An unusual padouk wood musical alarm table clock. Berguer London, probably early 19th century. The five pillar twin chain fusee movement with verge escapement and alarm playing a choice of two peels or a lively melodic tune on eight bells, the backplate engraved with an urn within a rococo scroll cartouche and decorative border incorporating leafy sprays to angles, with a 7 inch brass break-arch dial with alarm disc to the matted centre and blued steel hands within an applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track and signed Berguer, London to lower edge the angles with female mask and scroll pattern spandrels beneath arch with CHIME/SILENT dial flanked by conforming scroll cast mounts, in a case with brass carrying handle to a moulded panel following the profile of the break-arch top with brass pineapple finials, the front door with ebonised fillet mouldings to the glazed aperture and brass inset angles, the sides with circular foliate scroll engraved brass sound frets above concave-topped windows, on moulded base with brass bracket feet, 39.5cm (15.5ins) high. Four makers with the surname Berguer (probably brothers) are recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London during the first quarter of the 19th century; Frederick 1805-24, John 1809-24, Francis (Holborn) 1820 and Joseph 1820. Two generations of makers with the same surname are also recorded working in Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland during the 18th century hence it is probable that the London-based makers at the start of the 19th century were first generation immigrants. The fact that the signature to the chapter ring suggests that the maker of the current lot was probably an immigrant may account for the unusual specification of the movement (which plays music as an alarm only) as well as the individual nature of the detail design of the case. These variations perhaps echo those seen on clocks made in London by an earlier generation of Huguenot immigrant makers working during the early years of the 18th century.
Lot 223
A William III ebony table clock. Nicholas Massey, London, circa 1700 and later. The five finned pillar twin fusee bell striking movement now with anchor escapement incorporating rise/fall regulation, the fine symmetrical foliate engraved backplate incorporating two female terms holding aloft a laurel wreath and supporting a drapery cartouche signed Nicholas Mafsy, London, with wheatear border and visible spring barrel set-up clicks, the 8.25 inch square brass dial with matted centre now within applied white Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, the lower angles with shaped enamel panels decorated with finely drawn puce rococo scrolls issuing floral sprays, the upper angles now with conforming subsidiary enamel STRIKE/SILENT and regulation rings applied to the original foliate scroll engraved infill and interrupting the wheatear decorated border, with pierced steel hands, the case with particularly fine heavy cast and chased hinged gilt handle incorporating figural putto terms, a snake and architectural elements to the domed caddy surmount above shouldered urn finials with foliate knops, moulded cornice and foliate scroll pierced lozenge sound fret to the upper rail of the front door, the sides with short over long rectangular apertures, on conforming moulded shallow skirt base with gadroon cast disc feet (movement and dial with older alterations), 40cm (15.75ins) high excluding handle. Nicholas Massey senior is recorded in Loomes Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as admitted as free Brother of the Clockmakers’ Company in 1682. He was a French Huguenot immigrant who is believed to have been the eldest son of Nicholas Massey of Blois who died before 1658. He worked at Cranborn Street with the business presumably passing to his sons (one of which was also called Nicholas) on his death in 1698. Nicholas junior, who was also admitted as a free Brother of the Clockmakers’ Company in 1693 is thought to have worked up to 1723. The current lot could have been made by either Nicholas Massey senior or his son of the same name. Detailing such as the fine engraved backplate with unusual signature within a drapery cartouche, and the exceptional mounts to the case suggest a strong French Huguenot influence and can be compared to the work of other immigrant makers such as Claude DuChesne. The enamel fittings to the dial appear to date to the third quarter of the 18th century and are very well detailed; they were probably fitted to the clock to give it a more ‘modern’ appearance at that time. The dial centre also has a matted circular plate carefully placed over the original in order to disguise the redundant calendar and false bob apertures, the presence of this plate (to hide the false bob aperture) suggests that the escapement was also converted at the time the new dial fittings were added.
