A fine George III ormolu mounted ebonised quarter-chiming table clock with pull-trip repeat Ellicott, London, circa 1765 The substantial six pillar triple chain fusee movement chiming the quarters on a graduated nest of six bells and sounding the hours on a further larger bell, the backplate engraved with scrolling foliage around a central rococo cartouche containing a pedestal surmounted with a Classical urn, the 7 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed Ellicott, London to lower edge, with pierced steel hands and rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a subsidiary STRIKE/SILENT selection dial flanked by conforming mounts, the bell-top case with brass flambeau finial set on a raised plinth flanked by scroll-pierced brass fret ornaments over rococo scroll cast mounts to each side of the superstructure bordered with brass fillet mouldings to lower edge and flanked by further flambeau finials, over double cavetto top mouldings and rectangular front door inset with brass half-round brass fillet mouldings to the break-arch glazed aperture and upper quadrant panels flanked by female term and scroll decorated canted angles, the sides with heavy hinged brass carrying handles over concave-topped brass bordered rectangular glazed apertures, the rear matching the front on brass bound cavetto moulded skirt base with substantial foliate scroll cast bracket feet, 56cm (22ins) high excluding top finial; 65cm (25.5ins) high overall. John Ellicott F.R.S. is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as born 1706 to John Ellicott senior, a Cornish clockmaker who had gained his Freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1696 and died 1733. John junior worked from Swithin's Alley, Royal Exchange, London and was elected member of the Royal Society in 1738. He published works on horology in 1739 and 1753 and is particularly noted for the development of the cylinder escapement and a form of compensated pendulum; he also maintained a private observatory at his home in Hackney. John Ellicott was later appointed as Clockmaker to George III, and took his son, Edward into partnership in 1760 which lasted until his death in 1772. The current lot is a 'textbook' example from a series of quarter chiming and grande-sonnerie table clocks made by the Ellicott workshop during the third quarter of the 18th century. A very closely related example signed for John Ellicott was sold at Bonhams, London sale of Fine Clocks, Wednesday 20th June 2012 (lot 121) realising £20,000 whilst another, this time with fired enamel dial inserts, is currently being offered by Dorset Clocks for £32,500.Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition; the escapement is a 19th century conversion to anchor which has been done with fairly minimal intervention to the plates hence reconversion back to verge with short pendulum should be fairly straightforward (if desired). The mechanism otherwise is free of any visible alteration with repairs limited to minor rebushing. The dial is in fine original condition although the slivering is now a little worn/discoloured and is generally a little dirty with some localised tarnishing to the brass; the hands appear original and are undamaged. The case is generally in fine original condition with notable faults limited to the top finial being detached (the socket into which it screws is worn) and the front right foot being detached due both the case fixing tabs positioned to the rear of the casting having broken-off (they are both present and screwed to the case). The front left hand style of the case (onto which the female caryatid mount is attached) is a little loose in its joints. The case otherwise is in fine condition with hardly any blemishes or wear hence would have appeared to have had an easy life!Clock is complete with pendulum, case key and winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A George II burr walnut quarter-chiming eight-day longcase clock, Samuel Thorne, London, circa 1740, the triple train five pillar movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum chiming the quarters on a graduated nest of eight bells and sounding the hour on a further larger bell, the 12 inch gilt brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and arched nameplate engraved Samuel Thorne, 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 pierced blued steel hands and mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath STRIKE/SILENT selection dial flanked by dolphin cast mounts to arch, the case with generous break-arch cavetto cornice with fluted canted angles flanking the glazed dial aperture and scroll-pierced and engraved brass rectangular side frets to hood, the trunk with conforming canted angles flanking a book-matched burr-veneered herringbone banded shaped-top trunk door with cavetto moulded surround over conforming plinth base with the canted angles terminating with an out-swept curve just above the moulded skirt, 232cm (91.25ins) high Samuel Thorne is recorded in Baillie, G.H. 'Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World' as apprenticed in 1722.The unusual design of the case of the current lot with its generous canted angles continuing almost for the entire height of the case, fine quality figured veneers and engraved brass sound frets to the hood is reminiscent of a small series of cases housing ogee-arched dialled movements by Daniel Delander and John Ellicott. One such example (by Delander) is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (accession number 64.101.864).Condition Report: Movement is in good clean working condition with no visible alteration or significant replacements or repairs. The dial is generally in fine condition and of very nice quality with faults limited to some patchy tarnishing to the silvering of the chapter ring. The movement sits at the correct level in the case with no apparent alterations to the seatboard or case uprights hence we are the opinion that the movement and dial are original to the case.The case is generally in fine condition. The curved top panel to the top of the hood is probably a replacement and there are some small chips to edges of the cornice moulding otherwise faults to the hood and trunk are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, light shrinkage and some small historic veneer chip patch repairs. The base is in similar condition with the exception of the sides which have some more noticeable (but not problematic) horizontal veneer shrinkage cracking.Clock has three brass-cased weights, pendulum and two case keys (no winder). Condition Report Disclaimer

