The Hans Schifferle Collection 1954 FB Mondial 200cc SportRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 3240Engine no. 3240Few marques have achieved so fine a competition record in so short a time as FB Mondial, whose period at the pinnacle of Grand Prix racing encompassed the years 1949-51 plus a gloriously successful comeback in 1957. Mondial was founded in the aftermath of WW2 by the Boselli family, whose first venture into powered transport had been with the F B (Fratelli Boselli) three-wheeled delivery van in the 1930s. The name 'Mondial' first appeared on a motorcycle in 1948 when the Bosellis introduced a revolutionary double-overhead-camshaft 125cc racer. Mondial's miniature masterpiece duly brought the Bologna manufacturer its first World Championship the following year and proved equally dominant in 1950 and '51. After a relatively lean spell, Mondial returned to Grand Prix glory in 1957, taking both the 125cc and 250cc World Championships. Not surprisingly, Mondial's passion for racing rubbed off on its road range, which was exquisitely engineered and beautifully constructed in a manner unmistakably Italian. This 200cc Sport was restored by Helmut Lichtenberg (circa €3,500 spent on paintwork alone) with some work done by Fritz Egli. The machine was purchased circa 2003 from a Mr Bruno Ciacci (believed from Imola). The frame is additionally stamped 'M2440' and the engine is additionally stamped '3186'. Beautifully presented, having covered only 743 kilometres since restoration, the machine is offered with a German Fahrzeugbrief and expired TüV (MoT) certificate/correspondence.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1973 MV Agusta 750GTRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. MV4C75*2140321*Engine no. 214-0262•Rare MV model•Believed restored by Kay Engineering•Only 1,811 kilometres since restoration•Regularly exercised until eight months agoDeveloped from MV Agusta's long line of successful multi-cylinder racers, the Italian company's first road-going four - the 4C, a twin-carburettor, 600cc, shaft-driven tourer - appeared in 1965. But the public demanded something more exciting from MV, and the Gallarate marque duly obliged in 1968, upping capacity to 743cc and further boosting maximum power (to 65bhp) by fitting a quartet of Dell'Orto carburettors to the revised and more sporting 750S. Perhaps surprisingly for a sports model, the 750S retained the 4C's shaft final drive while the frame too was virtually identical to that of its predecessor.It was followed a few years later by the 750GT (Gran Turismo) which, as its name suggests, was intended for touring. In keeping with the latter role the 750GT featured a dual seat, conventional handlebars and forward-mounted footrests in place of the single seat, clip-on 'bars and rear-set footrests of the 750S. Curiously though, it also gained a higher compression ratio and lower overall gearing - both surprising features given its intended purpose. Other noteworthy features included a slab-sided fuel tank, fork gaiters, front 'crash' bars, and a distinctive white and bronze colour scheme. Predictably, anyone sufficiently wealthy to buy a four-cylinder MV opted for the more stylish sports version, with the result that only 50 750GTs found customers. Although relatively unpopular in its day, the ultra-rare 750GT is now one of the most sought-after of MV roadsters. This 750GT was purchased restored from a Turin-based collector circa 2005 (together with the 1941 Indian Four in the collection). Hans was advised that marque specialists Kay Engineering had restored the machine, which has covered only 1,811 kilometres since the rebuild. Wonderfully presented, it must be one of very few remaining 750GTs that has not been modified or converted into a special. Hans Schifferle rode the MV for approximately 100 kilometres annually until approximately eight months ago. The machine is offered with German Fahrzeugschein and Fahrzeugbrief (de-registered); expired TüV (MoT) certificate; and assorted correspondence.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low RateImport tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.N (NOVA): This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1965 AJS 497cc Model 18Registration no. not registeredFrame no. A87489 and 026010Engine no. 18 135074Associated Motor Cycles announced its post-war range of AJS and Matchless heavyweight singles in June 1945. Housed in a rigid frame with Teledraulic front fork, the rugged overhead-valve engine drove via a four-speed gearbox. Hairpin valve springs were adopted for 1949 and a swinging-arm frame introduced, models so-equipped being suffixed 'S'. Major changes to the engine were the big news for 1958, a switch from dynamo to alternator electrics necessitating the adoption of a cast-alloy primary chaincase. Battery/coil ignition arrived at the same time, so the distinctive magneto drive cover was deleted, and the timing gears contained within a smaller case. These revised models were also distinguished by shorter shock absorbers and chromed wheel centres. The next major revisions arrived on the 1964 range, which featured Norton hubs/brakes and Roadholder forks together with short-stroke (85.5mm) engines. Pushrod tunnels were made integral with the cylinder and the bottom-end bearing arrangements improved, resulting in a less leak-prone and more reliable engine. This AJS Model 18 was purchased from the Netherlands circa 2007 and restored by Helmut Lichtenberger. Items renewed included the wheel rims and spokes, and the machine was fitted with an after-market stand. Only 520 kilometres have been covered since the restoration. Very nicely presented, the machine is offered with a German Fahrzeugschein; an old South African registration document; and an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low RateImport tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.N (NOVA): This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1974 Ducati 750SSRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. DM750SS *075105Engine no. 075122 DM750.1•Landmark Ducati model•Correct numbers and stamps•An older restoration•Owned by Hans Schifferle since 2002It was, without question, Paul Smart's famous victory at Imola in April 1972 that really put Ducati's new v-twin on the map. It was a particularly sweet occasion for hitherto un-fancied Ducati, as the Bologna factory defeated not only the race-proven Triumph Tridents of Percy Tait, John Cooper and Ray Pickrell, but also the works 750 MV Agusta of Giacomo Agostini. With such an outstanding pedigree, the 750SS was a natural choice for racing's Superbike category, and later on proved highly competitive in AMA 'Battle of the Twins' (BOTT) and club Super Street racing in the 1980s. Smart's bike was based on the 750 Sport roadster introduced that same year. The racer's cycle parts remained close to stock - even the centre stand lugs were retained! - merely being up-rated with triple Lockheed disc brakes while the engine gained desmodromic cylinder heads, high-compression pistons and stronger con-rods. When the definitive production version - the 750SS - appeared in 1974 it differed little in overall conception from the Imola '72 bikes, among the most obvious external differences being the adoption of a centre-axle fork and Brembo front brakes. The big 'Imola' fuel tank and humped racing seat both featured on the road bike, which wore a cockpit faring rather than the racer's fuller streamlining. The 750SS received rave reviews in the motorcycling press, being hailed by Cycle magazine as 'a bike that stands at the farthest reaches of the sporting world - the definitive factory-built café racer'. Today the 750SS is regarded as a true landmark model and is one of the most sought-after of all Ducatis. A letter on file from Helmut Lichtenberg states that Hans Schifferle bought this Ducati 750SS in June 2002 from the Turin-based collector, Genni Carelli. It is believed that the machine had been restored by Mario Sassi (see tank sticker). The motorcycle was sent directly from Italy to the Schmid car dealership in Höhenkirchen, Germany where Herr Lichtenberg was responsible for the motorcycle department. He inspected the Ducati thoroughly on behalf of Mr Schifferle, recommissioned it and prepared it for the German TüV (MoT equivalent). The original wheels including the rims, spokes and wheel bearings were found to be in excellent condition. New rim tape was fitted together with new Pirelli tyres and inner-tubes. The motorcycle passed the TüV without problems and was registered in Germany on 14th May 2003, since when it has been rarely and carefully used. Only 3,670 kilometres have been covered since restoration. Helmut Lichtenberg stated that in 2010 the Ducati was in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition (see aforementioned letter on file).Marque specialist Ian Falloon has confirmed that he knows this 750SS and that there is no problem regarding its provenance and authenticity. The numbers and stamps are correct, and the machine is recorded in his registry. Both rare and highly desirable, this iconic Ducati is offered with a 1974 Ducati 750cc spare parts catalogue; German Fahrseugschein and Fahrzeugbrief (de-registered); expired TüV certificate; assorted correspondence; and the aforementioned letter from Helmut Lichtenberg.