veneered with leafy scroll decoration and applied with foliate mounts to angles, over rococo scroll decorated leaf cast arched cornice centred with a palmette, the front with brass-framed arched glazed door enclosing marquetry decorated floor and back panel to interior and incorporating cast panel featuring a Classical muse with attendants to apron, the surround decorated with leafy scrolls within line border, the sides with recessed arched windows within leaf cast surrounds over hipped swollen base sections, on leafy scroll cast feet with foliate apron between; set on original ogee-shaped wall bracket with concave upstand set back on the table over repeating arch motif and floral trail decorated marquetry to fascia flanked by female masks to angles, terminating with a rococo scroll cast pendant mount to base.The clock 84cm (33ins) high; the clock on wall bracket 114cm (44.5ins) high, 43cm (17ins) wide, 21.5cm (8.5ins) deep. Provenance: The Estate of a deceased Gentleman; purchased from Pelham Galleries, London, July 1966. Although he doesn't appear to be recorded in the usual sources, from extant examples, a clockmaker with the name Jean Bacquet is known to have been working in Paris during the middle years of the 18th century. Condition Report: As catalogued the movement has been converted from verge pendulum escapement to anchor hence all wheelwork above the centre wheel of the going train has been replaced. The backcock may be original but modified to accept and spring suspension. The strike train appears al original. The mechanism has been maintained in working hence is in relatively clean condition and will tick and strike. The backplate some historic punch marks around the pivot holes to close wear; the pivots themselves seem reasonably tight and there is only slight pinion wear evident. The dial has visible hairline cracks to the I and XI numerals, the II numeral has a touched-in edge chip issuing a few hairlines and the IX cartouche has been restored (in a creamy colour compared to the others); the remaining numerals appear free from visible damage. The minute hand is missing and the pendant enamel signature panel is damaged (and has crudely applied filling). The dial casting itself is in good condition with relatively strong gilding. The case is generally presentable but has received cosmetic restoration including some pinning/re-securing of the brass and localised filling to tortoiseshell/other. The sides of the superstructure may well have been applied with mounts to the rear edge (no longer present) and a scallop-shell motif within the marquetry to both sides are now filler. The sides and front are generally very good with only a few small localised repairs/pinning; the rear door has some shrinkage but the marquetry is in sound condition. The bracket has had some work to reset brass marquetry towards the upper margin causing some noticeable rippling to the brass, there is loss to the marquetry to the cavetto moulding upstand (applied to the table), otherwise faults are limited to smaller localised repairs. The mounts are generally good and clean retaining much of their gilding and appear to have also received a coat of yellow lacquer.Clock has pendulum (bob currently detached) but no case key or winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

Lot 189

A DUTCH WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY MONTH DURATION LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASE AND ALARMJAN GOBELS, AMSTERDAM, THIRD QUARTER OF THE 18th CENTURYThe five pillar rack striking movement with five- wheel trains and pin-wheel deadbeat escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike train sounding the hours in the Dutch manner both at the hour then again on the half hour on a smaller bell, the right hand side of the plates applied with a transverse alarm mechanism incorporating verge-type crownwheel engaging with a pallet arbor fitted with a T-shaped hammer for sounding on the larger hour bell positioned above the plates, the 13 inch brass break-arch dial with alarm setting disc, subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and ringed winding holes to the scroll engraved matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed Jan Gobels, Amsterdam to lower margin, with scroll-pierced steel hands and cast figural 'four seasons' spandrels to angles within a herringbone engraved outer border, beneath arch incorporating rolling moonphase engraved with age of the moon to the edge of the disc set behind a pair of scroll-engraved lunettes to lower margin beneath a herringbone border to the arch, the case with carved giltwood Atlas and trumpeting nymph figural finials set on the bell-shaped caddy superstructure inlaid with floral trails, over break-arch cornice centred with a foliate carved crest and with blind fret frieze over integral three-quarter columns applied to the foliate trail inlaid hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with break-arch scroll-pieced sound frets within conforming borders and quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with leaf decorated concave throat moulding over break-arch caddy moulded door inlaid with urn set on a pedestal issuing flowering foliate around a central lenticle, with scroll detailed edge mouldings and butterflies to upper quadrants within a chevron band flanked by canted angles decorated with foliate trails, the sides further inlaid with urns issuing bird inhabited foliage, the ogee-shaped plinth base with cavetto cop mouldings, canted angles and overall conforming floral marquetry decoration, on inlaid cavetto skirt base with lions paw front feet.255cm (100.5ins) high excluding finials, 290cm (114ins) high overall; 57cm (22.5ins) wide, 32cm (12.5ins) deep. Jan Gobels is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Amsterdam in 1767. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean condition and appears to be in working order with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The escapement may be a slightly later 'upgrade' however there are no spare holes etc so could well be original. The alarm is complete except for rope line and driving weight. Movement is a little dusty hence a precautionary gentle clean service is advised. Dial is in good clean condition with only slight mellowing to finishes and there is no visible evidence of alteration or notable replacements. The seatboard appears original and rests on cheek uprights of the case with no visible evidence of adjustment hence we are of the belief that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in sound original condition. The finials are intact except for the fingers of one angel which are missing; the wings are currently detached bit present with the clock. There are three holes to the top of the arch moulding suggesting an alternative lower position for the finials or that the clock has other additional finials at some point. There is some lifting to the fretwork in the arch and both hood side frets have been pushed-in a little hence are now bowed with a couple of minor losses. The side panels of the plinth show movement hence opening of the joints to the top edges, there are also some light cracks etc to each. Case otherwise is in very sound original condition with faults very much limited to relatively minor shrinkage, wear, a few age-related bumps and scuffs, some historic consolidation/gluing and other blemishes. The colour is a little dry faded.Clock has pendulum, pair brass-cased weights, crank winding key and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Purchased from Geoffrey Greetham, Willingham, Cambridge, 26th May 1976 for £440. Joseph Sargent is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working 1794-1820.
