Lantern clock, after 16th century models; 19th century.Bronze.It has a handle and weight.Needs restoration.Measurements: 36 x 12 x 12 cm.Lantern clocks, probably so called because of their lantern-like shape, originated around 1500, but only became common after 1600 (in Great Britain, around 1620), becoming obsolete in the 19th century. The present example continues the typical appearance of this type of clock: a square case on spherical or urn feet (turned in this case), with a large circular dial, only one hand (the hour hand), and a large bell with a crown. The clocks were usually decorated with openwork ornamental motifs above the frame. Originally, they were operated by weights: usually one weight for the clock, and a second weight for the chime. Later, some spring-driven models were built, and many others were transformed into pendulum clocks.

A very rare late 19th century Japanese brass Dai-Dokei with side-pendulum and engraved dial platesurmounted by a heavy bronze straight-sided bell mounted on a turned brass post set on the overhanging brass top plate, the shaped rectangular dial plate engraved with scrolling foliage around the rotating 3.5'' twenty-four hour dial now marked in Roman hours twice I-XII, subdivided into ten minute divisions, with brass alarm setting hand and elaborately pierced stationary hour hand, the weight-driven birdcage movement with twin vertical verge escape wheels and double-sided pallets, each wide swing of the crutch (pendulum now lacking) acting on alternate wheels, with trains of four wheels, each wheel of brass and with solid centres to steel high-count pinions, the striking train with solid brass toothed count wheel striking the hours, 1-12 on a vertical hammer, governed by a four-vane fly, 27cms highFootnotes:Japanese lantern clocks belong to a larger group of traditional Japanese clocks known as Wadokei. Within the category of 'lantern clock' are various sub-divisions, including Dai-dokei which are lantern clocks that were displayed under a hood on a specially made four-legged stand, Yagura-dokei a lantern clock on a pyramidal prism stand and a Hashira-dokei the closest to a European lantern clock, which would sit on a wood wall bracket, occasionally with a hood. It is difficult to say definitively which category this clock belongs to as it does not have a stand or bracket with it. However, it is clear from examining the movement that it is not missing any side doors, which suggests that it would have been covered by something to protect it from the elements. Furthermore, as it has a four wheel train it is considered to be a larger clock, by Wadokei standards, which means it is unlikely to be hung on a wall; most Japanese house walls at this time were made of light wood and paper, with the exception of the central wooden beam which supported the structure. Considering these two factors, this clock can be tentatively classified as a Dai-dokei, though this remains conjecture.This is likely to be a transitional clock; beginning in 1873 Japan converted their national time system from temporal hours to equally divided hours. Before this date, most clocks made in Japan had dials and striking that reflected a day being variably divided into six toki during the day, and six during the night. The exact length of the toki would vary depending on the season; however, there would always be six divisions in both day and night. The numbers used to refer to each toki were a sequence from 9-4 with 9 representing midnight, 6 representing dawn down to 4, before repeating the sequence with 9 representing midday and 6 representing dusk. The numerals would be represented by animals as well, with twelve animals used so that in conversation 'the toki of the Horse' clearly referred to 9 during the day (or Noon), whereas 'the toki of the Rat' was 9 during the night (midnight). In order to display this on a clock dial a foliot escapement was used which could be regulated to go faster or slower depending on the day; double foliots were created as well with automatic, cam-assisted switch over between the daylight rate and the night time rate. Clocks without foliot escapements would be provided with moveable hour plaques, which could be pushed manually or mechanically around the chapter ring as the season dictated.In 1875, the first clock factory opened in Japan, primarily making American-type domestic clocks, all with uniform hours. Before this point, all clocks in Japan had been made by individual clockmakers; there was no wholesale 'rough movement' industry either, so generally one craftsman would create a clock from metal plate and rod, perhaps spending a year making each one. This accounts for the unique qualities of the clocks made before 1875; although they look similar, no two are interchangeable. This clock has a pendulum movement and vertical double crown wheel escapement, which is occasionally seen pre-1873, but a fixed Roman numeral chapter ring as well as a standard 12-hour count wheel, both features which were not seen until after 1873. However, the spring finger on the striking detent which connects with the hour pin on the back of the revolving dial is a pre-1873 construction, as is the traditional bell with its thickened inner rim. It seems likely that this clock was made circa 1873, having a combination of older and newer features, looking similar to other earlier clocks, but using the new system of time display. That it is a fully brass movement and has a fixed hour hand with a revolving dial, suggests it is at the later end of the Wadokei timeline.Provenance-Sold in these rooms 12 December 2018, Lot 101Strachan, A.

A FRENCH GILT, PATINATED 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 1653 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 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 1313) was sold in these rooms on 15th September 2015 (lot 43) for £6,500 hammer.
