An important mid 18th century French ormolu-mounted kingwood and rosewood centre seconds longcase clock of one month duration, with equation of time, time of sunrise and sunset, phases and age of the moon, calendar, sign of the zodiac and temperature compensated pendulumJulien Le Roy, Paris. The case stamped A. Dubois. The case with waisted hood over a shaped trunk with ormolu-mounted shaped glazed lenticle, on a tapering base and plinth with outswept feet, mounted with elaborate foliate scrolls to the front and rear edges, with boldly cast bands of acanthus and other motifs between the case sections. Stamped on the inside top sill of the base by the case maker A. Dubois. The 11 inch circular dial signed across the centre, Julien Le Roy with silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring, the half-hours marked by meeting-arrowheads, with outer minute band and inner quarter hour band, set with twin chamfered apertures - between VII and VIII the time of sunrise is automatically shown, the time of sunset is shown between IIII and V. The gilt and engraved dial centre is decorated with an engraved trellis pattern and three shaped apertures: the top shows the age and phase of the moon, the rolling silvered moon and stars showing against a painted background; the central aperture gives the date and number of days in the month, and the lowermost aperture depicts the changing signs of the zodiac as the year progresses. The full annual calendar is engraved on an 8.5 inch silvered dial set just below the main dial and is connected at the rear to a brass kidney which dictates the equation of time information. The time is shown via two elaborately pierced and engraved silvered hands. A blued steel hand with engraved sun at its tip gives solar time, another with counterbalanced end shows running seconds. The weight driven movement united by five tapering pillars pinned through the backplate. The going train of five-wheels with high-count pinions terminating in a pin-wheel escapement. The movement is topped with a heavy steel horizontal plate connected at the right hand side to a pair of substantial vertical steel rods running down into the body of the clock and flanking a movable brass cylindrical rod (with fine screw adjustment at its base); the pendulum is suspended from a pivoted horizontal steel arm which is in contact with the tip of the cylindrical brass rod at one end, and with a sprung arbor connected to the thermometer hand by a silk thread at the other. The bases of the steel and brass rods are set on a shaped brass piece running across the inside of the trunk which in turn also carries an arbor for the thermometer hand mounted in the front door. As the ambient temperature changes, the steel and brass set-up automatically raises or lowers the pendulum, while at the same time shows the temperature on the silvered thermometer dial set into the trunk. The strike train with an outside countwheel and sounding on a bell via a horizontal steel hammer set on a vertical arbor, its speed dictated by a shaped brass fly. 55cm wide x 31cm deep x 218cm high, (21 1/2in wide x 12in deep x 85 1/2in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceGalerie Neuse, Bremen, 1995. Julien Le Roy (1686-1759) was regarded by his contemporaries as perhaps the most influential horologist of his era. He was a superb craftsman as well as a scholar who contributed the section on horology to the Encyclopédie. He was eulogized by Voltaire as the man responsible for the 18th century pre-eminence of French clock making.Born in Tours and trained by his father, Le Roy arrived in Paris around 1700. He is generally thought to have served as journeyman to the Parisian horologist, Charles Le Bon. Le Roy received his freedom in 1713 and, shortly after, set up a workshop in the Rue de Harlay, off La Place Dauphine, where the most eminent 18th century Parisian clockmakers also worked. In 1717 he presented an equation clock to the Royal Academy of Sciences, which showed the true time, the place of the sun and its declination. In 1739, Julien Le Roy was appointed valet de chambre, horologer du Roi, and granted premises in the Louvre, which he maintained in addition to his atelier in the rue de Harlay. Le Roy's son Pierre (1717-1785) succeeded his father and devoted the latter part of his career to the Longitude problem and the development of marine timekeepers.Adrien Dubois is recorded as having worked in rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, first as the foreman in the important workshop founded by Bernard Van Risenburgh I, maître before 1722, (better known by his stamp BVRB). The father and grandfather of Bernard II and III, Bernard I specialised in making clock cases. Adrien Dubois lived with Bernard and his family above the workshop, and when Bernard died in 1738 the probate inventory listed a very large number of both finished and un-finished clocks, clock cases, pedestals and clock brackets, many of which would have been made by Dubois. Three years after his master's death Adrien finally received the accolade of maître ébéniste. As well as clock cases, Dubois and his family were famed for restorations and adaptations of earlier 'boulle-work'. A console table believed to be partly from the workshop of André-Charles Boulle can be seen in the Victoria & Albert Museum, accession number: 1021:1 to 3-1882.Another case stamped 'A.DUBOIS' was sold at Sotheby's, New York, Property from a Distinguished American Collection, 2 February 2019, lot 763.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP Y* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Together with a delicate silk suspension pendulum. 32cm wide x 18cm deep x 49cm high, (12 1/2in wide x 7in deep x 19in high)Footnotes:Provenance The Collection of Mcihael Cory-Wright, Esq;Christies, London, 11 June 1998;Gilbert de Vries, Horlogerie de Collection Ancienne et Contemporaine, Paris, November 1998. ExhibitedTEFAF, Basel and sold with accompanying paperwork including a Certificate of Cultural Property dated December 1998 and instructions. Etienne Lenoir (also spelled Le Noir) was born in Paris in 1660 to a horological family. His father, Simon, was a horologist, and Etienne's grandfather, Jean (or Jehan) was Horloger du Roi in 1552. Etienne, perhaps unsurprisingly therefore also became a horologist, though the details of his apprenticeship are unclear. It is likely however, that he was apprenticed to his father. He married Marie-Anne Gamonet in 1696 and they had two children, Pierre-Etienne, born in 1698, and Etienne, born a year later. Etienne senior was known to have made turret clocks, as well as making a varied output of gold and silver watches, marquetry clocks, and bronze figural mantel clocks, among others. He died in 1739.Etienne Junior would become a horologist as well; he married in 1717 and was recorded working out of Goldsmiths' Quay in 1743 and was still recorded as late as 1778. His son, also named Pierre-Etienne and born in 1724, was an accomplished horologist and worked with his father in Goldsmiths' Quay. It appears that Pierre joined his father in business around 1743, shortly after Pierre's marriage that year. Unfortunately, both father and son signed their work 'Etienne Le Noir' which makes distinguishing the work quite difficult. Their workshop was known simply as 'Le Noir' and it would continue trading until 1820. Pierre-Etienne has been recorded as late as 1791, but it is unclear when he or his father died. The Lenoir dynasty was associated for generations with quality and extravagance and included everything from an elaborate bronze elephant automaton clock to a delicate gold repeater pocket watch.Tardy, Dictionnaire des Horlogers Français, 127th edition, Aubenas: Lienhart et Cie, 1972.An identical clock case by Robert Osmond, minus the foliate scrolling to the base is illustrated in H.