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1955 CM Francolino 175Registration no. not registeredFrame no. CM583Engine no. CM175 583CM was founded in Bologna in 1930 by rider/engineers Oreste Drusiani (whose son Alfonso would later find fame with Mondial) and Mario Cavedagna. Powered by overhead-valve and overhead-camshaft engines of various capacities up to 500cc, CM's motorcycles soon gained a reputation for both indestructibility and speed, its 'cammy' 350 ridden successfully by Guglielmo Sandri in the mid-1930s being particularly noteworthy. The company kept faith with the four-stroke engine in the immediately post-war years and then in 1949 introduced the first of a range of two-strokes, the ultimate expression of which was a 250cc twin. But the company was not yet done with four-stroke models, launching the overhead-cam Francolino 175 sports roadster in 1956. Belatedly climbing aboard the scooter bandwagon in 1958, the firm had ceased production by the decade's end. This CM Francolino had already been restored when it was purchased in September 2006 (it is believed the rebuild included the engine but this cannot be known for certain). An ASI sticker to the rear suggests the CM was purchased from Italy. Only 136 kilometres have been covered since the restoration and the machine is very nicely presented. Accompanying documentation consists of a German Fahrzeugbrief and an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 2001 Moto Guzzi 1,064cc California EVRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. ZGUK2KDYM115706Engine no. 020478'An Italian with real history – the Moto Guzzi California 1100EV hasn't changed hugely since the 850cc version of 1972. But it's still a machine well worth considering. The California 1100EV is a cruiser/tourer that actually handles.' – Motor Cycle News.An engine design that originated in the early post-war years, Moto Guzzi's venerable 90-degree v-twin is still around today, albeit much modified and updated, powering the company's latest generation of superbikes, tourers and cruisers. Guzzi's take on the latter first appeared in the mid-1970s in the form of the 850 T3 California. The styling was unashamedly American inspired: fat 'buddy' seat, cow-horn 'bars, king-size mudguards, foot boards, panniers, screen and lashings of chrome, all of which conspired to make it look like Italy's answer to the Harley-Davidson Electra Glide. The design has changed in detail over the years, the engine growing to 1,064cc and the cycle parts being upgraded with the latest kit, but the concept remains unchanged. 'This isn't some faceless Japanese pretend cruiser, but an original,' as Bike magazine observed in 1998. This Moto Guzzi California was purchased new 15th May 2001 (for long distance touring) from Motorradsport Schmid, costing 21.700 DM before extras. Currently displaying a total of 4,747 kilometres on the odometer, the machine is offered with a 2012 servicing invoice; German Fahrzeugschein; expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; and an owner's manual.Footnotes:Ω Import VAT High RateImport tax at the higher rate of 20% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1956 Harley-Davidson 55ci Model KHRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. M709861701RMEngine no. 56KH2378•Harley-Davidson's last 'flat head' model•Purchased circa 2017•3,178 miles since restorationIntroduced in 1952, the 45ci (750cc) Model K effectively replaced the long-running WL that had done such sterling work during WW2 as the WLD. The Model K would turn out to be Harley's final 'flat head'. Almost a complete break with the past, the K adopted many ideas from Europe: unitary construction of engine/transmission; swinging-arm rear suspension; and foot operated gear change and hand clutch, but despite better handling than its similar-sized predecessor, proved little faster. Not so the racing KR that it inspired. Harley-Davidson had not won the prestigious Daytona Beach race since WW2, so the KR's winning debut there in 1953 was greeted with intense relief back in Milwaukee. BSA struck back the following year, but for the next seven events it would be a Harley in the winner's circle. In 1953, five AMA Class C flat track national events were won, and in 1954 KR racers won 13 of 18 races. On flat tracks the KR raced with a rigid rear end, retaining the swinging arm for circuit races such as the Daytona 200. The Model K roadster continued in the line-up until the end of 1956, from 1954 onwards as the heavily revised and much improved 55ci (900cc) KH. For the latter, almost every engine component was upgraded; the crankcase strengthened; the clutch beefed up; and the frame modified for better handling. Although the KH street bike lasted for only a couple of years, the racer ran on successfully well into the 1960s; indeed, its final Daytona victory in 1969 was the KR's 12th at the Florida track. The KH was one of the many Harley-Davidsons model types owned by Elvis Presley. Beautifully presented in Ocean Blue, this KH was purchased circa 2017 from a Turin-based collector and has covered only 3,178 miles since restoration. KHs commonly have wet-sumping problems but this example is said to have been configured correctly. Accompanying documentation consists of German registration papers; old ASI papers; expired TüV (MoT) certificate; and assorted correspondence.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1970 BSA 750cc Rocket IIIRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. PC00584 A75REngine no. PC00384 A75R•Purchased circa 2002•Substantially restored (mostly mechanically)•1,156 miles since the restorationEssentially a 'Tiger-and-a-half', the Triumph and BSA 750cc Triples were launched in the UK in 1969. Differences between the Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket III were more than just cosmetic: the two models used different frames and in BSA guise the motor's cylinder block was slightly inclined. BSA-Triumph had learned a lot about engine development from racing the 500 twins, and the Triples were the most powerful machines in their class. This BSA Rocket III was purchased circa 2002 from Atlantic Motorcycles in the UK and comes with a Certificate of Export. The machine required substantial restoration (mostly mechanical) and Helmut Lichtenberg set about rebuilding it. However, he could not get the engine to idle properly on its original carburettors, and so fitted a set of new Amal carburettors sourced from Egli (receipt on file). The machine has run well since. It was exercised annually until approximately eight months ago and has covered only 1,156 miles since the restoration.Accompanying documentation includes a German Fahrzeugschein; expired TüV (MoT) certificates; the 2002 purchase receipt; and assorted correspondence. It should be noted that the frame and engine numbers slightly differ: ('5' vs '3'). Prospective bidders must satisfy themselves regarding the reasons for this apparent discrepancy prior to bidding.