A rare James I brass sundial. Inscribed John Robins, dated 1619. The 8.75 inch octagonal plate fitted with scroll decorated angled gnomen set at 51 degrees and centred with a thirty-two point compass rose with stylised sunburst and billowing cloud engraved decoration to segments and annotated NE, SE, SW and NE within the inner track, the middle track engraved N, E, S and W and inscribed Iohn Robins between N and E, the narrow outer track with Roman numeral chapters IIII-XII-VIII divided into quarter-hours as well as eighths, with floating asterisk half hour markers and engraved Anno Cristi *1619* between IIII and VIII, the angles with line engraved border panels and holes drilled for fixing. The engraved detail, octagonal shape and the profile of the original gnomen of the current lot closely conforms to features seen on three related sundials by William Bowyer, Richard Hinton and Isaac Symmes illustrated and discussed in White, George NOT A BAD TIMEKEEPER: THE ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCK IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY (Antiquarian Horology Vol. 31 Sept. 2009 pages 624-8). Indeed the engraved N, E, S and W lettering is so close to those on the Hinton and Symmes dials that it would perhaps be reasonable to suggest that these three dials were engraved by the same hand. The narrow chapter ring, with its asterisk half-hour markers, also closely conforms with those of Bowyer and Hinton Dials and can be compared with the chapter rings applied to the earliest English domestic clocks such as Francis Nowe’s chamber clock of 1588 and the earliest ‘First Period’ lantern clocks made in the Harvey workshops (prior to 1620). The striking similarities between the current lot and the Hinton, Bowyer and Symmes dials is such that it is possible that they were all made for the same purpose in neighbouring workshops. As White suggests that these examples were made by clockmakers to be supplied alongside lantern clocks then it would perhaps be reasonable to suggest that the current lot was also possibly made by a clockmaker for the same purpose. If this is the case then a date of 1619 would place this dial amongst the products of a maker producing some of the earliest lantern clocks. The engraved name ‘Iohn Robins’ has clearly been added by a different hand than the maker of the dial -as indicated by style of the text with its hatched stems and very positioning on the dial. The style of the font (in particular the ‘s’ of ‘Robins’) suggests that this name was added soon after the dial was made and is probably more likely to be the name of the original owner rather than the maker. It is perhaps interesting to note that records indicate that a John Robins bought a farmhouse known as ‘Boddenhams’ from the Manor of Upton St. Leonards, near Gloucester in 1619. This location would certainly be close enough to the latitude 51 degrees North to allow the current lot to give reasonably accurate readings. Please note: The estimate in the printed catalogue is incorrect
An unusual plated brass cylindrical timepiece with alarm. Carter, London, late 19th century. The circular four finned-pillar spring barrel movement with five-spoke wheel crossings and lever escapement set between the centre pair of plates and sprung monometallic balance aligned within a circular aperture to the backplate, the rear of the movement with further movement blanking plate cut with Slow/Fast regulation sector, with threaded going and alarm winding keys, knurled hand and alarm setting turns, alarm hammer sounding on the interior of the case and engraved No. 347 to the spotted rear surface, the 2 inch circular gilt Roman numeral dial with alarm setting hand applied to the flush rotating disc centre within chapter ring with outer minute track and signed CARTER, 61 CORNHILL at XII, with blued steel spade hands, the plain cylindrical case with canted bezel behind convex glass and threaded rear cover with knurled edge, 6.5cm (2.5ins) diameter. John Carter is recorded in Baillie G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed in 1817 and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers’ Company in 1829. He was an accomplished chronometer maker who won numerous awards at the 1838 chronometer trials; by 1840 he had set up business in 61 Cornhill. In 1855 Carter and held the position of juror at the Imperial Exhibition held in Paris and was appointed Master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers three times (in 1856, 59, and 64). As well as being a highly skilled horologist John Carter was also notable as a civic activist -perhaps due to his experiences as a child as he was orphaned at an early age. His charitable nature lead him to be elected Lord Mayor in 1859, he died 1878. The current lot is noteworthy in that a great deal of thought seems to have gone into its layout and finish. The construction of the movement with the dial, movement and rear blanking plates forming a compact three-tier frame into which the wheelwork has been carefully arranged, this coupled with details such as five-spoke wheel crossings, integral sprung ratchets and finely turned pillars demonstrates an individual high quality approach.

The inscription to the arch of the current lot indicates that this clock was a made to commemorate a wedding. Online records (National Archives) suggests that a Abraham Greenwood (from a long established Dewsbury family) lived in the town at the time this clock was made. As he was a wealthy merchant and landlord he would have certainly had the resources to order a longcase clock to commemorate his marriage.
