A very rare clockmaker’s journeyman regulator or transit instrument movement Edward John Dent, London, mid 19th century The six knopped pillar movement with arched plates measuring 8.625 by 5.25 inches containing a weight-driven three-wheel train incorporating Graham-type deadbeat escapement for regulation by a seconds pendulum and fitted with a pin to one of the crossings for operating the passing minute strike sounding on a bell mounted to the inside top left of the backplate, the frontplate silvered and engraved with integral dial with seconds ring incorporating Arabic five minutes and radial baton markers and with red-painted hand fitted directly onto the escapewheel arbor over signature Edward J. Dent, Strand LONDON across the centre and further minute dial with conforming numerals and batons with blued steel hand fitted directly on the greatwheel arbor. Edward John Dent was a talented horologist who at the age of 17 transferred his apprenticeship from the trade of tallow chandler to watchmaking under the charge of Edward Gaudin in 1807. By 1817 he had become well known as a watch and clockmaker receiving commissions from the Admiralty for a 'Standard Astronomical Clock' and pocket chronometers for the Colonial Office Africa Expedition. In 1830 Dent went into partnership with the renowned watch and chronometer maker John Roger Arnold which continued until 1840 when he left and set up business alone as E.J. Dent at 82 Strand, London, primarily making marine chronometers, watches and precision clocks. In 1843 the firm expanded taking on a second premises at 33 Cocksur Street, with the Strand premises moving down the road to number 61 by 1851. In 1852 Edward Dent successfully tendered to make the 'great clock' to be housed in Stephen's tower at the New Palace of Westminster. The clock was completed by 1859, apparently at a financial loss to the firm, however it ensured that Dent became a household name synonymous with fine clockmaking.Unfortunately Edward John Dent did not live to see the installation of the 'great clock' as he died in 1853. He was succeeded by his stepson Frederick Rippon Dent, who, in partnership with his brother Richard, continued to expand the business. By 1862 the firm had added 34 Cockspur Street and 34 & 35 Royal Exchange to their list of addresses and, although having seen natural passage of ownership over the intervening years, the business still continues to trade today as Dent & Co. The current lot is made to the design believed to have first been devised by the eminent horologist John Shelton in around 1770. Indeed four such timepieces were supplied to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich during the 1760’s and an example resides in the collection of the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford (Inventory number 46869). A very similar timepiece, this time by Ellicott and housed in a floor-standing case, is illustrated in Roberts, Derek English Precision Pendulum Clocks. Figs. 12-10 A,B and further example by John Holmes was sold at Bonhams, London sale of Fine Clocks 27th June 2017 (lot 72) for £6,875.Traditionally such timepieces were thought to have been used in a workshop to assist in the regulation of watches where the rate can be checked by both reading the dial and listening for the passing strike sounding every minute. However it would appear that their primary purpose was to assist astronomers for timing the transit of celestial bodies. Indeed those supplied to The Royal Observatory were used by Neville Maskelyne for this purpose with one being described by him in a note written on 27th April 1766. The relatively simple construction also made this type of regulator more suited to being transported hence they were often taken on expeditionary trips to be set-up in the field. Bearing these facts in mind it is most probable that the current lot was most likely made to be used for astronomical observations. It is also possible that it may have been taken on an expeditionary trip as Dent was known to supply instruments for this purpose (as noted in the biography passage above).
A brass bound rosewood cased two-day marine chronometer Barraud, London, mid to late 19th century The circular four-pillar single chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power and Earnshaw type spring detent escapement with wedge-shaped compensation weights to the split bi-metallic balance, helical balance spring and faceted diamond end-stone, the spotted backplate with blued steel spring set-up ratchet and movement pillar securing screws, the 3.75 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds dial, up/down register and engraved CORRECTED & ADJUSTED BY, BARRAUD, 41 Cornhill, No. 5184, LONDON to centre and with gold moon hands, secured by a screw-down bezel into a brass bowl with shuttered winding hole to underside and mounted via gimbals into a rosewood veneered three tier box centred with a shaped brass name plaque to the top, with brass capped corners over strap-bound edges, the sides with brass carrying handles and the front with vacant ivory panel over shaped brass key escutcheon, (top tier of box replaced) 18cm (7ins) wide. Paul Phillip Barraud (born 1752) worked with his father at first until his death in 1795 after which Barraud turned his attention more towards chronometers. Using the valuable experience gained whilst working on Mudge's timekeepers with W. Howells and G. Jamieson to good effect, he became very successful. After his death in 1820 the business was continued by his sons taking John Richard Lund, a former apprentice of John Pennington (who developed the auxiliary compensation balance weight to correct for middle temperature changes), into partnership in 1838.

