A fine and rare William III small ebonised thirty-hour longcase clock Samuel Aldworth, Oxford, circa 1690 The five finned pillar outside countwheel bell striking movement with Knibb-type pendulum suspension incorporating butterfly nut pendulum regulation, separate shaped cock for the pallet arbor and pallet shaped aperture in the backplate, the 9.75 inch square brass dial with finely pierced and worked blacked steel hands and finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer track, the angles applied with cherub head and foliate scroll cast spandrels, the dial plate signed Sam. Aldworth Oxonia fecit to lower edge, the case with ogee moulded cornice above original Knibb type fret and twist turned integral pilasters to the originally rising hood, the trunk with remnants of the original movement securing bracket and raised hood retention catch to backboard, the convex moulded throat with original heart-shaped spoon catch for locking the rising hood above 43 inch trunk door inset with an oval lenticle, on plinth base with moulded skirt (case with repair to trunk door and consolidation to exterior of base), 198cm (6ft 6ins) high. THIS DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ PRINTED IN THE SALE CATALOGUE OR AVAILABLE FROM THE SALEROOM ON REQUEST. Provenance: Part of a private collection, Gloucestershire, acquired between the wars thence by descent. Samuel Aldworth was apprenticed to John Knibb of Oxford in 1673 shortly after John had taken over the Oxford business of his brother Joseph, who had left for London in 1671. After completing his apprenticeship in 1680, Aldworth continued to work in the same workshop as journeyman until 1689 when he left to set up on his own. In 1697 he moved to London (the same year that Joseph Knibb retired to Hanslop) setting up business in the Strand. In 1703 he married Elizabeth Knibb (thought to be daughter of John) and by 1720 he had moved to Childrey, Oxfordshire. The current lot would have been one of the first clocks made by Aldworth after he had left the workshop of John Knibb to set up on his own in 1689. Features such as the pendulum suspension, separately cocked pallet arbor and butterfly nut regulation adjustment demonstrate a direct influence from his master. The dial is also closely comparable to those found on longcase clocks originating from Knibb, and the case was almost certainly supplied by his casemaker.

A George II eight-day longcase clock movement and dial David Lestourgeon, London, circa 1730 The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and calendar aperture to the matted centre within an applied Roman numeral chapter ring with lozenge half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, the angles with female mask and scroll cast spandrels beneath herringbone-bordered signature boss David Lestourgeon, London flanked by dolphin cast mounts to arch, 42cm (16.5ins) high to top of arch. THIS DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ PRINTED IN THE SALE CATALOGUE OR AVAILABLE FROM THE SALEROOM ON REQUEST. There appears to be three generations of the Lestourgeon clockmaking family recorded working in London from the end of the 17th century onwards. David Lestourgeon was a Huguenot immigrant from Rouen who settled in Spitalfields around 1781, his son also called David became brother of the Clockmaker Company in 1798 who in turn took in his son again called David as apprentice in 1704 who was not made free until 1721. The current lot was probably made by the youngest member of the family who was thought to have been working up to 1751.

A fine George I brass mounted ebonised quarter chiming table clock of impressive proportions Simon DeCharmes, London circa 1720 The substantial ten pillar triple fusee movement (plates measuring 10 by 9 inches) chiming the quarters on eight bells and striking the hours on a further bell, the backplate profusely engraved with Ho-Ho bird inhabited foliage, the 10 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar and false bob aperture signed S. De Charmes, London within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track, the angles with female mask and scroll cast spandrels beneath regulation dial calibrated 0-60 flanked by dolphin mounts to arch, the case with brass ball-and-spire finials to the brass edged inverted bell top above carrying handles and brass edged break-arch windows to sides, the front with conforming brass surround to dial aperture and upper quadrants, on moulded base with brass ogee bracket feet, 69cm (2ft 3ins) high excluding top finial. THIS DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ PRINTED IN THE SALE CATALOGUE OR AVAILABLE FROM THE SALEROOM ON REQUEST. Simon DeCharmes was a French Huguenot immigrant clockmaker who became a Free Brother of the Clockmakers Company in 1691. His work can be directly compared with that of his contemporary Claude DuChesne with both makers being particularly well known for producing highly decorative clocks usually playing music or with other complications such as long duration. There are at least two clocks known where DuChesne has supplied the movement to DeCharmes including a fine walnut three month duration quarter-repeating longcase clock which was sold in these rooms on the 9th September 2009 (lot 102). Simon DeCharmes is known to have been working in London up to around 1730 when it thought that he may have returned to France. The current lot demonstrates DeCharmes no expense spared approach to clockmaking, the massive movement with no less than ten pillars was clearly made with the intention to fill what is in essence an oversized case. The form of the case with its applied brass mouldings (particularly the aperture surrounds to doors and side windows) are typical of those used to house movements by DeCharmes during the latter years of his career in London. Other oversized table clocks are known, particularly from the Windmills Workshop (a walnut clock of large proportions was sold in these rooms 21st March 2007 lot 403), another example by George Graham with a rectangular dial was formerly in the Iden collection. It is probable that such clocks were either made simply to impress or to be utilised in a semi-public context where the use of a longcase clock would be problematic.

