The current lot can be compared to a similar lot sold at Sotheby`s, New York MASTERPIECES FROM THE TIME MUSEUM, PART FOUR, VOLUME 1 13th October 2004, lot 500. A related but incomplete example was sold in these rooms on 6th September 2011, lot 113. The presence of a dial indicates that the current lot was designed to be installed where it could be seen, however the overall relatively large size of the frame suggests that it was made to furnish a large interior space such as the Great Hall of a substantial house. The design and layout of the movement with nag`s head lifting, shaped cam for overlift and teeth cut to the inside of the countwheel to the strike train is typical of Germanic practice of the second half of the 16th century.

Lot 136

A rare ebonised oak and pine `longcase` lantern clock case, Late 17th century. The hood with ogee moulded cornice above moulded rectangular door with external iron strap hinges, brass drop handle and moulded 9 by 7 inch aperture, the sides with simple rectangular doors with conforming hinges and handles, the trunk with ogee throat moulding above slender dual moulded panel inset door with three further external iron strap hinges (one replaced) and another brass drop handle, the structure continuing to from the base with brace applied below the trunk door and on later skirt, 193cm (76ins) high. Original `longcase` cases for lantern clocks are very rare, mainly due to the fact that lantern clocks were predominantly designed to hang from the wall. The construction of the current lot (often termed `pencil case`) with its slender trunk continuing to the floor reflects 17th century practice as early 18th century examples tended to resemble contemporary longcase clock cases more closely by incorporating a more developed hood and a wider section to form a plinth at the base. The mixed use of pine and oak in the current lot confirms that it was designed to take a painted finish (in this case ebonised). The simple hood side doors and external iron strap hinges are again perhaps 17th century features. Two related cases which are dated between 1660 and 1680 are illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers pages 370-1.

Lot 137

A fine Charles II lantern clock, Richard Ames, London, circa 1680. The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with verge escapement and pendulum swinging within the frame of the clock between the trains and additional passing half-hour strike mounted behind the dial, the dial engraved with signature Richard Ames Neere St. Andrews Church in Holburn fecit in a curve towards the upper margin of the dial centre and with foliate tulip decoration to lower margin, with original iron hand and applied narrow Roman numeral chapter ring with wheatear half hour markers, the standard London third period `Lothbury` frame with column turned posts beneath dolphin engraved and pierced frets, vase turned finials and domed bell bearer, the side doors cut with slots to allow for the swing of the arrow shaped centre pendulum, the rear with iron hanging loop, on ball feet, (alarm removed), 38cm (15ins) high. Richard Ames is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as being born circa 1634, he was apprenticed to Peter Closon in 1648/9 and gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers` Company in 1656/7. He was made Assistant in 1669, Warden 1676-81 and was elected master in September 1682 only to die the following month. His widow Katherine perhaps assisted by their son, William, continued the business until at least 1692. He had many apprentices, the most significant of which perhaps being John Ebsworth (Freed Apr. 1665) who became a fine maker of lantern clocks in his own right. The work of Richard Ames is discussed in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers pages 127-134 where two very similar clocks to the current lot are comprehensively described and illustrated (figs. 9.5-11). All of these three examples share the same unusual features (passing half-hour strike and separately wound trains), and can be compared to another illustrated in Darken, Jeff and Hooper, John English 30 Hour Clocks pages 47-50 which only differs in not having passing half-hour strike.

Lot 139

A Queen Anne brass lantern clock, Thomas Reeve, Harlstone, early 18th century. The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with anchor escapement and dial signed Tho. Reeve, Harlstone to the symmetrical foliate scroll engraved centre within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and original steel hand, with foliate pierced frets and vase turned finials beneath domed bell bearer above, with brass side doors, rear hanging hoop and spurs to the turned ball feet, 40cm (16.75ins) high. Thomas Reeve appears to be unrecorded, however another clock by him stylistically dated to around 1690 is illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers page 248 where he is noted as being a goldsmith. The style of the engraving to the dial centre can be closely compared to an example by Thomas Moore of Ipswich illustrated by Loomes on page 244, suggesting that the current lot can be stylistically dated to around 1710.

Lot 140

A Queen Anne `wing` lantern clock, John Crucefix, London, early 18th century. The posted countwheel bell-striking movement now with pin-wheel escapement with adjustable pallets, the dial engraved with signature John Crucefix, London within a band of foliate scrolls with iron hand and applied Roman numeral chapter ring with star half hour markers, the frame with column turned posts beneath foliate engraved and pierced frets, vase turned finials and domed bell bearer, the side doors fitted with shaped pendulum projections capped with further foliate pierced and engraved frets, the rear with iron hanging loop above iron backplate fitted with spurs, on ball feet, (lacking pendulum and weight), 35.5cm (14ins) high. John Crucefix is recorded in Baillie, G.H., Ilbert, C.A. and Clutton, Cecil BRITTEN`S OLD CLOCKS AND WATCHES AND THEIR MAKERS as being Free of the Clockmakers` Company in 1712. A similar example was sold in our Bristol, Apsley Road saleroom 2nd November 2004 lot 657.

Lot 141

A rare William III brass and iron lantern clock, Unsigned but probably by Richard Breckell, Holmes, Lancashire, late 17th century. The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with anchor escapement and iron movement plates, the dial engraved with a central five-petal rose within a loosely symmetrical tulip ground, with iron hand and applied narrow Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, the frame with square section iron pillars incorporating square caps and bases beneath foliate engraved and pierced frets, vase turned finials and domed bell bearer, the rear with iron hanging loop above iron backplate fitted with spurs, on ball feet (dial with cracks and losses to corners), 34cm (13.5ins) high. This highly individual and interesting lantern clock can be directly compared to and example inscribed Richard Breckell, Holmes Fecit illustrated and described in Loomes Brian ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers pages 309-11. Both examples share use of square section iron pillars and movement plates as well as a thin brass dial plate and traditionally fitted bell-bearer. The current lot also demonstrates a few further idiosyncracies, for example the use of separate winding clicks for the trains (rather than Huygens endless rope winding), resulting in the bell hammer being placed on the right hand side of the movement. Other features such as the finial castings which appear to be unique, and the backcock which is similar to those found on clocks by John Sanderson of Wigton are also noteworthy.

Lot 143

A William III brass lantern clock with ten inch square brass dial, Daniel Quare, London, circa 1695. The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with column turned corner uprights and now with anchor escapement, the 10 inch square brass dial with matted centre within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and signed Dan Quare, London to lower edge, with original steel hand and angles applied with winged cherub head and scroll cast spandrels, the frame with foliate pierced side frets and vase turned finials beneath domed bell bearer above, with rear hanging hoop and spurs to the turned ball feet, (lacking one side door and alarm) 40cm (16.75ins) high. Daniel Quare was admitted as Brother of the Clockmakers` Company in April 1671 and by 1683 he was working from Exchange Alley, London. He was selected as a member of the Court of Asssistants in 1698, later becoming Master in 1708. The following year he took a former apprentice, Stephen Horseman, into partnership which presumably lasted until Quare`s death in 1724. He was a fine inventive and commercially-minded maker who supplied clocks to significant European Royal and Aristocratic clients as well the Court of William III. As a Quaker, Quare refused an invitation from George I to be appointed `Royal Clockmaker` as his beliefs would not allow him to undertake the Oath of Allegiance, however an informal arrangement was agreed where Quare had open access to the palace via the back stairs. In addition to clocks, Quare is also famous for his `portable weather glass` or pillar barometer for which he sought a patent via the Clockmakers` Company in 1695. After his death in 1724 he was buried at the Quaker`s burial ground at Bunhill Fields.

Lot 151

An important Charles II walnut table clock, John Wise, London 1675-80. The substantial seven double-baluster turned latched pillar twin fusee movement with bolt-and-shutter maintaining power and striking on a bell mounted above the 9 x 6 inch movement plates via an outside countwheel and vertically pivoted hammer with fine scroll engraved `S` shaped top pivot potance, the large spring barrels with substantial blued steel turned set-up wheels and clicks mounted on the backplate with engraved John Wise, Londini fecit signature between, the 9 inch square gilt brass latched dial with calendar aperture and shutters engraved with male and female profile portraits to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll pierced blued steel hands and the angles applied with gilt winged cherub head cast spandrels with bolt-and-shutter lever slot between the lower two, the case of Knibb `phase I` design with foliate cast gilt hinged handle to the shallow dome above foliate scroll pierced fret to the upper rail of the front door, the sides with rectangular glazed apertures, on moulded base with later brass squab feet, (now with anchor escapement and later movement securing brackets), 37cm (14.5ins) high. Provenance: the property of a Gentleman, Oxfordshire. The current lot is a `family` piece which to the vendor`s knowledge has been in been in the family collection for as long as anyone can recall (at least three generations). John Wise senior is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as born circa 1625 and apprenticed to Peter Closon through T. Dawson in 1638, gaining his Freedom in October 1646. He apparently lived in Warwick 1653-68 where he repaired the clocks at St. Nicholas and St. Mary`s churches, the latter providing the venue for the baptism of three of his children. He moved back to London in 1669 where he was re-admitted to the Clockmakers` Company by redemption. He took many apprentices including no less than six of his sons; Richard (Free 1679), John (Free 1683), Thomas (Free 1686), Joseph (Free 1687), Peter (Free 1693) and Luke (Free 1694). He is thought to have been working from `neere the popeshead in Moorfields` in the year of his death in 1693. Although several early longcase and lantern clocks by John Wise senior are known, table clocks however appear to be extremely rare. Perhaps the best known example is an unusual single-handed timepiece is illustrated in Darken, Jeff HOROLOGICAL MASTERWORKS pages 82-3. Despite obvious differences, this timepiece does share some similarities with the current lot, for example the wheel-work has the same finned-collet design and the stopwork has the same pronounced disc cam to the fusee. The case also utilises the same highly individual casting for the carrying handle albeit in a more complete form. The movement of the current lot is of notably substantial construction, which although in itself is not particularly unusual for the period is noteworthy. The detail design and layout of the movement is perhaps more interesting in the way that it does not immediately conform with the prevalent Fromanteel/Tompion/Knibb and East/Jones schools of clockmaking. The backplate layout with its external clicks, positioning of the countwheel, and the way in which the movement is signed is perhaps more similar to a movement by Matthew Crockford (with altered dial and associated architectural case) which was sold at Sotheby`s London Important Clocks.. 13/10/1988, lot 211. The Crockford movement also shares the same number of movement pillars, has maintaining power, calendar aperture and is of similar dimensions. The double baluster movement pillars used on the current lot are similar in weight and detail to the single baluster design used by Edward East (see Dawson, Percy G., Drover, C.B. & Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks page 86, plate 106) but differ by being doubled to compensate for the greater relative distance between the plates. The vertically pivoted hammer used on the current lot is an unusual, perhaps archaic detail. The case very closely resembles those used by Joseph Knibb for his `phase I` clocks and can be directly compared to an example illustrated in Dawson, Percy G., Drover, C.B. & Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks page 418, plate 596.
