Lot 2288
A rare and important George III oak nocturary, 10cm silvered dial inscribed Whitehurst, Derby, edge pins with trip to top, recording pull, un-numbered 30-hour movement, the rectangular case quite plain, plinth base, 197cm high, c.1807 Provenance: Supplied to the Sikes family at The Chauntry, Newark in 1807 John Whitehurst II (1766-1834) pioneered the watch clock or noctuary, prompted by William Strutt FRS, who, as the scientific eleve of Erasmus Darwin FRS, had developed the concept, apparently from an idea that had originated with the maker`s celebrated uncle, John Whitehurst, FRS (1713-1788) who had established the firm in Derby in 1736/37. The earliest recorded examples were supplied to the elder Whitehurst`s friend Josiah Wedgwood (now in the Wedgwood Museum at Barlaston, Staffordshire) and to Henry Cecil, 10th Earl of Exeter (soon to be created Marquess of Exeter) at Burleigh (where it remains) in 1801. These instruments had their pegs (depressed when the recording lever was operated by the watchman, and later re-set by the supervisor) on the edge of the dial and small dials. By about 1810, the dials had been enlarged and a further refinement in which the pegs were set on the face of the dial was evolved in the next decade, the design remaining current until the firm ceased to exist in 1855/1862. All of the clocks by the firm were, from 1809 when John Whitehurst III joined his father in the business, signed Whitehurst & Son/Derby and numbered (from 001). The present example therefore can be dated from the period 1801-1809, and is therefore very early. William Strutt positioned 19 of these clocks around Derby to regulate the patrols of the watch, thus being able to reduce their numbers by more than 50%, gaining thereby the commendation of the Municipal Corporations Act Commissioners in 1834. Literature: Sylvester, C., Domestic Economy (London 1819) 4-6 & n. (the first published description of these instruments) & Craven, M., John Whitehurst of Derby, Clockmaker and Scientist (Mayfield, Staffs., 1996) 203-209, plates IX/71-72 & IX/77.
