Y A WILLIAM III SILVER MOUNTED EBONY TABLE CLOCKTHOMAS HERBERT, LONDON, CIRCA 1695The six finned and latched twin chain fusee movement now with anchor escapement and later system of 'three-in-two' quarter striking on two bells, sounding ting-tang for the quarters and single blow on the larger bell at the hour, the backplate finely executed and attributed Tompion's engraver 'Graver -155' with symmetrical foliate scrollwork incorporating festooned bell-flower swags over a shaped cartouche signed Thomas Herbert, LONDINI within a broad engraved laurel band outer border, the 6.25 inch square brass dial with finely matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes within the outer minute track, with scroll pierced sculpted steel hands, applied cast silver winged cherub mask spandrels to angles and N/S strike/silent selection switch at twelve o'clock, the ebony veneered case with foliate-bud tied hinged silver carrying handle to the domed caddy surmount applied with silver repousse foliate scroll pierced mounts to front and sides, over double ogee top mouldings and silver foliate scroll pierced repousse lozenge sound fret to the upper rail of the front door, the uprights with unusual twin mask and winged scroll decorated silver escutcheon mounts, the sides with conforming lozenge repousse sound frets over rectangular windows, the rear with rectangular glazed door set within the frame of the case applied with further matching escutcheon mounts, on ogee moulded shallow skirt base with moulded squab feet, (formerly with verge escapement and hour striking with pull-quarter repeat work).33cm (13ins) high with handle down, 24cm (9.5ins) wide, 15cm (6ins) deep. Thomas Herbert is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1900 as born around 1651 and becoming a Free Brother of the Clockmakers' Company in 1676, having possibly previously gaining his freedom of the Needle Makers' Company. In 1676 Thomas Herbert was appointed 'Watchmaker and Clockmaker in Extraordinary' to the King (Charles II), and Married Sarah East (daughter of the clockmaker Edward East) at Knightsbridge Chapel in December of that year. He is subsequently noted as the 'King's Clockmaker' when he took as an apprentice Evan Herbert in 1680; and then as the 'Queen's Clockmaker' when accepting John Okey as an apprentice in 1693. In 1699 Thomas Herbert petitioned to the Crown for payment of his account for watches 'furnished for the Pages of the Bedchamber' and was paid £9 15s 6d for work undertaken at Hampton Court in 1702. Three years later Thomas Herbert was awarded £100 per annum 'in lieu of such bills as he did annually make for mending, cleaning and taking care of her Majesty's clocks and watches...'. Further requests 'in regard of his great poverty' were made on 1708, and in 1713 a telling record notes 'to be paid to Thomas Herbert for half a year's salary due Midsummer 1701, as clockmakers to King William III, by general letters of privy seal'. Loomes does not record his date of death, but it is likely that it was fairly soon after this date due to his advancing years. The engraved decoration to the backplate of the present lot can be closely compared to the backplates of 'The Selby Lowndes Tompion' (no. 217) and 'The Medici Tompion' (no. 278) illustrated in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 pages 239-40 (Figures 13.24 and 13.25). Most notable is the strong similarities within the rendering of the foliate scrollwork with 'larger more luxuriant leaves' than often seen, as well as the delicate bell-flower festoon swags. The Signature script also has strong similarities especially within the calligraphy for 'LONDINI'.Although the movement of the present clock has had historic alteration to the mechanism it does present as a very attractive scarce silver mounted example by a fine and rare maker, which could be brought back to working condition in its present form without a great deal of expense. Or, conversely, presents as a tantalising project for restoration back to its original specification. Condition Report: As catalogued the movement has been altered in the 19th century from hour-striking with pull-quarter repeat to 'three-in-two' ting-tang quarter striking; the strike train has also been converted form verge escapement regulated by short bob to anchor regulated by lenticular bob. Hence, due to these alterations, all wheelwork above the fusee for both trains has been changed/renewed. In addition to this there are a series of filled holes to both plates as well as additional filled slots to the frontplate. The going train is currently not running as the fusee chain is detached at the fusee end; the chain however appears not to be broken and the train itself free form visible damage. The spring will 'tighten' when the barrel is rotated however we cannot vouch for the overall integrity of the mainspring. The strike train is in working condition but is a little lazy and will probably require some adjustment. Two of the movement pillars have lost their latches (one is pinned and the other has been filed flush with the frontplate) and the strike-side lower pillar has some slight marking from the chain becoming detached from the fusee. The dial is in good original condition with no visible evidence of notable alteration except for al, the feet now being pinned rather than latched and the hour hand being repaired at its tip. The chapter ring has overall oxidation/mellowing. The case is generally in sound original condition. The caddy superstructure has some noticeable cracking within the veneers visible within the front and rear surfaces. The interior of the caddy also has brass reinforcements to the handle fixings, hence it is possible that the caddy has become detached at some