Loomes mentions clocks by him signed as being made in Dukes Court, London whilst other examples inscribed Suffolk Street, London are also known .

John Johnson is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Walton-on-Thames circa 1766.
A George III style mahogany hour-striking miniature longcase regulator Unsigned, the movement early 19th century, the dial and case later The substantial five knopped pillar bell striking movement with five-spoke wheel crossings, Harrison s maintaining power and deadbeat escapement with adjustable pallets regulated by wood rod seconds pendulum with large brass lenticular bob and position adjustment screws to the T -bar suspension, now with 9 inch shallow ogee-arch top silvered brass dial with subsidiary seconds over Arabic twenty-four hour dial to centre within outer minute track, with blued steel hands, winding hole shutter lever to upper right hand corner and N/S selection lever to arch, in a purpose made mahogany case with shallow chamfered stepped superstructure over cavetto cornice, plain frieze, glazed dial aperture and rectangular side windows to hood, the trunk with concave throat and flame figured caddy moulded rectangular door, on crossbanded plinth base with moulded skirt, 171cm (67ins) high.

A Queen Anne tortoiseshell japanned eight-day longcase clock James West, London, early 18th century The five finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with ringed winding holes, subsidiary seconds, floral scroll border engraved calendar aperture and burnished oval signature cartouche engraved James West, London 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 scroll-pierced steel hands and applied twin cherub and crown spandrels to angles, in a japanned case with mounded cornice and gilt scroll painted blind frieze to lintel over conforming decorated glazed hood door applied with three-quarter columns to angles, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures and quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with floral spray centred concave throat moulding over 40 inch door centred with a brass-bordered circular lenticle and decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with Oriental figures within an Arcadian Chinoiserie landscape on a simulated tortoiseshell ground, the surround painted with scrollwork and leafy sprays, the sides with Ho-Ho birds and large scale foliage, on conforming plinth base fronted with raised figure inhabited garden scene over moulded skirt, 211cm (83ins) high.
An unusual French gilt brass and polished wood carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm Unsigned, late 19th century The two train eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the same gong, the circular silvered Roman numeral dial with rosette engraved centre and blued steel spade hands set within engine-turned mask incorporating conforming alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel glazed case with wood inset substantial hinged carrying handle over gilt top plate incorporating escapement aperture and repeat button over complex wood top mouldings and alternating wood/gilt brass reeded corner uprights divided by further brass plates, the rear with door, on ogee moulded skirt base terminating with brass plate and shallow pad feet, 16cm (6.25ins) high. The unusual combination of gilt brass and polished wood for the case, coupled with the engine-turned and engraved silvered dial are features that were almost certainly employed to ensure that the current lot appealed to the English market. The fact that the backplate is also annotated with the various functions in English would confirm that the clock was made for export to the United Kingdom.
A fine miniature engraved gilt brass and blue champlevé enamel Japonesque carriage timepiece Retailed by Le Roy and Fils, Paris, circa 1880 The eight-day movement with unusual platform incorporating vertical lever escapement set between the plates regulated by horizontal sprung split bimetallic balance, the backplate with engraved signature LE ROY & FILS, 13. 15 PALAIS ROYAL, PARIS and No. 11516 over indistinct BREVETE trademark incorporating anchor and initials P M opposing further stamped number 12657, the circular dial with mid-blue and gilt rosette centre within faux Japanese cartouche numeral chapter ring, with blued steel hands set within bevelled convex-glazed gilt bezel, the mid blue enamel and gilt brass case with pierced hinged tied loop handle applied via quatrefoil fleur-de-lys strapwork boss onto the rectangular case decorated with stork and dragonfly inhabited stylised foliage, the rear with hinged door and the rounded angles applied with pierced leafy trefoil mounts to all four corners, 7cm (2.75ins) high. The stamped anchor trademark incorporating the initials P M to the backplate of the current lot is probably that of the maker of the movement who, as far as the cataloguer is aware, remains unidentified (although details in its execution suggests that it is possibly Swiss made). A closely related model using silver as the base metal for the case was sold at Bonhams, Bond Street, London in their sale of Fine Clocks 6th July 2016 (lot 134) for £2,000. The firm of 'Le Roy & Fils' can be traced back to 1785 when the business was founded by Basille Charles Le Roy at 60 Galerie de Pierre, Palais Royal, Paris. During the Revolutionary years the firm relocated to 88 Rue de L'Egalite before finally settling at Galerie Montpensier, 13 and 15 Palais Royal. In 1828 Basille Charles died leaving the business to his son, Charles-Louis, who continued producing clocks signed 'Le Roy & Fils' until 1845 when the firm was sold to his former employee Casimir Halley Desfontaines; who was in-turn succeeded by his son M. George Halley Desfontaines in 1883. In 1888 M. George Halley died leaving the business to his brother Jules Halley who then took-in as partner Louis Leroy (apparently no relation to the founders of the firm). In 1899 the firm left the Palais Royal and moved to Boulevard de La Madeleine from where it continued trading in the hands of various successors well into the twentieth century.
