He was apprenticed to Reid and Auld of Edinburgh and was admitted to the Clockmaker's Company as a Free Brother in 1822. Around this time McCabe entered into a short-lived partnership with Strahan (probably Charles who gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1815). From 1826 James McCabe managed the business alone from 97 Cornhill until 1838 when he was forced to temporarily relocate to 32 Cornhill due to a major fire at the Royal Exchange. It was at this time (1825-43) that Thomas Cole worked for McCabe before setting up his own to produce distinctive and highly decorative timepieces in his own unmistakable style. The business was subsequently continued by Robert Jeremy until his retirement in 1883. Condition Report: Movement is relatively clean working condition and appears all-original; the pendulum holdfast screw is lacking.

The business continued under successive generations until around 1890; they are credited with supplying clocks for Napoleon III in 1852 and 1854 (Chateau des Tuilleries). Cailleaux was the principal supplier of 'Pendule de Paris' clock movements to Deniere who were registered as working from Rue du Temple in Paris between 1842 and 1870. The design of the case of the current clock appears to be loosely based upon a 'Pendule de Chemonie, allegorie de la geographe' by Morlay, as illustrated in Verlet, Pierre LES BRONZES DORE FRANCAIS de XVIIIIe siècle (page 245).Condition Report: The movement appears to be complete and in original condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The trains are fully wound; the going train will beat but is prone to stopping, the strike train is operational, the mechanism is generally somewhat dirty/neglected hence a gentle clean/service is probably all that is required. The dial has some very slight chipping to the right hand winding hole otherwise appears to be in fine original condition. The case has overall patchy grime/discolouration/tarnishing to the gilding hence would benefit from a skilled clean. The laurel wreath mount (normally applied to the right hand side) is presently detached but undamaged. The marble has minimal edge chipping.Clock has a non-original pendulum and winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Movement otherwise is intact and appears fundamentally original. The dial is a little dirty/discoloured and the ferrules lining the winding holes are a little worn otherwise appears undamaged; the minute hand has been repaired. The case is generally in good original condition with faults essentially limited to some chipping to the porcelain bordering the dial (only visible on close examination).

The mounts retain their original gilding albeit with some edge wear and spotting.Candlesticks appear free from damage and present as in similar condition (with regards to wear, discolouration and build-up of grime) to the clock.Clock has a pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM IV ORMOLU MOUNTED EBONISED MANTEL CLOCK IN THE LOUIS XV TASTEBARWISE, LONDON, CIRCA 1830The five-pillar twin chain fusee bell-striking movement with keyhole-shaped plates and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the backplate with pendulum holdfast and signed Barwise, LONDON to centre, the 5 inch circular gilt brass Roman numeral dial with fine foliate scroll engraved centre and signed BARWISE, LONDON over number 670 to the chapter ring beneath SILENT/STRIKE selection switch to upper margin, with blued steel cruciform hands set behind hinged leaf-cast reeded gilt brass bevel-glazed bezel, the waisted case with surmount of a putto seated on scallop shell applied to the ogee-shaped upstand, over front applied with rococo scroll cast crest and shoulder mounts over floral spray decorated leafy cartouche to apron, the rear with keyhole-shaped door inset with foliate scroll-pierced sound fret flanked by conforming mounts to shoulders, on rococo scroll cast feet decorated with floral buds to knees.47cm (18.5ins) high, 24cm (9.5ins) wide, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep. The life of John Barwise and his family are outlined by A.D. Stewart in his article Barwise & Sons: Watchmakers to the King. A brief history of family and firm published in the March 2014 issue of ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY (Vol IIIV No. 1 pages 621-34). Stewart notes that John Barwise was born into a clockmaking family in Cockermouth, Cumberland in around 1756. By 1780 he had moved to London where he opened a watch retailing business. Ten years later he married Elizabeth Weston with his address being recorded as 29 St. Martin's Lane where he remained until his death in 1820. Of their eleven children two (possibly three) died in infancy and two, John II (born 1795) and Weston (born 1793), subsequently joined their father in the family business. In 1800, such was his success, John Barwise I purchased a second house in Dulwich.In 1805 John Barwise I was one of the fifteen watchmakers appointed by The Board of Longitude to adjudicate in the dispute between John Arnold and Thomas Earnshaw regarding 'the respective merits of their chronometers'. On the 14th February 1811 Barwise was the victim of five highwayman who relieved him of a 'gold watch, greatcoat, and a guinea-and-a-half in cash' whilst en-route from Camberwell to Dulwich. This unfortunate occurrence may well have tempered Barwise's enthusiasm for his house in Dulwich as records indicate it was rented out to tenants by 1813. In around 1816 his sons, John II (who had just turned 21) and Weston, joined him in partnership with the business then becoming 'Barwise & Sons'. Shortly afterwards (probably in 1820) the firm obtained the Royal Warrant as watchmakers to King George IV.John Barwise senior died in 1820; by this time he was a wealthy man leaving two properties and substantial investments to his widow and children. The business was continued by Weston and John II in partnership, however this only lasted six years as Weston died in 1826 leaving the business in the hands of John II alone. It was at this time that John II married and moved from the family home at St. Martin's Lane to nearby 42 Craven Street; and then in 1840 to a spacious residence called East Lodge, near Acton which at that time was in open countryside. At around the same time John Barwise II entered into an alliance with the highly inventive Scottish Clockmaker Alexander Bain who was in the process of developing the first electric timepiece. Barwise and Bain subsequently filed a patent (No. 8743) for an 'Electro-Magnetic Clock' which was granted in January 1841; an example of which was then subsequently exhibited at the Royal Polytechnic Institution shortly afterwards.In 1842 John Barwise II was approached by Pierre Frederic Ingold (1787-1878) to assist in the creation of a watch factory which, by employing newly invented machinery, would be able to mass produce high quality watches at a much smaller cost than the prevalent hand-built movements available at the time. Barwise, along with Thomas Earnshaw junior, subsequently became managing directors of the newly established 'British Watch and Clockmaking Company'. The factory was established at 75 Dean Street but only lasted two years before closing due to financial difficulties mostly brought-about by poor reputation fuelled by pressure from rival watch component makers to whose livelihoods the factory posed a great risk. It would appear that John Barwise II had invested most of his personal wealth in the venture as he was declared bankrupt in 1846. With this he lost his house, East Lodge near Acton, but still managed to keep the business afloat - perhaps mainly due to the generosity of his father-in-law, Charles Baumer, who provided the family with a house at 7 Queen's Row, Camberwell rent free presumably until Barwise was back on his feet.In 1853 another former business Barwise partner the Calcutta retail Jeweller Robert John Lattey returned to London and became founder and auditor of the 'London & Eastern Banking Corporation'. With the resources of the Bank behind him Lattey (trading as Lattey and Company) took-on Barwise's debt and became owner of the business. It was at this point that John Barwise II stepped back from the firm with the overall management passing to the to the Swiss watchmaker, Jules Rochat who had joined the business in 1847. Unfortunately the situation did not improve under Rochat's tenureship as it subsequently transpired that the funds used to purchase the business were illicitly acquired, and in 1857 the London & Eastern Banking Corporation collapsed.After the 1857 liquidation of Lattey and Company the firm was acquired by the jeweller and Goldsmith Douglas Guillaume Cave and continued, again under Jules Rochat's management, until 1869 when bankruptcy again forced the company to change hands. The firm was subsequently continued under the Barwise name in the hands of several different owners up until 1988 with their last known address being 153 Fenchurch Street. Of John Barwise II, he is recorded in the 1861 census as being a 'chronometer maker out of business' and presumably still resided at 7 Queen's Row, Camberwell until his death in 1869. 

A LARGE GROUP OF CAST CLOCK BELLSANONYMOUS, 17th CENTURY AND LATERComprising two lantern clock bells, twelve domed thirty-hour clock bells, seven shallower thirty-hour clock bells, five smaller bells possibly appropriate for eight-day longcase clocks, and ten table or mantel clock bells, (34).The largest 15cm (6ins) diameter. 