ϒ A Victorian small two-day marine chronometer Charles Frodsham, London, circa 1845 The four pillar full-plate single chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power, split bimetallic balance with keystone-shaped compensation weights, helical balance spring and faceted diamond endstone, the spotted backplate signed Charles Frodsham, London and with brass bayonet fitting dust cover, the 3.25 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with blued steel fleur-de-lys hands, subsidiary seconds and power reserve dials, and inscribed CHARLES FRODSHAM, 7 Pavement, Finsbury Park, London, No. 2012 to centre, set in a lacquered brass bowl with screw-down bezel mounted within pivoted gimbals with locking screw, the mahogany three-tier case with vacant nameplate to top surface and push button clasp for the top tier above inset ivory panel inscribed ARNOLD, CHARLES FRODSHAM, 84 STRAND, LONDON. to the middle tier, with brass key escutcheon over circular plate engraved with repeat serial number 2012 beneath, the sides with brass carrying handles, the box 15cm (6ins) wide. Charles Frodsham was born in 1810 into a family of clockmakers with his grandfather, William originating from Cheshire before moving to London prior to 1781 where he was admitted to the Clockmaker’s Company. His son, William James, had six sons, four of whom joined the firm of Parkinson and Frodsham in London; whilst Charles, the third born son set-up on his own at Barnes Place, Islington in 1834. He moved to 12 Finsbury Pavement in 1836 then to number 7 in 1838. On the death of the renowned chronometer maker John Roger Arnold in 1843 Charles Frodsham acquired the business and began trading as ‘Arnold, Charles Frodsham’ from 84 Strand, London. Unusually Frodsham was not admitted to the Clockmaker’s Company until 1845 but went on to serve as master twice in 1855 and 1862; he was also a founder member of the British horological Institute in 1858.Charles Frodsham became one of the most eminent chronometer makers of his generation who served as a juror in the 1852 International Exhibition held at South Kensington where he also showed a month duration marine chronometer with experimental ‘Duo-in-uno’ balance springs and three different forms of compound balance. In 1854 he purchased the ‘goodwill’ of the late Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy’s business which led to his appointment as Superintendent and Keeper of Her Majesty’s clocks at Buckingham Palace. Charles Frodsham died of liver disease in January 1871 and was succeeded by his son, Harrison Mill Frodsham. The business became Charles Frodsham and Company and in 1884 and then was incorporated as a limited Company in 1893 before relocating to 115 New Bond Street, London two years later where they remained well into the Twentieth Century. The firm is still trading today (from 32 Bury Street, London) as specialist in chronometer, watch and clock makers. The current lot appears to be one of the first chronometers sold by Frodsham after he acquired the late John Roger Arnold’s business in 1843 as the dial carries his former address (7 Pavement, Finsbury Square) whilst the box has a plaque for ‘Arnold, Charles Frodsham’ at 84 Strand, London. This fact is further supported by the existence (in the collection of the National Maritime Museum -accession number ZAA0058) of a small marine chronometer numbered 2025 and signed by Frodsham at 84 Strand which utilises a pocket chronometer movement made by Arnold in around 1802. From this it is reasonable to surmise that Frodsham initially used-up old stock, both from his Finsbury address and Arnolds former business, when he first started trading from 84 Strand in 1843. ϒ Indicates that this lot may be subject to CITES regulations when exported. Please see our Terms & Conditions for more information.
