The life and work of Thomas Cole is extensively documented in Hawkins, J.B. THOMAS COLE & VICTORIAN CLOCKMAKING. Thomas Cole was born in Nether Stowey, Somerset in 1800. His father, Thomas senior, was a local clockmaker who is now known to have moved his family to Taunton in around 1815; he was a talented maker who probably taught both Thomas and his older brother, James Ferguson, the clockmaking trade. By 1821 James Ferguson had moved to London and filed a Patent for a pivoted detent escapement, by 1823 he was working from New Bond Street where he was joined by his younger brother, Thomas. Over the next twelve years the two brothers worked alongside each other and produced a series of highly complicated silver `humpback` carriage clocks very much in the manner of Abraham Louis Breguet (leading some to speculate a connection between Breguet and the Cole brothers). The brothers then went their separate ways with James Ferguson going on to explore his technical abilities later developing a series of escapement designs including a `resilient` lever escapement (1830), a `double rotary` escapement (1840), a detached escapement calliper (1849) and an escapement with negative diameter (1859). Thomas Cole sought to specialise in small decorative timepieces of the highest quality. By 1845 he was advertising himself as a `designer and maker of ornamental clocks` and in 1851 submitted examples for display at the Great Exhibition, both under his name, and on the stands of other leading retailers such as Hunt & Roskel and Hancocks. He then went on to exhibit at the Paris Exhibition of 1855 where his entry warranted an `Honourable Mention`, and again at the British International Exhibition in 1862 where he was awarded a medal for `Excellence of taste and design`. Thomas Cole was elected to the Royal Society of Arts in June 1861; he died three years later of typhoid fever, at his home at 1 Westbourne Park Road, Paddington, leaving his second wife Charlotte and their three children (two boys and one girl). The originality and inventiveness of design coupled with the exceptional quality of finish ensured an enduring popularity for Thomas Cole`s work, mainly from the rising Nouveau Riche class of Victorians made wealthy from the Industrial Revolution. The current lot belongs to one of four designs of tripod clock produced by Cole from around 1840 to circa 1865. The engraving to the centre of the dial, with its horizontal line hatching, indicates that this timepiece belongs to his earlier phase of production (see Hawkins, THOMAS COLE.. pages 40-1), this coupled with the lack of serial number (numbering commenced circa 1846/7) would suggest a production date of around 1845.
