A fine Charles II ebonised eight-day longcase clock Lawrence Debnam, Frome A fine Charles II ebonised eight-day longcase clock Lawrence Debnam, Frome, dated 1675 The two-handed posted countwheel bell striking movement with column-turned corner uprights and resting on integral spikes fitted to the underside of the baseplate, the trains both with offset greatwheels each pivoted between a post attached to the baseplate opposing lug fitted to the one of the frame uprights, the going with anchor escapement incorporating solid ºttery brass' escape wheel and regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike sounding on a bell mounted above, the 10 inch square brass dial with iron hands and fine symmetrical scrolling tulip engraved centre issuing from a stylised urn to lower centre and incorporating flamboyant signature Lawrence Debnam, in Froome Fecit to upper margin, within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, the dial plate engraved with the names Jam: Delanc and John Sentance along with the date 1675 beneath the chapter ring at two o'clock, the angles applied with winged cherub mask cast and pierced spandrels, the ebonised pine case with triangular pediment and architectural frieze over fixed glazed dial aperture and conforming rectangular side windows to the formerly rising hood, the trunk with convex throat moulding and 43 inch rectangular door, the plinth base with ogee mouldings to upper edges and on moulded skirt, 221cm (87ins) high. Literature: The current lot is documented in Darken, Jeff (editor) TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 as exhibit 5 pages 30-33 (where the movement and dial is extensively illustrated). Lawrence Debnam is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in Frome, Somerset in 1643 and was working from Cheap Street in the town from at least 1667 and is thought to have died in 1682/3. The presence of James Delance's signature beneath the chapter ring suggests that he was also involved in the making of the current lot. James Delance is recorded by Loomes as born in Downton, Wiltshire in 1655, he is believed to have learnt the clockmaking trade from Lawrence Debnam prior to moving to London in 1677 where he was admitted as a Free Brother to the Clockmakers' Company the following year. Delance remained in London until 1685 when he left the city and returned to Frome where he set up business in Cheap Street - probably succeeding Debnam who died in 1683 at the age of 40. By 1721 Delance had moved to Downton, Wiltshire and was still working in 1736. John Sentance appears to be unrecorded as a clockmaker although it could be considered possible that he was responsible for the remarkable engraved decoration to the centre of the dial. The current lot employs and escape wheel made from work-hardened ºttery brass' formed by hammering a cast solid disc prior to cutting of the teeth. This creates a wheel much more resilient to wear however this process makes it difficult to cross it out hence why it is left as a solid disc when fitted. It is perhaps appropriate to speculate that the current lot is probably one of the earliest West Country clocks to be fitted with anchor escapement with seconds pendulum; as such the maker(s) may have sought to experiment with the metallurgy of the escape wheel in order to ensure longevity of this new technology. This very rare feature appears to have been subsequently used by James Delance (see following lot) and it is testament to both makers that these wheels are still serviceable after over three hundred years of use. The layout of the trains suggests that when originally conceived the current lot was intended to have a duration of thirty-hours, however the maker chose to complete the clock with eight-day continuance and facilitated this by incorporating offset greatwheels each pivoted between a post attached to the baseplate opposing lug fitted to the one of the frame uprights. The frame uses typical 'Bristol' one-piece lantern castings but dispenses with the finials and feet substituting the latter for steel spikes - a feature typical of the early Somerset clocks. Another 'West Country' detail present in the current lot is the keyhole shaped aperture cut into the lower edge of each of the movement pivot plates. The reason for these is unknown however they may be have been intended to allow slight adjustment/tight fitting of the integral locating lugs into the baseplate. The remarkable dial of the current lot is perhaps one of the finest examples of the fully developed Bristol and West Country style made fashionable by makers such as John London of Bristol during the kid 1670's. Indeed the engraving can be compared to a dial by London illustrated in Darken, Jeff (editor) TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 on page 38 (exhibit 7 in the exhibition). The exuberant signature is extraordinary in its confidence and execution as such is extremely effective in expressing the pride and individuality of the maker. It is also highly likely that the current lot is the earliest surviving dated provincial clock to have an anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum. Indeed the early incorporation of this refinement may be one of the principal reasons why the dial is apparently inscribed by all those involved in its making.

