An Edward Mann is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working before 1722. However, as the current lot can be dated to around 1775 on stylistic grounds it must have been made by maker of the same name but of the next generation. The most likely candidate is a maker who Baillie records as working in Coventry circa 1787 who could have previously worked in London.

Lot 107

An interesting gilt brass electromagnetic master clock Unsigned but conforms to Gents’s 1907 patent design, early 20th century The rectangular gilt brass backplate decorated with engraved alternating triangular hatched decoration and concave cut corners except to the bottom left, applied with pivot post for the crutch assembly incorporating release lever and detent for the gravity arm and pivoted armature for the electromagnetic coils positioned to the left of the mechanism, the right hand side with shunt countwheel pivoted between shaped brass plates and locking detent for the gravity arm, the top of the plate with electrical connection posts and the whole assembly hung from a rectangular mahogany board via screws into four posts with the upper two doubling-up as twin supports for the wide jaw pendulum suspension to allow the steel-rod seconds pendulum with cylindrical gilt brass bob to swing behind the backplate, the whole in a mahogany glazed standing case with moulded cornice over glazed front door and conforming twin panels to sides, on plinth base with shallow moulded skirt, the movement backplate 24cm (9.5ins) high; the case 170cm (67ins) high overall. Gents of Leicester were founded by John Thomas Gent in 1872 and specialised in producing electric timepieces principally for semi-public and industrial use alongside fire alarm systems, telephones, transformers and related products. The firm initially operated from Faraday Road, Leicester, later (after WWII) moving to nearby Kibworth. They were bought-out by the multi-national organisation, Chloride, in 1981. In 1907 Gents patented a design of electric pendulum time transmitter or master clock, this design went on to be used in the series of ‘Pulsynetic’ timepieces which were made well into the 20th century.Although unsigned the current lot conforms to Gents’s 1907 patent design as illustrated in Miles, Robert H.A. SYNCHRONOME, Masters of Electrical Timekeeping Fig. 3/16. The overall high level of finish (including fine hatched engraved decoration to all the major components) would suggest that it was made to be an exhibit to demonstrate the operation of Gents’s design. Whether it was executed by Gents as a prototype or perhaps for promotional demonstration is unknown, however, as it is to their patented design, it would appear reasonable to suggest that it may have originated from their workshops.

Lot 181

Lot 195

Ï’A fine and potentially historically important architectural table timepiece of three-month duration with silent-pull quarter repeat Robert Seignior, London, circa 1680 and later The substantial seven finned and latched pillar single fusee movement with plates measuring 10 by 7 inches enclosing a spring barrel of approximately 4 inches in diameter driving a five-wheel train with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum, the silent-pull quarter repeat train of the type first used by Joseph Knibb fitted to the top left hand corner of the movement and powered by a large curved leaf spring mounted on the backplate, sounding the quarters on a graduated pair of small bells followed by the hours on a single larger bell on demand only, now with a 10 inch square gilt brass dial with unusual sculpted silvered brass hinged lambrequin inscribed Robert Seignior, London revealing the single winding hole behind to the rose engraved and finely matted centre, within narrow silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised trident half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with finely pierced and sculpted steel hands and crisply cast gilt winged cherub head spandrels, in a gilt brass ebony veneered case reconstructed using period elements with fine large gilt flambeau urn cast brass finial to the plinth-centred open arch pediment over crisply moulded entablature and Corinthian three-quarter columns with gilt multi-piece capitals and bases applied to the glazed front door, the sides veneered with rectangular panels and the rear with conforming entablature and three quarter columns flanking panel veneered door set within the frame of the case, the base with projecting plinths for the columns at the corners over crisply moulded shallow skirt, 59cm (23.25ins) high excluding finial; 68cm (26.75ins) high overall. Robert Seignio(u)r is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as apprenticed to John Nicasius gaining his Freedom of the Clockmaker’s Company in 1667. He worked in Exchange Alley and was often at loggerheads with the Clockmaker’s Company who called him to account for ‘contemptible words’ he had used to and about Thomas Claxton, the Master. He was also fined 20 shillings in October 1671 for calling the Clockmakers ‘a company of cheating knaves’. In August 1674 Robert Seignior was appointed the King’s Clock and Watchmaker ‘without fee’ until the death or surrender of office by Edward East, presumably to ensure succession of the role in the event of East`s demise. This appointment however was never formally fulfilled as East outlived Seignior who died in 1686; his premises at Exchange alley was subsequently taken-on by Daniel Quare. Due to Seignior not being able to formally fulfil his appointment as Royal clockmaker there is no mention of any specific Royal commissions except for one which is discussed in Jagger, Cedric ROYAL CLOCKS on page 31. In his text Jagger highlights an entry dated 9th December 1682 in a manuscript of a ‘Schedule of Receipts and Payments by Henry Guy Esq.., for the Secret services of His late Majesty King Charles the Second’: To Robert Seignior, For a clock bought of him and sett up in the Trea’ry Chambers, for the use of the Commissioners of His said Maj’ties Trea’ry…..£20. This being Seigniors only recorded Royal commission would have no doubt resulted in him producing something special. Indeed with the Treasury historically dividing yearly activity into quarters then what would be more appropriate than having a clock which you only had to wind at the end of each quarter With this question in mind then it may be appropriate to speculate that the movement of the current lot could possibly be from this long Commission. When the current lot was discovered abroad around fifteen years ago it sported an altered dial signed ‘Robert Seignior, London’. Examination of the trains and plates indicated that the timepiece was commensurate with early examples from his workshop and was originally of rare three-month duration with the repeat work being almost certainly an early addition to the movement. With early long duration spring clocks being extremely rare (indeed the current lot could even be the earliest surviving three month spring movement) the vendor chose to go to great lengths and expense to preserve the timepiece by reinstating an appropriate dial to enable it to be housed in a case rebuilt for the purpose from the remnants of a surviving period example. As such the current lot presents as an impressive architecturally perfect object which befits the movement’s rare and highly desirable specification. Ï’ Indicates that this lot may be subject to CITES regulations when exported.