A George III small giltmetal-mounted ebonised bracket timepiece with pull-quarter repeat By John Ellicott, London, circa 1760The inverted bell-top case with brass carrying handle above a moulded pediment, the glazed front door with arched panel, the back door similar, flanked to each side with two glazed panels, on plinth base and block feet; the 5in. arched brass dial, signed John Ellicott, London on a silvered roundel to the arch, above silvered chapter ring enclosing a matted centre, blued steel hands and calendar aperture, the chain fusée movement with four turned pillars, anchor escapement (formerly verge) foliate engraved backplate, signed to the centre, with pull-quarter repeat on three bells, and with sliding bell-hammer block and fine quality repeat work below the dial; restorations, (1 pendulum)39cm highJohn Ellicott II succeeded his father of the same name. A Fellow of the Royal Society, he was appointed Clockmaker to the King. Recorded as working in 1728, he died in 1772. Condition Report (1 pendulum)The clock ticks when wound. It is a timepiece so does not strike the hour. However it is pull-quarter repeat which allows the user to pull a cord which comes through the side to give the last hour and quarter. This mechanism works but the cord needs replacing as it's broken and too short to go through the case.The movement was formerly verge escapement and has been converted to anchor. There are no frets or glass to the sides. The left hand edge moulding of the pediment is loose. The dome joints are split, secure but could be improved. The dial silvering is a bit flat and the wax infill to the chapters is lost in places. The brass frets in the door spandrels are replaced. Some veneer chips and losses to the dial surround fillet.The height with handle up is 38cm.

Ellicott, London. A fine 18K gold key wind quarter repeating pair case pocket watch with repousse decoration depicting Hannibal at Nine Years of Age, Swearing Enmity to the RomansDate: London Hallmark for 1770Movement: Gilt full plate with cylinder escapement, pierced and engraved balance cock, plain 3-arm balance, diamond end stone, silver regulation, baluster pillars, two hammers striking on the bell, No.6369Dial: White, black Arabic numerals, black outer minute divisions, gold heart form handsCase: Pierced and engraved inner depicting a green man and riverside scene, numbered 6369, signed inner cap numbered 6369, inner bell secured by 1 screw, pierced and engraved outer repousse case depicting Hannibal at Nine Years of Age, Swearing Enmity to the RomansSigned: Movement, case stamped HTSize: Outer 50mm Accompaniments: Associated gilt chatelaine engraved with instrument panelsFootnotes:John Ellicott was born in 1706, the son of a clockmaker of the same name. He was one of the outstanding clockmakers of the 18th century, producing a large number of fine clocks for the home market and export and was also instrumental in the perfection of the cylinder escapement. His reputation for excellence in design and execution lead him to the position in 1762 of Clockmaker to King George III. For this role he was paid 150 pounds per annum. Roughly at the same time he took into partnership his son Edward with later works dating from 1769 onward signed '& Son'.The repousse of the current lot depicts a 9 year old Hannibal standing before a statue of Hercules, with his sword placed on the altar, swearing an oath to his father Hamilcar to never be a friend of the Romans. Through time the significance and original meaning of this oath has evolved and it is now not uncommon to use Hannibal as a metaphor for an intense and unyielding hatred. At the age of 26 Hannibal became the commander in chief of the Carthaginian army and went on to accomplish a legendary defeat of the Romans.For mention of this watch see page 30 in The Art of the Gold Chaser in Eighteenth-Century London by Richard Edgcumbe where the current example is described as an example of a late rococo case with scenes previously used by Moser.A further example of this repousse scene is illustrated as Fig.61a in the same text.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

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).

