Samuel Deacon is recorded in Hewitt, P.A. THE DEACON FAMILY OF LEICESTERSHIRE CLOCKMAKERS as born in Ratby, Leicestershire on 6th February 1746 and, after initially going in to farm service, he was offered an apprenticeship with the clockmaker Joseph Donisthorpe (as a result of a chance recognition of his practical abilities). In 1769 Deacon was employed as a journeyman to the Leicester clockmaker Thomas Lindley before setting up on his own as a clockmaker in the small hamlet Barton-in-the-Beans in 1771. Whilst in Leicester Deacon became acquainted with the Rev. William Ludlam who went on to tutor Deacon on the theoretical aspects of clockmaking as well as hone his skills on the practical side with particular attention to musical clocks. These skills enabled him to set-up business on his own in a highly cost-effective manner as he was able to make most of his workshop tools rather than buy them. In 1803 his wife, Elizabeth, died after a short illness; Samuel died after a stroke in 1816 leaving the business in the hands of his cousin, also named Samuel. The workshop passed down through successive generations until 1951 when the last of the Deacon clockmakers, Thomas William retired. Leicester Museums acquired the contents of the workshop and archive preserving it as one of the only 18th century clockmaking workshops to remain intact. Samuel Deacon s work is highly distinctive with many features such as baluster pillars, use pin countwheel, distinctive design of pendulum and hammer shapes making his work unmistakeable. In addition to making work for clients Deacon also supplied parts, movements or complete clocks to other local makers. Indeed his records indicate that he first started supplying the maker Robotham of Leicester in 1778. In 1774 Samuel Deacon advertised the fact that he was able to make musical clocks with the first being a four train quarter-chiming musical clock built under the direction of Ludlam for Lindley to supply to Samuel Darker of Tugby. This clock is described and extensively illustrated in Darken, Jeff (editor) TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 on pages 186-191. In 1790 Samuel Deacon made his masterpiece - a four train quarter chiming musical clock with interchangeable cylinders and automaton for the Rev. Severn of Hinckley. Both of these complex musical clocks share strong similarities with the current lot, the first most noticeably in its basic layout incorporating transverse music barrel, the second with the inclusion of an automaton depicting musicians, whilst all three share a wealth of details typical of Deacon s finest work. The current lot presents as a fine example of this highly regarded regional maker s work and is in fine original condition.

Lot 378
A rare William and Mary oak thirty-hour longcase clock The dial with engraved initials J.W., probably Bristol / West Country, circa 1690 The posted single handed movement lacking all wheelwork and strike detents except for the hour wheel, laid out for anchor escapement regulated by long pendulum and countwheel bell strike, the frame with rectangular section corner uprights and distinctive figure-of-eight shaped lugs presumably to carry the bellstand (now lacking) to the top plate, the 10 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture to the richly engraved centre decorated with central vase issuing entwined scrolling foliage and tulip blooms incorporating engraved initials JW within applied Roman numeral chapter ring with tiered fleur-de-lys half hour markers and quarter hour to inner track, with generous scroll pierced sculpted steel hand and winged cherub and filiate scroll cast mounts to angles, the oak case with complex double ogee cornice over solomonic three quarter columns flanking the dial aperture applied with half round moulded surround, the sides with conforming quarter columns applied to bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with convex throat moulding over 40 inch rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle, on ogee moulded plinth base with moulded skirt, (movement wheelwork lacking), 210cm (82.5ins) high. The symmetrical foliate engraving issuing from a vase set towards the lower margin of the dial centre is reminiscent of that seen on longcase clock dials by makers such as John London of Bristol and Lawrence Debnam of Froome as well as lantern clock dials by George Newton of Seend (see Darken, Jeff (editor) TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 pages 30-39 and 42-5). The unusual pair of figure-of-eight lugs applied to the top plate suggest that the movement was fitted a twin-footed bell stand - a system favoured by John London. Furthermore the proportions of the case with complex cornice and solomonic columns to hood over relatively slender trunk and plinth can also perhaps be described reminiscent of that housing the thirty-hour longcase clock movement and dial by John London illustrated on page 34 of TIME & PLACE. From these observations it would be reasonable to suggest that the current lot was probably made in the West Country near or in Bristol. Despite the movement lacking almost all of its wheelwork the current lot presents as an interesting and rare example certainly worthy of restoration.
