In around 1900 the factory was updated and equipped with up to modern machinery hence production was moved fully in-house. In 1914 the factory was adapted to produce fuses for the war effort. Duverdry and Bloquel's London agent was Landenberger and Company who most likely supplied the movement of the current lot to the makers of the case.Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition retaining original frosted gilt finish to plates, the platform escapement however is a replacement. The dial appears free from visible damage. The case has a front to back crack to the underside between the left hand feet; a small indent repair to the ivory to the left hand side just above the foot and another smaller horizontal crack to the left hand side at the top edge of the hinge.

The firm was awarded a gold medal at the Paris 1889 Exposition Universelle and were also known as retailers of small items of furniture and decorative objects of the very highest order, made by the leading ébénistes of the day. Taburet and Boin continued in partnership together until 1900 when Georges Boin went into partnership with the silversmith Henry to establish Boin and Henry silversmiths.The current lot can be directly compared to an ivory-bodied example, also signed for Boin-Taburet, which was sold at Christies, South Kensington sale of The Dr. Eugene and Rose Antelis Collection of Important French Carriage Clocks Thursday 26th November 1998 (lot 123).Condition Report: Movement is in clean original condition and will just about run although a clean and overhaul is required.

The outer leather covered travelling case has overall wear and scuffing and also a small loss to the apex of the front left hand hinged section.Timepiece does not have a winding key present Condition Report Disclaimer
Lot 24
Y A fine Victorian oxidised brass Fortin type mercury forecasting barometerGeorge S. Wood, Liverpool, circa 1880Constructed with central large-bore tube flanked by silvered scales applied to separate ebonised moulded panels calibrated in barometric inches 0-32 and with rack and pinion adjusted Vernier slide to right hand side, opposing an arrangement of three plates engraved with detailed forecasting predictions within fine scroll engraved margins and incorporating recording slide labelled SET AT, 9 A.M. YESTERDAY to top, the apex with further applied bridging plate signed G.S. Wood, LATE ABRAHAM & Co., OPTICIAN, LIVERPOOL, the base with substantial cylindrical cistern incorporating glazed collar enclosing ivory level pointer between screw-clamped collars over fine level adjustment screw to underside, the instrument mounted onto the backboard of a full-height half-round glazed case opening at the front, with domed cupola surmounted with a reeded gilt brass ball finial and conforming inverted dome to base, (mercury removed), 130cm (51ins) approx. high. George S. Wood is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as taking over the business of Abraham Abraham and Company located at 20 Lord Street, Liverpool in 1875 and working until 1894. The current lot is made to the principles laid down by Nicholas Fortin (1750-1831) and incorporates a glazed cistern so that the level can be calibrated via the adjustment screw to the base against an inverted conical ivory cone in the cistern in order to obtain consistency in the readings. This particular type of barometer provides an accurate reading hence was generally adopted for laboratory use throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. The combination of comprehensive scales complete with detailed observations to assist in forecasting (based on those laid-out by Admiral Fitzroy in the 1850's) and fine bowfronted case suggests that the current lot was either made to be exhibited by the maker (possibly in his own showroom) or for a wealthy client or institution.Condition Report: Instrument appears complete with the exception of mercury and two (of the three) brass cistern securing rods and screws (for holding the base of the cistern tight against the cylindrical glass sleeve) which are now unfortunately missing. The silvering to the register plates has some patchy discolouration but engraving is fine and crisp. The case is in good original condition with noticeable faults apparently only limited to the finial being a little bent. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A Victorian rosewood mercury marine stick barometerCasella, London, circa 1860With suspension ring to top over arched bevel-glazed canted double ivory Vernier scales calibrated in barometric inches and with the usual observations, the upper margin signed Casella, MAKER TO THE ADMIRALTY, LONDON and the arch inscribed James Furnell, the trunk with ivory button keys for the Vernier setting squares above applied arch-glazed mercury FAHRENHEIT and REAUMUR scale thermometer, the base with stepped moulded brass cylindrical enclosed cistern (lacking gimbals), 97cm (38ins) high. The firm of Casella is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as being established by Louis Casella in 1838 when he went into partnership with his father-in-law Caesar Tagliabue initially trading as Tagliabue & Casella from 23 Hatton Garden, London. His successor, Louis Pascal Casella worked from 1858 and expanded the business resulting in Casella becoming one of the largest makers of barometers and other instruments in England who were still trading well into the 20th century. The name 'James Furnell' inscribed above the maker's signature is probably that of the first owner of the barometer.Condition Report: Barometer contains mercury however the contents appear not to respond to tilting hence there is either a substantial air lock or a problem with the cistern (although there is no evidence of leakage). The scales are in good condition with both Vernier slide adjustments working. The thermometer is in good condition with only minor discolouration to the scale, the lower rail of the moulded surround is missing a small length of moulding. The case is generally in good original unrestored condition as a consequence the cistern casing is tarnished/discoloured in appearance. As catalogued the barometer does not have its gimbal mounts.

