A GEORGE III SILVER PAIR-CASED VERGE QUARTER-REPEATING POCKET WATCH WITH SWEEP CALENDAREARDLEY NORTON, LONDON, LATE 18th CENTURYThe gilt full plate single fusee movement with four cylindrical pillars pinned through the backplate, stop-iron block and verge escapement regulated by brass three-arm balance with Tompion type regulation, the quarter repeat-work operated by a plunger to the suspension post sounding the hours via a pivoted hammer striking on a bell set which the rear of the inner case, followed by two rapid blows for each quarter via a second hammer sounding on the same bell, the backplate with fine symmetric foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with wedge-shaped matted-ground relief engraved foot, flanked by silvered regulation disc set within adjacent conforming applied scroll engraved panel infill opposing signature Eardley Norton, London and serial number 28847, the slightly convex circular white enamel Roman numeral dial signed EARDLEY NORTON, LONDON to centre within concentric inner date-of-the-month track and with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with gold spade hour and minute hands a wavy calendar indication hand, the inner case with continuous engraved and pierced geometric bordered leafy band to circumference and plunging suspension post fitted with a bow at twelve o'clock, the outer case with finely moulded rim and bezel surround, (both cases unmarked, the inner with conforming serial number 28847).The pillar plate 3.8cm (1.5ins) diameter; the inner case 5cm (2ins) diameter; the outer case 6cm (2.375ins) diameter. Eardley Norton was thought to have been born into a farming family from Rigsby, Lincolnshire, however he was apprenticed as a clockmaker 25 May 1743 to Robert Dawson of Alford. Latterly he moved to London where he is listed as working at 49 St. John's Street, Clerkenwell between 1760 and 1794. He was member of the Clockmakers' Company being freed in 1770 and remained a member until his death in 1792. He applied for a patent for a new type of striking mechanism for both clocks and watches on 31 August 1771. Norton enjoyed Royal patronage being perhaps best known for his silver mounted four-dial astronomical clock (made in collaboration with James Ferguson F.R.S.) commissioned by George III for Buckingham House (later Palace) which still remains in the Royal Collection (RCIN 30432). He married Mary Swinnerton of Oswestry and later retired to Stonegrove House (no longer existing), Little Stanmore, Middlesex, in the parish of Whitchurch. On his death, his business was taken over by the partnership of Gravell and Tolkien. He is buried at St. Lawrence's church in Little Stanmore. Condition Report: Movement appears complete and essentially in sound original just about working order, however the escapement beats erratically and a little fast suggesting that the balance spring is either detached or missing. The repeat work will operate but is lazy in its action and struggles to complete the cycle and the hands are currently out-of-sync. The mechanism is a little dirty/dry indicating that a gentle clean/service is required however the original gilding is sound with minimal wear or scuffs/scratches. The dial is loose and has a tiny edges chip above the XI and near the IIII numerals otherwise visible faults are very much limited to slight surface scratching; hands are in good original condition. The inner case has some noticeable wear/rubbing/indenting around the waist (where it has rubbed against the inner collar of the outer case). The centre of the rear has had replacement threaded insert for mounting the bell fitted at some point. There is also a small hole (possibly for a thumb piece?) to the waist at 6 o'clock and a small notch within the bezel at 8 o'clock which appears original/intentional but purpose is unknown. The outer case has some slight denting and overall light wear otherwise is in good original condition.There is no winding key included. Condition Report Disclaimer

His workshops were located at 18 Powell Street, King Square, Clerkenwell and he was the last of the celebrated Prior family who specialised in producing watches and highly decorative clocks for the Middle Eastern market throughout the latter half of the 18th century. The case makers mark 'I R' is probably for James Richards who registered various marks from 1793 to 1816.

He initially worked from Rue Limoges (later called 28 Rue Debelleyme after the rationalisation and merger of Streets in 1865), Paris and was succeeded by his son, Alfred (born 1847), in 1872.