John Ellicott had his first address in Austin Friars Street, London before moving to Swithin's Alley, Royal Exchange where amongst his numerous achievements he invented a form of compensated pendulum and designed the London Hospital Clock. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1738 where he served on the board and wrote a number of papers being a keen observer of scientific matters having an observatory in his Hackney home and was appointed as Clockmaker to King George III.

A rare George III mahogany eight-day precision mean and sidereal longcase clock with annual calendar, John Ellicott, London, mid 18th century The six pillar rack and bell hour-striking movement with large diameter greatwheel and deadbeat escapement incorporating inverted Y-shaped pallets regulated by seconds pendulum impulsed via a long crutch set between banking pins on the backplate, the plates with integral tall arched extensions at the top to carry the annual calendar disc driven via a worm gear opposing inverted crown wheel advanced by a flag fitted to the going greatwheel at the other end of the arbor, behind the calendar drive wheel is a kidney-shaped cam for sidereal adjustment governing the rise and fall of a slider running up and down the movement frontplate engaging with a detent controlling the depth of a rack assembly fitted to a minute disc behind the dial, which in turn governs the relative position of the sidereal minute hand in relation to its mean time counterpart, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial plate applied with silvered Roman numeral disc centre signed Ellicott, London and with Arabic fifteen minutes beyond the outer track, with pierced blued steel hour and minute hands and additional straight hand for sidereal minutes incorporating an engraved brass solar disc to tail, the angles with fine rococo scroll cast spandrels beneath arch incorporating large sector revealing the silvered annual calendar disc engraved with declination of the sun in degrees to inner track, Zodiacal calendar annotated with respective symbols and with every ten days numbered, within full annual calendar ring annotated for months of the year with divisions for every day numbered in tens reading against a fixed steel wire perpendicular pointer, in a mahogany break-arch case with cavetto cornice and foliate scroll pieced arched frieze over brass stop fluted columns flanking the glazed dial aperture, the sides with rectangular foliate pierced rectangular sound frets and quarter columns applied to bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with ‘Block-top’ break-arch flame figured door flanked by brass stop-fluted quarter columns to front angles, the plinth base with shaped raised panel to front over moulded double skirt incorporating squat bracket feet with shaped apron between, 226cm (89ins) high. John Ellicott F.R.S. is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as born 1706 to John Ellicott senior, a Cornish clockmaker who had gained his Freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1696 and died 1733. John junior worked from Swithin's Alley, Royal Exchange, London and was elected member of the Royal Society in 1738. He published works on horology in 1739 and 1753 and is particularly noted for the development of the cylinder escapement and a form of compensated pendulum; he also maintained a private observatory at his home in Hackney. John Ellicott was later appointed as Clockmaker to George III, and took his son, Edward into partnership in 1760 which lasted until his death in 1772. The current lot is rare in that it shows both mean time and solar time together on the same dial. This complexity requires mechanism which can automatically advance or retard the solar minute hand relative to the mean minutes hand as they both rotate around the dial. This is cleverly done by employing a rack applied to a minute disc within the motionwork to govern the degree of variance between the two hands. This rack is automatically checked every hour by a detent fitted to a slider connected to the kidney-shaped equation cam set in the arch behind the calendar wheel. The basic mechanical principal of this configuration was probably devised by George Graham in the 1740’s. Indeed three regulators by him, each incorporating an equation-cam adjusted solar minute hand and very similar dial layout to the current lot, are illustrated and described in depth in Robinson, Tom The LONGCASE CLOCK pages 184-94 inclusive.As a Fellow of The Royal Society John Ellicott would have most likely known all of the most eminent scientists and astronomers of the day hence would have been aware of the latest advances as well as being in a position to provide timepieces to highly enlightened clients. The current lot would appear to follow in the footsteps of the equation regulators made by George Graham although is perhaps a little more domestic friendly; suggesting that it was most likely supplied to an enlightened amateur rather than for an observatory.
