Footnotes:Provenance: Christie's 13 November 2014, lot 138.George Clarke worked from Leadenhall Street, London throughout the second quarter of the 18th century. As well as supplying the UK domestic market with well-made longcase, bracket and lantern clocks, he also had a strong trade with the Eastern and Ottoman markets. These export markets preferred a more ostentatious style and Clarke made strong use of lacquer, tortoiseshell, mirror and glass to appeal to the continental aesthetic. A good example of this is the red-lacquered hooded wall clock made for the Turkish market which was sold in these rooms on 14th June 2005, lot 125. Perhaps his most famous extant clock is the large musical bracket clock with glass (or 'crystal') spherical finials and cupola over facetted glass columns in the collection of The Goldsmith's Company, previously in the Wetherfield Collection. It shares the same facetted glass columns as the current lot. Another comparable clock to this lot was recorded by Lord Macartney during his visit to China 1792-1794 in the Emperor's Great Hall of the Summer Palace:'At one end I observed a musical clock that played twelve old English tunes, the 'Black Joke', 'Lillibullero', and other airs of the 'Beggars' Opera'. It was decorated in a wretched old taste, with ornaments of crystal and coloured stones but had been, I dare say, very much admired in its time. On the dial appeared in large characters, 'George Clarke, Clock and Watch Maker, in Leadenhall Street, London.'

Footnotes:William Bowyer is one of the great early British clockmakers and we have been fortunate enough to present several important examples in recent years, including: The so called 'Masterpiece' clock dated 1623, lot 72, 19th June 2007 £144,000. His earliest known clock, dated 1617, lot 60, 11th June 2018, £43,750. The clock he sold to John Earle of Rothes circa 1626, lot 68, 11th December 2019, £43,800. Literature: This clock is discussed and illustrated in an article by John Hooper 'William Bowyer Great Clock Maker', published in Antiquarian Horology, Summer 1998, p.122-133. 'His standard of workmanship, design and execution was exemplary throughout his working life.....His clock frames were splendidly turned and assembled and the dials beautifully engraved, especially on his early clocks....The movements of his clocks are of an equal standard of workmanship and the finishing of his wheels and pinions generally of an excellence rarely approached by other makers of his era. The tempering of his steelwork is invariably good and the wear on his pinions minimal considering the great age of his clocks and the survivors are, as a rule, still in good working order if suitably looked after.' There are no records as yet of the bell founder 'K.S', although another Bowyer clock is recorded in White with a bell cast with the initials 'G.S'The Worshipful Company of BrewersThe Worshipful Company of Brewers is one of the oldest of London's livery companies with references as far back as the 13th century. The first Royal Charter was granted by Henry VI in 1438 and the first Coat of Arms in 1468, these were the arms of Saint Thomas Becket, the Company's patron Saint. The Arms were changed to the present sheaves of barley and barrels, after the reformation, by Royal grant in 1544.Initial inspection of the Court Minutes and Accounts book has not yet revealed a reference to this wonderful clock - like today, this would have been an object of enormous rarity and value in the early 17th century, and it is quite possible that it was presented to the Company by a member as a gift - just as Bowyer himself had presented a clock to the Clockmakers Company. The Masters of the Brewers Company at around this time were Samuel Cranmer (1575-1640) from Cripplegate in 1631 and Francis Zachary, of Stepney in 1632.Andrew King writes:WILLIAM BOWYERGREAT CHAMBER CLOCK MAKERWith the more regular appearance of domestic clocks in the inventories from the earlier years of the sixteenth century, almost exclusively the work of Continental makers, the clock making trade in England may have been established in that century if it had not been for the successive plagues that took their toll of so many craftsmen. These human disasters led to a revived clock making trade which became established in the beginning of the seventeenth century learning their trade from previous sources as well as turret clock work, locksmithing and the art of the blacksmith. Within that first decade of the seventeenth century the tradition of the English lantern clock emerged. Of all the notable clockmakers from what has now become known as The first Period of lantern clock making, 1580-1640, William Bowyer remains one of the leading lights with his voluminous output of fine crafted clocks. Bowyer, probably born in the 1590s, in Berkshire and avoiding the contagion of plague married and possibly with his second wife Prudence produced six children with only three surviving infancy. Bowyer became a member of the Pewterer 's Livery Company, becoming a Freeman of the City of London in 1630, this, sometime before the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers received their Royal Charter in 1631. Establishing himself in Leadenhall Street Bowyer took at least six apprentices during his early years and another four some years later from 1638 through the Clockmakers Company. This providing only the smallest indication of the considerable workforce that must have existed in the Leadenhall Street manufactory not too far away from Lothbury the busiest area of lantern clockmaking with not only the Hall of the Founders Company but also the necessary foundries themselves for the adjacent trade.With the formation of the Clockmakers Company William Bowyer appeared to be a somewhat reluctant and not fully committed member in their ranks. His name first appeared in 1632 when he was sent with a small committee 'to treat to the Blacksmiths about their business' but the following year he was in trouble for failing to attend the Court despite warnings. Nine years later in 1642 Bowyer presented the Company with a great chamber clock, the purpose to absolve himself of all Company responsibilities, 'Mr Bowyer to be exempt from place, office and service'. With possibly a somewhat unpredictable and recalcitrant character he nevertheless, became Assistant in 1651 and was elected a Warden in 1653, the year in which it is believed he may have died.William Bowyer's lantern clocks are always notably varied and impressive with unique art and innovation in both styling and mechanical versatility.The dials of Bowyer's clocks are a unique cornucopia of flowers, fruit, swirling leaves and comical masks much of this witness from the world of silversmithing, needlework and the publications of craft and design. This unique artwork suggesting that perhaps Bowyer employed a full time engraver. It would certainly appear that with the output of this manufactory any engraver would have been very busy. The adjacent frets a reflective artwork perhaps with a central urn of flowers and leaves flowing to form the outer region of the fret and sometimes incorporating an owl or even a boar's head. These frets were considered to be such an important feature that Bowyer is cast them to accommodate the bases of the finials, a unique feature. An unusual feature of some of Bowyer's chapter rings and surely another unique feature to him, are the quart... For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Knifton premises were destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666, and he died soon after at Norris's home. Norris became master of the Clockmakers Company in 1687, and died in 1707.
