George II bracket clock, signed JAMES SMITH. London, mid 18th century.Red lacquered case with gilt bronze appliques.Gilt dial with gilt bronze spandrels and chime override.Eight days winding machine, square plate, engraved back, hour chiming on a bell.Measurements: 53 x 30.5 x 19.5 cm.Bracket type table clock, signed by the English clockmaker James Smith. Its case is made of lacquered wood, with gilded bronze applications with ornamental motifs worked in relief forming stipites with masks and spandrels in fine tracery. It has an architectural structure, with an arched front and a sloping dome with curved angles. It rises on a moulded base and skirt with a cut-out profile, in the Baroque style. The dial has Roman numerals (Arabic for the minutes) engraved in black on a silver circle. A second dial, with a striking function, allows it to be silenced.Bracket clocks of English origin are notable mainly for their mechanism, but also for their decoration. This type of clock originated in the 1960s, when the pendulum was applied to the clock to replace the previous "foliot" or balance regulator. This change made it necessary to provide the mechanism with a case to protect it from shocks that could alter its movement. This was the origin of the watches known in England as brackets, i.e. portable watches. These were short cases which housed a mechanism held between two thick plates and contained, as the driving force for each train, a combination of a hub and a snail. These clocks were originally intended to be placed on a bracket, hence their English name. This bracket was a separate piece that was usually made at the same time, with decoration to match the clock. Later, however, the base and clock began to be made separately.

Louis XVI style portico clock; late 19th century.Gilded bronze and marble.Key preserved.Measurements: 52 x 57 x 12 cm.Louis XVI style table clock, with a white coloured structure following an architectural scheme, and applied gilded bronze decorations. The piece is structured as a classical style façade, inspired by the Baroque both in its mixtilinear plan and in the profusion of decorative elements, subordinated to the structural lines, without concealing the lines that define the piece. The façade is made up of a base comprising a single step, raised on low bronze feet, with projections that correspond to the columns and pillars of the main body. This base is topped with the typical Louis XVI ornamental repertoire, and is adorned with delicately chiselled rosettes in relief and plaques with plant-inspired compositions in relief. The façade has two columns supported by two central pillars with chiselled bronze bases and capitals. Between the two front pillars is the pendulum in the form of a radiate medallion, decorated in the lower centre with a classical mask. The façade is crowned by an entablature with the same mixtilinear profile of projections and recesses as the base. It is decorated with vases topped with bronze flowers. Next to the vases, garlands can be seen, starting from the upper part of the clock structure, where a large eagle with its wings spread out is placed.

RENÉ LALIQUE (Ay, France, 1860- Paris, 1945).Art Deco table clock "Feuilles", ca.1930.Moulded glass.Work reproduced in "Le Catalogue Raisonné del L'Ouvre en Verre de R. Lalique", by Felix Marcilhac, Les Editions de l'Amateur, Pag. 371, nº725.Size: 16.5 x 21 x 9 cm.Table clock in moulded glass decorated with fern leaves on a satin-finish background. Of semicircular format, it has a white dial, Arabic numerals, Breguet-type hands, central chronographic needle highlighted in red and quartz machinery.Lalique was originally founded by René Jules Lalique (1860 - 1945), one of the foremost glassmakers of his time, and one of the first to sculpt glass for great monumental works such as the fountains on the Champs Elysées. He enjoyed great renown thanks to his original creations of jewellery, perfume bottles, glasses, plates, etc., in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. He trained with the Parisian jeweller Louis Aucoq, and then continued his studies at Sudenham Art College in London. The excellence of his creations and the taste he applied to his work earned him important commissions for the interior decoration of ships, trains such as the Orient Express, churches such as Saint-Nicasius in Reims, and numerous religious and civil goldsmiths' works. Lalique was not content with simply designing his models, but also founded a factory to produce them in large quantities, patenting several innovative glass manufacturing processes, and various technical effects such as "Lalique satin" or opalescent glass. Pieces by Lalique are preserved in prominent museums such as the Corning Museum of Glass and the Metropolitan Museum of Glass in New York, the Louvre and the Orsay Museum in Paris, among many others.

Forced to abandon Paris he will eventually settle in London, a safe haven for many of those who escaped persecution in France. It is recorded that in 1693 he became a Free Brother at the Clockmaker’s Company and lived in Long Acre, at Saint Anne’s Parish in Soho, one of his known engraved clocks being marked with the address “Dean Street, Soho”. Although unconfirmed, it is believed that Duchesne lived up to 1730 and that he had at least one son, Antoine, who became a Freeman at the Goldsmiths' Company. Clocks made by Duchesne can be seen at the China Pavilion at the Palace of Drottningholm in Sweden, at Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen as well as at the British Museum collection.TIAGO FRANCO RODRIGUESLITERATURE:David Thompson - Clocks, British Museum, London, 2004, p. 98.