point. The corners have neatly filled holes to the top edges suggesting that finials were fitted at some point. The mask around the dial (behind the front door hence only visible when door is open) has some shrinkage cracking and veneer patch repairs to the overlap. The lower right-hand joint of the front door is also a little loose. The right-hand side has some veneer cracking and wear around the upper fret aperture and the left hand has similar cracking and a small veneer patch repair. The rear door has a veneer patch repair adjacent the key escutcheon mount and the lower rail has been scooped-out (along with a small amount to the surrounding frame beneath) to allow clearance for the swing of the larger later lenticular pendulum bob. The rear edge of the seatboard is also cut with a slot for the same purpose. The front right hand corner of the seatbaord and the base of the case is cut with a slot aperture most likely to allow for a pull-quarter repeat lever which is no longer present. The silver mounts are all in good condition. The locks and hinges appear original however the feet are replacements. Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to crack in the left-hand side glass, minor bumps, scuffs and shrinkages.Clock has a case key but no winder. Condition Report Disclaimer
Lot 123
A FRENCH GILT BRASS CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PUSH-BUTTON REPEAT AND ONE-PIECE CASEATTRIBUTED TO HENRI JACOT FOR DENT, PARIS, CIRCA 1855The two train eight-day bell striking movement with gilt platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the inside lower edges of both the front and backplates stamped 231 and the lower edge of the rear engraved Dent, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel trefoil hands and incorporating signature DENT. PARIS within the minute ring at six o'clock, the satin-gilt 'Garnier second series' type one-piece bevel glazed caddy moulded case with hinged baluster turned carrying handle over large top glass and repeat plunger to front rail, the rear with hinged glazed door and on cavetto moulded skirt base incorporating inset rounded angles.12.5cm (5ins) high with handle down, 8cm (3.125ins) wide, 6.5cm (2.675ins) deep. Provenance:The property of a deceased gentleman. The current lot can be directly compared to another example signed by Dent (numbered 297) offered by Leigh Extence Fine Antique Clocks (Exeter). In his listing Extence notes that 'the movement (of number 297) is identical to others seen as signed for Henri Jacot and his working partner Louis Baveux, and includes the double-finned dial pillars, the unique layout of the under-dial work, and the style of engraving to the lettering of the signature amongst other features'. He then notes direct comparisons with Jacot number 489. Edward John Dent was a talented horologist who at the age of 17 transferred his apprenticeship from the trade of tallow chandler to watchmaking under the charge of Edward Gaudin in 1807. By 1817 he had become well known as a watch and clockmaker receiving commissions from the Admiralty for a 'Standard Astronomical Clock' and pocket chronometers for the Colonial Office Africa Expedition. In 1830 Dent went into partnership with the renowned watch and chronometer maker John Roger Arnold which continued until 1840 when he left and set up business alone as E.J. Dent at 82 Strand, London, primarily making marine chronometers, watches and precision clocks. In 1843 the firm expanded taking on a second premises at 33 Cocksur Street, with the Strand premises moving down the road to number 61 by 1851. In 1852 Edward Dent successfully tendered to make the 'great clock' to be housed in Stephen's tower at the New Palace of Westminster. The clock was completed by 1859, apparently at a financial loss to the firm, however it ensured that Dent became a household name synonymous with fine clockmaking.Unfortunately Edward John Dent did not live to see the installation of the 'great clock' as he died in 1853. He was succeeded by his stepson Frederick Rippon Dent, who, in partnership with his brother Richard, continued to expand the business. By 1862 the firm had added 34 Cockspur Street and 34 & 35 Royal Exchange to their list of addresses and, although having seen natural passage of ownership over the intervening years, the business still continues to trade today as Dent & Co. Henri Jacot is recorded by in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as working from 31 Rue de Montmorency, Paris as well as possibly having a factory in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont. The business was awarded Bronze Medals at the Paris 'Exposition' in 1855 and in London 1862; Silver in Paris 1867, 78 and 89 and Gold, again in Paris, 1890. Although Charles Allix notes that Henry Jacot senior died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew of the same name further research by Leigh Extence has revealed that after his death Henri's business was actually continued by his brother Julien who was essentially only 'keeping the bench warm' until his son, and Henri's nephew Albert, was able to take over and move the concern forward in 1874. The business is thought to have continued until around 1920. Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. Although it is working a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised. Dial is free from outwardly visible faults although a very slight chip can be seen at the bottom left corner on very close examination viewing from an oblique angle. Case is in very good condition with no visible chips to the glasses and faults limited to some very slight bumps to the frame as well as some light oxidation/discolouration to the gilding.Clock is complete with a winding key.