A George I walnut eight-day longcase clock Henry Batterson, London, circa 1720 The five finned pillar (centre latched) inside rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch shallow break-arch dial with star decorated subsidiary seconds dial, leaf-bordered winding holes and hatched calendar aperture to the foliate edged 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 angles applied with fine Indian mask and leafy scroll cast spandrels within herringbone border, the arch with applied silvered oval name cartouche signed Henry Battercon, Londini Fecit within serpent border and fine symmetrical foliate scroll engraved field, the walnut case with cross grain ogee moulded cornice and scroll pierced quadrant frets over three-quarter columns to the glazed hood door, the sides with arch-glazed apertures and conforming applied quarter columns against bargeboards to the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding over rectangular herringbone banded door centred with an oval brass lenticle, the sides with two crossbanded panels, on conforming herringbone bordered plinth base with double skirt and cushion-shaped squab feet, 230cm (90.5ins) high. Henry Batterson is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire in 1676 and apprenticed to William Davison in 1694, passing to Jonathon Puller in 1696 and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers Company in 1701.
A rare William and Mary oak thirty-hour longcase clock The dial with engraved initials J.W., probably Bristol / West Country, circa 1690 The posted single handed movement lacking all wheelwork and strike detents except for the hour wheel, laid out for anchor escapement regulated by long pendulum and countwheel bell strike, the frame with rectangular section corner uprights and distinctive figure-of-eight shaped lugs presumably to carry the bellstand (now lacking) to the top plate, the 10 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture to the richly engraved centre decorated with central vase issuing entwined scrolling foliage and tulip blooms incorporating engraved initials JW within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with tiered fleur-de-lys half hour markers and quarter hour to inner track, with generous scroll pierced sculpted steel hand and winged cherub and filiate scroll cast mounts to angles, the oak case with complex double ogee cornice over solomonic three quarter columns flanking the dial aperture applied with half round moulded surround, the sides with conforming quarter columns applied to bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with convex throat moulding over 40 inch rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle, on ogee moulded plinth base with moulded skirt, (movement wheelwork lacking), 210cm (82.5ins) high. The symmetrical foliate engraving issuing from a vase set towards the lower margin of the dial centre is reminiscent of that seen on longcase clock dials by makers such as John London of Bristol and Lawrence Debnam of Froome as well as lantern clock dials by George Newton of Seend (see Darken, Jeff (editor) TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 pages 30-39 and 42-5). The unusual pair of figure-of-eight lugs applied to the top plate suggest that the movement was fitted a twin-footed bell stand - a system favoured by John London. Furthermore the proportions of the case with complex cornice and solomonic columns to hood over relatively slender trunk and plinth can also perhaps be described reminiscent of that housing the thirty-hour longcase clock movement and dial by John London illustrated on page 34 of TIME & PLACE. From these observations it would be reasonable to suggest that the current lot was probably made in the West Country near or in Bristol. Despite the movement lacking almost all of its wheelwork the current lot presents as an interesting and rare example certainly worthy of restoration.