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1958 Ducati 175 SportRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 78207Engine no. 78234Designed by Fabio Taglioni, the first Ducati overhead-camshaft single - the 100 Gran Sport - appeared on the racetrack in 1954 and soon proved unbeatable in its class. Taglioni's versatile design proved capable of considerable enlargement, being produced in various capacities from the original 98cc up to 450cc. The 175cc class was popular in Continental Europe and Ducati's first offerings in that category appeared towards the end of the 1950s. A pair of 175cc roadsters was introduced for the 1956 season, the Sport version of which (known as the 'Silverstone' in the UK) was capable of more than 80mph in road trim and close to the 'ton' when stripped for racing, an astonishing achievement at the time and one that helped establish the giant-killing reputation long enjoyed by Ducati's miniature masterpieces. Manufactured for only a few seasons, these 175cc roadsters are today quite rare. An older restoration, believed acquired circa 2002, this Ducati 175 Sport was purchased 'as is' and has never been run while in Hans' ownership. Borrani wheel rims and a Silentium silencer are notable features. A total of 23,185 kilometres is diplayed on the odometer. The machine is offered with a German Fahrzeugschein; an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; and photocopy Italian registration papers.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1954 Puch SV 175Registration no. not registeredFrame no. 1300380Engine no. 1535709The motorcycle part of the Austrian Steyr-Daimler-Puch combine, Puch introduced its first motorcycle in the early 1900s, amalgamated with Daimler in 1928 and then Steyr in 1934. Puch also built cars, commercial vehicles, and railway locomotives in its early years but these days the firm is best remembered for its pioneering Doppelkolben (twin-piston) 'split-single' two-stroke motorcycles, the first of which was developed during the 1920s. Designed by an Italian engineer, Giovanni Marcellino, this unusual engine used two pistons on a two-piece (master/slave) connecting rod, the cylinders sharing a common combustion chamber. The chief advantage of this arrangement was asymmetrical port timing, resulting in improved economy, steadier idling, and greater torque at the expense of greater complication and weight. Four-stroke models were catalogued during the 1930s but after WW2 Puch built two-strokes only, commencing with split-singles in 125, 150, 175 and 250cc capacities, and the range remained in production well into the 1960s. This Puch SV 175 was Hans Schifferle's preferred 'go-to' bike because it was always easy to start. Purchased circa 1995, the machine was rebuilt by Helmut Lichtenberger and is very nicely presented, having covered only 1,651km since restoration. Some detailing would improve it still further. Accompanying documentation consists of a German Fahrzeugschein; an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; and a Puch owner's manual.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low RateImport tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.N (NOVA): This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1975 Benelli 500 QuattroRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. BI 2111Engine no. BI 002421Revitalised after its takeover in 1971 by Argentine industrialist Alejandro de Tomaso, Benelli launched a range of new six- and four-cylinder sports bikes. First of these Honda-inspired machines was the 500 Quattro of 1974, which despite its Oriental-looking power unit was thoroughly Italian in all other respects, boasting a rigid cradle frame, powerful Grimeca drum brakes and alloy wheel rims. The front drum had been replaced by Brembo discs and the model name changed to '504 Sport' by 1979: The fact that importers Agrati Sales sold so few in the UK was entirely down to the price: at £1,636 the Benelli was a massive 33% more expensive than Kawasaki's Z500!Purchased in Rimini in 2006, this Benelli 500 Quattro displays a total of 7,570 kilometres on the odometer, though it is not known whether this is from new or since restoration. The machine has been repainted but the plastics, including the rear shock shrouds, are untouched. The restoration took over three years to complete due to delays in finding engine parts and a replacement exhaust system – remember Hans refused to source components via the internet! The machine is offered with a copy maintenance manual, German Fahrzeugschein; expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; and photocopy Italian registration documents.

1973 Triumph 740cc T150 TridentRegistration no. not UK registeredFrame no. T150V GH05804Engine no. T150T EE00980First registered on 29th July 1974, this Triumph Trident was purchased by the vendor in 1982 in Milan, Italy. When purchased the machine had already been fitted with a 1972 four-speed engine and was in café racer guise complete with a 3-into-1 exhaust. In the late 1980s the owner decided to transform the Trident into a more comfortable mount, fitting a stock seat, a Menani flat handlebar, and Menani footrests. Other noteworthy features include Boyer electronic ignition; Marzocchi front forks; Scarab twin front disc brakes; Borrani alloy wheel rims; and an upswept 'Ray Gun' exhaust system. We are advised by the vendor that the engine has been overhauled by Roberto Pasqualotto, who was trained by renowned marque specialist the late Les Williams (see recent bill on file). The vendor describes the Triumph in his opinion as: 'It is very fast and impressively stable on the road.' Following a period of inactivity, the machine may require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus sold strictly as viewed. The machine comes with an alternative pair of silencers, a pair of clip-on handlebars, and a solo seat moulding, and is offered with Italian registration papers.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low Rate: Import tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1957 Moto Morini 175 Super SportRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. S15921Engine no. S15921Moto Morini founder Alfonso Morini split from MM in 1937 setting up a foundry in Bologna. Post-WW2 he returned to motorcycle manufacture, commencing with a 125cc two-stroke and then a similar-sized SOHC four-stroke single. The company was active in racing right from the start and won the Italian national 125 championship in 1949. Something more sophisticated was required for the World Championships however, a new DOHC design being introduced for 1952. 175cc and 250cc twin-cam racers followed, but although the firm did achieve a few successes in Grands Prix, it lacked the resources for a sustained attack on the Championship. Although never a Grand Prix category, the 175cc class was an important one in Continental Europe and for this Moto Morini offered the Rebello DOHC racer alongside its simpler road models such as the 175 Super Sport offered here. The machine was purchased in 2005 from a Turin-based collector and restored by Helmut Lichtenberg, who together with Hans visited countless autojumbles to source suitable parts including the correct type 'black spokes'. (Remember, Hans refused to use the internet!) Only 303 kilometres have been covered since the restoration. The machine is said to smoke a little (like a two-stroke) but ran well when last used and is easily capable of 130km/h (80mph). Accompanying documentation consists of a German Fahrzeugbrief and an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low RateImport tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.N (NOVA): This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1969 MV Agusta 592cc 4C TourerRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. MV4C6*199 0127Engine no. 199-045•One of 135 made•Already restored when purchased in 2019•191 kilometres since restoration'By building a version of his fabulous dohc racing four engine into a touring frame, Count Agusta has created a unique, weird and wonderful collector's dream.' - Cycle magazine. Developed from MV Agusta's long line of successful multi-cylinder racers, the first road-going four - a twin-carburettor, 592cc tourer - appeared in 1965 at the Milan Show. With its touring cycle parts, shaft drive, and unappealing styling - more Japanese than European - the new MV 4C was not what enthusiasts expected from a marque with its roots