A fine Queen Anne walnut and Arabesque marquetry longcase clock of one month duration James Beverley, London circa 1710 The four finned pillar movement with anchor escapement, five-wheel trains and unusual hour striking mechanism utilising a pinned countwheel mounted on the frontplate driven by a two-leaf pinion against a sprung detent to gather the wheel, the 12 inch square brass dial with foliate engraved calendar aperture, ringed winding holes and subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre within an applied Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and signed Jam. Beverley, London to lower edge, the outer track with Arabic five minutes and the angles applied with twin cherub and crown pattern cast spandrels, the case with ogee cornice and foliate fret frieze above foliate trail decorated door applied with conforming marquetry decorated integral columns, with rectangular side windows and conforming quarter columns to rear angles of the hood, the trunk with concave throat moulding and rectangular door centred with a lenticle, on a plinth base with later applied skirt (part of original structure beneath) and bracket feet, the whole elaborately decorated with bird and grotesque inhabited foliate strapwork designs in various woods on a light ground within elaborate repeating foliate borders, 217cm (7ft 2ins) high. THIS DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ PRINTED IN THE SALE CATALOGUE OR AVAILABLE FROM THE SALEROOM ON REQUEST. James Beverley is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as being apprenticed to Robert Doore in June 1684 and released (but not freed) 1691.

A William and Mary walnut and Arabesque marquetry eight-day longcase clock Samuel Stevens, London, early 18th century The five finned-pillar outside countwheel bell-striking movement with 11.875 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and decorated calendar aperture to the foliate scroll engraved and matted centre within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and cruciform quarter markers to the narrow Arabic five minute outer track, the lower edge signed Sam. Stevens, London the angles with winged cherub head and foliate scroll cast spandrels with engraved infill between, in a case with marquetry fronted dome caddy above blind fret frieze and integral columns with well cast brass capitals and bases to the foliate trail decorated hood door and rectangular side windows to hood, the trunk with concave throat moulding above rectangular door with brass edged lenticle and plinth base with original moulded skirt, the whole profusely decorated with birds and grotesques within foliate strapwork in various timbers on an ebony ground within conforming repeating borders, 236cm (7ft 9ins) high. Provenance: The Property of a Gentleman of title. Purchased by the vendor`s family from Christie, Manson & Woods, 9th December 1897, the catalogue entry is pasted on the inside of the trunk door: 301 AN OLD ENGLISH CLOCK, by Sam. Stevens, London, in upright walnut wood case of marqueterie, elaborately inlaid with birds foliage and arabesques of a lighter coloured wood -8ft 4in high. From New Monckton Hall where it was at the time of Charles I`s visit before Marston Moor. From the Collection of Lord Walter Scott. Samuel Stevens senior is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as being freed from his apprenticeship to Edward Stanton in 1679, he was known to be working from Grub Street in 1682. He took his son, also called Samuel, as an apprentice in 1699 who in turn was freed in 1706/7. Details in the movement and dial such as the outside countwheel striking mechanism and engraving between the spandrels suggests perhaps a slightly old fashioned approach at this time indicating that this clock was almost certainly made by Samuel Stevens senior. When the current contents of Sir Walter Scott`s library at Abbotsford are considered it is clear that he had a passion for artifacts with historic associations. Memorabilia from his collection includes Nelson`s pen case and blotting paper, Rob Roy`s purse and skene dhu, a lock of hair from both Bonnie Prince Charlie and Nelson, Flora MacDonald`s pocket book, the inlaid pearl crucifix that accompanied Mary, Queen of Scots to the scaffold, a carriage clock once owned by Marie Antoinette, and housed in his armory an assortment of weaponry including Rob Roy`s broadsword. The current lot, when considering its (erroneous) `provenance` to New Monckton Hall at the time of Charles I, could well have been perceived as a worthy addition to Sir Walter Scott`s collection.
