Y A FINE FRENCH GILT FRETWORK AND PORTRAIT MINIATURE INSET GRANDE-SONNERIE ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCKUNSIGNED, PARIS, CIRCA 1900 The eight-day two train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and sounding the hour every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 342 to the lower left hand corner, the dial with circular white enamel Roman numeral disc decorated with concentric repeating polychrome floral swags to centre and with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with gilt trefoil hands set within a fine bright-cut engraved and pierced foliate scrollwork rectangular mask incorporating conforming subsidiary enamel Arabic alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt brass bevel-glazed anglaise riche variant case with spiral reeded baton to the hinged carrying handle over thick top glass, complex moulded inverted breakfront cornice and fluted frieze, the angles with twist-reeded three-quarter columns with Corinthian capitals and the sides with fine foliate pierced and engraved frets incorporating oval line delineated panel enclosing fine portrait miniatures of Marie Antoinette opposing Madame Elizabeth each executed on ivory set behind a convex glass, the rear with bevel-glazed door, on generous cavetto over ogee moulded inverted breakfront skirt base incorporating shallow block feet, the underside with G'de Sonnerie/P'te Sonnerie/Silence selection switch; with a Morocco covered outer travelling case including winding key.The clock 17.5cm (7ins) high with handle down, 11cm (4.25ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands; previously the property of Lord and Lady Swaythling. Although this rather impressive high-quality current clock appears to be unsigned it does share some strong similarities with the work of LeRoy and Fils, and can be compared to less ornamental example sold in these rooms on Wednesday 24th June 2020 (lot 98).Please note Dreweatts have an ivory exemption licence for this lot 4J9QZTH1Condition Report: Movement is running and the striking mechanism is operational. The grande-sonnerie works except for at quarter to the hour (last quarter) when the strike fails to activate (strikes correctly when repeat button is pressed during the last quarter). This suggests that a release pin is to the under-dial work is either missing or out of alignment hence would most likely be a simple repair. Clock otherwise is fully operational including the alarm and strike selection lever to underside, however a gentle/clean service is advised. The dial is in fine condition with no visible faults other than some very slight discolouration to the minute hand. The case is essentially in near immaculate condition with good strong gilding throughout and no visible damage to the glasses (including those for the portrait miniatures). The right-hand side miniature appears to have a very slight surface blemish (possibly a restored crack?) to the background behind the figure's head (towards right hand margin). Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to a few tiny barely noticeable bumps.The outer travelling case appears original to the clock but is fairly heavily worn with broken strap handle and missing button inserts for the repeat button and clasp. The interior is in sound condition. Clock has a winding/setting key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A MAHOGANY-CASED EIGHT-DAY MARINE CHRONOMETERJOSEPH SEWILL, LIVERPOOL, LATE 19th CENTURYThe circular three columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with crescent shaped spotted backplate enclosing the greatwheel with Harrison's maintaining power and the centre wheel, the remainder of the train contained within a smaller circular three-pillar sub-plate including Earnshaw type spring detent escapement regulated by a split bimetallic balance with cylindrical weights and helical invar or palladium balance spring, with faceted diamond destone and blued steel backcock securing screws, the 4.5 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds dial numbered 5307 beneath signature JOSEPH SEWILL, 61 CASTLE ST., LIVERPOOL., Maker to the Admiralty and WIND DOWN/UP dial flanked by PRIZE MEDAL AWARDED 1867 and INTERNATIONAL EXHIB. 1862 medallions beneath the X and II numerals respectively, with gold spade hands and secured by a screw-down bezel into a lacquered brass bowl with shuttered winding hole to underside, mounted via gimbals into a mahogany two-tier box with glazed top and vacant name panel recess to front, the sides with lacquered brass recessed carrying handles, (lacking top tier to box).The box 19cm (7.5ins) high, 21.5cm (8.5ins) square. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. Joseph Sewill was born in Liverpool in 1816 and started up as a watchmaker, chronometer maker, and nautical instrument maker at 61 South Castle St, Liverpool in about 1848. Latterly Joseph went into partnership with two of his sons and is thought to have retired to London in 1862. His son, John Joshua Sewill (d. 1891) succeeded him and headed the business until his death in 1891, The firm was well regarded and opened branches in London (at 30 Cornhill prior to 1882), Glasgow and Locle (Switzerland). In 1867 a chronometer by Sewill won the Greenwich Trials and they became makers to the Admiralty. In the 1874 Greenwich Trials their chronometers came first and third. They also entered pieces into Kew trials, where a karrusel watch was awarded 81.8 marks in 1900. They won an award for 'services to horology' at the Paris Exhibition of 1862, and later became 'Maker to the Queen of Spain'.Condition Report: Movement is in original working condition retaining original spotted finish to the plates, there is some slight discolouration/tarnishing in places and a few light scratches and wear hence would probably benefit from a light clean. The dial again is in original condition with old silvered finish generally in good condition with light spotting and localised discolouration. There is also some form of number (inventory or similar) mark comprising 12 within a circular panel applied between the II and III numerals - this mark appears to be an old ink rubber stamp. The bowl and bezel are in sound original condition retaining old lacquered finish albeit with heavy tarnishing/discoloration to exterior. The gimbals are complete however one of the threaded pivots (at twelve o'clock) has snapped hence the movement cannot currently suspended within the ring; however the pivot is small and of relatively simple construction hence a clockmaker should be able to turn-up a replacement without a great deal of difficulty.The box is in sound original condition however the top tier is no longer present. The front has a vacant recess suggesting that an inset nameplate has been removed (possibly due to being ivory?); otherwise faults are very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs and other minor blemishes commensurate with age or use. Timepiece has original typsy winding key (worn) but no key for the box. Condition Report Disclaimer

Provenance: Purchased by the India Office for Colaba Observatory, Bombay in 1910. Victor Kullberg is recorded in Mercer, Tony Chronometer Makers of the World as born in Sweden 1824, he was apparently drawn to London by the Great Exhibition of 1851 and subsequently set up business at 105 Liverpool N1 (by 1870). Kullberg developed several balances with middle error temperature compensation and became one of the finest makers of marine chronometers of the period; he died in 1890 leaving the business to be continued by George and Peter Wannerstrom. Included with the present lot is a photocopy of a letter addressed to the Director General of Stores at the India Office, dated 6th March 1910 and signed by the Astronomer Royal, Sir William H.

The importance of the Indian market to English chronometer makers is discussed by Simon C. Davidson in his article Box chronometers for India 1800-1936 published in the December 2014 (Vol. 35, No. 4) issue of ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY (pages 1107-1124). The present timepiece is recorded in the appendix of 'Box chronometers supplied to the East India Company and the Indian Government or notified as from India' included with the article. Please note that the vendor has provided an ivory exemption licence ref. 6P431VMXCondition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition and appears all-original. The backplate retains much of its original spotting albeit rubbed in places. The dial retains old silvering but with some patchy discolouration/tarnishing; the engraving shows no evidence of wear. The bowl and gimbals have at some point been cleaned and re-lacquered and now exhibit overall light discolouration/wear. The bowl also has some old scratches to the wall near the base. The gimbal pivot (threaded into the ring) at twelve o'clock is a replacement. The box has replaced top tier and the frame around the glazed aperture to the middle tier has some edge wear/chipping (only visible with top tier open). The nameplate to the front is cracked otherwise box is in good original condition with faults very much limited to a few very minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age.Timepiece has a typsy winding key and a key for the box.