Lot 32
Y A fine Regency mahogany bowfronted cistern tube mercury stick barometer Dollond, London, early 19th century With swan-neck pediment and cavetto cornice above bow-glazed silvered vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches and with the usual observations beneath signature Dollond, LONDON to upper margin, the bowed trunk with bone vernier adjustment key to throat and ebony line inlaid edges, the shaped base with ebonised half vase turned cistern cover flanked by canted angles decorated with ebony line infill, the cavetto moulded underside with level adjustment square, 100cm high excluding finial.

He was joined by his father in 1752 until his death in 1761, and then by his brother, John, until his death in 1804. The family businesss was continued by Peter Dollond's nephew, George Huggins, who changed his surname to Dollond. George Dollond became instrument maker to William IV and Queen Victoria, exhibited at the Great Exhibition in 1851 and died 1856. Condition Report: Tube is filled with mercury and will rise almost all the way to the top of then tube when tilted suggesting that there is only a very small amount of air in the system. The scales are in fine condition and the Vernier slide mechanism is operational. The case is fairly heavily faded but otherwise is free from significant faults. The level adjustment screw to the underside is missing around three-quarters of it ivory disc.Condition Report Disclaimer

BLEULER, No. 27 Ludgate Street, LONDON, the exterior with brass button clasp to front, 17cm (6.75ins) high.

