A rare small Italo-Germanic engraved brass table timepiece with pull quarter repeat and alarm Antonio Ferci, Asti, circa 1700 The four pillar movement with engraved standing barrel and verge escapement with short bob pendulum for the going train, silent pull-quarter repeat on two bells mounted above, and separately wound alarm sounding via a vertically pivoted hammer on the larger of the two bells, the dial integral with the case and approximately 4 inches square with central alarm disc and pierced brass hands within an applied Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, the angles with unusual applied repousse winged mask spandrels and inscribed ANTONIO FERCI to upper margin, the case with ball finial to the foliate scroll engraved and pierced ogee shaped upstand above baluster turned three-quarter columns to angles, the right hand side panel engraved with a female figure and inscribed ASTI, the left with a figure dancing above a series of abstract hatched scrolls (the sides with holes for repeat and alarm cords) the rear panel decorated with a central female figure with sword and severed head flanked by two further figures above stylised flowering foliage, the upper left hand margin engraved JUDITE e OLO, on rectangular base with brass compressed bun feet, 20.5cm high. DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH ‘IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE CATALOGUING OF CLOCKS’ printed in the sale catalogue or available from the auctioneers on request. The specification of the current lot with its `silent pull` repeat mechanism (which strikes the hours and quarters on demand only) and alarm suggests that this timepiece was designed predominantly for use in the bedroom chamber. Furthermore the small compact size indicates a degree of portability which suggests that this timepiece may well have been made with travelling in mind, perhaps serving the same basic purpose as a `Pendule d`Officier` of a century later. The form of the current lot, through its resemblance to a 16th century `masterpiece` table clock (of the type predominantly made in Southern Germany during the 16th and 17th centuries) suggests a Germanic influence. However the dial, with central alarm disc, applied chapter ring with Arabic five minutes and `winged mask` spandrels is almost reminiscent of English work of the late 17th century. The engraved decoration to the sides and back panel are wonderfully naive, with the rear depicting the scene of Judith carrying the head of Holo.
