IllustratedThis is probably one of the earliest examples of Joseph Knibb's lantern clocks, following his move to London from Oxford, and displays a number of singular features which underline his authorship. In the narrow chapter ring he uses half hour divisions, which are similar to several table and longcase clocks made circa 1671-73. The dial is finely engraved and bears traces of fire gilt. The alarm disc is engraved with Arabic numerals, and the sunburst to its centre is possibly unique to Knibb. The columns are cast in one piece, with integral baluster finials and rounded feet. It also has his pattern bell strap.A virtually identical lantern clock of the same size, by Knibb, was sold at Sotheby's, London, 2nd November 2011, lot 24. Ronald Lee illustrates this clock in his seminal book The Knibb Family Clockmakers, plate 174, p. 161. It is signed on the dial, whilst on the opposite page, plate 173, is an example signed on the fret John Knibb and dated 1669. In his book English Lantern Clocks, Figure V/111, p. 258, George White illustrates another example of the same model signed Joseph Knibb, Oxford. It appears to be signed on the fret - having the extra narrow band on its base for the signature line - as has the lot offered here. An example, signed John Knibb, Oxon, is in the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford. Signed on the dial, it has the same front fret design, including the narrow signature band, but with hatched engraving along it. Joseph Knibb, a celebrated member of the cadre from the Golden Age of Clockmaking, was born in 1640 at Claydon, Oxfordshire. He was apprenticed to his cousin Samuel in Newport Pagnell circa 1655. In 1662 Samuel moved to London and Joseph moved to Oxford where he set up premises in St. Clement's, outside the city. Around 1665/6 he moved to Holywell Street, within the city bounds. Once his business was inside the city walls, Joseph faced a level of opposition to becoming a Freeman of the City, finally granted to him in 1668. In 1670 he moved to London, most likely to take over his cousin Samuel's workshop, following his death. Admitted to the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, he set up business at the Dyal, near Serjeant's Inn in Fleet Street. He was elected as a Steward of the Clockmakers' Company in 1684 and Assistant in 1689. He retired in 1697 and went to live at his estate in Hanslope, Buckinghamshire, where he died in 1711.COMPARATIVE LITERATURE:Ronald Lee, The Knibb Family Clockmakers, Byfleet, 1964, pages 157-162.George White, English Lantern Clocks, Woodbridge, 1989, pages 257-263 and 365.