The case is intact but a little tired with cracking, slight movement and wear to the skin veneers. The base has a hole due to an instrument being pushed through from the inside and the rear has unusual layout to the veneers incorporation a triangular patch which is almost certainly a detail from its construction than a repair. Internally the compartment divisions have noticeable wear but are serviceable. Condition Report Disclaimer
Lot 85
Y A Victorian brass bound mahogany carriage clock case For a carriage clock by James McCabe, London, circa 1850 Of rectangular form with recessed brass carrying handle to top and rounded brass bound edges, the front with central panel sliding upwards to reveal the green velvet lined interior before folding back to allow the section incorporating ivory plaque inscribed JAMES McCABE, Royal Exchange, LONDON, No 2778 to form the upper margin of the aperture, the rear with door set flush within the frame of the case, 25cm (9.75ins) high. James McCabe junior succeeded his father of the same name was one of the most successful English clock and watchmakers of the 19th century. He was apprenticed to Reid and Auld of Edinburgh and was admitted to the Clockmaker's Company as a Free Brother in 1822. Around this time McCabe entered into short lived partnership with Strahan (probably Charles who gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1815). From 1826 James McCabe managed the business alone from 97 Cornhill until 1838 when he was forced to temporarily relocate to 32 Cornhill due to a major fire at the Royal Exchange. It was at this time (1825-43) that Thomas Cole worked for McCabe before setting up his own to produce distinctive and highly decorative timepieces in his own unmistakable style. The business was subsequently continued by Robert Jeremy until his retirement in 1883. The current lot would have housed a particularly fine giant carriage clock made at the height of James McCabe's career. The fittings to the inside of the case suggest that clock number 2778 would have been of one of McCabe's distinctive designs with the case incorporating scroll-outline canted angles (see Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS page 292). Condition Report: Maximum internal dimensions: depth 14cm; width 18cm; height 22cm. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A Regency eight-day marine chronometerBarraud, London, circa 1815The four pillar single chain reverse fusee movement with stepped bridge for the mainspring barrel incorporating blued steel set-up ratchet, Harrison's maintaining power, Earnshaw type spring detent escapement regulated by Pennington 'double-L' type split bimetallic balance with helical balance spring and faceted diamond endstone set within separate sub-plate assembly, the backplate signed Barrauds Cornhill, LONDON 750, the 3.5 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with subsidiary seconds dial over signature Barrauds, LONDON, sector aperture for state of wind and repeat serial number 750 to centre and blued steel spade hands, set behind a screw-down bezel into a brass bowl with shuttered winding hole to underside and mounted via gimbals into a mahogany three tier box centred with a shaped brass name plaque to the top, with brass capped corners over strap-bound edges, the sides with brass carrying handles and the front with vacant ivory panel over shaped brass key escutcheon, (bowl, gimbals and box probably mid 19th century replacements) 15cm (6ins) wide; with a copy of Jagger, Cedric PAUL PHILIP BARRAUD, The Antiquarian Horological Society, London 1968, dj; complete with supplement, (2). Provenance: According to Jagger Barraud No. 750 was aboard H.M. Ship Ariadne under the command of Lieut. Gordon. Whilst at Port Louis a Mr. Newman aboard the vessel comments "I esteem Barrauds Chronometer 750 so much that I use it as a regulator to five others on board by comparing them every day". The Marquis of Huntly also commented very favourably on the chronometer's performance during a voyage which commenced on the 10th May, 1822. Jagger's supplement also notes Barraud 750 as 'said to have been used by the U.S. Navy in W.W.1 and then laid up at Naval Observatory until W.W.2, then disposed of. Also listed in C.L.R.B. under dates Sept., 1850 - January, 1851.' Paul Phillip Barraud (born 1752) worked with his father at first until his death in 1795 after which Barraud turned his attention more towards chronometers. Using the valuable experience gained whilst working on Mudge's timekeepers with W. Howells and G. Jamieson to good effect, he became very successful. After his death in 1820 the business was continued by his sons taking John Richard Lund, a former apprentice of John Pennington (who developed the auxiliary compensation balance weight to correct for middle temperature changes), into partnership in 1838. Two comparable eight-day movements by Barraud (numbers 986 and 2/570) are illustrated in Bertele, Hans von MARINE & POCKET CHRONOMETERS, History and Development pages 162-63 (Figures 159a and 161a). The brass bowl and case of the present timepiece are probably mid 19th century purpose-made replacements as it would appear that Barraud's chronometers made during the Regency period tended to be housed in a different design of bowl with convex glass to the screw-down bezel.
Lot 87
