A brass and copper Victorian mantel clock, flanked on either side with ornate columns. Height 39 cm, width 22 cm, depth 14.5 cm.The movement winds on both trains.  It appears to be ticking away.  When the hands are advanced the clock does strike, however this is continuous, and it does not stop.  The strike hammer is missing the gong, but this should easily adjust.  The pendulum is present, and we have a key which is probably not original.  The case is complete with no losses, however the brasswork is generally tarnished and there is a lot of dust and dirt particularly around the columns and copper sections. The face is generally dirty and there are some minor losses to the paint work on the Arabic numerals.  Both doors are original and present.

AN ORMOLU AND BLACK MARBLE SMALL MANTEL TIMEPIECE IN THE MANNER OF BAETENSUNSIGNED, LONDON AND PARIS, SECOND QUARTER OF THE 19th CENTURYThe French-made circular eight-day single train movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the 3.25 inch circular engine-turned gilt brass dial with Roman numeral chapter ring and steel moon hands within a repeating lappet leaf decorated surround, the case with drum housing the movement cradled on honeysuckle decorated scroll supports, on black marble plinth base applied to a relief floral garland to front over cavetto moulded skirt and gilt engine-turned bell-shaped feet.19.5cm (7.625ins) high, 13cm (5.125ins) wide, 6.5cm (2.5ins) deep. Several models of this timepiece sharing the same castings, form and specification are known signed either by Joseph van Baetens, F. Baetens or just Beatens who were a family firm of bronziers who also produced timepieces. Working in a similar vain to the Vulliamy family they were based at 23 Gerard Street, Soho, and according to Baillie, G.H. (in Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World) were active around 1832. Condition Report: Movement appears complete and all original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The movement is dull/dirty but is essentially in working order hence a clean service is advised before putting to use. There is no evidence to suggest that a different movement was ever fitted to the dial hence we believe the movement to be original although it appears to be of French manufacture. The dial is in good original condition but with some slight oxidation most noticeably adjacent to the XII numeral. The case is in good original condition with fine strong gilding to and only a few minor edge/corner chips to the marble. Timepiece has a later pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A WILLIAM IV BOULLE MANTEL TIMEPIECE IN THE LOUIS XV TASTEPAYNE, LONDON, CIRCA 1830The circular four columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the twenty-five piece white enamel cartouche dial with convex centre inscribed Payne, 163 NEW BOND STREET, LONDON within chapter ring with enamel Roman hour numerals within rococo borders and conforming Arabic five minutes to the repeating rosette decorated outer track, with blued steel moon hands set behind hinged convex glazed cast brass bezel, the engraved foliate scroll cut glass and red stained shell veneered case with generous acanthus scroll surmount to the ogee-shaped upstand applied with conforming scroll mounts to angles, over generous shaped crest and panel decorated with delicate symmetrical scrollwork beneath the dial flanked by leafy shouldered mounts to front angles, the scroll-outline sides further inlaid with scrolling foliage and the rear veneered in kingwood incorporating a shaped door, on generous rococo scroll cast feet with leafy apron to front between.47.5cm (18.75ins) high, 26cm (10.25ins) wide, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep. William Payne first worked from 62 South Moulton Street, London from 1816. By 1825 he had moved to 163 New Bond Street with the firm becoming William Payne & Company at that address in 1852. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition although a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised. The mechanism appears free form visible alteration or noticeable replacements between the plates. The pendulum is not original and the evidence in the backplate (spare threaded hole to eh lower margin) suggests that a holdfast clamp was fitted at some point. The movement securing brackets are each lacking one (out of two) screws, and the fusee pivot has noticeable bush inserted within the backplate. The dial centre has some slight chipping around the winding hole as well as some slight scratching to the central ena,el roundel. The 'X' hour cartouche has an enamel chip to lower right hand margin and the '60' minute panel has a very small chip to the left hand edge otherwise enamel appears free form visible damage. The bezel glass is presently loose hence requires fitting (snapping into place?), the bezel itself is rubbed and generally