A George III mahogany longcase regulator William Hewlett, Bristol A George III mahogany longcase regulator William Hewlett, Bristol, circa 1785 The four pillar eight-day single train movement with bolt-and-shutter maintaining power and deadbeat escapement regulated by seconds pendulum with heavy lenticular bob, the 12 inch square silvered brass dial with shuttered winding hole and signed William Hewlett, Bristol to centre beneath brass ring bordered panel incorporating sector with Roman numerals for the hours within outer sweep Arabic five minute track, the case with swan neck pediment superstructure over moulded cornice, plain frieze and glazed hinged dial aperture flanked by columns with brass caps and bases, the trunk with concave throat moulding over caddy moulded rectangular door, on plain plinth base with bracket feet, (movement with possible alteration), 209cm (82.25ins) high excluding later finial. William Hewlett is recorded in Moore, A.J. The Clockmakers of Bristol 1650-1900 as working in Bristol circa 1775-97. Evidence in the movement plates would suggest that the current lot was originally made with a subsidiary seconds dial positioned within the area now occupied by the brass ring enclosing the hour sector. This possibility is further supported by the fact that the hour sector is cut into a separate circular plate inserted into an aperture in the dial with the brass ring serving to conceal the join. Interestingly the hour disc (fitted behind the sector aperture) is made form a piece of recycled brass as the rear is engraved with a lantern clock dial centre signed for John Culliford of Bristol. The fact that the current lot was originally made to display minutes and seconds only would suggest that it served to test the timekeeping of watches, hence was probably made as the 'shop regulator' for Hewlett's own use. The conversion to show hours was probably done early in its life to make it more appropriate for subsequent usage.

A fine inlaid oak architectural floor-standing lantern clock case Unsigned A fine inlaid oak architectural floor-standing lantern clock case Unsigned, possibly Bristol, circa 1700 The hood with inverted breakfronted dentil moulded open-centred shallow arch tympanum incorporating geometric parquetry decorated blocks to frieze flanking infill panel inlaid with triple spire motifs over triangular arched aperture bordered by pilaster uprights flanked by shouldered pilasters incorporating panel inlaid plinths, the sides with conforming articulated dentil cornice over double line banded panel, the trunk incorporating Roman Doric column mouldings with capital inset with rosettes to frieze over rectangular double line banded door set within the frame of the case and conforming complex pilaster base, the sides with further double line banded panels, on plinth base with geometric band to upper surface of the complex top mouldings over diagonal star inlaid front and generous skirt base, 217cm (85.5ins) high ; with an incomplete lantern clock, attributed to Benjamin Willoughby, Bristol, circa 1700 , the two-handed posted countwheel striking movement with anchor escapement, finely detailed one piece 'Bristol' pattern uprights with integral finials and feet, and domed bell bearer (lacking dial, frets, doors, backplate, one finial, pinion of report for countwheel, weight and pendulum), 33cm (13ins) high, (2). According to the vendor the incomplete lantern clock included in the current lot was formerly fitted with an unusual dial signed for Benjamin Willoughby, Bristol. The dial was apparently matted with an engraved rose at the centre and applied with a Roman numeral chapter ring; regrettably it appears that this dial has now been lost. Benjamin Willoughby is recorded in Moore, A. J. THE CLOCKMAKERS OF BRISTOL 1650-1900 as apprenticed in London to Robert Dingley in 1676 before moving to Bristol where he worked from Small Street presumably until his death in 1709. The highly unusual architectural form of the hood of the lantern clock case in the current lot can be compared to that of a three-month longcase clock by Thomas Tompion residing in the collection of the British Museum (Museum number 1958,1006.2159). The movement of this Tompion longcase is numbered 132 which would date it to around 1688, however the dial incorporates an arch engraved with a bust of Queen-Anne. This suggests that the dial plate was altered along with the hood during the first decade of the 18th century. From this it would be appropriate to speculate that the current lot also dates to the first decade of the 18th century due to the strong stylistic similarities between the two. In addition to the complex architectural pediment to the hood the trunk of the current lot also incorporates accurately observed Roman Doric column mouldings which again demonstrate a high degree of architectural enlightenment by the maker. The inlaid decoration is unusual being very laborious in its execution requiring the surface to be cut back and sections inserted.

