Interesting, rare and large period English brass lantern clock, the 10.25" silvered dial enclosing a fine foliate engraved centre signed Robert Seignior, Londini, with iron hands and central alarm, associated chapter ring surmounted by pierced engraved foliate frets, strapwork bell and finial, 22" high (pendulum and weight) (alterations) *This clock is believed to be unique and possibly a special commission **The maker, Robert Seignior, was regarded as quite a rogue and of some notoriety in his working life, however he was also a highly regarded clockmaker, initially apprenticed to John Nicasius and was Freed from the Clockmakers' Company in April 1667. He then took on apprentices Richard Wright and Thomas Cruttenden, who was then passed over to John Fromanteel. He worked in Exchange Alley and was constantly in trouble with the clockmakers' company administration. On the 10th October 1682 he got paid twenty pounds for a clock commissioned for the Treasury Chambers, which is thought most likely to be this clock. He finally died in 1685 and by 1686, Daniel Quare had taken over Seignior's former premises in Exchange Alley

John Snow. A fine and early silver key wind pair case 'puritan' pocket watchDate: Circa 1640 Movement: Gilt full plate gut fusee verge, pierced and engraved elongated pinned-on balance cock, worm and wheel set up, silver regulation, tapered and engraved square section pillarsDial: Silver, black Roman numerals, black inner minute markers with fleur-de-lys half hour marks, blued steel single handCase: Polished inner and outer, narrow rope effect engraving to inner bezel, Signed: Movement signed 'John Snow me Fecit'Size: 43.5mm Accompaniments: Transcript of Nicholas Snows willFootnotes:This style of watch was fashionable between circa 1630-60 and it was in the nineteenth century that the name 'Puritan' was applied to this type. An exceptional feature of the case of this watch is the early method of fitting the crystal 'glass' which is held in place by tags around the underside of the bezel.There appears to be no proper record of a John Snow working at this period other than John Snow of Salisbury. F. J. Britten records a John Snow of London but his evidence is a lantern clock at Simpsons in the Poultry signed 'John Snow Ao dmi 1630' - a signature style typical of the Salisbury maker. Britten also records an advertisement in the London Gazette, April 1680 for a lost watch signed 'John Snow Sarum' (Sarum being the Latin name for Salisbury). Baillie just has 'Snow, John, London 1630 lantern clock' while Loomes repeats this but, wisely, has a question mark after London. Baillie fails to list John Snow of Salisbury but Loomes does. George White states that there were two members of the Snow family working in Salisbury in the early Seventeenth century, Nicholas and John. He records some of their background and illustrates a lantern clock signed 'Jo Snow. Ano. Do. 1630' and refers to another with the same signature illustrated by Edwardes. That John and Nicholas Snow were brothers is confirmed by Nicholas's will dated 20th February 1644 which refers to 'John Snowe my brother' who he appointed overseer.