deep in motorcycle racing. Nevertheless, MV's ugly duckling was an advanced design for its day, boasting an electric starter and twin front disc brakes, the latter a mechanical design by Campagnolo. And there was no denying that its engine looked gorgeous. As Mick Walker remarks in his book ('MV Agusta Fours'): 'Instantly recognisable as associated with its GP brothers, it was in many ways almost worth putting up with the look of the motorcycle just to have that legendary engine in your garage.'Production proper commenced in the summer of 1967, with the price in the USA set at $2,889. (When it went on sale a year or so later, Honda's 750cc four cost less than $1,500). Not surprisingly, customers were few, and only 135 examples of MV's first four-cylinder roadster had found customers before production ceased a few years later. Bowing to public demand for something more exciting from MV, the Gallarate marque duly obliged in 1969, upping capacity to 743cc and further boosting maximum power by fitting a quartet of Dell'Orto carburettors to the revised 750GT tourer and sporting 750S. First registered on 8th January 1969 in Palermo, Italy, this original example of one of MV's rarest roadsters had already been restored when purchased in 2019 from a Turin-based collector, who had purchased it in 2009. The MV has covered only 191 kilometres since restoration and is presented in very nice condition. Accompanying documentation consists of a German Fahrzeugbrief; the 2019 purchase receipt; an expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; an old Italian registration document; and an MV4C6 spare parts catalogue and range literature.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low RateImport tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.N (NOVA): This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

1974 Laverda 981cc 3CRegistration no. not UK registeredFrame no. LAV.1000\1*1692*Engine no. 1000*1692*Introduced in 1972, the '3C' was the first of Laverda's much admired family of classic three-cylinder 'muscle bikes' that would do so much to establish its reputation as one of Italy's foremost purveyors of high-performance motorcycles. Displacing 981cc, the new engine had a character all its own. No longer conceived along Honda lines like its twin-cylinder predecessors, Laverda's triple was a twin-overhead-camshaft design with 180-degree 'flat' crankshaft. Following the introduction of the Slater Brothers-inspired Jota super sports version, the 3C continued as the 3CL sports-tourer, with the 80bhp engine and 125mph capability. Although slightly slower than the Jota, the less highly-stressed 3C/3CL is considered by many Laverda aficionados to be the more enjoyable machine to ride.This Laverda 3C was last run in 2016 and will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. The machine comes with Italian ASI 'Gold Plate' and FMI 'Gold Plate' documents. It also comes with copies of its Italian registration papers (the original registration papers and numberplates have been retained as required by the Italian authorities). An exciting opportunity to acquire a rarely seen Italian classic that can only become increasingly collectible.Footnotes:* Import VAT Low Rate: Import tax at the reduced rate of 5% of the Hammer Price and Buyers Premium will apply should the lot remain in the UK.This lot is subject to a fee of £125 + VAT payable by the Buyer, to undertake the relevant NOVA and C88 (Customs) clearance applications.

The Hans Schifferle Collection 1971 BSA 750cc Rocket IIIRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. to be advised (see text)Engine no. A75R HI 00943Essentially a 'Tiger-and-a-half', the Triumph and BSA 750cc Triples were launched in the UK in 1969. Differences between the Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket III were more than just cosmetic: the two models used different frames and in BSA guise the motor's cylinder block was slightly inclined. BSA-Triumph had learned a lot about engine development from racing the 500 twins, and the Triples were the most powerful machines in their class; indeed, the UK's Bike magazine wound their road test Rocket III up to a top speed of 128mph.This beautifully presented BSA Rocket III was purchased from a Dr Thoma, who is believed to have bought the machine at a Stafford show. It has since been rebuilt by Helmut Lichtenberg, and we are advised the cylinder head should be torqued down following its 1,500-mile engine run-in. It should be noted that the frame number is heavily overpainted and does not appear to match the engine or to conform to BSA factory stampings. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the frame number stamping and the machine's authenticity or otherwise prior to bidding. Accompanying documentation consists of a German Fahrzeugschein, expired TüV (MoT) certificates/correspondence; the 2003 purchase receipt; and a TR3OC membership letter.

William Joy (British, 1803-1867) and John Cantiloe Joy (British, 1806-1866)The debarkation of King Louis Philippe at Portsmouth, October 1844watercolour 34 x 54.6cm (13 3/8 x 21 1/2in).Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Estate of Sir Richard Prince-Smith.On the 8th of October 1844, King Louis Philippe of France arrived in Portsmouth aboard the sail-paddle steamer Gomer for an official visit to see Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle. King Louis was greeted by Prince Albert, the Duke of Wellington, and other dignitaries, whilst crowds of people lined the shore to welcome him. Alongside the brothers William and John Joy, several artists documented this momentous event including Turner and Thomas Sewell Robins.The level of detail in the present work is fantastic. The harbour is teeming with boats, packed with passengers eager to welcome the French King. Large numbers of the crowd - even the crew on the yardarms of the British ships - hold out there hats in greeting. The naval ships fire a salute and one can imagine the sound of this combined with the huge cheering crowds. The King himself is visible ascending the steps off his ship towards the British royal standard, presumably denoting the presence of Prince Albert. The work truly highlights the ceremony of an important state visit during this period. A very similar work by William Joy and John Cantiloe Joy is in the collection of the British Embassy in Paris.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

John Cleveley the Elder (Southwark circa 1712-1777 Deptford)The East Indiaman Alfred in three positions off St Helena signed and dated 'J Cleveley Pinx 1772' (lower left)oil on canvas77.5 x 147.3cm (30 1/2 x 58in).Footnotes:The Alfred depicted here was the first of three East Indiamen to bear this name in the Honourable East India Company's fleet. Built in Barnard's Yard at Deptford for George Willson, Esq. and launched on 29th October 1772, her fine lines, elaborate stern carving and impressive armament of 32-guns, including two stern-chasers, were more akin to a Royal Navy frigate than an Indiaman, and she was widely regarded as a particularly handsome vessel. Measured by her builder at 764 tons, she was 110 feet in length with a 36 foot beam and sported a splendid figurehead of the Saxon King Alfred who many of her contemporaries regarded as the 'Father of the English Navy'.On 29th January 1773 she set sail from the Downs anchorage bound for the EIC's enclave at Bencoolen, on the island of Sumatra, via St Helena, under the command of Captain John Lauder. Arriving off St. Helena on 1st May to take on water and fresh provisions, she reached her destination on 30th September, where she loaded cargo for home and was back in the Downs on 4th February 1775. A second voyage to Bencoolen followed from December 1776 to August 1778, after which her next two voyages were both to China but with several intermediate calls. Returning home for the last time on 20th June 1786, after an unusually lengthy voyage lasting over four years, she was then sold for breaking, her relatively short career probably due to storm damage which rendered her no longer fit for service.Owned throughout her life by Mr. George Willson, it is likely that he commissioned this portrait the Alfred to commemorate her completion and what would be her first