A GEORGE II/III POLISHED FRUITWOOD TABLE CLOCKROBERT BENN, LONDON, MID 18th CENTURYThe four pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum, the strike train now with added 'three-in-two' quarter-chiming mechanism sounding on a graduated nest of six bells utilising pump-action pinned cylinder for both the quarter and hour bells, the backplate with pendulum holdfast hook and signed in fine copperplate script Robert Benn, London to centre, the 7 inch brass break-arch dial with shaped false bob and calendar apertures to the finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the minute ring, with pierced blued steel hands and female mask and scroll pattern spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a Strike/Silent selection dial flanked by conforming grotesque Indian mask cast mounts, the inverted bell-top case with hinged brass carrying handle and double cavetto top mouldings over hinged front with raised mouldings bordering the glazed dial aperture and scroll cast brass shaped frets to the upper quadrants, the sides with arch-glazed apertures and the rear with rectangular break-arch glazed door applied with conforming raised mouldings, on cavetto moulded skirt base with brass bracket feet.45cm (17.75ins) high with handle down, 29cm (11.5ins) wide, 19.5cm (7.75ins) deep. Robert Benn is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London 1716-40. The movement of the present clock has additional wheel and under-dial work added to facilitate quarter-striking on a graduated nest of six bells in addition to the hour striking. This work has been very competently executed with minimal modification of the strike train itself hence does not significantly detract from the overall originality of the clock. Condition Report: As catalogued the movement has had wheelwork and under-dial work added to convert the strike train from hour strike only to 'two-in-one' quarter chiming. The strike train itself is fundamentally unaltered. The under-dial work for the quarter chiming has been very well executed and is well designed. The top left hand pillar has been substituted for a pivot-block for the quarter and hour hammers. Movement retains its original verge escapement configuration and is otherwise in sound original relatively clean working condition. The dial is in good original condition with noticeable faults limited to a light vertical scratch to the centre above the false bob aperture, the finishes have some patchy discolouration and have an overall 'mellow' appearance; the hour hand is a replacement the minute appears original. The case appears original to the movement however the left hand securing bracket has been lowered to allow room for the pump-spring for the later quarter chiming work. The finish was originally ebonised and the surface has been polished back to now resemble mahogany in colour. The rear door hinges are replacements otherwise the locks and hinges appear original but reset with later screws. The veneers have a few historic patch repairs (most noticeably to the veneer overlap to the leading upright bordering the glazed aperture to the left hand side) and minor age related bumps, scuffs and other blemishes otherwise case is in very sound original condition. Clock has a winder and a case key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

Lot 169

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASEHAWTHORN, LONDON, CIRCA 1770 The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with recessed subsidiary seconds and calendar dials to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with pierced steel hands and cast rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch with rolling moonphase incorporating terrestrial globe engraved lunettes and calibrated for the age of the moon to the outer edge of the disc beneath signature HAWTHORN, LONDON engraved in a curve to the upper margin, in a case with concave sided 'pagoda' upstand with shaped fretwork panel to fascia over cavetto moulded break-arch cornice and hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by brass stop-fluted columns, the sides with rectangular windows and plain quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding over flame figured mahogany veneered break-arch door applied with complex mouldings to edges, the base with concave top mouldings over rectangular raised panel incorporating angled corners and moulded double skirt with shaped apron.244cm (96ins) high excluding finials, 53.5cm (21ins) wide, 27cm (10.5ins) deep. The current lot is probably by Edward Hawthorn who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London during the late 18th century.Condition Report: The movement is complete and in relatively clean working condition with no noticeable replacements. The movement frontplate has two unused holes intended for dial feet to each of the top two corners. The positioning of these conflict with the lunar disc hence the maker resorted to fixing the dial via feet positioned outside of the calendar ring pinned to tabs screwed to the frontplate. The positioning of all the other features of the match that of the movement (winding squares, seconds arbor, centre hole etc) and appear undisturbed hence we are of the opinion that the dial is original to the movement and these spare upper dial feet holes were a genuine mistake by the maker which was corrected at the time the movement and dial were made. The dial itself is in good relatively clean condition; the moon disc has been retouched but is connected/operational as is the calendar. The hands are possibly replacements. The movement retains an old seatboard which rests directly ono the cheek uprights of the case which have been reduced in height by around half an inch. This detail would suggest that the movement and dial may not be original to the case (although they are very well suited).The case is in sound condition although the backboard has internal bracing to (stabilise joints/cracks in the panel) applied to the interior. The trunk door retains original lock and hinges and is nice and straight. The finish is a little dark and glassy and there are some historic bumps, scuffs, one or two small veneer patch repairs and minor shrinkage cracking.Clock has pendulum (badly broken), two brass-cased weights, case key but no winder.  Condition Report Disclaimer