A Victorian mahogany five-glass mantel timepiece, John Poole, London, mid 19th century The four columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum with holdfast to the backplate, the 4.25 inch silvered brass Roman numeral dial signed J. POOLE, 57 FENCHURCH ST., LONDON to centre, with blued steel spade hands and rococo scroll engraved decoration to spandrels areas, the case with bevel-glazed rectangular top panel above cavetto moulded cornice and silvered brass canted fillet inset glazed dial aperture to the front door, the sides with conforming rectangular bevel glazed panels, the rear with rectangular glazed door, the base with ogee outline apron over cavetto moulded skirt and squab feet, 24cm (9.5ins) high. John Poole was a fine chronometer maker who was born in 1818 and set up business in 1833 at 9 York terrace. In circa 1850 Poole devised his own auxiliary compensation for the balance, which was used as standard by many other makers. He worked from several other addresses in the Clerkenwell area including 57 Fenchurch Street, London during the 1850’s. In 1865 his home address was 14 River Street, Myddleton Square where he died by suicide in 1867, the year he won a Gold Medal in Paris. His business was continued by his brother James Poole (born 1816) who had been part of the firm specializing in watches. After the latter's death in 1900, the business was carried on by his son, also James.
An 18 carat gold open faced lever pocket watch with centre seconds Unsigned, Lancashire/London, 1867 The three-quarter plate frosted gilt fusee movement originally with Morton’s patent detached escapement but now converted to standard detached lever regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance with ruby cabochon endstone, the backplate inscribed Patent Union Chronometer, 2664, the white enamel Roman numeral dial inscribed CHRONOMETER, 2664 to the slightly recessed centre, with gilt spade hour and minute hands and blued steel centre seconds hand, the case with engine-turned rear cover and suspension post fitted with hinged loop, the interior numbered 2664 and hallmarked for London 1867 maker’s mark CG for Caroline Green, backplate 44mm (1.75ins) diameter, the case 5cm (2ins) diameter. The current lot belongs to a series of watches extensively described in Penney, David HOROLOGICAL Profiles - Profile No 1. Morton’s Patent Watches. Penney indicates (on page 5) that although unsigned examples are known the movements belong to a single numerical sequence. Marks relating to several movement makers in Prescott are also noted which suggests that this series were all made in Prescott, Lancashire. A list of eighteen recorded serial numbers are subsequently provided with 2522 dating to 1866 and 2695 dating to 1867; the current lot (number 2664) falls between these two and correlates with the 1867 hallmark. Regrettably the escapement has been converted to standard detached lever however the original balance (including the roller and passing flat to the balance arbor) survives and the trains appear unaltered.
A fine and rare French engraved gilt brass carriage clock with two-plane 'chaffcutter' escapement Attributed to Paul Garnier, Paris, retailed by A. Demeur, Brussels, circa 1845 The eight-day two train movement with two-plane 'chaffcutter' escapement regulated by three-arm monometallic balance set between the plates and countwheel striking the hours on a bell mounted on the backplate concealing stamped number 1719 to centre, the fine rococo scroll engraved rectangular gilt brass dial flush fitted with a Roman numeral blue-on-white enamel hour disc inscribed A. DEMEUR. H’er de laCour, BRUXELLES to centre and with blued steel trefoil hands, the gilt brass one-piece caddy moulded bevel-glazed case with hinged slender baton handle above fine foliate scroll and herringbone band engraved frame incorporating upward sliding rear panel decorated with rococo motifs and with shuttered winding holes, on cavetto moulded panel-engraved skirt base with inset rounded angles, 12.5cm (5ins) high excluding handle. Paul Garnier is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development as born 1801 and studying under Antide Janvier before setting up his own workshops in 1825. Garnier was awarded Silver Medals in the Paris Exhibitions of 1827, 34, and 39; and gold medals in 1844 and 49. He worked from various addresses at Rue Taitbout, Paris and died in 1869 leaving the business to his son of the same name who was still exhibiting carriage clocks in the Paris Exhibition of 1889. In 1916 Paul Garnier’s watch and clock collection was bequeathed to the Louvre. Garnier is generally credited for being the first maker to essentially standardise the 'petit pendule portative' which was in effect to become the prototype for the archetypal French carriage clock. The current lot utilises Garniers 'chaffcutter' escapement -the design of which is based on Sully and Debaufre’s frictional rest watch/chronometer escapements. The engraved one-piece caddy moulded case is typical of Garnier’s second series and can be closely compared with an example illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development on pages 62 and 63 (Plates II/30 and 31); both clocks also share the same blued steel trefoil hands.

The parliamentary committee eventually voted Mudge the sum of £2,500.