The travelling case is in fine original condition with the only notable defect being the strap handle being detached at one end; otherwise faults are limited to very minor wear to the surface in places.Timepiece does have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE PROVINCIAL SILVER LARGER PAIR-CASED VERGE POCKET WATCH WITH CHAMPLEVE DIAL JAMES WHITFIELD, LIVERPOOL, LATE 17th CENTURYThe tall gilt full plate single fusee movement with four Egyptian pillars incorporating fine scroll-pierced galleries pinned through the backplate, conforming pierced stop-iron block and verge escapement regulated by sprung three-arm steel balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine symmetrical tight foliate scroll and strapwork pierced and engraved balance cock incorporating classical profile bust to centre and grotesque mask at the junction with the conforming pierced and engraved foot, flanked by silvered regulation disc set within adjacent conforming applied scroll engraved panel infill opposing signature IAMES WHITFIELD, the silver champleve dial with fine blued-steel backed symmetrical foliate scroll pierced and engraved centre incorporating oval cartouche engraved WHITFIELD to upper margin and with small banner engraved LIVERPOOL within the lower decoration, the Roman numeral chapter ring with diamond lozenge half hour markers and incorporating a calendar aperture at twelve o'clock, within Arabic cartouche five minute numerals to outer track, the inner case applied with suspension post at twelve o'clock and the outer case with moulded rim, both cases unmarked, (lacking contrate wheel, hands and suspension bow).The pillar plate 4.1cm (1.625ins) diameter; the inner case 5cm (2ins) diameter; the outer case 6cm (2.375ins) diameter. A James Whitfield is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as a watchmaker who died in Liverpool in 1674. Loomes also records a watchmaker named John Whitfield as born in Liverpool in 1677 and married in 1688. Details such as the style of the finely pieced and engraved balance cock, pierced Egyptian pillars, Tompion-type regulation and squared-off shouldered to the case hinges would suggest a date in the mid 1690's for the present watch. From this it is probable appropriate to suggest that the maker was possibly an unrecorded son of the watchmaker with the same name recorded by Loomes as dying in 1674. Condition Report: As catalogued the movement is lacking contrate wheel and arbor. The escapewheel arbor is also bent and the balance staff top pivot is broken or loose. The fusee chain is also unhooked form the barrel, otherwise movement appears to be in sound original condition with original gilding showing only minor rubbing/oxidation and only a few slight scuffs/scratches near the movement pillars. As catalogued the dial is lacking its hands otherwise is in fine original condition; the calendar will advance as it should. The inner case is in sound original condition; the suspension post has been re-attached with a small base-metal strengthening plate riveted to the interior and the bow is lacking; the surface exhibits shallow denting with minor evidence of dent removal to interior. The outer case shows overall moderate wear and shallow denting; there is a slight split concentric with and near to aperture at the hinge side and the button for the clasp is missing.There is no winding key included. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE AND RARE CHARLES I BRASS 'FIRST PERIOD' LANTERN CLOCK OF LARGER PROPORTIONS ATTRIBUTED TO THE WORKSHOP OF WILLIAM BOWYER, THE DIAL SIGNED FOR CLAUDIUS MALBRANCK, LONDON, CIRCA 1630The trains now with endless-rope winding on chains and anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike train sounding the hours on a bell mounted above the frame via an iron countwheel with overlift provided by a hoop wheel cut with a single slot, the dial finely engraved with stylised hatched foliate scrollwork laid out in a quartered design to centre, within applied 6.375 inch narrow silvered Roman numeral chapter ring incorporating slender cruciform half hour markers, with fine substantial sculpted steel hand and foliate engraved infill matching that of the centre occupying the quadrants with the lower flanking signature Claudius Malbranck engraved to the bottom margin, the frame with finely turned generous Doric column corner posts beneath distinctive shouldered vase 'cup and cover' finials with cavetto waists, the front and sides applied with symmetrical scroll pierced cast brass armorial frets with the front incorporating foliate engraved detail including grotesque dolphin masks, beneath domed bell bearer capped with a conforming slightly larger vase finial, with brass side doors and the rear with iron backplate, on turned tapered 'acorn' feet.40cm (15.75ins) high, 15cm (6ins) wide, 18.5cm (7.25ins) deep. Literature:Illustrated and described