port of call at St. Helena the following year.The island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic was discovered by the Portuguese on St. Helena's Day, 21st May 1502. Afterwards held by the Dutch, the British East India Company briefly settled there in 1651 and even though the island changed hands again during the Anglo-Dutch Wars in the middle of the century, it had reverted to the British Crown by 1673 when, on 12th December that year, Charles II granted it to the East India Company for use as a port of call for their homebound ships. In 1684, the Company instructed Captain Knox to go to Madagascar to 'procure Negrosse (sic) to bring to St. Helena for the Company's Service thare (sic)', these slaves being intended for domestic use in the growing settlement of St. James (later Jamestown). The position of the island, especially in comparison with the hostile coasts of west and south-west Africa, was also of great strategic importance on the route to India and ships were often required to transport reinforcements to the garrison there. When, for example, the Suffolk was chartered for this purpose in 1749, it was agreed that her owners were to receive 'for all Soldiers and Passengers carried to ye S[ai]d Island £5 a head' as their fee for the charter.St. Helena's barren appearance when approached from the sea was in marked contrast to the luxuriance of its many deep valleys, the town and anchorage for the Company's ships being situated below St. James's valley at the northern end of the leeward side of the island. Apart from drinking water and the obvious shelter from the weather, the island regularly supplied ships with beef and lemons (to combat scurvy) whilst in return, the Company provided St. Helena with grain which would not grow there.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A FINE AND RARE GEORGE III RED JAPANNED MUSICAL TABLE CLOCK MADE FOR THE MIDDLE-EASTERN MARKETRecordon, Spencer and Perkins, London, circa 1780The substantial six pillar triple fusee bell-striking movement with plates measuring 8.5 by 6.75 inches, verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum and playing a choice of four tunes after the hour on a graduated nest eight-bells via a transversely planted 3 inch pinned cylinder, the backplate engraved with delicate scrolling foliage around a central motif of crescent raised on a pedestal, the 8 inch brass break-arch dial with recessed shaped signature plate engraved Recordon, Spencer & Perkins. LONDON to the centre incorporating unusual raised polychrome and gilt painted flowering foliage infill within applied engraved 'Turkish' numeral chapter ring with conforming five minute annotations to outer track, with scroll-pierced steel hands and conforming painted flowering foliate infill to spandrels continuing up into the arch to envelop the subsidiary STRIKE/NOT STRIKE and MINUET/COTILLION/JIGG/GAVOT selection dials, the case with bell-shaped superstructure gilt decorated with vases and baskets of flowers onto a red ground flanked by acanthus sprays to angles, over double cavetto top mouldings and hinged glazed front door further painted with floral sprays and gilt ground panels to frame and spandrel panels flanked by conforming canted angles, the sides with generous hinged brass handles over concave-topped rectangular windows within further line-edged foliate panel decorated surround, the rear matching the front but without canted angles, on complex moulded skirt base incorporating scroll painted shaped aprons over acanthus cast brass scroll feet. 54cm (21.25ins) high, 40cm (15.75ins) wide, 24.5cm (9.75ins) deep. Louis Recordon is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Soho, London 1778-1824. Although Baillie asserts that he 'retired' in 1796 it is most probable that he had significant involvement up until 1824. Online records allow us to add that he was Swiss born, his workshop was in Greek Street, Soho and that he was the London agent for Abraham-Louis Breguet. In 1805 Recordon took over the workshop from the watchmaker Josiah Emery, one of the first to use the lever escapement after Thomas Mudge, hence many of his watches and clocks are signed 'Recordon late Emery'. Louis Recordon appeared to specialise in musical clocks (often for export), fine watches and was known to have devised a form of pedometer. The Recordon business was succeeded by Des Granges in 1824.The Partnership between John Spencer and Perkins (probably William) is recorded by Baillie as working from Snow Hill, London 1765-1806. Any association between the workshop of Spencer and Perkins and Louis Recordon appears to have not been formerly recorded hence it was most likely a relatively informal 'trading arrangement'. Indeed it was not unusual for such arrangements to exist especially amongst makers who often supplied clocks for the middle-eastern market, such as Markwick Markham, Henry Borrell and the Rimbault family as well as Recordon. The current lot has survived in remarkably original condition and exhibits many features typical of examples destined for sale to a middle-eastern client. These include the lack of any form of figural decoration, 'Turkish' numeral chapter ring, crescent motif to backplate and strong focus on floral designs (most notably to the dial). Condition Report: The movement is in good original condition with no evidence of alteration or noticeable significant replacements. The steelwork (wheel arbors) exhibits historic pitting indicating at some point the mechanism had surface rust. The escapement appears original and the clock is running, striking and playing music although the latter is a little lazy to start suggesting that a gentle clean/service is required. The bell-hammer rods and hammers for the musical train are replacements. The relief-painted floral decoration to the dial has losses and wear to the centre around each winding hole and has historic touching-in to spandrel areas and to the centres of each of the subsidiary dials in the arch. The chapter ring, subsidiaries and signature plate are no longer silvered but retain good strong engraving. The case is generally in fine original condition. The quadrant panel inserts flanking the arches of both the front and rear doors would have originally been fretwork and have been replaced with panels painted with floral sprays to match the rest of the case. Otherwise all other elements appear original and the surface decoration has survived in remarkably good condition with only minor age related wear, very slight repairs/touching in and flaking in places.Clock is complete with two case keys and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM POSTED THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT WITH TEN-INCH DIALWilliam Speakman, London, circa 1695The countwheel bell-striking two-handed movement with Huygens's endless winding, anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum and column-turned corner posts, the 10 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track and signed Etherington, London to lower margin, with scroll-pierced steel hands and winged cherub mask cast spandrels to angles, now in an oak hooded wall case with ogee-moulded shallow-arch pediment over fixed glazed dial aperture and rectangular side windows to hood, the wall bracket with inverted pointed arch-shaped lower edge to the backboard applied with ogee-outline brackets beneath convex throat mouldings, (no pendulum or weights).The case 72cm (28.5ins) high, 35cm (13.75ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep  Provenance: The Estate of Lawrance Hurst. William Speakman is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as apprenticed in 1654 to Peter Closon then Andrew Prime (through Nicholas Tomlins) and gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in September 1661. He initially worked from in Westminster and took in numerous apprentices including three of his sons; Thomas (freed 1685), Edward (freed 1681/2) and William (II) who was entered into his apprenticeship in 1688 but apparently never gained his freedom. In July 1682 he was chosen as a Clockmakers' Company Steward, became an Assistant from 1691, Warden from 1698, served as Master in 1701 and continued attending until his death in 1717.Condition Report: Movement is in