A FINE AND RARE CHARLES I BRASS 'FIRST PERIOD' LANTERN CLOCK OF LARGER PROPORTIONS ATTRIBUTED TO THE WORKSHOP OF WILLIAM BOWYER, THE DIAL SIGNED FOR CLAUDIUS MALBRANCK, LONDON, CIRCA 1630The trains now with endless-rope winding on chains and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike train sounding the hours on a bell mounted above the frame via an iron countwheel with overlift provided by a hoop wheel cut with a single slot, the dial finely engraved with stylised hatched foliate scrollwork laid out in a quartered design to centre, within applied 6.375 inch narrow silvered Roman numeral chapter ring incorporating slender cruciform half hour markers, with fine substantial sculpted steel hand and foliate engraved infill matching that of the centre occupying the quadrants with the lower flanking signature Claudius Malbranck engraved to the bottom margin, the frame with finely turned generous Doric column corner posts beneath distinctive shouldered vase 'cup and cover' finials with cavetto waists, the front and sides applied with symmetrical scroll pierced cast brass armorial frets with the front incorporating foliate engraved detail including grotesque dolphin masks, beneath domed bell bearer capped with a conforming slightly larger vase finial, with brass side doors and the rear with iron backplate, on turned tapered 'acorn' feet.40cm (15.75ins) high, 15cm (6ins) wide, 18.5cm (7.25ins) deep. Literature:Illustrated and described in Bruce, W.F. EARLY ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCKS 1600-1700, Lewes 2013, pages 16-17 with a detail of the dial on page 6. Claudius Malbranck is noted in Loomes, Brian Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as most probably the original owner of the present clock with the surname Malbranck (sometimes Malbranq) being that of French Huguenot (Walloon) family who lived in London at least 1628-35. Bill Bruce and John Hooper in EARLY ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCKS 1600-1700 also note that Malbranck was most likely the original owner and, suggest that the current clock was almost certainly made by William Bowyer. Perhaps the most obvious single piece of evidence to support attribution to Bowyer is the design of the frets used. Although they appear to be outwardly similar to those used on other, smaller, clocks they are almost unique with the only other known example to have matching castings being a clock made by Bowyer for the Brewers' Company clock of 1632 which was sold at Bonhams, London, sale of FINE CLOCKS 16th December 2020 (lot 77) for £56,500. In addition to the frets used, the dial engraving of the Brewers' clock also exhibits notable similarities with that of the current lot with foliate designs executed in quartered segments. Another clock by Bowyer, this time made for the Earl of Rothes, (see White, George English Lantern Clocks page 44, Figure II/5) also has very closely related engraving by the same hand. George White likens this rare style of engraving to that seen on contemporary silverwork and provides an image of a lid of a silver casket attributed to Jan Gerritsz in support of this observation (page 68, Figure II/58). Incidentally the Earl of Rothes clock was also sold by Bonhams, London, in their sale of FINE CLOCKS 11th December 2019 (lot 68) for £43,812.50.In addition to the frets and dial engraving the movement has many features typical of Bowyer's work, most notably the 'hump' cast into the rear movement bar left hand arm to allow for the locking detent arbor pivots, finely executed wheelwork with tapered arbors, decorative blade hammer spring opposing a very substantial stop and iron countwheel. The frame utilises the same casting as the Earl of Rothes clock and is very finely finished with precise turnings and canted filed edges to the bell support straps. William Bowyer is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as the son of Ralph Bowyer (yeoman of Warfield Berkshire) who is believed to have been married to Alice Mansworth in 1590. William was probably born around this time and by 1616 was a member of the Pewterers' Company when he took-in Thomas Taylor (son of Ralph Taylor, a milliner from Halesowen, Shropshire) as an apprentice. Bowyer took-in no less than five further apprentices prior to the formation of the Clockmakers' Company in 1631, including John Pennock (son of William Pennock of Guisborough, Yorkshire) in 1620. Although he subscribed £5 towards its charter and was made free of the City in 1630, William Bowyer did not apparently join the Worshipful Company on its establishment the following year.Bowyer is thought to have been first married to Margery Barlow of Litchfield, Staffordshire, however, by 1631 he was married to Prudence with whom he had five children (three of which sadly died in infancy). By 1638 Bowyer was living in the parish of St. Andrew Undershaft, he took-in Joseph Jackson (through Thomas Dawson) as apprentice that year and during the following decade took-on at least four more, this time through the Clockmakers' Company. One of these apprentices was Nathanial Allen (probably around 1641/2); Allen subsequently married a Phillipa Bowyer in 1646 hence became related to William through marriage.In 1640 William Bowyer was invited to become an Assistant of the Clockmakers' Company, however it appears that he was reluctant to serve the Company as in July 1642 he gave 'a great chamber clock' in return for excusal from any further duties. Nevertheless he became an Assistant in 1651 and a Warden in 1653 the year of his death. The present clock is particularly notable in that it has survived in fine, original untouched condition. At some point the original verge escapement and balance has been substituted for anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum and the winding converted to Huygens's design with an endless chain. Most importantly the latter has not resulted in the strike train being reversed, this has been achieved by adding a very discreet small intermediate wheel to the going train front movement bar, between the pinion of report and the hour wheel. Otherwise the clock is very much the same as when it would have left the Leadenhall Street workshop of William Bowyer but with light wear and the build-up of patination resulting in very pleasing mellow colouring that can only come with age.