A fine George III gilt brass mounted ebonised quarter-chiming table clock with enamel dials Robert Philp, London, circa 1770 The substantial six pillar triple chain fusee bell striking movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum and chiming a melody for the quarters on a graduated nest of eight bells with eight hammers, the leafy foliate scroll engraved backplate signed Rob t Philp, London to an elaborate scroll cartouche, the 7 inch brass break-arch dial applied with circular convex white enamel Roman numeral centre with Arabic five minutes to outer track and pierced gilt brass hands , the angles with applied foliate cast spandrels beneath subsidiary STRIKE/SILENT selection dial flanked by conforming cast mounts to arch, the gilt brass mounted ebonised bell top case capped with urn finial to the scroll-outline upstand over rococo scroll cast gilt brass mounts and four further gilt finials to superstructure, the front door with inset gilt fillet moulding to the glazed dial aperture and scroll cast upper quadrant frets flanked by canted angles adorned with fine female caryatid and tied rose drapery cast mounts, the sides with hinged gilt brass handles over circular and concave-topped musical trophy and sunburst cherub mask cast sound frets, the rear with break-arch glazed door, the cavetto moulded shallow skirt base applied with lion s mask centred drapery swag mount to front, on generous leafy scroll cast feet, 51cm (20ins) excluding top finial; 56cm (22ins) high overall. Robert Philp is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in London circa 1740-81. He was maker of musical and astronomical clocks and watches who was known to have supplied clocks sent to China and also movements for installation in Chinese cases (see White, Ian English Clocks for the Eastern Markets pages 223 and 225, Figure 8.14b). A particularly fine ormolu cased quarter striking table clock with revolving spherical moon made by Philp for the Chinese market was sold at Sotheby s in their sale entitled Arts of Europe , London, 10th July 2013 (lot 85) for £73,300.
A Queen Anne walnut eight-day longcase clock Lewis Beavan, Bristol, circa 1705 The four finned pillar inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with ringed winding holes, subsidiary seconds dial and scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed Lewis, Beavan, Bristol, Fecit to lower margin, with pierced blued steel hands and twin cherub and crown leafy cast spandrels to angles, in a case with stepped caddy superstructure over ogee cornice and plain frieze above glazed hood door, the sides with rectangular windows and quarter columns applied to bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with rectangular book-matched veneered door centred with a lenticle, the sides stained pine to resemble walnut, on conforming ogee moulded herringbone and crossbanded plinth base with double moulded skirt, 227cm (89.5ins) high approx. Lewis Beavan does not appear to be recorded in the usual sources however stylistically the current lot can be confidently dated to the first decade of the 18th century. The case is of typical Bristol type for this date with the sides originally finished with scumbled decoration to simulate walnut.
A William IV brass inlaid mahogany octagonal fusee dial timepiece The dial signed for S.H. Boyce, Dereham, circa 1830 The four pillar single fusee movement with shouldered plates and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the 12 inch cream painted Roman numeral convex dial bearing signature S.H.

The mouldings used and the overall design/layout the current lot is akin to Tompion phase 1 table clock casework, an example of which (Tompion No. 89) is illustrated in Evans, J., Carter, J. and Wright, B. THOMAS TOMPION, 300 YEARS on page 330-31.
A William III burr walnut and marquetry longcase clock of one month duration Joseph Windmills, London, circa 1695 The six finned and latched pillar bell striking movement with high position outside countwheel and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed J: Windmills, London to lower edge, the angles with gilt twin cherub and crown cast spandrels with foliate engraved infill between, the case with rising hood incorporating ogee moulded cornice and floral trail marquetry decoration to frieze above conforming inlaid glazed dial surround applied with Solomonic three-quarter columns to front angles, the sides with rectangular scroll pierced sound frets and further quarter columns applied against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with convex marquetry veneered throat moulding over rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle and with three shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited scrolling flowering foliage on a fruitwood ground within a walnut field, the sides with twin ebony line edged crossbanded panels, the base with conforming rectangular marquetry panel within further crossbanded surround, 206cm (81ins) high. Provenance: Private collection from a significant Gloucestershire manor house. The life and work of Joseph Windmills and his successors is comprehensively documented in Neale, J.A. Joseph and Thomas Windmills Clock and Watch Makers 1671-1737. Joseph joined the Clockmakers' Company as a free Brother in on 29th September 1671 - the same year that Joseph Knibb, Daniel Quare and Thomas Tompion also gained their freedom of the Company. He initially worked from Blow Bladder Street in St. Martins le Grand, London before moving to premises at Swan Court, Mark Lane End, next Tower Str eet by April 1674 where the business remained. Joseph took his son, Thomas, as an apprentice who, after gaining his freedom in 1696, is thought to have immediately gone into business with his father; by 1700 the firm had become a partnership which lasted until Joseph's death in 1724. As a contemporary of Knibb, Quare and Tompion, Joseph Windmills would have had to compete with some of the finest clockmakers that have ever lived during a period of heightened scientific enlightenment. In this environment Windmills excelled, producing clocks of a quality that equalled many of his more famous peers. Provenance: Private Collection from a significant Gloucestershire manor house.
