Lot 61

A very fine late 19th century Exhibition-quality, quarter chiming skeleton clock with special escapement, remote winding and remote hand setting, with the original glass dome and walnut baseCamerer Kuss & Co, 56 New Oxford St, LondonThe elaborate Gothic-inspired frame united by twelve turned pillars and cast with spires, quatrefoils, and other architectural motifs, signed in a signature plaque mounted top centre within a Gothic-style architectural niche, on a substantial plinth base with engraved border, set to the front with a pair of cast gilt bronze figures of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria on circular bases with foliate and crown decoration, the frame further set with applied plaques 'WESTMINSTER & TEN BELLS CHIMES' the 6.75 inch gilt dial with painted Gothic Roman numerals interspersed by engraved foliage and roundels, framed to the outer edge by a pierced running border of foliate scrolls, the internal edge with arcaded trefoils, echoing the tips of the blued steel pierced hands, the unique movement with three chain fusees, (the quarter train with engine turned spring barrel cap), all three winding squares set in the base behind shutters revealed on pushing a horizontal slide, each train with heavy chains running over pulleys to the fusee arbors, the quarters announced via a choice of Westminster chimes on gongs hidden in the base, or on a run on ten bells set in two sets of five mounted front to back behind the standing Royal couple, each bell struck by a stylised brass halberd, the going train with a deadbeat 'scape wheel mounted on a three-armed bridge set on three pillars screwed into the back of the frame, the sliding detent-type escapement with two-part pendulum terminating in a cylindrical bob and suspended from an adjustable block mounted on a shaped bracket spanning the plates above, the hours struck on a heavy gong mounted in the base. The walnut base with carved arcaded decoration and sliding covers for the winding squares. The right hand side is set with two gilt engraved buttons, 'SET HANDS' and 'WESTMINSTER CHIMES/10 BELLS CHIMES'. The hands are set by pushing down on the relevant button to engage a series of rods and bevelled gears to advance the hands. Together with the original glass dome. Running, striking and chiming. To the top of the frame 80cms (31.5ins) high. With glass dome in place, 82cms (32.5ins)Footnotes:This clock was made to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897 and is illustrated in Camerer Cuss & Co: The Bicentenary 1788-1988, Antique Collector's Club, 1988, p.26. The firm used an image of it on an 1897 calendar, and undoubtedly it would have taken pride of place in the shop window. The remote winding and hand-setting is a revelation - one of the main issues for all skeleton clock owners is that 52 times a year, the glass dome has to be removed safely and then put back safely, this is why so many 19th century skeleton clocks are now lacking their domes. The current clock retains its original, perfectly fitting dome. Prince Albert had died 36 years before this clock was made, but still featured strongly during Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The figures on the clock depict the young married couple, Albert is decorated with the Order of the Garter and the Golden Fleece. Victoria is dressed out of period, in a simple Medieval-style gown, the pair perhaps portraying the Age of Chivalry, in tune with the gothic decoration of the clock. Provenance: Single family ownership for the last 70+ years.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The movement repeat signed and dated.The case:the shallow arched hood with moulded cornice over canted front angles to a concave throat moulding, the dial surround lined in brass, over a long trunk door with shaped glazed panel to reveal the arc of the pendulum against an engraved silvered beat scale, and the descent of the brass cylindrical weight, flanked by conforming canted front angles, on a panel base with applied shaped moulding on a plinth raised on block feet. The interior of the trunk door applied with various labels including a 19th century printed 'Table of the Equation of Time'; a description of the clock hand written in sepia ink; an oval label of the 20th century Antique clock retailer Percy Webster; and an illustration from Britten's Encyclopedia of 1894.

The dial:the 9.5 inch shallow arched dial signed in the upper part 'Reid & Auld, Edinburgh' in a flowing script over an Arabic minute track marked in tens, the upper half of the dial containing the Arabic seconds ring, the lower with a twice 1-12 Arabic hour ring, with original blued steel hands.The movement: of one month duration and heavy brass plates cast to allow the positioning of the barrel to the left hand side, united by four substantial turned pillars and secured to the cast iron seat-plate by three very heavy brass brackets, the seat-plate located on two pairs of brass angled brackets mounted to the tops of the case cheeks, the entire lower assembly using 18 screws to lock the movement in position.