Lot 200

An important Queen Anne ebonised eight-day longcase clock Michael Knight, London, circa 1705 The substantial five fully latched and crisply turned finned pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum with long crutch, the backplate with apertures cut for the pallets and for viewing the countwheel locking detent, with finely detailed steelwork incorporating Tompionesque scroll terminals to bell stand and hammer spring feet, the 12 inch square brass dial with subsidiary seconds dial, ringed calendar aperture and winding holes to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with cruciform half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed MICH KNIGHT, LONDINI FECIT to lower edge, with pierced steel hands and double-screwed gilt twin cherub and crown cast spandrels to angles with foliate scroll engraved infill to margins between, the ebonised case with gilt brass ball finials to the ogee shaped caddy surmounted fine foliate fretwork fronted box upstand above moulded cornice and further conforming foliate pierced fret to frieze, generous three-quarter columns with gilt caps and bases to glazed hood door, the sides with rectangular sound frets and rear quarter columns each set against bargeboard rising up to the underside of the cornice projection, the trunk with convex throat above 41.5 inch rectangular door, on ogee moulded plinth base applied with two-tier moulded skirt, 245cm (96.5ins) high excluding finials, 252cm (99.25ins) high overall. Michael Knight is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born circa 1659; he was apprenticed to Thomas Tompion (bound 1673/4 through Lionel Wythe) and took up his freedom of the Clockmaker’s Company after a warning to do so in 1681. Michael Knight took apprentices Thomas Day in 1682 (Freed 1691), Robert Youell (through Tompion - Freed 1697) and John Barnardiston in 1697 (Freed 1714). In 1697 Knight signed the Oath of Allegiance but little is known of him after 1699 when he stopped paying quarterage to the Clockmaker’s Company. The location of Michael Knight's workshop is indicated in an article by Evans, Jeremy MAINSPRING MAKERS OF LONDON AND LIVERPOOL - SOME OBSERVATIONS AND LISTS published in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY Vol. XXVII, No. 1, Page 81 where reference under the entry for Micklewright indicates that the latter was believed to have been working in St. Sepulchres - 'in Red Cross Court next-door but one to Tompion's ex-apprentice Michael Knight'. Of Michael Knight only around ten surviving clocks are known listed in Evans, Jeremy; Carter, Jonathan and Wright, Ben THOMAS TOMPION, 300 YEARS. Most of these examples demonstrate a very close working relationship with Tompion with at least two reflecting an aptitude for producing work equal to Tompion's finest products. The first of these is a fine half quarter-repeating ebony table clock of typical 'Tompion phase II' design illustrated in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY Vol X, No. 7, on Pages 782-83. The second is an important eight-day longcase clock (in a private collection) complete with Tompion pull-quarter repeat mechanism and housed in a fine walnut case closely resembling that of the 'Drayton Tompion' (which now resides at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge and is illustrated by Evans, Carter and Wright on page 510). When considering the strong similarity of Knight's work alongside that of his former Master coupled with the fact that there are very few clocks signed by him (despite his long career) it most likely that he was primarily employed by Tompion. Indeed the complexity and accomplished nature of the two examples noted above would suggest that he assisted Tompion with his more complex commissions. The movement of the current lot is almost indistinguishable from Tompion's work exhibiting an abundance of features diagnostic of his workshop. These include the back cock casting (with distinctive chamfered feet), pallet and countwheel locking detent viewing apertures to backplate and distinctive scroll-shaped tails to the hammer spring and bell stand. As with Tompion's work the movement is fully latched with fine knopped and finned pillars and the wheelwork precisely executed with shallow domed collets. The escapement of the present clock is also particularly noteworthy as it appears to be a rare original survivor. The dial departs a little from 'standard' Tompion design having ringed winding holes and calendar aperture to the matted centre. The bold signature engraved in block capitals appears to be typical of Knight and can be compared to that of the ebony 'phase II' type table clock described above. The case again is essentially indistinguishable of those housing movements and dials by Tompion made at this time exhibiting the fine proportions and detailing for which his workshop was known. The current lot affords the prospective purchaser the opportunity to essentially acquire a clock that is essentially a 'Tompion' in all but name. Indeed from a documentary point of view it would be reasonable to suggest that this clock perhaps has more to offer than a comparable signed by Tompion.

Provenance: From the collection of Sir Thomas Jackson, 1st Baronet (1841-1915), Gilford Castle, County Armagh, N. Ireland. Sir Thomas was involved in the creation of HSBC and was appointed third Chief Manager of the bank in 1876. He lived in Shanghai and Yokohama in the late 19th century and his statue still stands today in Statue Square, Hong Kong, in front of HSBC's headquarters. This fine cabinet with its decorative hardstone inlays includes an unusual material called pietra paesina or 'ruin marble' which is a sedimentary rock comprising of mainly compacted limestone and clay. It is almost exclusively found in Tuscany where the Medici Opificio delle Pietre Dure of Florence has used the stone since 1588. In Renaissance Europe it was highly regarded and in much demand from the Royal courts. In 17th century France it was prized by Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin. It has an almost painterly quality and the designs created by the natural veins of impurities within the rock give the impression of crumbling cities, landscapes, mountains and seascapes.
