Footnotes:Provenance:Private French Collection;Weschler's Auctioneers, Rockville, Maryland, 20 February 2015, lot 213, (USD 76,000);Estate of Guy Martin, Jr., by inheritance from:Edith Kingdon Gould (1920-2004); Kingdon Gould, Sr. (1887-1945);George Jay Gould I (1864-1923).Related Literature:Peter Fuhring, Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier, Un génie du rococo 1695-1750, 1999, pp.175-179.J.Aronson, Encyclopedia of Furniture, 3rd Edition, 1965, p.220A. Pradère, Les ébénistes Français de Louis XIV à la Révolution, Paris, 1989, p.134, fig. 96.The horloge de parquet presented here belongs to a small group of at least two other related horloges de parquet called 'à la lyre' known at the present time. The most celebrated one being originally in the collection of the 18th century painter Charles-Antoine Coypel, who became premier peintre du roi after his father's death in 1722, and Director of the Académie Royale in 1747. In the sale following the death of Charles-Antoine Coypel in 1753, lot 579 was recorded as : 'Une pendule à secondes qui donne l'heure du temps vrai, la course du soleil, le jour et la date de la semaine, le mouvement est de Monsieur Claude Martinot et la caisse de Monsieur Meissonnier'. During that sale, it was purchased by the eminent French horologist Julien LeRoy, who then resold it a few years after. This horloge is presently conserved in the collection of the French group AXA, in the Hôtel de la Vaupalière in Paris. It is interesting to note that the case is described as being conceived by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (1695-1750) who must have designed this horloge de parquet circa 1725-27. The complicated astronomical movement of the Coypel horloge de parquet is signed 'Claudius Martinot / invenit, et fecit.' and dated 1727. The second related horloge de parquet, stamped by François Duhamel was sold on 9 July 1931 at Christie's London. Very much similar in form, the Christie's horloge shares the same if not identical sea monster pierced stylised shell motif to the lower section as our horloge, as well as the lyre ormolu cords, but with a few other differences in the ormolu scheme, and without the bust depicting Louis XIV found on our horloge. Both ormolu groups to the top of the movement cases differ from each other, our horloge is headed by a group depicting Diana the huntress, while the Coypel's example is mounted with a group depicting 'Amour et Psyche' and the Christie's clock stamped by the ébéniste Duhamel (maître ébéniste in 1750) is headed by a group of cherubs playing. It is conceivable that Duhamel was fascinated by the earlier and very innovative Meissonnier's lyre-shaped design and decided to reproduce it a few decades after, since his maîtrise dates from 1750. Christie's 1931 horloge was most probably later on in the French & Co. collection, as illustrated in J.Aronson, Encyclopedia of Furniture, 3rd Edition, 1965, p.220. The horloge was subsequently sold at Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, 9 October 1971, lot 147. And most probably the same one sold again at Bonhams New York, 24 April 2013, lot 1143. The Duhamel stamp is equally present alongside that of Balthazar Lieutaud on a related régulateur conserved in the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris. However, more Louis XV in treatment, another two almost identical models as the one in the Musée des Arts et Métiers are stamped respectively Jacques Dubois and attributed to Jacques Pierre Latz, showing the difficulties of attributions and of the paternity of the designs and makers. An 18th century engraving reproduced here (Bibliothèque de l'Ensba, 22620, f.43) depicts the model of our horloge de parquet, with only minor differences. Unfortunately, the border of this design is slightly cut out, therefore no inscription, signature nor engraver is visible. It is however plausible to assume that the engraving could be that of Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier, before 1727, as his name is mentioned in the sale description of the horloge sold from the Coypel sale. Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (1695-1750), born in Turin, was a goldsmith, sculptor, painter, architect and most of all a furniture designer. He owes his extravagant decorative style to his italian origins and mastered the flamboyant style of rococo like no one else. Meissonnier worked his whole life in Paris where he became appointed by Louis XV as Dessinateur de la chambre et du cabinet du roi. His books of design: Livres d'ornements en trente pièces, and Ornements dela carte chronologique are conserved in the collection of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. The ormolu group of Diana the huntress which is on our horloge above the clock case appears to be a group often used by Charles Cressent (1685-1768) on other pieces of furniture he has executed, as on the pendule Crozat, and on various cartonniers attributed to him. Cressent was known to have designed and produced his own ormolu mounts for his furniture; this upset some of his fellow ébénistes as well as the corporation of the fondeurs-ciseleurs and for this reason, he had constant problems with the corporations and was sued various times.Known to excel in the manufacturing of longcase clocks, Cressent produced related cases to the horloge de parquet here presented, such as the Régulateur de parquet veneered in bois satiné, amaranth and parquetry, with its ormolu Chronos cresting in the English Royal Collection (RCIN30035), illustrated in A. Pradère, Les ébénistes Français de Louis XIV à la Révolution, Paris, 1989, p.134, fig. 96. The only present estampille on our horloge de parquet is that of E.J.Cuvellier. A rather unknown ébéniste whose stamp is found only on a few pieces of furniture, some of them being important. Not mentioned in 1953 on the Salverte book of Les ébénistes du XVIIIème siècle, Cuvellier has been more recently discovered to have worked d...