A Fine German Renaissance gilt brass and iron hexagonal table clock Stamped... A Fine German Renaissance gilt brass and iron hexagonal table clock Stamped with initials M L , mid to late 16th century The posted twin fusee movement with pinned iron-capped brass spring barrels concealed between two horizontal plates in the base beneath posted frame with four fine slender double baluster turned uprights, the going train now with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum swinging to the rear, the strike train set behind the going train incorporating twin-arbor warned release and sounding the hours via a vertically pivoted hammer on a bell mounted on top of the clock, the exterior with moulded cornice and geometric panel decorated frieze over twenty-four hour dial with stylised bird and fruiting foliage engraved centre within punch-stamped Arabic numeral chapter ring with touch pieces to the moulded outer margin, set over a shaped scribed panel enclosing further scrolling foliate and centred with a winding square, the sides with twin panel doors engraved with standing figures of Adam and Eve to the right and a pair of allegorical females to the left, the angles with conforming vertical geometric bands and the rear engraved after Hans Sebald Beham with Christ standing on a globe and holding the standard of the crucifixion beneath dove emblematic of the Holy Spirit, the lower margin with small panel decorated with a reclining female, the plinth base with complex moulded dado over foliate engraved panels centred with roundels featuring four profile busts to the sides and indistinct armorial crest to the front incorporating the stamped initials M L , on conforming moulded skirt incorporating leaf engraved ogee moulded foot, (alarm mechanism removed), 22cm (8.625ins) high. Provenance: The beneficiaries of the Estate of an Italian connoisseur collector of horological artefacts and works of art. The current lot can be compared to an example illustrated in Tardy LA PENDULE FRANCAIS, 3'me Partie: Provinces et Etranger on page 314. The hexagonal form echoes that of contemporary French examples however differs in the that trains are laid out with the strike behind the going rather than the usual French system of having one above the other. The use of iron for the wheelwork would indicate a date prior to 1580 although the inclusion of brass for the walls of the spring barrels would suggest that the clock was made closer to 1580 than 1550. The strike train also incorporates twin-arbor warning which although is known to have been in use by around 1480 (see Leopold, J. H. The Almanus Manuscript ) seems to have been rarely adopted until the introduction of the English lantern clock in its fully developed form in around 1600. The rear of the clock incorporates an engraved view of Christ standing on a globe holding the standard of crucifixion with a dove emblematic of the Holy Spirit above. Typically such decoration was often copied from a contemporary engraved source - in this case an engraving executed by Hans Sebald Beham in 1546. The panels to the sides of the case are probably also copied from similar sources however these have yet to be identified. The base also incorporates an armorial crest to the front panel, unfortunately wear and degradation to the surface now renders this crest indistinct however closer examination and specialist research may result in the family for whom the clock was made to be identified.

A William III brass lantern clock William Holloway, Stroud A William III brass lantern clock William Holloway, Stroud, circa 1685-90 The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with separately wound trains and verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum positioned outside 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 flowerhead positioned just above six o'clock and with signature William Holloway, Stroud to upper margin, with iron hand within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised wheatear half hour markers and engraved leafy infill to angles, the generous London-style third period frame with one-piece column turned corner posts beneath armorial pierced frets, vase turned finials and domed bell bearer, the sides with hinged brass doors and the rear with iron hanging hoop over a brass backplate (in unrestored condition, lacking alarm, top finial and with replaced frets ), 35.5cm (14ins approx) high. William Holloway is recorded in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers as the son of the clockmaker John Holloway born in 1732 at Market Lavington, Wiltshire. In 1658 he moved, along with his father and younger brother Richard, to Stroud in order to take-on the workshop of the recently deceased John Snow. Holloway was married to Hester Hieron in 1664 and continued working until his death in 1694. William Holloway had three sons one of which, John, continued the business in Stroud after his death; the other two, William and Arthur, moved to London to pursue the trade in the capital. William Holloway was a confident, accomplished and relatively prolific maker who used distinctive castings for his frames which appear almost unique to the Holloway family. His early clocks (1661 to circa 1680) used castings loosely based on the London second period style but were one-piece (i.e. finials and feet were cast integral with the posts) with tall slender finials capped by distinctive acorn turnings. Three examples by Holloway with this type of frame are illustrated in White, George English Lantern Clocks on page 246 (Figures V/78-80). The second type of frame used was much more akin to the standard London third period pattern but again employed one-piece castings and appeared to be short-lived as they are only seen on clocks dating to the first five or six years of the 1680's (see White, page 247, Figure V/81). The third pattern was again based on London third period practice but was much more generous with distinctly bulbous swellings to the finials and feet, two clocks with this type of frame are illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers pages 207 and 209 Figures 13.8 and 13.13. Other traits of Holloways work include the continued use of separate winding for each train long after most other makers had adopted Huygens' single-weight endless rope system. Clocks with separately wound trains are characterised by having hour bell hammers positioned to the right hand side of the movement. Loomes suggests that Holloway may have continued this practice as it allowed straightforward disablement of the strike train by simply removing or not winding the strike weight. Another unusual feature peculiar to Holloway was that he often used four wheel trains in order to give a longer duration. The current lot is a typical of Holloway's final phase of work with generous bold castings and London-style tulip engraving to the dial centre. Unusually the clock is not dated but on stylistic grounds alone it can be placed within a couple of years of 1690.