The dial has been restored to a good standard as such the inscription for Thwaites and Reed cannot be relied upon. Other than some very light wear around the winding holes and some light surface dirt the dial is in fine condition. The case is generally in fine original condition with good quality figured veneers. The top is free of noticeable shrinkage cracking. The rear door has a small veneer patch repair to the upper left-hand corner otherwise faults to the case appear very much limited to a few minor bumps and scuffs, light shrinkage and other minimal age related blemishes.

A GEORGE III BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY BRACKET CLOCK THE DIAL BEARING INSCRIPTION FOR RIGBY, LONDON, CIRCA 1800The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement now with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the backplate with bright-cut geometric border-engraved decoration, the 7 inch circular cream painted Roman numeral dial now inscribed Rigby, CHARING CROSS, LONDON, beneath 1801 to centre and with delicate pierced steel hands, the break-arch case with hinged brass carrying handle to the brass-fillet moulded single pad top panel over complex moulded cornice, the hinged front panel fitted with convex glazed stepped-ogee cast brass bezel over brass fish scale lower quadrant frets flanked by brass edged front angles, the sides with conforming arched brass frets and the rear with break-arch door set within the frame of the case, on cavetto moulded skirt base with brass ogee bracket feet.40.5cm (16ins) high with handle down, 28cm (11ins) wide, 19cm (7.5ins) deep.Condition Report: Evidence in the plates (a small group of vacant haoles) indicates that the movement was originally made with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum. The conversion to anchor escapement appears to have been executed early in the clocks life with minimal alteration to the plates hence could be re-converted back to verge leaving little evidence of the present escapement if desired. The bell stand has been repaired and there is a spere hole to eh left hand margin of the backplate left over from the holdfast hook for the verge bob pendulum. The movement otherwise appears to be in sound working condition however it is a little dirty/neglected hence a gentle clean service is advised. The dial has been refinished hence we cannot rely on the inscribed name (Rigby) being the maker of the clock; the finish exhibits light wear and scratching mainly around/near the winding holes. The hands are of nice quality and appear free of faults.The case is in good original unrestored condition. The veneer to the arch top is in fine condition with minimal shrinkage, the veneer capping the pad has slight wear to one corner. The front door has a filled key escutcheon and the carcass has filled recess from a lock being previously fitted; the door is now secured via a tongue engaging with a lock positioned to the left hand side of the case (with key-hole cut just in front of the sound fret). The right-hand side has a filled hole almost certainly for a trip=repat cord which is no longer in use. The rear door has some chipping and a patch repair to the veneer edge overlap and the lock is a little loose. The brass mounts (handle, mouldings, frets, bezel and feet) are fairly heavily tarnished/discoloured; case otherwise in very sound original condition with relatively few age-related faults and is of good colour.Clock has a pendulum, winder and a case key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