A GERMANIC RENAISSANCE FORGED IRON WEIGHT-DRIVEN CHAMBER CLOCKPROBABLY SOUTH GERMANY OR SWITZERLAND, CIRCA 1600The frame with substantial square section corner posts riveted to the square top and bottom plates enclosing separately-would three-wheel trains with two-pieced forged wheels with rims jointed to the crossings, the going train with verge escapement regulated by tall-rim balance wheel oscillating above the top plate beneath the bell, and the strike train with twin-arbor warned lifting, locking enabled via a slotted cam applied to the second wheel arbor, and countwheel driven by pinion of report to the greatwheel arbor engaging with teeth cut to the inside wheel rim, sounding the hours via a vertically pivoted hammer on a bell mounted above the top plate, the ogee-arched rectangular painted iron dial secured to the frame via hooks, painted with star-centred Roman numeral chapter ring over subsidiary minute dial annotated with Roman numeral quarters, with iron hands and decorated with rose blooms over scroll borders onto a deep maroon/brown ground, the frame surmounted with bell supported within four-legged bearer applied with flowerehead motifs; with a later oak wall bracket incorporating a platform on slender bracket supports applied to an ogee-top back panel, (alarm mechanism no longer present).The clock 28cm (11ins) high, 11cm (3.375ins) wide, 14cm (5,5cm) deep; the clock on bracket 33cm (13ins) high overall. A clock of related design is described and illustrated in Robey, John Gothic Clocks to Lantern Clocks, Short-Duration Clocks & Rural Clocks 1480-1800 pages 69-72. The provision of warning to the strike train was slowly adopted during the closing years of the 16th century hence the present lot probably most likely dates to the early years of the 17th century (although it is possible that the second warning detent assembly was added early in the clocks life). The fact that the frame posts are rivetted to the top and bottom plates has necessitated the strike detent front pivots to incorporate removable dovetail inserts to allow full disassembly of the movement without breaking the frame apart. 

AN ENGLISH BRASS LANTERN CLOCKTHE DIAL BEARING A SIGNATURE FOR PETER CLOSON, SECOND HALF OF THE 17TH CENTURY AND LATERThe posted countwheel bell-striking movement with Huygens endless rope winding and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum swinging beyond the frame to the rear, now with dial plate engraved with a band of scrolling tulip blooms to centre, with iron hand within applied narrow 5.75 inch Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised cruciform hour markers, the angles engraved with leafy infill and the lower margin with text Peter Closon Nere Holborn Bridge, the frame with column turned corner posts beneath twin dolphin and scroll pierced frets, shouldered vase turned finials and domed bell bearer, on turned tapered feet; with an oak wall bracket constructed with a table supported with two ogee-outline brackets mounted onto a shaped pendant back panel.The clock 38.5cm (15.25ins) high, 14.5cm (5.75ins) wide, 18cm (7ins) deep including crutch; the clock on bracket 60cm (23.5ins) high overall. The core of the present clock appears to date to around 1675 with unusual decorative turnings to the arbors. Evidence in the top plate suggests that the movement was originally made with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum swinging behind the frame to the rear. This coupled with Huygens' endless rope winding would suggest a date of around 1675-85 for the movement. The dial is engraved in the mid 17th century style and is commensurate with Closon's work however it is most likely mid 20th century and purpose-made for the current lot.