Footnotes:Provenance: Their Royal Highnesses, The Dukes of Gloucester.A wedding present from the Directors and Senior Officials of the Royal Bank of Scotland to Lady Alice Montagu Douglas Scott, later Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester (1901-2004). Lady Alice married Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester (1900-1974), the third son of George V, on 6th November 1935.The oval plaque applied to the interior of the case is that of Percy Webster, the highest profile antique clock dealer working between the wars. Webster would have been the natural choice for anyone wishing to buy the finest clocks on the market at that time. The current clock is one of only four known regulators in the world by Thomas Reid, and one of only two that retain his original spring pallet escapement and pendulum. All four were made between 1811 and 1818 and comprise:1811 made for Lord Gray for his private observatory at Kinfauns Castle, Perthshire, Scotland. The month duration movement has a mercury pendulum and is remarkable for the use of anti-friction rollers. Remained with the family until 1934, altered to Richie's deadbeat escapement at about this time. Advertised by Derek Roberts Antiques, Tonbridge, Kent, in 'Antiquarian Horology' Vol.19, no.2, p131. 'This historically and technically very important regulator of 45 days duration was made by Reid virtually regardless of expense.'1813 made for Calton Hill Observatory, Edinburgh. Eight day duration, mercury pendulum. Altered in the 1850s to deadbeat escapement. Used, among other things, to time the daily firing of the gun at Edinburgh Castle at 1pm, and to ensure the correct drop of the time ball of the Nelson monument on Calton Hill. See 'Antiquarian Horology', Vol. 8, no.1, pp.51-61. 'The Astronomical clocks at the Observatory, Calton Hill, Edinburgh' by Christopher Wood, F.R.A.S.1816 the current lot. Month duration, original escapement and pendulum. Royal ownership since 1935. 1818 Month duration, original escapement and pendulum. Donated in the late 19th century by E. Thompson to the British Horological Institute. Restored in the late 1980s - see 'The BHI Reid and Auld Spring Pallet Regulator' by R. John Griffiths, 'Horological Journal', August 1992. Thomas Reid was born in Dysart, near Fife in 1746. Aged 16 he was apprenticed to his gifted clockmaking cousin James Cowan. When the latter died, Thomas returned from London to take over the business, proclaiming in the 28th November 1781 Edinburgh Evening Courant that '.... having received the instructions of the first masters in that profession, did carry on business and was employed in the execution of first-rate work there..' He ends the announcement with the promise that '..he makes no doubt of giving entire satisfaction to his employers'. Reid's skill and confidence were soon rewarded with public commissions all over Scotland including the first clock for the spire of St. Andrews Parish Church on George Street and improvements to the clock of St Giles' Kirk. His two movements for Annan Town Hall are particularly remarkable in that he designed them so as to allow access to each of the wheels independently from one another. He is best known today for his treatise 'On Clock and Watch making' written in retirement and which eventually ran to six editions. He died on 24th September 1831. Thomas Reid took William Auld into partnership in 1806. Comparative literature:'The BHI Reid and Auld Spring Pallet Regulator dated 1818', R.

A review of the innovation following the pioneering work with gravity escapements from the earlier years of the 18th century is given below:THOMAS REID'S SPRING PALLET REGULATORSby Andrew KingWith the considerable advance towards the development of the marine timekeeper in the middle years of the eighteenth century, thought was evolving with new ideas to increase the precision of pendulum regulators. The dead beat escapement refined by George Graham earlier in the century was a very simple and generally robust system, but with the more recent successful achievement of the detached spring detent escapement in what was now, by the late eighteenth centur...

A rare late 18th century English mahogany quarter- and Dutch-striking' table clockThomas Pace Senior, LondonThe bell topped case with five flambe finials over substantial side handles and boldly cast gilt-brass sound frets centred by a cherubs head within a sunburst, on a plinth base and (later) brass ogee feet, the 7.75 inch brass dial with a pair of painted subsidiary dials for date and strike/silent flanking the recessed signature plate over a Roman and Arabic dial with matching hands, the substantial three chain fusee movement now with Brocot style deadbeat escapement striking the hours on the hour and the half-hour, in the Dutch tradition, further chiming the quarters on a rack of eight bells and hammers, the backplate with double-line border framing an allover design of foliate scrolls centred by a basket of fruit. Ticking, chiming and striking, with pendulum, case key and winding key. 58cms (22.5ins) highFootnotes:Clock lovers the world over know the iconic skeleton clocks of John Pace of Bury St Edmunds. Working 170 years ago, his use of clean lines and strong geometric forms give the appearance of an object from the mid-20th century, or even the modern day. His vertical wheel trains can be seen as a precursor of those used to such effect by Jaeger le Coultre in the 1950s and 60s. But John was only one of ten clockmakers from the Pace family, a dynasty that spanned 150 years from the 1740s into the 1890s. A full account is given in Antiquarian Horology, vol.34, no.1, pp60-71 'The Pace family of Quaker clockmakers' by David Edmund Pace. The following six lots are all from the Pace family collection. Literature: Illustrated and discussed in 'Antiquarian Horology', vol.34, no.1 p63, fig 3. Thomas Pace (Senior) was active from 1776-1819 from 128 Whitechapel High Street. Two of his eight children followed in his clockmaking footsteps, Thomas (Junior) – see lot 69, and John who moved to Bury St Edmunds – see lots 72 and 73.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