discoloured/tarnished in appearance compared to the case mounts. The case is generally in fine condition with no noticeable losses to the brass marquetry and only slight localised fill repairs to the shell veneers to the right- hand side otherwise faults to the veneers are very much limited to minor movement and age-related blemishes. The mounts are nicely finished and retain their gilding with only very light wear/discolouration. The rear is in good condition with only a very small bruise to the edge of the door evident.Timepiece has a pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT BRASS AND CHAMPLEVE ENAMELLED SMALL MANTEL TIMEPIECE IN THE LOUIS XV TASTEUNSIGNED, PROBABLY PARIS, CIRCA 1900The circular eight-day single train movement with replaced platform lever escapement vertically planted on the backplate adjacent to stamped initials L.R opposing serial number 488, the 2 inch circular slightly convex white enamel dial with concentric polychrome floral swag painted garlands bordering the vertically orientated Arabic hour numerals, with scroll pierced and engraved pierced brass hands set behind a hinged engine milled cast convex bevel-glazed bezel, the case with rococo scroll pierced surmount to the ogee-shaped superstructure decorated in cobalt and sky blue with acanthus designs over conforming scroll crest and shouldered mounts bordering the fascia incorporating further blue foliate enamel infill beneath the dial, the sides with conforming serpentine-shaped enamel panels and the rear with circular glazed movement aperture within scroll relief cast surround, on integral scroll cast bracket feet with conforming shaped apron to front between.22cm (8.75ins) high, 11cm (4.25ins) wide, 6.5cm (2.5ins) deep. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition although a precautionary gentle clean/service is probably advisable if intending to put into long term service. As catalogued the escapement is a replacement. Dial is vert presentable but has some very light hairline cracks near 2 o'clock numeral, slight shipping at the centre and some very light surface scratches; all these faults are only visible on very close examination. Case is in very good condition with no noticeable losses or significant cracks/chips to the enamel, indeed damage is limited to only a couple of very slight surface defects and age-related blemishes only visible on close examination. The gilding is mostly worn away probably from historic cleaning and the rear cover does not 'snap' secure when it is closed.Timepiece has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A FRENCH LOUIS PHILIPPE ROSEWOOD CASED CARRIAGE CLOCKHENRY MARC, PARIS, CIRCA 1845The rectangular eight-day two train countwheel bell striking movement with gilt Jules type two-tier platform lever escapement regulated by helical sprung split bimetallic balance with wedge-shaped timing weights, the backplate stamped with H'Y MARC, PARIS oval trademark to centre over serial number 18752, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands, inscribed H'Y MARC, A PARIS to lower margin and set within geometric engraved gilt brass canted surround, the bevel glazed rosewood case with hinged brass baton carrying handle over rectangular top glass and ripple moulded cornice incorporating rounded angles, the front and sides with conforming glazed apertures and the rear with hinged door set within the frame of the case, on elaborate two-tier ripple moulded skirt base with shallow pad feet.21cm (8.25ins) high with handle down, 14.5cm (5.75ins) wide, 11cm (4.25ins) deep. Henry Marc is noted in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development as probably a retailer of various mantel and other small clocks and refers to a relatively early carriage clock (number 26886) supplied to Marc by Japy Freres. However the movement of the present clock can be closely compared to that of a clock by Jules illustrated by Allix and Bonnert on page 73 (Plates 11/47-48), this would strongly suggest that the mechanism for the current clock was most probably supplied by Jules. Condition Report: Movement is somewhat dirty/discoloured but will run and strike albeit lazily hence a clean/service is required. There is no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial has a filled chip to the upper left-hand corner otherwise appears free form visible defects. The case is in sound condition but shows evidence of having 'come apart' at the junction between the glazed sections and the base. Hence the case has been re-glued and pinned at this point hence some cracks to the veneers and slight surplus glue are visible. The right-hand side glass has a very small chip to the front lower corner (only visible on very close examination) otherwise glasses appear free from visible damage. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.Clock is complete with a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

