An interesting mid 19th century French gorge cased carriage clock with historical inscriptionthe movement numbered 637the rippled handle over an oval inspection window and bold cornice to glazed sides and a moulded base, the cornice engraved TONIGHT AT EIGHT, the base further engraved Wm. E GLADSTONE TO HENRY SEDLEY - LONDON - MAY 21ST 1864, the white rectangular Roman and Arabic enamel dial with Breguet style moon hands, the movement with silvered jewelled English lever escapement striking the hours and half-hours on a gong, 18cms high Footnotes:William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898) was a British Liberal politician and Prime Minister for four non-consecutive terms. He also served as Chancellor of the Exchequer.He was behind many reforms, such as the Trade Union Act of 1871 and pushed for individual liberty and to loosen political and economic restraints. He opposed several wars and was a careful manager of state finances. In 1864 - the year that he gifted this clock to Henry Sedley - he made a speech in which he stated that in principle he did not see why all men could not be enfranchised.The recipient of the clock, Henry Sedley is almost certainly the American journalist who visited England from circa 1862 to 1865. During this time, he published two novels; 'Dangerfield's Rest: A Romance' in 1864, and 'Marion Rooke; or, the Quest for Fortune' in 1865. It has not been possible to ascertain the nature of the relationship between the two men, nor the relevance of the inscription 'Tonight at Eight'. Sedley was born in Boston in 1835 and died in New York City in 1899. During a long career, he was one of the editors of the New York Evening Post, Times, and Commercial Advertiser; founder and, for a time, editor of the Round Table.

Lot 168
A good mid 19th century Continental rosewood grande sonnerie striking and repeating Vienna regulatorthe gong block stamped Ditmair the case surmounted by C-scroll and floral swag cresting above a sharply moulded top with three glazed sides and carved floral corners, the white enamel dial with black Roman chapter ring and elegant steel beetle and poker hands, encircled by a cast brass piecrust bezel, the weight-driven triple barrel gut line movement with anchor escapement and artistically pierced pulleys, striking and repeating the quarters and hours on two hammers and two gongs, with three brass-cased weights and wood rod pendulum, with winding key and case key, 129cms highFootnotes:This clock is a good example of a Late Biedermeier Vienna regulator. The Biedermeier era was an aesthetic movement in Central Europe between 1815-1848, which embraced middle-class, domestic tableaus, characterised by simplicity of style and an emphasis on the natural world for decorative inspiration. This not only applied to paintings, but music and furniture as well. The elaborate bezel, delicate hands, and straight-sided pastoral-inspired carved case is all typical of Vienna regulators from this period, specifically the later period, around 1840.No reference can be found to the 'Ditmair' stamped on the gong block. It is not uncommon for Vienna regulators of this period to be unsigned, and it is possible that Ditmair was a gong manufacturer, rather then a horologist. Vienna's trades at this time were fiercely regulated; an entire guild was devoted strictly to clock hands, and it was said that clockmakers were banned from making their own cases until 1860, this procedure until that point being controlled by a separate guild. It is interesting to note that another Austrian grand-sonnerie clock, this one a wood mantel clock, is also stamped 'Ditmair' on the gong base, see MÖBELMUSEUM WIEN (2022) Biedermeier and Empire.
