A GEORGE III BRASS-MOUNTED EBONISED STRIKING TABLE CLOCKBy Justin Vulliamy, London, circa 1770The bell-top case with a brass carrying handle, above a glazed panel door and glazed sides, on stepped base and brass bracket feet, the 6in arched brass dial signed on an escutcheon in the arch between two subsidiaries for Strike /Silent and calibrated pendulum regulation, with signed silvered chapter ring enclosing a matted centre with false pendulum aperture and calendar aperture, the twin train wire gut fusée movement, foliate engraved backplate and pendulum locking block36cm high (handle up)Francois-Justin Vulliamy (1712-1797), the son of a pastor at Gingins, in the Pays de Vaud region in Switzerland, emigrated to England in 1730. Invited into partnership with his future father-in-law Benjamin Gray (d. 1764) around 1743, who the year prior had been appointed Watchmaker in Ordinary to George II, it was then extended to the Partnership. The Pall Mall based business flourished, with output of the highest quality. Following Gray's death the Royal Warrant passed to Vulliamy and continued to be held by the firm throughout the 19th century.This clock appears not to be numbered. Justin Vulliamy began numbering around 1780, although the surviving record books begins with clock No. 296 in 1797. So this piece would have been made after Gray's death, when Justin Vulliamy signed in his own name and before he began his numbering in the 1780s.The clock is in original condition. The dial is stained. The case with marks and knocks consistent with age. The back door hinges replaced. Chips and repairs to fillet edge around dial. The movement runs and ticks. Original movement and case. Some restoration to the case. Clock is 36cm high

The technique of flat, incised decoration with inked scenes against a cut away, punched background, often depicted Biblical, literary, and historical scenes accompanied by animals and mythical beasts. Pieces were typically made of cedar or cypress due to their relative softness for ease of carving, but also for their warm colour and scent, which was a deterrent to moth and worm damage. Chests and boxes made of cypress and cedar were useful for storing valuable textiles, and period inventories throughout Europe record them, indicating that they were desirable objects and traded far outside their region of origin. In Shakespeare’s ‘Taming of the Shrew’ Gremio brags of his cypress chests containing ‘arras counterpoints, costly apparel, tents, and canopies, fine linen, Turkey cushions, … and all things that belong to house or housekeeping’. A cypress chest filled with bed hangings was listed in the 1626 inventory of Cockseden [P. Thornton, Furniture History, 1971, p. 68] and examples are in the collection of the V&A and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Please be aware that this lot contains material which may be subject to import/export restrictions, especially outside the EU, due to CITES regulations.

Under 2 passepartouts. (All prints slightly browned ("Fire" a bit more), some tiny foxing spots on the right side of "Earth"). NOTE:Escher designed these 'four elements' (Aarde, Lucht, Vuur, Water) as New Year's wishes for Eugène & Willy Strens. Text on the prints: "Eugene & Willy Strens, Felicitas 1953(-56)". Text not visible (under passepartout). Prints stamped on back side by Eugene Strens. In fine condition. - H.J.P.C. Bruul, 'De collectie Strens' (in: Uit de boeken van Eugène Strens. Zutphen/The Hague, 1995): "Met Escher wordt ook uitvoerig gecorrespondeerd over de grafische uitvoering van de nieuwjaarswensen. Is er aanvankelijk sprake van vier litho's, uiteindelijk kiest Strens, in verband met de lagere drukkosten voor cliché's. Door de tweekleurendruk van de wenskaarten werden er acht verschillende cliché's gemaakt. In de vakliteratuur en de veilingcatalogi is er tot nu toe steeds van uitgegaan dat de wensen gesneden zijn in hout. Dit blijkt nu dus onjuist te zijn." (p.42-43); Bool, 382-385.