original albeit very dirty/neglected condition with heavy patination to the brass and light surface corrosion to the steelwork throughout. The trains appear entirely original including the escape wheel; the pallets may well be 19th century service replacements. The warning locking flag has been repaired and the crutch appears to be a replacement made from bent wire; the hammer has also been repaired and one of the screws for securing the dial to the top plate is missing. The calendar driving wheel is missing. Otherwise movement appears in sound 'untouched' condition although the pinions due exhibit fairly heavy wear mainly to the upper wheels of the strike train. The dial is in dirty but good original condition; the hour hand is a later replacement.The case has some age (most likely early 20th century) but is not contemporary to the movement. The backboard is has noticeable historic worm damage to the upper corners and at the base otherwise case is in sound condition with only minor age related shrinkage and a few bumps, scuffs, blemishes commensurate with age. The surface is dirty/dusty but this adds to a feeling of age and would probably form a good basis for reasonable patina/colour in the hands of a good case restorer/finisher.As catalogued there is no pendulum or weight with the current lot. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY BAYONET-TUBE MERCURY STICK BAROMETER WITH LARGE SCALE THERMOMETERNairne and Blunt, London, circa 1780 The arched-top caddy moulded case inset with glazed hygrometer inscribed DAMP DRY and with beard setting square beneath over concave-topped silvered Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches to the right hand margin opposing weather observations to the left, the upper margin signed Nairne and, Blunt, London and the lower edge decorated with an engraved leafy scroll flanked cavetto-shaped angles, the trunk applied with full-height silvered-scale mercury thermometer calibrated in Fahrenheit with scale divided in degrees annotated 0-120 opposing markers inscribed Freezing, Temperate, Sum'r Heat, Blood Heat and Fever Heat over spiral pierced brass bulb shield and circular base applied with half sphere cistern cover incorporating sleeved level adjustment screw to underside. 108cm (42.5ins) high. The collaboration between Edward Nairne and his former apprentice Thomas Blunt is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as established in 1774 and lasting until 1793. Edward Nairne was born in 1726 and apprenticed to the celebrated instrument maker, Matthew Loft, in 1741. Latterly he worked from 20 Cornhill and published numerous booklets on navigational, pneumatic and astronomical instruments. In 1776 Nairne devised a marine barometer with a restriction to the bore of the mercury tube which served to dampen the oscillation of the mercury, he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1776 and died 1806. Thomas Blunt was apprenticed to Edward Nairne in 1760 with whom he formed a loose partnership in 1774, perhaps for mutual convenience as his premises were next door to Nairne's at 22 Cornhill. Blunt designed some of the components for the 'New Barometer' devised by the Portuguese Scientist J.H. Magellan for measuring altitude, and latterly became instrument maker to George III. In 1793 he took his son, also named Thomas, into partnership and subsequently relocated to 136 Minories in 1814, he died in 1822. A small group of bayonet-tube stick barometers incorporating a large scale thermometer by Nairne and Blunt are known. These include an example in The Whipple Museum, Cambridge (illustrated in Goodison, Nicholas English Barometers 1680-1860 on page 186, Plate 124); another previously in the collection of Edwin Banfield is illustrated in his publication BAROMETERS, Stick or Cistern tube on page 75 and a third was also sold in these rooms on 15th March 2018 (lot 38) for £3,200 hammer. These three differ from the current lot in that they do not have a hygrometer fitted however an example which also includes a hygrometer, hence is very closely comparable with the current lot, was sold at Lyon and Turnbull, Edinburgh, 19th May 2021 in their sale titled Five Centuries: Furniture, Paintings & Works of Art (lot 123) for £4,000.Condition Report: The tube is filled with mercury with no apparent airlocks. The register plates/scales have overall patchy discolouration and tarnishing to the silvering otherwise are in fine original condition with the delicate engraving showing very little wear suggesting that the plates have not been re-silvered many times in the past. The wheat beard to the hygrometer is currently detached otherwise is in good condition with the adjustment mechanism intact and working. The thermometer is in good condition; the brass fittings are however somewhat discoloured/tarnished. The case is in good original condition showing old but relatively flat surface with some wear mainly to the dome of the cistern cover. There is no key present to the hygrometer or level adjustment squares. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A FINE WILLIAM III BRASS MOUNTED EBONY TABLE CLOCKWilliam Jourdain, London, circa 1700The five finned pillar bell striking movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum and inside rack for the hour striking mechanism, the backplate signed W. Jourdain, London to the symmetrical foliate scroll engraved backplate centred with a leafy basket and with herringbone border, the 7 inch square brass dial with canted border shaped false bob aperture further signed W. Jourdain, London to a recessed silvered plate behind and calendar aperture to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with cruciform half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, with pierced steel hands, winged cherub head cast spandrels to angles and N/S strike/silent selection switch at three o`clock, the case with elaborate repousse double basket top surmount with fine twin cherub cast handle to the profile mask medallion scroll centred pierced upper tier, the lower tier with relief panel of St. George slaying the dragon flanked by figural military trophies within a conforming cherub and scroll decorated field and flanked by unusual gilt urn finials with tall baluster spires, the front applied with scroll pierced gilt repousse mounts to the frame of the door, the sides with glazed lozenge apertures over rectangular windows, the rear with rectangular glazed door set within the frame of the case, on complex moulded shallow skirt base with cast claw feet. 42cm (16.5ins) high with handle down, 27cm (10.5ins) wide, 17cm (6.75ins) deep. Provenance: the property of a private collector, north London; purchased at Woolley and Wallis sale of Clocks, Pocket Watches, Barometers & Scientific Instruments 26th October 2010 (lot 138) for £6,500 hammer. The life and work of William Jordain and his successors is recorded in Ponsford, Clive N.THE JOURDAIN FAMILY OF SPITALFIELDS, LONDON, SPECIALISTS IN CHIME AND MUSICAL WORK published in the September 2007 issue of Antiquarian Horology (Vol. XXX number III, pages 381-99). Ponsford notes that William Jourdain was born in Dieppe in around 1665 to David Jourdain a Huguenot. In 1686 the family fled across the channel to escape persecution following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and by 1688 the family had settled in London with William Jourdain being admitted to the congregation of the French Church of Threadneedle Street. William Jourdain married his cousin, Anne Le Sturgeon (with whom he had ten children) in 1695 and set-up business as a clockmaker in Spitalfields. After the death of Anne William Jourdain married his second wife, Suzanne Savoy in 1712 who again he outlived allowing him to marry his third wife Susanne Savoy in 1741. William Jourdain died in 1747 leaving the business to his son of the same name who continued in his father's footsteps until he was admitted to William Sutton's Hospital, near Smithfield in 1778 where he remained until his death in 1782.William Jourdain, like many highly skilled Huguenot immigrant craftsmen, apparently never gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company. However this did not seem to hinder him in his work as surviving examples demonstrate a high quality