An impressive 18th century brass-bound ebony quarter-repeating table clock with moonphaseClaude Duchesne, LondonThe case surmounted by an inverted caddy top with central finial over a silk-backed pierced soundfret framed by four further finials over an elaborately moulded cornice raised on brass-mounted Tuscan three-quarter columns to each corner framing the long shaped pierced brass-framed sound frets backed in silk to each side, the front and rear doors with similar brass frames, all on a multi-layered moulded base bound in brass to the top and bottom, on substantial brass bun feet. The 8-inch arched brass dial with rare 'Chronos' spandrels depicting a bearded Father Time below a sandglass and pair of wings, framing the silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring with lozenge half-quarter marks and fleur des lys half-hour markers signed Claudius DuChesne Londini between V and VII, the finely matted centre with ringed winding holes, chamfered and engraved calendar and mock pendulum apertures under intricately pierced blued steel hands, the arch decorated with foliate scrolls and a pair of birds within strapwork enclosing a strike/not strike lever, moonphase (the outer scale marked 1-59) and aperture for setting the phase of the moon. The twin gut fusee movement with five knopped pillars and knife-edge verge escapement, the backplate with extensive floral and strapwork engraving, a partridge in the centre and a beast mask below, framed by a stylised wheatear border. Ticking, striking and repeating with a door key and a winding key. 73cms (28.5ins) highFootnotes:Claude Duchesne was seemingly born around 1670. It is commonly accepted that he lived in Paris, until just after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, at which point he joined many other Huguenot refugees and fled to the U.K. It is uncertain exactly when he arrived, with some putting it as early as 1689. The first concrete evidence of his life in the U.K. is from 1693; not only was he made free of the Clockmaker's Company in this year, he also married Elizabeth Bossu in Stepney. The couple would have at least three children; Claudius, born in 1699, Elizabeth born in 1706, and Anthony, born in 1708, though there are some contemporary reports of the couple having five children at one point. Claudius would eventually become a weaver, and Anthony would become a goldsmith. It is not known what became of Elizabeth. Duchesne became a British citizen in 1711. Duchesne was known to sign his clocks as either 'Claude' or 'Claudius' and 'Duchesne' or 'Du Chesne'. The exact location of his shop is questionable; most clocks give a location of either 'Dean Street, Soho' or 'Long Acre', so it seems likely that he was working in Soho. Wherever he worked, Duchesne appears to have been a highly regarded maker, especially in the construction of musical clocks. An account given by Jane Squire in 1731, notes that she 'understood he had made the musical Part of most of the musical Clocks of Note in Town'. Duchesne set himself apart from other makers of the time by featuring interchangeable music barrels, a style that had last been extensively practiced by William Jourdain in the later 17th century. Both makers also featured twelve bells with multiple, variable hammers and parallel motion music work. This suggests a detailed knowledge of music theory, in addition to the horological skill required to make such clocks. It seems that Duchesne may also have had some acquaintance with George Graham and John Harrison, the latter being introduced to Duchesne by the former. It is thought that Harrison contacted Duchesne in order to obtain the large quantities of brass he, Harrison, needed for his horological experimentations. Claude Duchesne is believed to have died in April 1733, and been buried in St. James, Paddington. His son, Anthony, married Anne Gagnon, and the couple had six children, one of whom, Claude (born in 1735) would go on to be a clockmaker. Duchesne's other known son, Claudius, married Anne, and the couple had four children. One of their children, Elizabeth 'Betty' Duchesne was born in 1724 and was known to be close friends with John, Charles and Sarah Wesley, with John Wesley conducting her funeral in 1776. It is thought that Elizabeth was responsible for gifting a walnut, moon phase eight-day longcase clock, made by her grandfather, to the Wesley's. The clock is reported to have never left Wesley's house, where it remains to this day. A late 19th century account suggests that the clock is the very timepiece that inspired Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to write The Old Clock on the Stairs, though this is not definitive: 'Half-way up the stairs it stands/And points and beckons with its hands.By day its voice is low and light/But in the silent dead of night,Distinct as a passing footstep's fall/It echoes along the vacant hall,Along the ceiling, along the floor/And seems to say, at each chamber-door, --'Forever -- never!/Never -- forever!''Blake, G.

