Provenance: Private collection. Inherited by Mr. & Mrs. Curling Hunter, 9, Westbourne Terrace, London, and thence by descent to the vendor. Richard Fennell is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in about 1656 and began his apprenticeship with Matthew Crockford in 1669. He then transferred to Thomas Bagley and finally gained his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company after ten years, in 1679. He is believed to have married Ann Hedderil at St. Duke's Place in 1693 but did not sign the Clockmakers 'oath of allegiance' in 1697. He worked in the outskirts of the city in Kensington and is known for longcase, lantern and table clocks including a small series of miniature brass table timepieces - an example of which was exhibited in the 'Horological Masterworks' Exhibition held at The Museum of the History of Science, Oxford, 29 March - 22 June 2003 (item number 48). Clockmakers Company records suggest that he was in arrears for his quarterage in 1705 and is believed to have worked in Kensington until at least 1715. Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition having the appearance of being recently cleaned/serviced. There is no visible evidence of alteration or obvious replacements with the exception of the escapement pallets which are probably 'service' replacements. The backplate has some punch marks around the pivot holes to tighten them as well as at the location of one of the movement pillars where it is interference fitted to the backplate. The dial is in good condition with some mellowing to the silvering evident. The minute hand is a replacement and the hour has been repaired. The movement is fitted with a replacement seatboard however it rests directly onto the cheek uprights of the case with no visible evidence of adjustment to the latter hence we are inclined to believe that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. The case is generally in relatively untouched original condition and of good colour. The hood has a replacement top board (but no evidence of ever being fitted with a caddy superstructure) and the front frieze would have almost certainly been faced with fretwork (is veneered in walnut). The hood columns are also replacements. The rear top cornice mouldings have been cut at an angle to rear (to allow the case to stand in the corner of a room) otherwise faults are limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and couple of small veneer repairs commensurate with age and use. The front glass has a crack to the lower right-hand corner and the left hand glass is also cracked. The trunk and base are generally in sound original condition. The throat moulding has bumps/chips to the rear left-hand corner and a corresponding small veneer patch to the left. The clamp to the top of the trunk door is dislodged but still just attached and leaning forward due to movement of the crossgrain edge mouldings. There are some localised losses to the marquetry along the join of the crack. The lower clamp has a crack along the join and the joint is loose (but no significant losses to the marquetry) and there is general lifting/curling to the edge mouldings. The plinth appears to retain its original structure and veneers but with additional blocks etc glued to the inside to brace the structure; the skirt is a later addition. The front has a horizontal crack albeit with minimal losses. Otherwise faults to the case are limited to relatively minor historic bumps, scuffs, bruises, shrinkage, wear and a couple of minor localised veneer repairs.Clock has pendulum, two weights and a crank winder, but no case key.

A FRENCH GILT AND SILVERED BRASS NOVELTY 'QUARTERDECK' MANTEL CLOCKGUILMET, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURYThe eight-day gong striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by compound pendulum with upper crossed spring suspension for the figural bob and stamped GLT, BREVETTE, S.G.D.G. trademark over serial number 1742 to backplate, the circular gilt Roman numeral dial with steel spade hands and canted bezel set into the cabin elevation of the case modelled as the stern of a ship with upper poop deck applied with binnacle compass before a figure cast as a sailor at the helm rocking from side-to-side with the motion of the pendulum, with curved balustrading behind terminating with lantern posts to sides over lower deck accessed via a ladder to the left and with another figure of a mariner gathering rope from a coil to the right, on moulded gilt base applied onto stepped black marble plinth with gilt block feet.30cm (11.5ins) high, 29cm (11.5ins) wide, 22cm (8.75ins) deep. Andre Romain Guilmet was born on the 10th of December 1827 in La Ferte-Gaucher, France. He was a credited as a watchmaker and inventor who specialised in producing novelty and mystery clocks for which he applied for a number of patents for designs. Amongst his other Patents was that for a bicycle where the driving chain was set below the seat. He is best known for his 'mysterieuse' figural clock with glass pendulum, this takes the form of a woman holding pendulum in her outstretched hand and arm over a marble base containing the clock below. The pendulum is impulsed by the mechanism underneath her that moves the figure imperceptibly from side to side. Guilmet's industrial series of clocks, which includes the current lot, features automated clocks in the form of windmills, lighthouses, automobiles, boats, steam hammers, boilers, etc. A Guilmet 'quarterdeck' clock is illustrated in Roberts, Derek Mystery Novelty and Fantasy Clocks on page 225 (figs. 22-2 a-d); and another (number 1653) was sold in these rooms on 6th September 2022 (lot 92) for £9,500 hammer.

A BRASS QUARTER-CHIMING LANTERN CLOCKTHE FRAME AND DIAL BY WILLIAM RAYMENT, STOWMARKET, CIRCA 1700, THE MOVEMENT SECOND HALF OF THE 19th CENTURYThe four columnar pillar triple chain fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by short lenticular bob pendulum, sounding a choice of two tunes for the quarters on a graduated nest of eight bells set above the top plate, and the hour on the large bell mounted within the superstructure, fitted behind the earlier dial signed W. Rayment, Stow Market over symmetrical acanthus scrollwork to centre, within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with cruciform half hour markers, now with two sculpted steel hands and the angles with leafy motif engraved infill, the frame with column-turned corner posts beneath dolphin and foliate scroll pierced frets, vase finials and domed bell bearer surmounted by a further finial, the sides and rear with hinged doors, on four ball feet.40.5cm (16ins) high, 18cm (7ins) wide, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep. William Rayment is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as probably related to Richard Rayment, and notes his marriage to Rebecca Richardson in Coombs, Suffolk, in 1706. He later moved to the nearby village on Onehouse, where he was buried in December 1760. Condition Report: Movement is complete but in dirty/neglected condition. The going train is running, the quarter train will just about run but is very lazy/prone to stopping and the strike train will not operate unless further force is applied to the train. The mainspring appears to have tension but there are two bent teeth on the strike train greatwheel which will either require strengthening or replacing. Movement requires a clean/service and repairs to the teeth of the strike greatwheel as a minimum, but no other damage or losses are apparent with a visual examination. The dial and case are in good overall condition with no apparent breaks or repairs to the castings however the clock is generally very dirty/oxidised throughout. Clock is complete with pendulum and a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