approach, often incorporating complications such as musical work and highly decorated cases. The highly decorative nature of the case of the current lot reflects Jourdains 'high-style Huguenot' approach and interestingly can be directly compared to an example housing a movement and dial by Langley Bradley which was sold in these rooms on Wednesday 4th December 2013 (lot 173). The engraving to the backplate is well executed and most likely by a fellow Huguenot being perhaps the same individual who executed the backplate for a clock by Simon DeCharmes which is illustrated in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS - Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 on page 245 (Figure 14.3).Condition Report: The movement is in clean working condition. A series of filled holes to the upper left hand margin of the plates suggests that a pull-quarter repeat mechanism was fitted at some time which is no longer present. The escapement wheelwork has either been re-pinioned or replaced and the lower potance is also a replacement however the top potance, backcock and apron would appear to be original hence the escapement appears not to be a reconversion. Indeed the position of the internal rack for the striking mechanism has most likely deterred conversion to anchor escapement in the past. The upper two wheel of the strike train have been re-pinioned otherwise movement appears to be original and in good condition. The dial is in fine clean condition with strong gilding (although it has possibly been regilded at some point). The chapter ring has some very light concentric rubbing to the silvering; the hour hand may be a well-made replacement.The case is generally in good original condition with no visible damage of losses to the 'double-basket' superstructure; the finials also appear free from damage. The front door has sections missing from the repousse mounts to each end of the upper and lower rails. The right hand mount has a small loss to the lower edge and the left hand has three breaks and a small loss. The front door hinges and lock have been replaced and there is a small veneer loss to the lower right hand corner of the dial mask (where the veneer overlaps the dial plate). The rear door retains its original hinges and lock, the veneers exhibit numerous small historic holes indicating that the repousse mounts were also once fitted to the rear door but are now no longer present. The sides are in good condition although there are two small blemishes to the rear of the left hand side from where the pins securing the rear door hinges have pierced the veneers. Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to minor shrinkage and a few other very slight age related blemishes.Clock has a case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer

A QUEEN ANNE POSTED THIRTY-HOUR LONGCASE CLOCK MOVEMENT WITH TEN-INCH DIALUnsigned, probably Lancashire, early 18th centuryThe countwheel bell-striking movement with separately wound trains, anchor escapement for regulation by seconds pendulum and well detailed column-turned corner posts, the 10 inch square brass dial engraved with stylised urn and tulip blooms within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with large sword-hilt half hour markers, with scroll-pierced brass hand and cast figural spandrels emblematic of the four seasons to angles, (no pendulum or weights).33cm (13ins) high, 18cm (7ins) deep overall. The current lot can be directly compared to another unsigned movement and dial housed in an oak case described and illustrated in Darken, Jeff TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 pages 72-73. Of particular note is the very similar dial engraving which is almost certainly executed by the same hand as that of the current lot. Details in both the movements, such as separately wound trains, design of the bell-stand and hammer, and identical pattern of corner post casting would appear to confirm that both the example illustrated by Darken and the current lot originated in the same workshop. The slighter later pattern of spandrel casting present on the current dial would suggest that it probably dates to the early 18th century rather than around 1690 suggested for the other example described by Darken.  

A FINE FRENCH LOUIS XV ORMOLU MOUNTED 'VERNIS MARTIN' BRACKET CLOCK WITH WALL BRACKETThe dial signed for Guerbois, Paris, the case stamped for Jacques Dubois, Paris, mid 18th centuryThe two train movement with four column-turned pillars pinned through the backplate, verge escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum with silk suspension and outside countwheel hour striking sounding on a bell mounted within the superstructure of the case, the 11 inch circular twenty-five piece enamel cartouche dial signed GUERBOIS, APARIS to the circular white enamel centre within blue on white Roman hour numerals and scroll cast gilt borders incorporating conforming Arabic five minute cartouche numerals to outer track, the waisted mid green painted case with generous scroll pierced surmount to the swept superstructure painted with sprays of roses between applied gilt scroll cast angle mounts above elaborate rococo crest and shaped glazed foliate-border cast door applied with bold leafy apron mount incorporating a recumbent Ho-Ho bird, within leafy trail painted surround applied with further scroll mounts to angles and with tall brass-edged inset arched windows within conforming painted field to sides, on four generous cast scroll feet with apron between, stamped IDUBOIS beside JME monogram to top beneath superstructure and JME twice again to rear, with matching original floral spray painted ogee-shaped wall bracket with shallow cavetto upstand to table above 'S' scroll cast frieze and rococo scroll mounts to apron and front angles over conforming cast pendant to base.The clock 97cm (38.25ins) high, 44cm (17.25ins) wide, 21cm (8.25) ins deep; the clock and wall bracket 133.5cm (52.5ins) high overall.  Provenance: The property of a private collector, North London; purchased in these rooms 17th March 2015 (lot 56) for £3,800 hammer. Louis-Denis Guerbois is recorded in Tardy Tardy DICTIONAIRE DES HORLOGERS FRANCAIS as apprenticed in Paris 1751/52. Jacques Dubois is recorded in Nicolay, Jean L'ART ET LA MANIERE DES MAITRES EBENISTES FRANCAIS AU XVIIIe SIECLE as an important ebeniste who was appointed Maitre in 1742. Jacques Dubois was born in 1694 and is believed to have trained under his half-brother Noel Gerard during the 1720's-30's before qualifying as a Master at the relatively mature age of 48. Although Dubois appears not to have supplied pieces directly to the French Court he is known to have made pieces for minor Royalty such as Madame Elizabeth, Louis XV's daughter who married the Duke of Parma. Dubois is particularly well known for his contribution to the evolution of French rococo furniture as well as his striking use of marquetry veneers and lacquer finishes. He died in 1763 leaving a substantial inventory of workshop tools, furniture and clocks.Condition Report: The movement appears to be in sound original working condition with no obvious significant replacements or alterations. Although the movement is reasonably clean and in working order a precautionary clean and overhaul is advised. The dial is generally in fair presentable condition but has faults to many of the enamel numeral plaques. All the outer minute numerals appear to have been over-painted with a coat of white ground and new black Arabic numerals. This is most likely due a significant number of these having noticeable damage requiring all to be refinished to match. The larger hour numeral plaques have a series of hairline cracks to the I, VIII, X & XI numerals and repaired edge chips to I, V, VII, VIII & X; the IIII numeral has also been significantly over-painted (leaving II, III, VI, & IX apparently free from noticeable/significant damage or restoration). The centre appears free form noticeable cracks or chips. The gilt cast dial plate appears to be in good original condition, the hands also appear original and are in good condition.The case is generally complete and free from structural damage other than slight shrinkage in places however the painted decoration has significant flaking to the right hand side of