An early forged iron domestic Ôgreat chamber clockÕ Unsigned, German/Swiss, mid 16th century The two train movement with forged wheels, lantern pinions and wooden winding barrels with English style sprung clicks to the great wheels, the two-wheel going train with verge escapement regulated by foliot balance complete with cursor weights, the strike train with external fly, nagÕs head lifting and shaped cam for overlift fitted to the arbor of the second wheel driving the countwheel mounted to the rear for the frame (via teeth cut to the inside of the rim) for controlling the hours sounded via linkage to a hammer pivoted within a bearer above, the frame constructed with riveted lap joints, fitted with lower corner braces to right hand side and inverted Y shaped hammer linkage to the left, raised on four splayed feet pierced for securing, the 19 x 15 inch single handed rectangular painted iron dial with circular aperture and gilt starburst to centre within gilt painted Gothic Roman numeral chapter ring and floral painted decoration to spandrels, the lower margin now bearing the later date 1754, the frame 42cm (16.5ins) wide, 48cm (19ins) deep and 59cm (23ins) high, the clock 88cm (34.5ins) high overall. The current lot can be compared to a similar example sold at SothebyÕs 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, and a third sold 22 February 2011, lot 255. The presence of a dial suggests that the current lot was designed to be installed where it could be seen perhaps high up within the ÔGreat HallÕ of a substantial house. The movement is also perhaps a good example the earliest layout of a striking timepiece to become standardised throughout most of Europe. Indeed the Salisbury Cathedral clock is almost identical in basic layout and specification (albeit on an entirely different scale) with the only significant difference being the fact that overlift for the locking detent in the strike train is achieved using a shaped cam cut with a notch rather than an incomplete hoop fixed to the rim of the second wheel. This difference in method for providing overlift appears to be a regional characteristic with clocks made in central Europe mainly utilising a shaped cam whilst makers in north western Europe preferred to use a hoop.
