Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands; previously the property of Lord and Lady Swaythling. Although this rather impressive high-quality current clock appears to be unsigned it does share some strong similarities with the work of LeRoy and Fils, and can be compared to less ornamental example sold in these rooms on Wednesday 24th June 2020 (lot 98).Please note Dreweatts have an ivory exemption licence for this lot 4J9QZTH1Condition Report: Movement is running and the striking mechanism is operational. The grande-sonnerie works except for at quarter to the hour (last quarter) when the strike fails to activate (strikes correctly when repeat button is pressed during the last quarter). This suggests that a release pin is to the under-dial work is either missing or out of alignment hence would most likely be a simple repair. Clock otherwise is fully operational including the alarm and strike selection lever to underside, however a gentle/clean service is advised. The dial is in fine condition with no visible faults other than some very slight discolouration to the minute hand. The case is essentially in near immaculate condition with good strong gilding throughout and no visible damage to the glasses (including those for the portrait miniatures). The right-hand side miniature appears to have a very slight surface blemish (possibly a restored crack?) to the background behind the figure's head (towards right hand margin). Faults to the case are otherwise very much limited to a few tiny barely noticeable bumps.The outer travelling case appears original to the clock but is fairly heavily worn with broken strap handle and missing button inserts for the repeat button and clasp. The interior is in sound condition. Clock has a winding/setting key. Condition Report Disclaimer
A FRENCH ENGRAVED GILT BRASS GORGE CASED CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PUSH-BUTTON REPEAT AND ALARMPONS, PARIS FOR RETAIL BY WILSON & GANDER, LONDON, MID 19th centuryThe two-train eight-day frosted gilt movement striking the hours on a bell and with alarm sounding on the same bell, the going train with gilt platform lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, the backplate numbered 648 over stamped Pons, MEDAILLE D'OR roundel to centre and the frontplate with further number 76 stamped to the inside lower edge, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial inscribed FABRIQUE DE PARIS, WILSON & GANDAR, 392 STRAND to centre, with blued steel moon hands over subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt gorge case with leafy trail decorated hinged lobed carrying handle over full-width top glass and repeating lappet-leaf and foliate trail engraved complex upper mouldings, with rosette divided matted panel-decorated channelled corner uprights and generous ogee-shaped base further engraved with a band of repeating leaves over rococo scrollwork; with original tooled Morocco covered carrying case.The clock 15cm (6ins) high with handle down, 10cm (4ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep. Pierre-Honoré-César Pons was born in Paris in 1773 and after studying with the Jesuits in the rue Mouffetard he went to train under the eminent clockmaker Antide Janvier. Unfortunately the unrest of the French Revolutionary period disrupted his training but he was recommended by Janvier to the prestigious Lepaute family who took him on in 1798. Pons completed his training under the Lepautes and developed an interest in precision horology; in 1803 he opened his own workshop rue de la Huchette, near the Place Saint-Michel. In order to satisfy the financial demands of running a workshop, whilst taking time to work on the development of precision horology, Pons acted as supplier of movements to many the eminent horologists of the period such as Berthoud, Breguet and Lepine. During this time he developed several escapements and created improved wheel-cutting and pinion polishing machines. With the encouragement of Ferdinand Berthoud in 1804 Pons presented his 'Observations sur l'échappement libre' to the Academy of Sciences where it was praised by the jury and the Academy congratulated him.Around this time the French clockmaking town of Saint-Nicholas d'Aliermont was in crisis due to the collapse of the industry. Napoleon's minister responsible for Fine Arts, Industry and Commerce, the Count de Champagny, ordered the Académie des Sciences to find someone suitable to turn the industry around. Honoré Pons was approached as he had the necessary skills and had developed the tools and practices most appropriate for the task. After a period of reluctance he accepted on the basis that the state will pay him a generous amount for his machines as long as they were installed and used in the Saint Nicholas workshops. By 1808 Pons was producing fine quality 'blanc-roulants' for an affordable price which received high praise from makers such as Breguet and recognition by the Academie in their report to Napoleon Bonaparte.Over the following decades Honoré Pons expanded the Saint Nicholas operations and became a principal supplied of movements to the Parisian clockmaking trade from his premises in Paris's rue de la Barillerie on the île de la Cité. In 1827 he was awarded a gold medal and in 1839 was awarded the Croix de la Légion d'Honneur by King Louis Philippe. In 1846, at the end of an illustrious career, pons sold his firm to Borromée Délépine and retired, living in an elegant Parisian mansion at 20, rue Cassette.Condition Report: Movement is in clean fully working condition (including the alarm) and appears fundamentally all-original. The dial appears free from visible damage. The case has overall light to moderate gilt wear/rubbing however the engraving id fine and crisp throughout. The glasses appear free form visible chips. The outer travelling case is a little large for the clock so is probably not original; the leather is punctured over the repeat button and the carrying strap is worn. Otherwise faults to the travelling case are generally limited to wear, bumps and scuffs commensurate with age and use.Clock is complete with a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT MID-SIZED GORGE CASED REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK PROBABLY BY JACOT, PARIS, FOR RETAIL BY AUBERT AND KLAFTENBERGER, GENEVA, CIRCA 1870 The eight-day two-train bell striking movement regulated by frosted gilt platform lever escapement incorporating sprung bimetallic balance and alarm sounding on the hour bell, the backplate further stamped 629 to lower left-hand corner, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial signed AUBERT & KLAFTENBERGER, GENEVE to centre and with with blued steel moon hands over subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt brass gorge case with hinged carrying handle over rectangular top glass and channel-moulded uprights, the rear with glazed door, on ogee-outline base.11.5cm (4.5ins) high with handle down, 7.5cm (3ins) wide, 6.5cm (2.5ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. Details such as the straight uprights of the handle and full-width rectangular top glass can be compared to an engraved example by Henri Jacot illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other TRAVELLING CLOCKS on page 148 (Figure 9-18). The escapement platform can also be closely compared to one fitted to a grande sonnerie clock by Jacot (number 825) which is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKs, Their history and development on page 114 (Plate V/14). 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.The highly regarded retailer of clocks, watches silverware and objet d'art, Charles Ignaz Klaftenberger, was born in 1802 and entered into partnership with D.F. Aubert in 1835. The firm were appointed watchmakers to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and traded from retail premises at 157 Regent Street, London. They exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition and the partnership appears to have lasted until 1863 after which it would appear that Klaftenberger worked alone until 1881. Klaftenberger only sold the finest carriage clocks supplied by the best makers such as Drocourt and Jacot, with the current lot being a fine example almost certainly supplied by the latter.Condition Report: Movement appears all-original and is in clean fully working condition. The dial is free from any visible damage. The case is generally in fine condition with faults limited to small corner chips to three of the four corners of the top glass and some slight blooming to the lacquer finish.Clock does not have a winding key.
