A rare Italian brass grande sonnerie striking lantern/chamber clock Unsigned, early 18th century The substantial posted frame with finely turned `Doric` column posts, vase finials and compressed bun feet, enclosing three train movement with verge pendulum escapement mounted on the top plate, central train striking the quarters on two bells via a countwheel mounted between the front two movement plates, and third train striking the Italian six-hour notation every quarter on a third bell (hammers and linkages incomplete), the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with applied six-hour Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword-hilt half hour markers and outer minute track and replaced winged cherub head spandrels to angles, the arch with domed boss engraved Gloria Mundi Sta transit flanked by dolphin cast mounts, (lacking pendulum and weights), 42cm high overall. DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ printed in the sale catalogue or available from the auctioneers on request. The movement of the current lot demonstrates a high degree of skill in both the working out of the complex system of striking (and how to lay out the trains in an efficient manner) and in the high level of finish (from the crisp architecturally accurate turning of the frame down to the finely detailed fettling of the steelwork). The six hour dial and related striking mechanism were a throw-back to the monastic roots of Italian timekeeping, where the day was divided according to prayer times and started at midday. By the mid 18th century most of Italy had adopted the twelve hour system used throughout the rest of Europe. The inscription Gloria Mundi Sta transit engraved to the boss in the arch of the dial translates as `Thus passes the glory of the world`. This phrase was traditionally spoken as part of the Papal coronation ceremony, with the newly installed Pope being stopped three times during his procession and confronted with this phrase as a reminder of the passage of time.

A brass lantern clock 17th century and later The posted countwheel bell-striking movement now with dial engraved with a winged female mask and foliate scrolls issuing from an orb around a rosette to centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with arrow-head half hour markers and calendar aperture at 6 o`clock, the lower angles bearing signature Bilbie ChewsSoke, with first period pattern foliate pierced frets and bell housed in a domed bearer above, with iron backplate and on ball feet, (side doors lacking, composite), 37cm (14.75ins) high. DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ printed in the sale catalogue or available from the auctioneers on request. Provenance: The family of the late Ernest Hucker, The current lot is illustrated in Moore, Rice, and Hucker BILBIE and THE CHEW VALLEY CLOCK MAKERS page 179. The dial of the current lot can be directly compared with an example described as a type often found `on modern forged lantern clocks` illustrated in White, George English Lantern Clocks page 452.

A fine Charles II brass lantern clock John London, Bristol, circa 1675 The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with early conversion to anchor escapement, the dial centre with characteristic tulip engraving and signed John London in Bristoll in flowing script to upper margin, within an applied narrow Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised wheat sheaf half hour markers and engraved radial designs to angles, the frame with one-piece finial, post and feet castings, ‘lion and unicorn’ armorial frets and bell contained within the domed bearer above, (lacking pendulum and weight), 42cm (16.5ins) high. DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ printed in the sale catalogue or available from the auctioneers on request. Provenance: The property of a private collector. Illustrated and discussed in Loomes, Brian Lantern Clocks pages 178-81 John London is first recorded gaining his freedom of the City of Bristol as a gunsmith on 2nd June 1675, on August 10th 1678 he married Mary Baker otherwise relatively little is known about his life. He is perhaps best known for being the first Bristol based maker of longcase clocks of which a handful of eight-day movements and one complete thirty-hour example survive. His work is highly distinctive with generous use of brass and exuberant engraving. When his sole surviving complete thirty-hour clock (exhibited TIME & PLACE English Country Clocks 1600-1840 The Antiquarian Horological Society at The Museum of the History of Science, University of Oxford, 25th November 2006- 15th April 2007 exhibit number 6) is compared with the current lot, striking similarities become apparent. Firstly the same frame castings are employed with the only differences being the finials which are turned down to buttons on the longcase and the feet which retain small extensions in the castings. Secondly the movements closely compare exhibiting the same details such as heavily tapered arbors, fly castings and unusual keyhole shaped decorative cut-outs to the bases of the movement plates. Finally the dial engraving, which are clearly by the same hand and possibly executed by London himself. Both dial centres are decorated in the same manner with large scale foliage and flower heads incorporating the unusual detail of parallel line with broken line infill to the petals. This detail is further explored to create the precisely scribed radial decoration to the angles of the dial of the current lot. These details appear to differ slightly from other known longcase and lantern clock dials by London which tend to exhibit smaller more intense but perhaps less precise foliage without the dotted parallel line decoration. A lantern clock by London signed Axford beneath the chapter ring is known suggesting that London sub-contracted some of his dials to an outside engraver. However the precision and confidence demonstrated in the dial of the current lot perhaps is perhaps reflective of London’s training as a gunsmith.

A Charles II brass lantern clock Unsigned, circa 1660 The posted countwheel bell-striking movement with separately wound trains and reinstated verge escapement with brass balance wheel, the dial engraved with central rose and four symmetrically arranged sunflower heads within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with trident half hour markers, the `Lothbury` type frame castings with vase finials and ball feet beneath `dolphin` frets and bell contained within a domed bearer above, (lacking weights), 38cm (15ins) high. DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ printed in the sale catalogue or available from the auctioneers on request. Provenance: The estate of a private collector. The engraved decoration to the dial on the current lot is perhaps a little unusual being of symmetrical layout. However it is boldly executed with confident deep cuts into the dial plate in a manner similar in feel to some mid 17th century London work. The frame castings are of typical `Lothbury` pattern, used during the second period (1640-60) and early third period in London (as described by George White in his 1989 publication English Lantern Clocks).