It will require a service as the plates are dirty and the oil sinks show old oil now darkening. Seatboard is a replacement. It is 32mm thick in oak.The case: this has been subject to restoration in the past. The backboard is 95% complete. Overall it has been repolished and little of the original patina remains. Some reveneering. Cheeks reduced slightly. Incorrect use of a polish to the internal carcass. Door hinges replaced. Long lateral carcass crack to panel door on right-hand edge. Cleat shrinkage damage at top and bottom with each area having replaced veneer panel which is decorated to match the marquetry. Unusually the original oval cut-out for the glass has been removed and an oak panel of matching grain has been inset, whilst the front side has an oval marquetry inlay which is a very close match to the rest of the door. It was well done and appears very old work. Marquetry base plinth has a lateral crack. Plinth moulding is not original nor are bun feet. Overall losses and repairs to veneers and marquetry.
A WALNUT, SEAWEED MARQUETRY STRIKING LONGCASE CLOCKThe dial inscribed Robert Sly, King Street, Westminster, early 18th century and laterThe hood with later swan-neck pediment above a square glazed panel door, flanked by fluted columns and Corinthian capitals, above a panelled door inlaid with three outlined marquetry panels, on a stepped base with marquetry on moulded base; the 12in square brass dial, with crown and twin cherub spandrels, silvered chapter ring, enclosing a matted centre with seconds subsidiary, the twin train movement with four knopped and finned pillars, with anchor escapement and strike on a bell (movement and case associated, case substantially restored and with altered elements, the chapter ring associated)238 cm high overallProvenanceChristie’s, London, 6 December 2006, lot 75.Robert Sly is recorded as apprenticed in 1707 and as a member of the Clockmakers' Company in 1720. He was working in King Street, Westminster. 1 pendulum. 2 winding keys. 1 case key. The clock has been subject to ‘restoration’ in the past. This would benefit possibly from some consolidation: however, it’s very much subject to personal preference.Taking the clock from the top:The swan-neck decoration to the hood is later, as is the rectangular marquetry panel between the glazed door and pediment. The walnut fillets to the dial edge are probably replaced if one considers the movement associated. A piece of veneer from the lower right side of the hood is loose, also other veneer losses to the left side. The pillars and capitals to the door are not period. The cheeks do not seem reduced. There is a badly filled carcass crack to the marquetry above the panel door, also some associated damage to the left and right side panels. The marquetry door has a filled repair to the top and the bottom which is due to the door cleats drying. The hinges are replaced and should be iron. Both sides are likely to have been reveneered. The backboard runs complete to around 12in from the floor with another old board filling most of the remainder, with the grain running horizontally. The back of the backboard has had a wash put on it. From the rear, the construction and mouldings look period. The plinth side veneers look old. The 5/8in. slip at the base is later. The movement is rack striking with four turned pillars. It appears in good order. There are two filled holes and a vacant hole visible to the back of the dial which evidences the chapter ring being changed. The present chapter ring does not cover the dial maker’s score line. The spandrels have been changed and previous drilled holes for these are filled and re-drilled. It appears to be be clean and well cared for: however, we would suggest a service. The seatboard is oak but not the original. An interesting Camerer Cuss label fixed to it is dated 1964.

George I offered him the post of the King's watchmaker; however his Quaker faith made him unable to swear an oath of alligence. Nevertheless the King told him that he could visit at any time, so his nickname 'Quare of the back stairs' was coined as the Yeoman of the Guard were instructed that he could only use the back stairs.His commercial success can be measured in part from the guest list of his daughter, Anne's wedding, which included envoys from many of the Royal houses of Europe.The case has been subject to restoration. It is repolished. The upper part of the hood may have some reconstruction which is well done. The frets are replaced. The door hinges have modern screws. The hinges are likely replacements, of the correct type. Old screw holes for each butt on the inner edge of trunk. The plinth has been rebuilt. The backboard has a replacement part at this point. Possibly moulding around the trunk door is replaced. The movement is dirty and will require a full service.There are two brass bound weights and the pendulum.
A WILLIAM AND MARY WALNUT AND MARQUETRY LONGCASE CLOCKBy John Greenhill, Maidstone, circa 1695The hood with a moulded cornice above a fret with glazed panel below, flanked to each side by turned handed columns, with a quarter-column to the back, the trunk inset with a panel door with three bordered marquetry panels cut with abundant flowers, scrolls and birds, centred with a glazed aperture, the inside of the door with an engraved silver presentation panel dated 1961, the base with conforming panel, on bun feet; the 11in square brass dial with cherub head and foliate spandrels, silvered chapter ring, signed John Greennhill, Maidston Fecit (sic), enclosing a matted centre with rose engraved centre, seconds subsidiary, harboured winding holes and calendar aperture above the six, the twin train movement with five knopped and finned pillars, anchor escapement and internal countwheel strike on a bell203cm highJohn Greenhill III, recorded 1655-1712. Pearson states Greenhill was a man of some substance in Maidstone for, in addition to being in business as a gunsmith and clockmaker, he was a member of the Corporation and had substantial land holdings.COMPARATIVE LITERATURE:Michael Pearson, Kent Clocks & Clockmakers, Ashbourne 1997, p.71.Two brass cased weights and its pendulum. The clock was running before consignment and has been carefully maintained. It is in very good condition.The case has been the subject of some sympathetic restoration, mainly to the base. The sides of the base may be reveneered and each has a slight vertical crack, due to carcass movement. Some of the banding to the marquetry base panel seems replaced. There is an old repaired crack laterally across the base marquetry. This is fairly usual and indicates originality. There is a small amount of ‘repainting’ on this area. The trunk door hinges appear original. The lock is a brass replacement. The seatboard cheeks have not been reduced. There are nail holes (square handmade nails) to the inner side of each cheek and the surface of the oak board here is not so oxidised. The seatboard is possibly replaced. The fret panel to the hood is a replacement. The backboard is 90% complete.In summary a charming clock which presents very well.