Y A Victorian small two-day marine chronometerCharles Frodsham, London, circa 1845 The four pillar full-plate single chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power, split bimetallic balance with keystone-shaped compensation weights, helical balance spring and faceted diamond endstone, the spotted backplate signed Charles Frodsham, London and with brass bayonet fitting dust cover, the 3.25 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with blued steel fleur-de-lys hands, subsidiary seconds and power reserve dials, and inscribed CHARLES FRODSHAM, 7 Pavement, Finsbury Park, London, No. 2012 to centre, set in a lacquered brass bowl with screw-down bezel mounted within pivoted gimbals with locking screw, the mahogany three-tier case with vacant nameplate to top surface and push button clasp for the top tier above inset ivory panel inscribed ARNOLD, CHARLES FRODSHAM, 84 STRAND, LONDON. to the middle tier, with brass key escutcheon over circular plate engraved with repeat serial number 2012 beneath, the sides with brass carrying handles, the box 15cm (6ins) wide. Charles Frodsham was born in 1810 into a family of clockmakers with his grandfather, William originating from Cheshire before moving to London prior to 1781 where he was admitted to the Clockmakers Company. His son, William James, had six sons, four of whom joined the firm of Parkinson and Frodsham in London; whilst Charles, the third born son set-up on his own at Barnes Place, Islington in 1834. He moved to 12 Finsbury Pavement in 1836 then to number 7 in 1838. On the death of the renowned chronometer maker John Roger Arnold in 1843 Charles Frodsham acquired the business and began trading as Arnold, Charles Frodsham from 84 Strand, London. Unusually Frodsham was not admitted to the Clockmakers Company until 1845 but went on to serve as master twice in 1855 and 1862; he was also a founder member of the British horological Institute in 1858.Charles Frodsham became one of the most eminent chronometer makers of his generation who served as a juror in the 1852 International Exhibition held at South Kensington where he also showed a month duration marine chronometer with experimental Duo-in-uno balance springs and three different forms of compound balance. In 1854 he purchased the goodwill of the late Benjamin Lewis Vulliamys business which led to his appointment as Superintendent and Keeper of Her Majestys clocks at Buckingham Palace. Charles Frodsham died of liver disease in January 1871 and was succeeded by his son, Harrison Mill Frodsham. The business became Charles Frodsham and Company and in 1884 and then was incorporated as a limited Company in 1893 before relocating to 115 New Bond Street, London two years later where they remained well into the Twentieth Century. The firm is still trading today (from 32 Bury Street, London) as specialist in chronometer, watch and clock makers. The current lot appears to be one of the first chronometers sold by Frodsham after he acquired the late John Roger Arnolds business in 1843 as the dial carries his former address (7 Pavement, Finsbury Square) whilst the box has a plaque for Arnold, Charles Frodsham at 84 Strand, London. This fact is further supported by the existence (in the collection of the National Maritime Museum -accession number ZAA0058) of a small marine chronometer numbered 2025 and signed by Frodsham at 84 Strand which utilises a pocket chronometer movement made by Arnold in around 1802. From this it is reasonable to surmise that Frodsham initially used-up old stock, both from his Finsbury address and Arnolds former business, when he first started trading from 84 Strand in 1843.Condition Report: Movement appears to be in fine clean working condition with no obvious alterations, repairs or replacements. The lacquered finish has a few areas of tarnishing and discolouration. The dial is in fine condition with clear engraving and only light tarnishing mainly towards lower edge. The internal cover has some light wear/discolouration to the original lacquered finish otherwise is in fine condition. The brass bowl and gimbal assembly are in fine condition however have probably been gently cleaned and re-lacquered at some point and are now showing slight discolouration in places. The box appears to be in fine condition with faults essentially limited to slight patchy fading to the top panel and a crack to the left hand margin of the ivory nameplate to the front.Instrument has a case key but presently no winder -has been consigned as part of a private collection. The vendor was unable to locate the keys to his clocks at the time of consigning, he has now found them and is sending them to us so hopefully the clock will have a key by the time the sale goes on view -we will update this report accordingly.

William Parkinson and William James Frodsham founded the highly regarded firm of Parkinson & Frodsham in 1801 at 4 Change Alley, Cornhill, London. William Parkinson died in 1842 and William Frodsham in 1850. Initially the firm specialised in marine and pocket chronometers. It had an extensive export business, and supplied the Admiralty and numerous shipping companies. After the founders' deaths the business was continued by Frodsham's elder sons and grandson until 1912, when the name and business were sold to the foreman, William Harris. Harris and his son Geoffrey ran the business successfully until 1944 when the firm's premises in Budge Row were bombed.Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition and appears all-original, plates have some light patchy discolouration from handling. Dial is in fine condition with only very slight mellowing to the silvered finish. The bowl and gimbals are in good original condition with relatively minor wear/degradation to the lacquer finish.Box is generally in fine original unrestored condition retailing all of its inlay and other brass fittings. The top panel has a very slight bow and general slight movement in the case has caused the brass angle edging to stand a little proud. The front name panel has cracks around three of the four securing screws, the finish is a little dull and the brass generally rubbed/oxidised.Chronometer has winder but no box key.
