Lot 112

A fine Scottish George III mahogany slender bowfronted mercury stick barometer. Alexander Adie, Edinburgh, early 19th century. With gadrooned dome surmount and slender silvered vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches and annotated Stormy, RAIN, Change, FAIR and Very Dry beneath signature A. Adie, Edinburgh to upper margin, behind bowed glass within reeded surround above trunk with the same bowed profile and moulded border over vase shaped cistern cover with gadroon carved waist and underside applied with a foliate bud finial with level adjustment square beneath, 99cm (39ins) high. Alexander Adie is recorded in Goodison, Nicholas English Barometers 1680-1860 as born 1774 and apprenticed to his uncle the eminent Scottish instrument maker John Miller in 1789. In 1804 his uncle took him into partnership under the name of Miller and Adie, the business continued until after Miller’s death in 1815. Adie was particularly interested in meteorological instruments and is perhaps best known as the inventor of the Sympiesometer in 1818. In recognition of his work he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1819. He was appointed optician to William IV and later Queen Victoria and took one of his sons, John, into partnership in 1835. Two of his other sons set up businesses; Robert in Liverpool and Patrick in London. Unfortunately John Adie was prone to ‘Fits of Despondency’ which resulted in him shooting himself in 1857, Alexander Adie died the following year -no doubt expediated by the stress of his son’s demise. The current lot is an earlier example of perhaps Adie’s most attractive design of domestic barometer. The classic elegant simplicity of this model endured as subsequent versions were supplied by his sons. The instrument has survived in good original, unrestored condition however needs some attention in order to bring it back to working condition.

Lot 199

A mahogany domestic longcase regulator. Barraud, London, early 19th century and later, the case circa 1760. The five pillar movement now with deadbeat escapement, Harrison’s maintaining power, wood-rod pendulum and striking the hours on a gong, the 12 inch cream painted Roman numeral break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial to centre, STRIKE/ONE/SILENT selection lever at 12 o’clock and with gilt floral spray painted decoration to spandrels beneath arch signed BARRAUD, London, now in a break-arch case with foliate scroll pierced blind fret to frieze and brass stop-fluted Corinthian pilasters to hood above break-arch door to trunk, on plinth base with moulded double skirt, 230cm (90.5ins) high. Paul Philip Barraud is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as becoming a Liveryman of the Clockmakers’ Company in 1796 and appointed Master in 1810. He is listed as a fine watch and chronometer maker who worked in partnership with W. Howells and G. Jamisen for making Mudge’s timepkeepers. He had two sons; Frederick Joseph (worked 1806-25) and John (worked from 1813), with whom he formed a partnership in 1811 which lasted until his death in 1820. The firm was continued by his son taking John Richard Lund into partnership in 1838. The business was finally wound up in 1925. The going train of the current lot was upgraded from a relatively standard eight-day longcase movement to regulator specification and the strike train converted from bell striking to gong striking during the mid to late 19th century. The dial has been expertly re-touched however images of the dial prior to restoration are included with the clock, and serve to suggest that the Barraud name is original to the dial. The case is a good early George III London-made mahogany example in sound condition.

Lot 200

A George III mahogany eight-day longcase clock. Thomas Ogden, Halifax, circa 1760. The five finned pillar rack and bell striking movement with 13 inch brass break-arch dial with recessed subsidiary seconds dial, ringed winding holes and calendar aperture to the foliate scroll engraved matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with foliate half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed Thos.

Thomas Ogden is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Halifax as born in 1692 and dying in 1769. As with many leading makers of the period Ogden was a Quaker and is thought to have also supplied other makers; his work tended to be distinctive, of high quality and often incorporating complications such as spherical moons or astronomical features.

Lot 211

A walnut and floral marquetry eight-day longcase clock. The dial bearing signature for David Lestourgeon, London, early 18th century and later. The later century four pillar rack and bell striking movement fitted to the original 12 inch square brass dial with ringed winding holes, subsidiary seconds dial and herringbone border engraved calendar aperture to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with cruciform half hour markers Arabic five minutes to outer track and bearing signature D.