The business was continued by his successors forming the partnerships 'Dwerrihouse and Carter' (1802-23); 'Dwerrihouse, Carter and Son' (1805-15); 'Dwerrihouse, Carter and Company' (1825); 'Dwerrihouse and Ogston' (1836) and 'Dwerrihouse Ogston and Bell' (circa 1840).  Condition Report: Movement is in reasonably clean working order, and appears complete and original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. A precautionary gentle clean/service is advised. The dial has some very light scratching around the winding holes and a couple of light spots to the silvering otherwise is in fine condition. Case is generally in very good condition with the only real notable faults being a chip/loss near the left corner of the cornice at the rear. The front and rear doors have slight veneer shrinkcage cracking and wear to the key escutcheon aperture for the front door (to the left and side) has been repaired by letting-in a small patch cut with a keyhole.

He was a credited as a watchmaker and inventor who specialised in producing novelty and mystery clocks for which he applied for a number of patents for designs. Amongst his other Patents was that for a bicycle where the driving chain was set below the seat. He is best known for his 'mysterieuse' figural clock with glass pendulum, this takes the form of a woman holding pendulum in her outstretched hand and arm over a marble base containing the clock below. The pendulum is impulsed by the mechanism underneath her that moves the figure imperceptibly from side to side.  Guilmet's industrial series of clocks, which includes the current lot, features automated clocks in the form of windmills, lighthouses, automobiles, boats, steam hammers, boilers, etc. A Guilmet 'quarterdeck' clock is illustrated in Roberts, Derek Mystery Novelty and Fantasy Clocks on page 225 (figs. 22-2 a-d); and another (number 1653) was sold in these rooms on 6th September 2022 (lot 92) for £9,500 hammer.

Japy expanded his business rapidly and by 1804, the year he was awarded the Legion d Honneur by Napoleon (in recognition for his Brevets in horological machinery), he employed 300 people at his manufactory in Beaucourt. From 1806, he took five of his sons into partnership and the firm expanded adding buildings at Badevel and La Feschotte amongst others to become one of the largest makers of clocks in Europe. The business continued into the Twentieth century but during the inter-war period went into decline and is thought to have finally wound-up in around 1940. A detailed history of Japy Freres et Cie is provided in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development chapter VI pages 133-48. Japy personally examined his best clocks and graded them accordingly, the current lot was inspected and set at 'A1' the best possible.

AN EARLY VICTORIAN MAHOGANY 'CHAMFER-TOP' BRACKET CLOCKJAMES MCCABE, LONDON, CIRCA 1840-45The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the backplate signed James McCabe, Royal Exchange, London to centre over pendulum holdfast bracket, the 6.25 inch arched single sheet silvered brass Roman numeral dial signed James McCabe, ROYAL EXCHANGE, London, 2221 to centre and with blued steel fleur-de-lys hands over subsidiary STRIKE/SILENT selection dial to lower margin, the case with shallow hipped stepped 'chamfer' superstructure over cavetto cornice and fluted frieze, the hinged front with canted silvered brass fillet insert to the glazed dial aperture flanked by canted angles, the sides with brass repousse ring handles over rectangular brass fish scale sound frets, the rear with rectangular glazed door set within the frame of the case, on moulded skirt base with squab feet.35cm (13.75ins) high, 23.5cm (9.25ins) wide, 18cm (7ins) deep. James McCabe junior succeeded his father of the same name was one of the most successful English clock and watchmakers of the 19th century. 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.From a list of serial numbers found of bracket and mantel clocks provided in Nicholls, Andrew English Bracket and Mantel Clocks (pages 66-67) the present lot would appear to date to around 1842. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean working condition although a precautionary gentle clean/service may be advisable. The bell is a replacement and the pendulum holdfast securing thumbscrew is missing otherwise movement appears complete with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial has a small scratch to the centre and overall noticeable oxidation to the silvering giving a pleasing mellow appearance otherwise is in fine original condition. The case is in fine condition with faults very much limited to a few very light surface bumps and bruises.Clock has pendulum, case key and a winder. Condition Report Disclaimer