in Bruce, W.F. EARLY ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCKS 1600-1700, Lewes 2013, pages 16-17 with a detail of the dial on page 6. Claudius Malbranck is noted in Loomes, Brian Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as most probably the original owner of the present clock with the surname Malbranck (sometimes Malbranq) being that of French Huguenot (Walloon) family who lived in London at least 1628-35. Bill Bruce and John Hooper in EARLY ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCKS 1600-1700 also note that Malbranck was most likely the original owner and, suggest that the current clock was almost certainly made by William Bowyer. Perhaps the most obvious single piece of evidence to support attribution to Bowyer is the design of the frets used. Although they appear to be outwardly similar to those used on other, smaller, clocks they are almost unique with the only other known example to have matching castings being a clock made by Bowyer for the Brewers' Company clock of 1632 which was sold at Bonhams, London, sale of FINE CLOCKS 16th December 2020 (lot 77) for £56,500. In addition to the frets used, the dial engraving of the Brewers' clock also exhibits notable similarities with that of the current lot with foliate designs executed in quartered segments. Another clock by Bowyer, this time made for the Earl of Rothes, (see White, George English Lantern Clocks page 44, Figure II/5) also has very closely related engraving by the same hand. George White likens this rare style of engraving to that seen on contemporary silverwork and provides an image of a lid of a silver casket attributed to Jan Gerritsz in support of this observation (page 68, Figure II/58). Incidentally the Earl of Rothes clock was also sold by Bonhams, London, in their sale of FINE CLOCKS 11th December 2019 (lot 68) for £43,812.50.In addition to the frets and dial engraving the movement has many features typical of Bowyer's work, most notably the 'hump' cast into the rear movement bar left hand arm to allow for the locking detent arbor pivots, finely executed wheelwork with tapered arbors, decorative blade hammer spring opposing a very substantial stop and iron countwheel. The frame utilises the same casting as the Earl of Rothes clock and is very finely finished with precise turnings and canted filed edges to the bell support straps. William Bowyer is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as the son of Ralph Bowyer (yeoman of Warfield Berkshire) who is believed to have been married to Alice Mansworth in 1590. William was probably born around this time and by 1616 was a member of the Pewterers' Company when he took-in Thomas Taylor (son of Ralph Taylor, a milliner from Halesowen, Shropshire) as an apprentice. Bowyer took-in no less than five further apprentices prior to the formation of the Clockmakers' Company in 1631, including John Pennock (son of William Pennock of Guisborough, Yorkshire) in 1620. Although he subscribed £5 towards its charter and was made free of the City in 1630, William Bowyer did not apparently join the Worshipful Company on its establishment the following year.Bowyer is thought to have been first married to Margery Barlow of Litchfield, Staffordshire, however, by 1631 he was married to Prudence with whom he had five children (three of which sadly died in infancy). By 1638 Bowyer was living in the parish of St. Andrew Undershaft, he took-in Joseph Jackson (through Thomas Dawson) as apprentice that year and during the following decade took-on at least four more, this time through the Clockmakers' Company. One of these apprentices was Nathanial Allen (probably around 1641/2); Allen subsequently married a Phillipa Bowyer in 1646 hence became related to William through marriage.In 1640 William Bowyer was invited to become an Assistant of the Clockmakers' Company, however it appears that he was reluctant to serve the Company as in July 1642 he gave 'a great chamber clock' in return for excusal from any further duties. Nevertheless he became an Assistant in 1651 and a Warden in 1653 the year of his death. The present clock is particularly notable in that it has survived in fine, original untouched condition. At some point the original verge escapement and balance has been substituted for anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum and the winding converted to Huygens's design with an endless chain. Most importantly the latter has not resulted in the strike train being reversed, this has been achieved by adding a very discreet small intermediate wheel to the going train front movement bar, between the pinion of report and the hour wheel. Otherwise the clock is very much the same as when it would have left the Leadenhall Street workshop of William Bowyer but with light wear and the build-up of patination resulting in very pleasing mellow colouring that can only come with age.

