A Charles II brass lantern clock with alarm Robert Cosbey, London, circa 1665 The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with separately wound trains and verge escapement regulated by brass balance set above the top plate, the dial with a central rose decorated alarm disc enveloped by stylised leafy tulip sprays issuing from a three-petal flowerhead positioned just above six o'clock and interrupted by the signature Robert Cosbey at the dyall in, Rood Lane London to upper margin, with iron hand within applied narrow Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised wheatear half hour markers and engraved leafy infill to angles, the standard London third period frame with column turned corner posts beneath dolphin inhabited foliate pierced frets, vase turned finials and domed bell bearer, the sides with hinged brass doors and the rear with an iron backplate fitted with an alarm mechanism hanging hoop and spurs, (escapement and alarm restored), 37.5cm (14.75ins) high. Robert Cosbey is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in around 1646 and was apprenticed to Peter Closon gaining his freedom of the Clockmaker’s Company in 1655. In 1672 he was fined for refusing to become a Steward of the Company however had been elevated to Assistant by 1674. Cosbey never became a Warden and ceased attending in 1685. It is probable that he died fairly soon after as his name does not appear on the 1697 Oath of Allegiance. The current lot is a textbook example of London third period practice using frame castings developed probably just prior to 1660 (see White, George 'English Lantern clocks' page 180 figures IV/37 - IV/39 and lot 153). By this time the design of the dial engraving had also become relatively standardised hence the ‘tulip’ decoration on the current lot can be closely compared with that seen on a clock by Benjamin Hill which was sold in these rooms on Tuesday 15th September 2015 (lot 155), as well as numerous other examples by the likes of Richard Ames and Thomas Wheeler made during the 1660's-70's.

An English brass lantern clock Bearing a signature for Thomas Knifton, third quarter of the 17th century and later With countwheel striking movement incorporating Huygens’s endless winding and now with anchor escapement for regulation by pendulum swinging behind the frame at the rear, the dial with a central rose decorated vestigial alarm disc enveloped by stylised leafy tulip sprays issuing from a three-petal flower head positioned just above six o'clock, with sculpted iron hand within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised wheatear half hour markers and engraved leafy infill to angles, the standard London third period frame with column turned corner posts beneath dolphin inhabited foliate pierced frets incorporating engraved text Thomas Knifton at the (crossed keys symbol) in Lothbury to the front, vase turned finials and domed bell bearer, the sides and rear with hinged brass doors (no pendulum or weights, lacking top finial), 34cm (13.25ins) high.

A rare Swiss wooden weight-driven wall clock retaining original polychrome painted decoration Unsigned, probably Toggenburg, mid 18th century The posted wooden movement with solid wheels and lantern pinions, the going train set in front of strike train incorporating verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum swinging in front of the dial, the strike train of single arbor warnless type with overlift provided by a kidney-shaped cam and with wooden countwheel positioned within an enclosed section behind the frame sounding via a vertically pivoted hammer on a bell mounted above the top panel, the 6 inch wide dial panel with central pin-hole alarm disc and wooden hand within Roman numeral chapter ring with red concentric coach-line border over conforming quarter-hour dial with disc-shaped hand, within an olive green painted field polychrome decorated with floral spray infill beneath leaf painted fleur-de-lys centred scroll-pierced crest, the sides with break-arch pin-hinged doors and the conforming rear panel with iron hanging strap, (lacking alarm crownwheel and weights), 31.5cm (12.5ins) high. The current lot can be compared to an example dated 1757 believed to have been made in Toddenburg, Switzerland illustrated in Tardy LA PENDULE FRANCAISE, 3,me Partie: Provinces et Etranger on page 456 (lower left). Other than the verge escapement regulated by short pendulum the movement of the current lot closely follows those of iron chamber clocks made in both Switzerland and Germany during the second half of the 16th century. In particular the single-arbor warnless striking is typical of such examples and the alarm disc incorporating holes for inserting a pin to release the mechanism along with the subsidiary quarter-hour dial are features also often seen (see Bassermann-Jordan, Hans Von THE BOOK OF OLD CLOCKS AND WATCHES page 106, Fig 80.).

