The design of the current lot can be compared to that of an electric pendulum mantel clock patented by Thomas John Murday in 1908 and manufactured by the Reason Manufacturing Company Limited, Brighton illustrated in Shenton, Alan and Rita THE PRICE GUIDE TO CLOCKS 1840-1940 on page 416 (figure 243). Another related mantel timepiece was sold at Sotheby's New York MASTERPIECES FROM THE TIME MUSEUM PART FOUR, VOLUME III on 14th October 2004 for $2,040. Such mantel timepieces are particularly rare as Murday soon went on to develop models using balance wheel regulation for which he obtained another patent in 1910. The current lot may be unique and is offered with file of correspondence which includes an old photograph of probably the same clock (or possibly an identical second example).
An unusual George II brass mounted ebonised balloon-shaped table timepiece John Hallifax, London, circa 1750 The four pillar single fusee movement with circular plates and verge escapement regulated by 10.75 inch pendulum with large pear-shaped bob, the 8 inch circular brass dial with shaped silvered plate engraved Jn'o: Hallifax, Fleet Street, LONDON to the matted centre within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track and pierced steel hands, in a waisted arch-shaped case with generous cast brass pineapple finial to the concave-sided upstand over full-height brass fillet inset glazed front door with aperture following the shaped of the case, the sides with applied tall brass-edged panels, the rear with plain rectangular door, on ogee moulded shallow skirt base with brass bracket feet (generally distressed), 48cm (19ins) high excluding finial; 54.5cm (21.5ins) high overall. Provenance: The estate of a connoisseur collector of regional furniture, works of art and clocks. John Hallifax is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Fleet Street, London until his death in 1758. The case of the current lot can be described as a precursor to the standard Regency ºlloon-shaped' bracket clock which became popular during the first quarter of the 19th century and can be compared to a fine gilt brass mounted tortoiseshell veneered example housing a quarter chiming movement by Justin Vulliamy in the Royal collection (illustrated in Jagger, Cedric ROYAL CLOCKS page 88, fig. 121). This design probably evolved from the typical French Louis XV waisted form of which an 'English' version, housing a slightly earlier quarter-chiming movement by John Hallifax, is illustrated in Nicholls, Andrew, English Bracket and Mantel Clocks on page 90 (fig. 24). Please Note: Please note: Evidence in the dial plate (four spare holes) indicates that the current movement is not original to the dial and case.
