A very rare early 20th century English engraved brass Mystery ClockHarold Carter-Bowles, London In the form of a 'Mysterious Circulator', with an impressive 14.25inch diameter silvered Roman chapter ring with inner dotted border to represent the minutes set on a shaped brass baseplate below VI, the single brass hand pierced to represent an anchor with rope entwined around it at one end, and a three-masted ship hinged at the other, the whole hand pivoted on an upright strut in the form of a mermaid, her arms held aloft to carry the motion work and bevelled gearing emanating from the clockwork movement below - above her head is set a silvered minute ring with repeat signature and finely pierced and engraved dolphins flanking the figure of Poseidon. All set on an ebonised wooden plinth, the uppermost panel of which is richly engraved brass depicting the four seasons with figures sowing, reaping, shooting and finally slipping on a frozen river, twin figures of Chronos overlooking them all, signed at the front Carter Bowles, Invenit et Fecit, London. The spring driven timepiece movement set in the base and wound through an aperture at the front, with carrying handles to the sides, and a hand setting knob to the rear. 49cms (19.25ins) high. Footnotes:Harold Carter-Bowles was born in 1889 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. By the time he was 32 he was restoring historically important clocks, including an automaton pagoda clock by James Cox, which is on display in Anglesey Abbey. He would restore several of James Cox's automaton clocks, originally intended for the Asian market, and this may have been a particular interest of Carter-Bowles. He continued to restore and repair clocks for Lord Fairhaven, who owned Anglesey Abbey, even after he set up his own shop in Cheltenham. He also acquired and sold at least one clock to Lord Fairhaven; a large marble sundial-shaped clock by Morris Tobias, which is still on view at the Abbey. Around 1931, he established a shop in Cheltenham, at 6 Queen's Circus, and was described as a watch, clock, and scientific instrument maker. His shop front window was described as being 'always a source of great interest for the many horological curios that were in it'. At some point in his career, he also branched out into the selling of music boxes, though the extent of his manufacture of these remains unknown. In 1936, at an auction held in Stevens Auction Rooms, he purchased the effects of Dr. R. N. Pickering, a well-known horologist, including a number of unfinished movements. One of his career-long associations seems to have been with Courtenay Ilbert, the well-know horological collector, whose collection is now in the British Museum. Beginning in 1950 Carter-Bowles was elected Chairman of the newly formed Cheltenham branch of the British Horological Institute, a position he would hold until 1952, before becoming the branch's Vice-President, which he would remain until his death in 1961. About a month before his death, he donated a parcel of antique horological tools to the British Horological Institute's museum, in order to enhance one of their exhibitions on early horology.The mark on the front plate 'S & F Paris & Londres' is tentatively ascribed to Silber and Fleming, manufacturers of clocks, watches, automata, music boxes, and an assortment of household goods. The company was founded in 1854 by Albert Marcius Silber and Nobel Hutchinson Fleming, at 56 Wood Street, Cheapside London. The offices were later expanded to include Birmingham and Paris; the firm continued trading until about 1898, after which point the firm was liquidated. One of the company's known trademarks was a bow knot with AMS, Silber's initials, in between each loop. However, in their trade catalogues they put 'S. & F. London & Paris' at the bottom of most pages; it is not unreasonable to suggest that this same trademark would be applied to some of their products as well. That the firm was liquidated when Carter Bowles was nine years old does not exclude the movement being from Silber and Fleming; it is known that he would buy out lots of old clock movements, and it is possible that he was able to buy one or a few spare movements at a later date.The only other known alternative company for the trademark is Stauffer, Son, and Co., who are known to have used an 'S. F.' trademark. However, this company had branches in London and Chaux-de-Fonds Switzerland, not Paris, making them extremely unlikely to have been responsible for the movement. Carter-Bowles, H.