Lot 216

A rare William III ebonised thirty-hour longcase clock. William Kenyon, Liverpool circa 1690-95. The four finned pillar countwheel bell striking two-handed movement with anchor escapement and 9.75inch square brass dial with circular calendar aperture to the symmetrical tulip decorated foliate engraved centre incorporating unusual ‘basket of bread’ motif to upper margin and with ring turned centre aperture, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers, Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed W’m Kenyon, Leverpoole to lower edge, with pierced steel hands and applied winged cherub head and scroll cast spandrels to angles, the case with ogee cornice and swollen frieze above three-quarter pilasters to the glazed hood door above convex throat and slender trunk with rectangular door, on conforming plinth base with moulded skirt, 203cm (80ins) high. William Kenyon is recorded in Loomes, Brian LANCASHIRE CLOCKS and CLOCKMAKERS as believed born in 1667, Loomes further notes that various children, fathered by a William Kenyon, were born between the dates 1708-20. A James Kenyon is also recorded as working at Redcross Street in 1715 then Newmarket in 1725 and was declared insolvent in 1743. The delicate light symmetrical arrangement of engraved foliate scrolls with large tulip blooms issuing from a central element towards the lower margin of the dial centre of the current lot is very similar in style and feel to the engraving to the dial centre of a lantern clock by John Barton of Aughton/Ormskirk illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers page 303. As Loomes suggests that the lantern clock by Barton dates to the 1690’s it would, on stylistic grounds, be reasonable to suggest that the current lot would date to the same decade. This date for the clock is perhaps further supported by the fact that Kenyon would have been of active working age at the start of the decade. As the cataloguer does not know of any other Liverpool-made clocks dating to before 1700 it would perhaps be reasonable to suggest that the current lot is possibly the earliest surviving clock to have been made in the city.

Lot 222

A fine and rare Charles II key-wound thirty hour longcase clock. Unsigned, circa 1675-80. The two train outside countwheel bell striking single-handed movement with five finned pillars latched to the backplate and with visible motionwork below the countwheel, the early form of anchor escapement with offset pallets pivoted at the rear via a separate single footed cock beneath pendulum suspended from a forged steel arm, the 9.25 inch square brass dial with winding holes to the fine boldly engraved foliate decorated centre incorporating tulip blooms, with heavy gauge blued-steel hand within applied narrow silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised wheatear half hour markers and quarter hour inner track, the spandrels decorated with further flowerheads within a line engraved border, with brass wire rod pendulum with effective length of 43 inches and fat lenticular bob, the 4.5 lb going driving weight with relief lettering IOSEPH IACKEMAN to upper surface, in an oak case of later date with ogee cornice and foliate scroll carved and pierced frieze above glazed door to hood and projecting concave mouldings to throat, the trunk with slender twin geometric panel fronted door, on plinth base with shallow moulded skirt, 212cm (83.5ins) high. The current lot is illustrated and discussed in Darken, Jeff and Hooper, John English 30 Hour Clocks, Origin & Development 1600-1800 pages 63-6. The movement has many unusual features including the placing of the movement pillar latches and the motionwork on the backplate (rather than the frontplate). This inventive approach to construction and layout perhaps served to assist in the disassembly of the movement. The engraving to the dial is also of particularly fine quality and can be directly compared to a keywound clock (originally made with verge escapement) by Thomas Tompion illustrated in Robinson, Tom THE LONGCASE CLOCK pages 62-3. It is perhaps surprising that this relatively sophisticated, high quality clock is not signed, however a clue to this apparent lack of signature may lie in the inscription IOSEPH IACKEMAN cast in relief to the upper surface of the driving weight. Joseph Jackman is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as promising the Clockmakers’ Company in September 1682 that he would join at the next quarter court, but did not. This suggests that he working as a clockmaker outside the control of the Clockmakers’ Company, hence would be liable to a fine/prosecution if he was seen to be trading. With this in mind it is also interesting to note that Loomes also records a maker with the surname Jackson of Newington in Surrey having a watch confiscated by the Clockmakers’ Company in 1677. The fact that this 4.5lb driving weight would be of little use for any other clock made at this time (either eight-day or thirty hour with Huygens endless rope drive) adds to the possibility that it is original to the movement hence the probability that the movement and dial were made by Joseph Jackman.
