A late 17th century and later gilt brass mounted ebony and ebonised table clockChristopher Gould, London, with high quality 19th century replacement movement The case with later inverted bell top, four finials and a bold handle over rectangular side panels containing cast brass mounts, the front door with silk-backed sound fret and cast escutcheons, the 7 inch square brass dial with winged cherubs head spandrels framing the silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring with minute and quarter-hour tracks, the matted centre with curved (now filled and engraved) mock pendulum aperture, and decorated chamfered date aperture, the replacement movement of substantial construction, with thick plates united by five heavy turned pillars, twin gut fusees, the strike train with brass tear-drop shaped hammer head acting on a bell, the going train with anchor escapement. Ticking and striking, with pendulum and two case keys. 41cms (16ins) highFootnotes:Christopher Gould was a maker of great repute who was free of the Clockmakers Company in 1682. He is perhaps best known for the exquisite inlaid cases that so many of his clocks inhabit. In the 19th century it was not unheard of for clockmakers to replace entire movements rather than attempt to restore them. The movement of the current lot is better than many of the time, with good brass work and well finished trains. Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy is perhaps best known for this practice of substitution, famously exchanging the movement from a Thomas Tompion table clock reputedly presented by King Charles II to Barbara Villiers, Duchess of Cleveland. He later presented the movement to the Institute of Civil Engineers where it still resides, displayed in a glass case.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

All are in ebony Phase One cases and all have the bell set into a cut-out aperture in the large backplate. Two emanate from two of the great 20th century collections, the first from The Wetherfield Collection, inventory number 23, which with the added complication of an alarm train sold at Christies, London, June 2011 for £289,000. The second from the Iden collection, (illustrated in Percy Dawson's overview published by the Antique Collectors Club 1987 on page 87) which is now in private hands.The cut out was necessary because at this time Tompion used a backplate that was larger than the frontplate. It is a rare feature, but others are known, the latest known to us dates to circa 1687. R.W. Symonds in his standard work illustrates three backplates with cut-outs for the bell:Figure 174 - the backplate of clock number 22, the angle of the shoulders are comparable with the current lot, however the repeat slots run all the way to the edge of the plate, the signature sits within a full pattern of flowers and foliage. Figure 176 - the backplate of clock number 66 has smaller, shallower shoulders and the repeat is activated via a Z-bar. The engraving is lighter than figure 174 and more comparable to the current lot. Figure 181 clock number 96. A similar engraved backplate with cut-out but a Z-bar repeat system was sold in these rooms and is illustrated in Dzik, 'Engraving on English Table Clocks: Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800', 2019, Wild Boar Publications, p.109, Fig.7.10.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

He was one of the outstanding clockmakers of the 18th century, producing a large number of high quality clocks for the home market and export, his work was particularly valued by the Spanish Royal family. He developed his own form of temperature compensated pendulum and was instrumental in the perfection of the cylinder escapement. He was clockmaker to King George III, a position which paid £150 per annum. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society on the 26th of October 1738 and published articles on clocks and an equation of time table in the Philosophical Transactions for the Society. He supplied portable regulators to astronomers notably; Nevil Maskelyne, Charles Mason and James Cook for the recording of the transit of Venus. Ellicott was a keen astronomer and observed the transit of Venus in 1761 from an observatory built in his home in Hackney. He worked from St Swithins Alley, Royal Exchange, London. He was thus capable of making the highest grade precision timekeepers, the most elaborate 'fancy' clocks with finely cast and chased silver mounts, but also the beautifully proportioned and eminently usable fare such as the current clock.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A fine and rare late 17th century ebony veneered table clockHenry Jones, LondonThe caddy top with facetted handle set on internal pommels and centred by tied foliage, each of the four sides applied with repousse gilt brass mounts over a moulded cornice, the sides further set with repousse sound frets above long glazed panels, the front door with four applied mounts over a moulded base raised on brass-mounted bun feet, the 6.25 inch square brass dial with winged cherubs head spandrels framing the Roman and Arabic silvered chapter ring with outer minute band marked in 5s, and inner quarter hour track, the half-hours demarcated by elaborate meeting-arrowheads, the finely matted centre with chamfered date aperture and fettled steel hands, the twin gut fusee movement united by three square-section pillars to the lower half and two knopped pillars to the upper part with knife edge verge escapement with pear shaped bob to the pendulum, the strike train with an engraved silvered outside countwheel centred by a multi-leaved flowerhead, the plain backplate with double line border signed in a shield-shaped drapery cartouche 'Henricus Jones Londini', further mounted with outside barrel ratchets with elaborate stops supported by a shaped and pierced brass spring. 34cms (1ft 2ins) high. Footnotes:Henry Jones (1642-1695) was the son of a vicar and in 1654 he left home for London. He was originally apprenticed to Benjamin Hill but quickly turned over to Edward East. He became a Freeman of the Clockmakers Company in 1663, was an Assistant in 1676 and became Master in 1691. During his thirty year working life he took on fourteen apprentices. In October 1692 he matched Edward Easts contribution of £100 to the Clockmakers Charity for '5 poor widows having Annually the Benefitt thereof Forever'. A study of his work reveals the debt he owed to East's teachings - his early flat-topped table clocks in tall rectangular cases, clocks with engraved fruit corners and night clocks for instance. But however much his work was influenced by his Master, he managed to develop certain personal flourishes that allow his work to stand out from the crowd even today. His use of dotted half-hour markers and heavy engraved lines on movements, and the visible barrel ratchets with elaborate stops mounted on the backplates are just some of the visual cues to his work. An extensive account of the life and work of Jones 'Henry Jones - Clockmaker of London' by C.Stuart Kelley was published in four parts in Antiquarian Horology, beginning Volume 27, No.2, December 2002.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

WWII Royal Observer Corps sector clock, the chain driven single fusee movement by Elliott Ltd, No. 18782, dated 1941, the backboard stamped A/159408, 46cm dia. Provenance :- This clock was at Manston Aerodrome until 1951, when it was purchased at public auction by the current vendor's relative, it was then displayed in his Pub until 1971 and has been passed down through the same family.Colour Sector Clocks were used in all Royal Air Force and Royal Observer Corps Operations Rooms during WW2 and continued in use for aircraft plotting until 1960. The dial of a Sector Clock had a very specific design to aid the complex efforts of RAF controllers. Radar would pick up approaching hostile aircraft well out to sea but once over the land, radar was, in the early years, blind. Aircraft were then tracked by numerous Royal Observer Corps Posts with information sent to ROC and RAF Operations Rooms. This included the altitude, bearing, and strength of approaching hostile or indeed allied aircraft. Incoming reports at RAF Ops Rooms would be shown by colour coded flags of either red, yellow or blue according to time of receipt. ROC Ops Rooms used coloured arrows plotted on the Ops Table according to the position of the Minute Hand on the Coloured segment of the Sector Clock at a succession of 5 Minute intervals. This was later reduced to 2.5 Minute intervals as aircraft speeds increased during the end of WW2