CARY, St James's Street, Jan'y 7th, 1832 to North Pacific, with extensively annotated and fully graduated equatorial and the Pacific ocean with an analemma for the TABLE of EQUATION, the oceans with many explorers' tracks and numerous notes and dates, Antarctica with minimal land shown including SOUTH SHETLAND, Powells Group and Sandwich Land, the continents with nation states faintly colour-outlined, showing cities, towns, rivers, mountains in pictorial relief, pivoted via the polar axis within brass meridian circle divided for degrees and with brass hour circle to North pole, set within engraved paper horizon ring with compass points and degrees in both directions, Zodiac, calendar scales and wind directions, the stand comprising four mahogany baluster turned supports united by a conforming cross-stretcher.53cm (21ins) high, 51.5cm (20.25ins) diameter overall. The celebrated Cary family business of scientific instrument and globe makers was established by John Cary at Johnson's Court, Fleet Street, London in 1782 moving to a new address at 'Corner of Arundel Square', Strand the following year. He was primarily an engraver of maps, charts and globes who moved again in 1783 to 188 Strand. By 1791 he had entered into what appeared to be a relatively casual partnership with his brother, William; this partnership lasted until circa 1816 by which time William and John Cary had moved again to 181 Strand before finally settling in 86 St. James in 1820. The following year he was succeeded by his sons, John (II) and George Cary, who continued from the firm's 181 Strand address until 1851/2 when the business was acquired by Henry Gould.Condition Report: Globe is generally in relatively original 'country house' condition. The sphere retains old colouring beneath a coat of relatively recently applied varnish. This recently applied coat of varnish is somewhat unevenly executed with a few light runs and sags. There is some historic damage beneath the varnish mainly old flaking to the original varnish and scuffing the worst of which being three vertical touched-in scratches passing through Europe down into Africa a large patch of previous varnish loss to the centre of Africa and a smaller area of similar damage to North America. There is also some concentric rubbing/scratching adjacent to the Tropic of Cancer and the equator (commensurate with something rubbing between the brass meridian ring and the globe itself whilst the sphere is being rotated. The bottom pole has some cracking, movement and slight losses around the pivot and the top has some slight opening to the gores beneath the hour circle. The meridian ring and hour circle are in good original albeit dirty/discoloured condition and the globe rotates comfortably without rubbing. The brass bottom mount (that locates with and hods the meridian ring steady) The stand is in sound original condition with the horizon papers complete and in comparable condition as the globe and the woodwork with relatively minor age-related bumps, scuffs and wear. Condition Report Disclaimer