A good and rare late 18th century mahogany drop dial timepieceMatthew and Thomas Dutton, LondonThe 13.5 inch signed Roman and Arabic dial with minute track and original heart shaped hands framed by a cast concave brass bezel within a convex moulded surround over shaped side pieces to the drop trunk terminating in a moulded chisel foot with locking door (key present). The substantial single gut (now wire) fusee movement with large plates united by four tapering pillars, the anchor escapement with heavy steel-rod pendulum on a T-bar suspension 66.5cms (26ins) high. Footnotes:A similar wall clock by Thomas Mudge and William Dutton is illustrated in Birch Thomas Mudge and William Dutton, a perfect partnership 2019, page 44.William Dutton was apprenticed to George Graham in 1738, suggesting 1724 as a likely birth year. His father is listed as Matthew Dutton, a gentleman from Marton, Buckinghamshire. William gained his freedom in 1746, possibly marrying Ann Millward a year later, though this is not confirmed. Around 1760, a William Dutton is recorded living in Bolt Court, which was quite near to Fleet Street. Another former Graham apprentice, Thomas Mudge, was living very close to William Dutton. The two eventually entered into partnership, though exactly when is unsure. It seems that for most of their partnership, Mudge was solely responsible for paying the Land Tax, meaning Dutton's name doesn't appear in the Tax books until the 1770's. The earliest proposed date for the start of the partnership is 1750/51, with most sources agreeing that the two were certainly in partnership by 1765, operating out of 151 Fleet Street. Around the time that the partnership was forming, William and Ann had two children; Matthew, likely born around 1757, and Thomas, likely born around 1762, who would both become horologists. The couple would have at least four other children; Sarah, Hephzibah, Nancy, and Dorothea. In April 1771, Matthew Dutton was apprenticed to Thomas Mudge. However, this same year Mudge departed London for Plymouth, to concentrate on his chronometer construction. It appears that Matthew's apprenticeship was turned over to his father at this point, and he gained his freedom in 1779. His younger sibling, Thomas, was apprenticed to their father in 1776, and gained his freedom in 1791. William Dutton managed the business for Mudge and is recorded as being the rate holder for 151 Fleet Street, beginning in 1772. By 1774, Dutton had moved the premises to 148 Fleet Street, though the shop continued to be called Mudge & Dutton. Around this same time, Mudge began submitting chronometer's to the Board of Longitude, and Matthew Dutton appears to have acted as a go between. He would deliver the chronometer to be tested to the Observatory, taking it apart to demonstrate Mudge's modifications, monitor it when it was on test, and then communicate to Mudge any questions or rulings from the Board. Interestingly, Mudge Jr. noted that the 'Green' and 'Blue' chronometers were delivered to 'Mr. Dutton' in 1790 and had since remained with the Duttons. When, and under what circumstances, the chronometers left 148 Fleet Street, remains unknown.William Dutton died in 1794, having left all the tools, engines, and utensils of his trade to Matthew and Thomas. He also left the shop and, presumably upstairs, apartment to Matthew, and the adjoining apartment to Thomas. Thomas Mudge also features heavily in William's will, being left one-third of all William's estate, land, and tenants in Bedford, the other two-thirds to be shared by Matthew and Thomas. The three horologists were also appointed his executors, as well as the appraisers of all the stock in his shop, with the option of appointing additional appraisers, should they see the need. Money was also left to the other four children, as well as a small annual pension to be paid to Elizabeth Dutton, and her daughter Caroline. It seems quite likely that Elizabeth and Caroline Dutton where the wife and daughter, respectively, of Benjamin Dutton, William's nephew and a horologist. He was apprenticed to John Holmes in 1755, though it is unclear when he gained his freedom. Interestingly, it has been suggested that John Holmes was one of the first manufacturers to supply 'Mudge & Dutton' with movements, before Holmes moved out of the area around 1760. Benjamin died in 1786, leaving everything to his wife Elizabeth.William Dutton also left some money to Thomas Mudge and John Priest, another of Graham's former apprentices, to thank them both for their firm friendship throughout the years. It appears that William's wife, Ann, died in 1787, the same year that the majority of William's will was written. It was updated in 1792, to include leaving some money to his daughter in law Katherine, who appears to have been Matthew's partner (possibly Catharine Dunant), and his future grandchildren. As there was some confusion regarding the validity of this amendment, Thomas Mudge and James Bullock, a Holborn clockmaker and long-time friend, both appeared in person to swear to the amendment's validity. Matthew and Thomas entered into partnership together, operating out of the 148 Fleet Street premises. Oddly, the 1794 entry lists 'M. & J. Dutton, watchmakers' working out of this address. It is possible this was a misprint for 'T'. Matthew and Katherine would have at least four children; Louisa, Catherine, Matthew, and Jane. Of these, only one would go on to be a horologist; Matthew, who was apprenticed to his father in 1799.In 1802, two years after Matthew (Sr.) had been made Master of the Clockmaker's Company, the partnership between Matthew and Thomas was mutually dissolved, with notice given that Matthew Dutton would be continuing the 148 Fleet Street business alone. It is not known what happened to Thomas; he isn't listed as a horologist in any trade directory for London, Plymouth, or Buckinghamshire after the dissolution. It has been suggested that he married Sarah Kingdom in 1794, and that one of their children, Thomas (Jr.), became a Captain with the Royal Navy and eventually emigrated to Tasmania. However, this has not been independently confirmed, and still doesn't clarify what Thomas (Sr.) was doing after 1802..For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Greene (Graham) Loser Takes All, first edition, signed presentation inscription from the author "For Eddie - this complete abortion, but I'm so tired of Good + Evil. with love, Graham, Jan 30 1955" on front free endpaper, lightly spotted, manuscript correction in later hand to p.81, original cloth, spine and top edge lightly faded, dust-jacket, one short closed tear to upper panel tail repaired with tape verso, otherwise a very sharp and bright copy, [Wobbe A34], 8vo, 1955.⁂ An intriguing inscription to Edward Sackville-West, referencing Greene's first published departure from his usual moralist themes to an experiment with comedy. Though Greene and Sackville-West missed each other at Oxford, their literary careers overlapped from the mid-20s, and both converted to Catholicism. Sackville-West was one of very few whose literary opinion Greene respected. Loser Takes All is thus "an attempt to link comedy (especially satire, parody and burlesque) to the religious thriller" - Wobbe p.102.