A GEORGE II SILVER PAIR-VASED VERGE POCKET WATCH WITH CHAMPLEVE DIALWILLIAM SHAW, LONDON, 1740The gilt full plate single fusee movement with four square section baluster pillars pinned through the backplate, scroll-pierced stop-iron block and verge escapement regulated by sprung three-arm brass balance with Tompion type regulation, the backplate with fine symmetrical foliate scroll pierced and engraved balance cock with grotesque mask at the junction with the conforming pierced and engraved foot, flanked by silvered regulation disc set within adjacent applied scroll engraved panel infill opposing signature W'm Shaw, LONDON and numbered 3691, the silver champleve dial with relief-chased arched banner engraved SHAW over foliate motifs to the finely matted centre, within Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic cartouche five minute numerals to outer track, with blued steel spade hands, the inner case applied with suspension post and bow at twelve o'clock and the outer case with fine moulded rim and bezel surround, both cases indistinctly marked for London 1740 maker IR.The pillar plate 3.5cm (1.375ins) diameter; the inner case 4.1cm (1.625ins) diameter; the outer case 4.8cm (1.875ins) diameter. A watchmaker with the William Shaw does not appear to be recorded in the usual sources as working in London at this time, however several makers with the same surname are noted working from the second half of the 17th century onwards. From this it may be appropriate to suggest that the maker of the present watch was related to one or more of these other makers but did not normally produce watches in his name. Condition Report: Movement is complete and all original retaining original gilt finish with minimal wear/marks. There is some localised oxidation, the mechanism appears a little 'dry' but is essentially in working condition (albeit prone to stopping). The dial is in fine condition; the hands are probably 19th century replacements. The inner case has overall light denting and wear with a small repair (possible filling) and a very small split at the side beyond the winding hole; the marks are rubbed but legible except for the makers. The suspension post has been re-attached with a collar (disc) applied to the wall of the case for strength, the bow is probably a later replacement. The outer case has overall light to moderate wear and denting otherwise is in sound condition.There is no winding key included. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT ANGLAISE RICHE CASED GRANDE-SONNERIE ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH FINE FRETWORK PANELSUNSIGNED BUT WITH SIMILARITIES TO THE WORK OF HENRI JACOT, PARIS, CIRCA 1890The eight-day two train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and sounding the hour every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with silvered platform lever escapement and alarm mechanism positioned to the top left sounding on the smaller gong, the dial with circular white enamel Roman numeral disc incorporating Arabic five minutes to outer track and with blued steel moon hands, set within a fine bright-cut engraved and pierced foliate scrollwork rectangular mask incorporating conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the frosted gilt brass bevel-glazed variant of the Anglaise riche case with reeded baton to the hinged carrying handle over thick top glass, repeat button to front rail, complex moulded cornice and dentil frieze, the angles with fluted three-quarter columns with Corinthian capitals and the sides with fine foliate pierced and engraved frets each incorporating central urn issuing a floral spray set behind bevelled glasses, the rear with pin-hinged glazed door, on generous ogee moulded skirt base with conforming dentil frieze and stepped lower edge incorporating shallow block feet, the underside with Grande Sonnerie/Petit Sonnerie/Silence selection lever; with original tooled Morocco leather covered travelling case.The clock 17.5cm (7.5ins) high with handle down, 11.5cm (4.5ins) wide, 9.5cm (3.75ins) deep. Provenance: Previously sold at Bonhams, London sale of FINE CLOCKS 20th June 2012 (lot 7) for £2,000. Although unsigned, the present clock is of notably fine quality with distinctive silvered platform and engraved fretwork panels reminiscent of those sometimes seen on examples by LeRoy et Fils and E. Maurice and Company; indeed examples by each of these makers, incorporating similar panels, were sold in these rooms on 21st April 2021 (lot 106) and 2nd March 2022 (lot 166) respectively. The scroll-shaped handle and ogee over stepped moulded skirt base are distinctive features which set the present case aside from the standard 'anglaise riche' design which generally incorporate an angular scroll to the handle and plain plinth base. The castings for the base mouldings, however, mirror those on a 'cariatides' case by Henri Jacot illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development on page 172 (Plate VII/24). As this particular variant of 'cariatides' case was favoured by Jacot the presence of these castings on the case of the present clock would suggest a connection to the workshop of Henri Jacot. Interestingly a grande-sonnerie striking clock with an identical pattern of 'cariatides' case to that illustrated by Allix and Bonnert, but housing a movement exhibiting identical details, such as pattern of winding arrow and annotations to the backplate, to the present clock, was sold in these rooms (in partially dismantled condition) 6th October 2021 (lot 111).  Henri Jacot is recorded by Allix 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 complete and appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or with noticeable replacements. Clock is running with the grande-sonnerie striking operating correctly including the selection lever to the base. The alarm is also in working condition. Although in full working condition the movement would probably benefit form a gentle clean and service. The dial appears free from visible damage or other faults. The case is in fine condition with minimal mellowing to the gilding. The glasses are free from visible damage/chips. The underside has a noticeable scratch through part of the strike selectin text and some slight discolouration otherwise is in fine condition.