He was an accomplished maker who supplied the clock for the tower at the Horse Guards Parade. His son, John, was born in 1757 and took over the business presumably on the death of Ainsworth in 1780 before moving to Bowling Green Lane. He entered into partnership with Jeremiah Reed in 1808 and the firm subsequently became well known for supplying all forms of clocks and movements either wholesale for others to retail or signed by themselves. The partnership continued under John Thwaite's leadership from several addresses in London until his death in 1842. The business has subsequently passed through a series of successors and is still trading today from Rottingdean near Brighton.Ronald E. Rose in his book English DIAL CLOCKS provides data allowing clocks by Thwaites to be dated from their serial number (Appendix III page 239); from this list the serial number of the movement of the current lot suggests that it was made around 1867. Condition Report: Movement appears complete, all-original and is in relatively clean fully working condition. The dial has slight overall mellowing and slight rubbing around the winding holes otherwise is in good original condition. The case is generally in good original condition with notable faults limited to relatively minor shrinkage cracking to the curvature of the top. The right hand side is lacking a very thin strip of timber bordering the fluted band above the skirting. Faults are otherwise limited to relatively minor are related bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear. The bracket is in similar condition but has a patch where the polish finish has become dull/darkened to the front.Clock has pendulum but no case key or winder.Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A FINE WILLIAM AND MARY OYSTER OLIVEWOOD AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKDANIEL LE COUNT, LONDON, CIRCA 1685-90The five finned pillar outside countwheel bell striking movement with plates measuring approximately 7.25 by 5 inches and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 10 inch square brass dial with ringed winding holes, conforming decoration to the subsidiary seconds dial and scroll border-engraved calendar aperture to the 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 minute track, with fine scroll-pierced and sculpted blued steel hands, winged cherub head cast spandrels to angles and engraved Daniel Le Count Londini to lower margin, the case with architectural ogee moulded cornice incorporating swollen crossgrain frieze and ebonised mouldings over fixed glazed dial aperture flanked by opposing ebonised Solomonic twist three-quarter columns, the sides with rectangular windows and conforming quarter-columns set against bargeboards rising past the lintel to meet the cornice overhand at the rear, the slender trunk with convex oyster olivewood veneered throat moulding, over 42 inch rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle and with two break-arch bordered marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and scrolling foliage into an ebony ground within an oyster olivewood field, further incorporating conforming shaped marquetry quadrant panels to upper corners and contained within an inset line border edged with ebonised half-round mouldings, the sides veneered with two panels of repeating oysters within crossbanded surrounds, the base with stepped ogee top moulding and fronted with conforming rectangular marquetry panel decorated with floral blooms into an ebony ground over ebonised bun feet.197cm (77.5ins) high, 47cm (18.5ins) wide, 26.5cm (10.5ins) deep. Daniel Le Count is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as most likely being a Huguenot refugee from France who was first made free of the Haberdashers' Company before becoming a Free Brother of the Clockmakers' Company in 1676. He took on at least five apprentices including one through Nicholas Coxeter (Charles Ekins in 1677) and two through William Speakman (James Way in 1681/2 and Daniel Lefebure in 1686). Daniel Le Count is thought to have married twice with two children, Daniel and William, born to his first wife, Mary in 1676 and 1677 respectively. He married his second wife, Ursula, at St. James's, Dukes Place in 1681/2 with whom he had a daughter, Judith. In 1695 the Le Count family were recorded as living in the parish of St. Bartholemew by the Exchange and, in 1697, he signed the Clockmakers' Company oath of allegiance. Daniel Le Count attended council meetings until 1705; he died in 1738 and was buried at Spitalfields.Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean working condition and appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The collet to the third wheel of the going train has been 'turned down' probably to allow the wheel to be moved along the arbor a fraction so mitigate wear to the next pinion in the train. Indeed pinions show overall evidence of historic wear however this has generally been mitigated by moving the wheels along their arbors a fraction so that they mesh with unworn parts of the pinions - an accepted practice in the conservation of early movements hence does not detract from the clock in anyway. The dial is also in good original condition. The matting is particularly fine, there is a visible rivet mark next to the calendar aperture (for a calendar wheel carrier post) and the two lower dial feet attachment points are just visible within the inner edge of the chapter ring. The silvering to the chapter ring has overall light to moderate patchy discolouration/tarnishing. The hands are finely worked and in good condition, the spandrels are also well finished and appear original. The movement is fixed on what appears to be the original seatboard which in-turn rests directly onto the cheek-uprights of the case indication that the movement and dial are most likely original to the case. There is a movement securing bracket fitted tom the movement backboard which corresponds to a bracket on the rear of the movement however the securing thumbscrew in now missing.The case appears to be in fine original condition although it is likely that it has seen some cosmetic attention to the finishes at some point in the past. The hood is in original condition (no evidence of the front being cut for a door) retaining the grooves for the rising action to the rear edges. The structure exhibits age-related shrinkage as do the veneers and crossgrain mouldings. There is a small loss to the front right-hand corner of the frieze cushion mouldings as well as to the veneer lining the edge of the left hand rear bargeboard otherwise faults are very much limited to age related shrinkage and a few minor historic bumps and scuffs. The backboard has replacements to each side behind the hood incorporating 'tongues' for the rising action; it is possible that at some point the tongues had become broken or were removed to allow the hood to be removed by drawing forwards. There is a spoon locking mechanism present as well as a sprung latch to secure the hood in raised position - both of these appear genuinely old and undisturbed so are most likely original.The trunk and base are in similar condition to the hood with historic shrinkage and movement but no visible evidence of alteration or replacements. The backboard continues down to border the lower edge of the base and, with the exception of having a baton screwed to the inside lower edge, appears undisturbed. The structure of the base also appears undisturbed; the fascia has horizontal shrinkage cracking but no noticeable losses to the marquetry veneers. The trunk door retains original locks and hinges and has slight shrinkage to the joints between the clamps and the board to both the upper and lower margins; this is to be expected and again there are no visible losses to the veneers. The lentical glass is cracked. The sides have a few small historic veneer patch repairs to the rear edge otherwise faults are limited to age-related shrinkage. The front door has some blooming to the finish. The marquetry also has reddy-brown highlights which are probably an old attempt to add contrast to the finish; there is raised 'roughness' to the joints within the marquetry indicating that the present surface has serious age hence any refinishing/cosmetic restoration was undertaken a long time ago (the plinth veneers are in conforming condition).Generally the present clock presents as a fine original example that appears to want no more than some attention to the finish of the case and a gentle service to the movement.Clock has a pair of brass cased weights, pendulum, a crank winder and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Although the mechanism appears clean a gentle service/lubrication is advised. The dial has some chipping/filling around the winding hole, there is also a very slight hairline crack towards the edge near the VIII numeral and some filled/coloured edge chipping beyond the II numeral (cannot be seen with the bezel closed). The case is generally in sound original condition. The top has a small historic veneer chip to the rear edge and some slight movement in the arch of the case is evident. The ebonised top moulding has an old repair to the front left-hand corner and a crack above the two o'clock position. The Boulle veneers to the front of the case exhibit some slight movement and lifting mainly to the section bordering the upper part of the dial; there are also two very small losses to the tortoiseshell in the same vicinity; otherwise veneers are in good original condition although the brass is showing some patchy discolouration. Both sides have small historic veneer patch repairs to the skirt moulding and the right hand side has a very small chip to the veneer overlapping the aperture at the apex of the arch. The lower rear right hand corner of the rear has some historic cracking and small loss to the veneer otherwise is in good condition. The rear door lock spring clasp is currently not engaging correctly hence the rear door cannot be shut fully (simple adjustment required). The base of the case has two unused holes, the purpose of these is unknown (perhaps for securing the clock to a wall bracket at some point?) but they are not considered evidence of alteration. Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, slight shrinkage and other age-related blemishes.Timepiece has a pendulum, winding key and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