A second period brass lantern clock with later spring movement The front fret signed for William Selwood, London, circa 1640, the movement late 19th century Now with four pillar single fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by a short lenticular bob pendulum and passing strike sounding on the original bell above, the dial engraved with central flowerhead enveloped by stylised leafy floral sprays issuing from another flowerhead positioned just above six o'clock and incorporating large blooms to upper and lower margins, with original iron hour hand and later minute hand carefully made to match within applied narrow silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised wheatear hour markers and engraved leafy infill to angles, the standard London second period 'Lothbury' frame with column turned corner posts beneath engraved foliate scroll pierced shield centred stapwork fret signed William sellwood at y’e Mermayd in Lothbury to lower edge and plain side frets, vase turned finials and domed bell bearer above, the sides with hinged brass doors, on turned ball feet, 38cm (15ins) high. William Selwood was born in Abingdon in Berkshire in 1607 and is recorded as a Free Brother in the Clockmakers' Company in 1633 until his death in 1653. He trained under Henry Stevens from 1624 to 1632, and worked at the Mermaid in Lothbury till his death in 1653. Selwood was succeeded by his is former pupil, Thomas Loomes, who married Mary, the daughter of Ahasuerus Fromanteel in 1654. A clock by Selwood with related dial engraving to the current lot (albeit around an alarm disc) is illustrated in White, George English Lantern Clocks on page 134 (figure III/14). White also illustrates two further dials by Henry Ireland and Thomas Knifton (both of whom were apprenticed to William Selwood) which also exhibit very similar engraving (figures III/15 and III/14 respectively). The design of fret used on the present clock is of the earlier 'strapwork' type (which was generally phased-out during the 1650's in favour of the later 'foliate' pattern - see White page 144), whilst the frame castings are of typical second period 'Lothbury' pattern which were mainly in use up until around 1660 (see lot 154). These details reflect the fact that by the 1650's Lothbury had become a hub for the horological trade mainly due to the abundant supply of brass and iron from nearby foundries. The efficient supply of raw castings lead to the emergence of a degree of standardisation (assisted by many workshops having shared roots) with regards to frame patterns, dial engraving and fret design. During the latter part of the 19th century the re-purposing of ‘historic’ objects became fashionable in order to create interiors which had an authentic feel of antiquity. Regrettably this fashion meant that many items (particularly furniture) were altered in form and/or had decorative elements added. At this time many original lantern clock survivors were converted from weight-driven to spring movements in order that they can rest on a table or mantelpiece, indeed they became so popular as decorative objects that reproductions began to be made. The current lot was converted at this time however the all of the original frame elements were retained as well as the hour hand hence the original appearance of the clock has been largely preserved and it has good rich patination.

A scarce brass lantern clock hand Possibly from the workshop of Edward Webb, Somerset or Bristol, late 17th Century Made from cast brass with oval boss and shaft terminating with twin foliate scrolls joined by a heart issuing bead-filed tip, the tail of conforming shorter profile, 5.4cm (2.125ins); 8.4cm (3.25ins) long overall. The current lot is an example of a classic ‘Bristol’ cast brass hand as drawn in George White English Lantern Clocks on page 229 (Fig V/32 C.). This particular casting appears on almost all the surviving clocks by Edward Webb of Chew Stoke (see lot 196) which suggests that this pattern may have originated from Webb’s foundry.

A very rare French Louis XIII small brass lantern or chamber clock G. Estienne, Caen, first half of the 17th century The posted two train bell striking movement with fine Roman Doric turned corner posts and separately wound trains with the going now with verge escapement for regulation by short small bob pendulum, the dial with fine foliate scroll decorated hour disc applied with sculpted steel trefoil hand tip and engraved with Arabic hour numerals for the alarm to outer track, within applied silvered narrow Roman numeral chapter ring with cruciform half hour markers, set onto a dial plate finely engraved with tulip, poppy, narcissi and other floral blooms and trails to the upper and lower margins, beneath conforming engraved shaped front fret centred with a vacant cartouche, small acorn finials and iron-strap bell bearer surmounted with a bulbous brass finial, the base with frame securing nuts and engraved G. Estienne ACaen to underside, (unrestored, formerly verge with balance regulation, lacking countwheel, pendulum rod, alarm and alarm hand; the bell and bearer replaced), 18cm (7ins) high excluding bell and bearer. G. Estienne of Caen does not appear to be recorded in the usual sources. The engraving to the dial plate of the current is very finely executed and composed of scrolling floral trails with different blooms arranged in a symmetrical manner. This engraving can be compared to that on the dial of a chamber clock dated 1588 by Francis Nawe illustrated in Dawson, Percy G.; Drover, C.B. and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks on page 18 (Plate 5), which although incorporates grotesques and a small amount of strapwork is very similar in feel and quality. Francis Nawe was a Huguenot immigrant who is believed to have come to London from Antwerp in around 1575 and died of the plague in 1593. Other timepieces with related engraving are two very similar small table clocks by Bartholomew Newsam illustrated in Early English Clocks on pages 26 (Plate 19) and 29 (Plate 26) and another drum clock by the same maker illustrated on page 28 (Plate 22). George White in English Lantern Clocks also illustrates the side panel of Francis Nawe’s 1588 clock (on page 58, Figures II/23 & 24) and notes that the designs were after Etienne de Laune and Abraham de Bruyn. When the engraving on these late 16th century clocks are compared to those a little later in date it becomes clear that the size of the flowerheads increased and the designs became more abstracted although the symmetrical balance remained. This is well illustrated on the dial of wall alarm timepiece dating to before 1615 by Robert Harvey, London, illustrated in White, George English Lantern Clocks on page 61 (Figure II/30). Interestingly on the same page White also illustrates a possibly English unsigned steel and brass chamber clock with related dial engraving and similar arrangement of hour hand tip applied to revolving disc (this time indicating the lunar calendar) within the chapter ring. One final clock with floral engraved dial worth considering is a silver example by David Bouquet dating to around 1650 illustrated in Early English Clocks on page 61 (Plate 69). The engraved blooms on this example are much larger than the present clock although some semblance of symmetry is retained whilst the quality of execution is good but not as fine as that on the current lot. From the above observations it would seem appropriate to suggest a date of around 1625 for the current lot. The movement was originally made with verge escapement with balance wheel regulation and has separately wound trains which also suggests an early date of manufacture.
