Provenance:Previously sold at Bonhams, Knightsbridge DECORATIVE ARTS FROM 1860 INCLUDING THE HOLLYWOOD INTERIOR 1st April 2015 (lot 38) for £1,375. The firm of Gay, Lamaille and Company and their patent for the 'surety roller' is discussed by Thomas R. Wotruba in his article The story behind 'PATENT SURETY ROLLER' stamped on carriage clocks published in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY June 2019 (pages 239-47). Wotruba describes how the Patent Surety Roller (a mechanism which prevents the strike star wheel from accidentally jumping out-of-sync whilst the clock is being transported) was invented by Moritz Immisch for which he received a brevet in 1879. The patent was subsequently secured by Messrs Gay, Lamaille and Company of Paris and London. One of the firm's founders, Emile Gay(e), is recorded as working at 20 Red Lion Square, London in 1861 before going into partnership with a clockmaker named Vicarino and setting up operations at 5 rue Beranger, Paris. In around 1877-78 George Lamaille replaced Vicarino forming Gay, Lamaille and Company who through their strong connections with London supplied many of the leading English retailers such as Dent, Frodsham and Lund & Blockley during the latter years of the 19th century. Louis Bilton (c1860-1910) is noted by the Museum of Applied Arts and Science, New South Wales, Australia, as taking up employment as painter with Doulton & Co in Burslem (Staffordshire, England) in 1892. prior to this he travelled to Sydney in 1885-7 to make drawings of the native flora to illustrate 'The picturesque atlas of Australasia', a monumental three volume set published between 1886 and 1888 by John Sands.

Provenance:The property of a central London financial institution forming part of a collection housed in a purpose-built prestigious Georgian style office building furnished prior to 1925. The De Grave family were well known as scientific instrument makers specialising in weights and measures throughout the 19th century. The first member to set up business was Charles de Grave who is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as working in St. Martin's le Grand from 1780. Clifton notes several subsequent partnerships between various members of the DeGrave family including DeGrave, Short and Fanner who are noted as specialist balance and weight makers working from 59 St. Martin's Le Grand, London 1845-71. The DeGrave business was eventually taken over by W. and T. Avery and Company Limited in the early 20th century. This type of balance was developed by Ludwig Oertling who is recorded by Clifton as working from several addresses in London 1846-1925. He was appointed by the Bank of England and Board of Trade and was succeeded by his son, Henry, after his death in 1893. The business was also taken over by W. and T. Avery and Company Limited in around 1925.

OOKA SHIHO: A FINE AND LARGE PAINTING OF A HAWK CHASING CRANE By Ooka Shiho, signed and sealed by the artistJapan, c. 1830, Edo period (1615-1868)Painted in ink and polychrome on silk, with a brocade frame, lined, and mounted as a hanging scroll. Depicting a hawk, painted in shades of brown, chasing a white crane. Signed and inscribed to the lower right: 天保十二年霜月中旬、應于需圖六十三歳士豊 Tempo juuninen shimotsuki chujun, rokujusansai motome ni ojite zu su, Shiho [This is painted on commission, in the mid month of November, painted by Shiho, at the age of 63].With two seals: 獨糸(Dokushi)& 弐岳間人 (Nigaku kanjin).SIZE (image) 127 x 57.5 cm, 201 x 67 cm (including mounting)Condition: Good condition, and very minor stains, signs of repair and material loss. One roller end lost. Ooka Shiho 大岡士豊 was a talented painter and one of the best pupils of Maruyama Okyo (1733-1796)Hawks are often depicted as fierce predators, swooping down to catch their prey with their sharp talons. They are also associated with the sport of falconry, which was popular among the nobility in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868).The crane is one of the most prominent symbols of longevity and good fortune in Asia. For at least two millennia, the Chinese have viewed them as living to a great age and as being able to navigate between heaven and earth. In turn, these attributes have made them logical companions of sennin, the Taoist Immortals. The red-crowned, or Japanese, crane depicted in this painting is said to live for 1,000 years.