The movement is fully wound and the escapement is intact and will beat a couple of times when encouraged however the clock is currently not running most probably due to being 'gummed-up' with dry/sticky lubrication. Therefore a gentle clean/service is almost certainly all that is required to bring it back to reliable working condition. The dial is in fine original condition exhibiting only light mellowing/oxidation to the surface and slight rubbing to the signature area.The case generally has survived in very good original condition with no losses or noticeable lifting to the brass marquetry. The tortoiseshell veneers to the curved elements are in very good condition with a small patch pf lifting/delamination to the inside face of the left hand side projection and another to the right hand side around the 2 o'clock position. There is a small veneer loss/chip to the upper edge of the lower side scroll moulding to the right-hand side; the left-hand side has a larger chip to the leading edge of the same lip and two small corner chips and slight movement to the same section below. The lower vertical faces edges of both these mouldings are lacking thin finishing strips of veneer. The skirting is in good condition with only two very small edge chips to the right-hand side. The rear has some overall light but noticeable shrinkage cracking to the rosewood veneers otherwise is in good condition.Timepiece has a case key and a winder.  Condition Report Disclaimer

Previously the property of a Dutch private collector; with H. Brokke, Amsterdam in 1966, and the Dreesman Collection, circa 1928. Jacob Hasius is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working 1682-1747. He had a workshop in the Jan Roodenpoortstorenteeg and is listed in the 'Register of Good Men' in 1704 and 1716. The specification of grande-sonnerie striking, triple calendar indication and moonphase, coupled with the exceptional dial engraving and the profuse use of pierced and engraved brass mounts to the case suggest that the present clock was made as a 'statement piece' most likely for a member of the wealthy Amsterdam merchant class.Condition Report: Movement is complete, fundamentally original and is in relatively clean working condition. The grande-sonnerie striking is operational however is prone to either counting the hours incorrectly or not tripping now and again suggesting that a gentle service is probably due. All the underdial-work for the calendar indications are present and operational but will most likely require some adjustment and synchronisation. The dial is in fine original condition with exceptional engraving to the arch. The centre hole (for the hands) has a correction (from the time of making) in the form of a filled part-circle beneath the present hole otherwise faults are very much limited to a visible rivet mark (for a calendar wheel carrier post) to the matting near three o'clock. The case has a vertical veneer patch repair to the left hand upright (bordering the brass fillet moulding for the gazed aperture) of the back door otherwise is in fine original condition with faults very much limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and other age-related blemishes. The brass frets are complete and of fine quality with good strong engraved detail throughout.Clock is complete with integral bob pendulum and a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

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.Condition Report: The movement appears to be in good original condition with no visible alterations or noticeable replacements. The pendulum holdfast bracket is no longer present. The dial has slight overall mellowing and a few small patches of discolouration to the silvering otherwise is in good overall condition. The case is in sound original condition with notable faults limited to a veneer patch repair around the bezel keyhole to the left-hand side, there is also a spare hole just above the fret to the left hand side -this is left-over from the bezel clasp being re-positioned. The arched top veneer has only two small light shrinkage cracks and there is some slight movement in the panel beneath the dial (but no cracks or losses to the inlay). The brass fittings are somewhat tarnished/discoloured. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, bruises and other age related blemishes.Clock does not have a winder or a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

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.