the surmount, the base board of the interior and all three sides of the wall bracket. Otherwise damage to painted decoration is limited to relatively minor bumps, scuffs, localised small degree of flaking and light wear. The interior of the rear door panel has probably been fully restored/repainted. The rear of the case has been re-ebonised over some slight historic worm damage and other minor faults commensurate with age. The mounts appear all-intact and retain much of their original gilding. Clock is complete with pendulum, winder and case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE AND RARE GERMAN RENAISSANCE GILT BRASS MOUNTED EBONISED CRUCEFIX CLOCK WITH ALARMUnsigned, Southern Germany, circa 1600The horizontal gilt copper and brass rectangular plated movement with four squat Doric column turned corner posts enclosing fusee going train with brass flanged-capped barrel and steel greatwheel driving a three-wheel train with verge escapement regulated by steel balance slung beneath the baseplate, the strike train with standing barrel incorporating fine scroll-pierced walls and steel greatwheel, decorative sculpted steel and brass scrollwork to the release detents, and external countwheel set on the baseplate for sounding the hours on a bell mounted in the base of case, the alarm with small brass-walled barrel and steel contrate wheel for the verge operated hammer sounding on a bell set within in a second tier to the movement above, with conforming corner posts and also containing the motionwork for the extended hour cannon and alarm setting/release work arbor, the case surmounted with gadroon-engraved rotating orb incorporating Arabic hour annular chapters and with down-curved adjustable alarm setting hand to the top of the sphere, over brass crucifix applied with fixed hour hand and mounted with fire-gilt Corpus Christi over small mount cast as the Virgin Mary set onto a cavetto moulded upstand and flanked by cast gilt figures of St. Peter and St. Mary Magdalene, the plinth-form base with tablet panel applied with a winged cherub mask gilt mount to frieze over glazed movement aperture flanked by architectural pilasters adorned with foliate ribbon mounts to front, the sides with projecting scrolls surmounted with finials cast as urns containing fruiting foliage over further leafy mounts and flanked by male mask terms, the rear matching the front except for not having gilt mounts, on cavetto moulded base with pierced brass hinged panel fitted with the hour bell to underside and compressed bun feet.50cm (19.75ins) high, 23.5cm (9.25ins) wide, 15cm (6ins) deep. Provenance: Previously sold at Bonhams, London Fine Clocks 6th July 2016 (lot 22) for £15,000.When considering the potential date of the current lot a cursory survey of dated German Renaissance table clock movements made during the second half of the 16th century reveals that the use of brass within the mechanism became more widespread as the century progressed. Initially brass was employed just for the fusees and spring barrel walls, then also for the movement pivot plates, and finally (by around 1600-20) for the wheelwork as well. With this in mind the current movement (having a mixture of brass and steel wheels in the trains) can be dated to around 1600. The wooden case of the present clock also a little unusual as most clocks of this type appear to have been made with engraved gilt metal cases. However, when considering other clocks with related wooden cases, it would appear that the use of ebony in case work was first adopted in around 1580-90 (see Brusa Guiseppe L'ARTE DELL' OROLOGERIA IN EUROPA plates 163-66 for an early ebony-case clock by Jobst Burgi dated to around 1580-85). This would appear to coincide with the introduction of the Baroque style into classical architecture which first evolved in the northern half of Italy but was quickly adopted by Southern German architects and persisted as a dominant style well into the 18th century. From this it is probably appropriate to speculate that wooden case-making emerged at around this time as the material both leant itself to the heavier more robust visual qualities of the Baroque style as well as the contrast between black and gold adding a heightened sense of drama to the visual qualities of the object. When considering dating evidence the case of the current lot shares very strong stylistic similarities to table clock housing a movement and dial dated 1617 by Johann Sayller of Ulm illustrated in Maurice, Klaus and Mayr, Otto THE CLOCKWORK UNIVERSE, GERMAN CLOCKS AND AUTOMOTA 1550-1650 on page 211 (Item 46). The current lot is also particularly noteworthy in that it appears to have survived in fine original condition with no significant alterations or replacements to the mechanism including the escapement which can be best described as being remarkable for clock of this age.Condition Report: Please ask the department for additional imagesCondition Report Disclaimer

During his apprenticeship it is said that LeRoy completed a watch in eight-days; he became a Master in 1713 and set up a workshop in the rue de Harlay, off la place Dauphine, where the most eminent 18th century Parisian clockmakers also worked. LeRoy was also a co-founder of the Société des Arts set-up to promote horological knowledge and served as juré 1735 to 1737. In 1739 he was appointed 'Valet de Chambre, Horologer du Roi', and granted premises in the Louvre. LeRoy however chose not to relocate there and remained at rue de Harlay sending his son, Pierre to work there instead. Julien Le Roy's contribution to horology was substantial and included regulators that showed mean and true time, an exemplary example of which is at the Hôtel des Missions Etrangères. Le Roy also resolved many problems to do with watchmaking to ensure they were easier to construct and simpler to maintain. One aspect was his adoption of George Graham's cylinder, which eventually resulted in reducing the watch's thickness. He also worked alongside Henry Sully to develop longitude timepieces and, unlike many, freely shared his ideas with his contemporaries. Julien LeRoy continued at rue de Harlay until his death in 1759 and can be credited as being pivotal in reversing the decline of French watch and clock making which had taken place at the start of the 18th century. The presence of the text 'SOCIETE DES ARTS' alongside Julien LeRoy's signature to the centre of the dial of the current lot would suggest that it was most likely made during the time he served as juré (1735-39) for the organisation.Condition Report: As catalogued the movement has been converted from verge escapement to anchor escapement hence the escape wheel and pallets are not original otherwise the mechanism appears to have survived in fine original condition with no other visible alterations or significant replacements. The movement is in working condition however as it is a little dirty/dusty and clean and overhaul is advised; the head for the hour-bell hammer is missing. The dial is in fine original condition with the only noticeable faults being some slight enamel chipping . The case is in good original condition with no significant losses to the brass marquetry and only a small section of tortoiseshell veneer missing from the upper edge of the right hand side of the superstructure. Although there are no significant losses the brass marquetry is noticeably lifting to the both the curved sections to the sides beneath the windows and to a lesser extent above the windows and to the sides of the superstructure; the rear door also has some slight lifting to the inside surface. The tortoiseshell veneers generally has some light 'blooming' to the surface, the mounts generally retain much of their gilding but with wear to t high spots; the figural surmount has more noticeable tarnishing, wear and discolouration. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to age related bumps, scuffs and shrinkage.The bracket has some noticeable lifting to the front veneers with additional noticeable localised losses to the left hand side. The upper moulding to the left hand side is currently detached. Although well-matched the bracket is probably not original to the clock.Clock has pendulum, case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer
