A late 17th century lantern clock in an oak freestanding caseWilliam Raynes, YorkThe delicately strapped bell with five turned finials between three dolphin and floral frets above four slender tapered pillars and two side doors (with slots for the pendulum) on ball feet, with iron hoop to the top plate and spikes below. The 6.25 inch silvered Roman dial, with fleur de lys half-hour markers and single blued steel hand to the Yorkshire rose engraved centre, signed above VI Will Raynes in Yorke. The movement driven by a chain and weight with verge escapement, the pendulum mounted centrally between the trains and swinging through the door slots, countwheel strike on the large bell. Contained in a 17th century oak floorstanding case of pegged construction and excellent colour. Together with two lead weights. 40cms (15.5 ins) highFootnotes:William Raynes was born near Helmsley in Yorkshire in 1638. In 1653, he was sent to London as an apprentice of the clockmaking brothers William and Ralph Almond, being freed in 1660 or 1661. Raynes remained in London, establishing himself in Butcher Row, East Smithfield; all the extant clocks from this London period are lantern clocks. In 1676, he is still listed as living in London, though by 1682 or 1683 he appears to have moved to York; he was certainly there by 1687, in which year he was made a Freeman of the City. Two of his lantern clock dials are very similar, not only to each other, but also to a dial on a clock by Thomas Cruttenden, another York clockmaker, and it seems likely that both Cruttenden and Raynes used the same engraver. William Raynes died in a riding accident on 28th December 1694. There are three lantern clocks and three longcase clocks signed William Raynes in York, one of the longcase clocks having been sold by Bonhams in 2014. This particular lantern clock has very short collets for the wheels, the collets themselves being integral to the arbor, a practice that was popular among very early London lantern clockmakers. The frets and the centre of the dial are engraved almost exactly the same as the other two lantern clocks by Raynes, and one by Cruttenden, with a York rose in the centre and ferocious looking dolphin/sea monster frets. One of these similar clocks may be seen in Lantern Clocks & Their Makers by Brian Loomes, Figure 18.9, pg. 320.For further reading, see Loomes, B. (2017) 'William Raynes of London, York and elsewhere' Part I and II, Clocks Magazine, Vol. 40 (April, May), pgs.9-13.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Together with a later wall bracket, a large, cylindrical lead weight, sales invoice from 1974 and a copy of Moore, Rice and Hucker 'Bilbie and the Chew Valley Clockmakers', 1995. 43cms (17ins) highFootnotes:Provenance: Purchased by the vendors mother from Meyrick Neilson Ltd, Tetbury, April 1974'..Lantern Clock by Edward Bilbie, Somerset. £1,200. 'The Bilbie family's horological contribution spanned the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Edward Bilbie (I) was born around 1666, he began his working life as a bell maker in Chew Valley and went on to add clocks to his repertoire circa 1694, possibly after attaching himself to the famous Webb family of horologists. The current clock is featured on page 234 of its accompanying book, Bilbie and the Chew Valley Clock Makers. It is signed Edw Bilbie fecit, which makes assigning it to a particular Edward Bilbie difficult, as all four generations of Edward are known to have signed clocks in this fashion. It is further complicated by the fact that, outside urban areas, clocks would not follow the same fashion trends as those made in cities. It is known as well that birdcage movements would be used on clocks after the 1790's in the Chew Valley. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Secured in the case with twin hinged latches at the base, and an L-shaped bracket to the left. Ticking and striking, together with a case key. 41.5cms (16ins) highFootnotes:Edward Stanton ('Staunton' is also occasionally seen) was born around 1641 and was apprenticed in December 1655 to Francis Bowen, a journeyman of William Bowyer. Stanton was later apprenticed to Nathaniel Allen in 1658, before he was freed through the Clockmakers Company around 1662/3 soon taking his own apprentices, including Stephen Wilmot and William Cattell. He became Master of the Company in 1697 and served until 1707. He probably died in 1715. As well as a clockmaker, he was also an engraver; in January 1673/4 he was accused of engraving Robert Seigniour's name on a clock made by Henry Jones, though no action was ever taken against him. In 1694 he was one of the original subscribers to the Bank of England and deposited £100.He seems to have been friends with the fellow clockmaker John Ebsworth and oversaw that his will was carried out on his death. He made a number of clocks including a turret clock for the Royal Exchange in 1671 as well as spring driven clocks, standard lantern clocks, miniature lantern clocks, longcase clocks, and a particularly rare night clock sold in these rooms in December 2007.No definitive Parish records have been discovered for Edward Stanton which may indicate he was a nonconformist. The above information has been gleaned from the Clockmakers Company records and Loomes, B. (2009) 'Edward Stanton and his Lantern Clocks', Horological Journal, Volume 151(01), pgs. 14-17.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