A FRENCH EMPIRE ORMOLU FIGURAL MANTEL CLOCK UNSIGNED, PARIS, EARLY 19th CENTURYThe circular countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum incorporating silk suspension, the circular silvered Roman numeral dial with radial engine-turned centre and steel moon hands set within gilt repeating floral bloom decorated bezel, the case emblematic of the sciences cast with a standing figure of a female in Empire dress reading a book standing beside a pedestal housing the clock movement surmounted by a small bookcase applied with a classical bust, a further stack of books and drawing instruments, the front relief decorated with twin winged female terms flanking a flaming lamp beneath the dial, and the left hand side with free-standing engine-milled column surmounted by a celestial globe, the plinth base fronted with large relief cast panel depicting two putti observing a globe, on leaf moulded skirt base with block feet cast with anchor motifs.44.5cm (17.5ins) high, 31cm (12.25ins) wide, 11cm (4.25ins) deep.Condition Report: Movement is complete and appears all-original. The going train will just about beat, the strike train is currently inoperative most likely due to grime and the countwheel being loose on its arbor, the mainspring however appears sound. The dial has overall discolouration/wear to the silvering, the numerals are heavily rubbed and the tip of the hour hand is missing. The case is complete and retains original gilt finish to the castings with only light rubbing to the high spots and edges. The flat areas to the platform tops, sides and rear have become evenly tarnished/discoloured. The 'bookcase' mount to the surmount is loose on its fixing (screw needs tightening from beneath which requires the movement to be removed). The protractor is also loose (lacks securing nut) and the rear left hand foot is also loose (lacks fixing bolt and nut).Clock has a pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE FRENCH LOUIS XV STYLE PATINATED AND GILT BRONZE MANTEL CLOCK 'PENDULE A L'ELEPHANT' THE DIAL INSCRIBED FOR MASSON, PARIS, THIRD QUARTER OF THE 19th CENTURYThe circular eight-day two train bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum incorporating Brocot type regulation to suspension, the backplate stamped with A.C within a circle over serial number 2453 to upper left, JAPY FRERES Et CIE, G'DE MED, D'HONNEUR roundel to centre and further number 5 2 to lower edge, the 4.25 inch slightly convex circular white enamel Roman numeral dial inscribed Masson, AParis to centre and with generous Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track, the scroll-pierced gilt brass hands set behind hinged convex glazed guilloche scroll cast bezel, the case modelled in the manner of Jean-Joseph de Saint Germain or Jacques Caffieri with a gilt figure of Cupid holding aloft his bow set on billowing clouds surmounting the patinated bronze drum housing the movement incorporating hinged glazed rear cover matching that of the front and gilt flowering foliage to sides, over support modelled as a stylised elephant with its trunk aloft fitted with rococo scroll cradle for the movement on its back incorporating gilt saddle strap around its waist, standing on a naturalistically cast gilt base incorporating large flowerheads and rocaille scrollwork.41cm (16.25ins) high, 31cm (12.25ins) wide, 18cm (7ins) deep. The distinctive and particularly attractive design of the current lot is closely based upon mid 18th century models by the Bronziers Jean-Joseph de Saint Germain (1719-87) and Jacques Caffieri (1678-1755). The signature for 'Masson, AParis' is almost certainly a 'decorative' addition no doubt intended to add a further degree of visual authenticity to the clock (by giving impression that the clock was possibly made by Denis Masson a leading Parisian clockmaker active 1744-78). An apparently identical example (albeit with a signature for Pierre Lieurtier, Paris) was sold at Christies, New York sale of The Collection of David and Peggy Rockefeller: English and European Furniture, Ceramics and Decorations, Part II 10th May 2018 (lot 663) for $47,500.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and original. The going train will 'beat' the strike train is operational however is sounding continuously when released hence there is a problem with the gathering of the rack (requires adjustment or possibly a new gathering pallet - either way a routine repair for an experienced clockmaker). The dial is in very fine condition with no visible chips or cracks other than a tiny 'gnats bite' adjacent to the regulation square above the XII numeral. The case is in fine condition with no apparent faults. The elephant has had some slight water-based iron-red wash highlights applied as an attempt to soften the surface sheen a little; these can easily be rubbed-off revealing medium pewter/brown patination which is best described as being a little thin in places. The guilloche scroll cast bezel has received similar attention but this time to deaden some edge rubbing to the patination.Clock is complete with pendulum and winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
