EIGHT FRENCH TOOLED-MOROCCO COVERED CARRIAGE CLOCK TRAVELLING CASESANOMYNOUS, MID TO LATE 19th CENTURYTo include a case to take a giant carriage clock measuring approximately 8.25 ins high with handle down, 5.75 ins wide and 4.75 ins deep, two cases for larger carriage clocks, four standard size cases and one slightly smaller (the last two in poor condition), (8).The giant carriage clock case 25cm (9.75ins) high, 18cm (7ins) wide, 15cm (6ins) deep. 

A FINE FRENCH BRASS GORGE CASED SMALL REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH LIMOGES ENAMEL PANELSUNSIGNED, PARIS, CIRCA 1875The eight-day two train gong striking movement with frosted silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm mechanism planted between the plates at eleven o'clock sounding on the same gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 7027 to lower left-hand corner, the rectangular deep maroon almost black enamel dial with gilt star rosette to centre, contrasting gilt and white Roman numerals to chapter ring and gilt brass hands, the upper spandrel areas decorated in translucent polychrome enamel with Renaissance inspired stylised foliate scroll strapwork and the lower margin centred with an Arabic numeral alarm setting dial flanked by bird inhabited conforming leafy scrollwork, the brass gorge case with hinged carrying handle over large bevelled top glass, trip-repeat button to front rail and channel-moulded uprights, the sides inset with fine enamel panels depicting winged clothed putti serenading lovebirds with a pan pipes and a flageolet, the rear with pin-hinged bevel glazed door, on ogee-outline base; with original tooled Morocco leather covered protective carrying case.The clock 10cm (4ins) high with handle down, 7cm (2.75ins) wide, 6cm (2.375ins) deep. The exquisite dial and side panels of the current lot are textbook examples of the finest enamel-work produced in the Limoges workshops during the second half of the 19th century. The Renaissance inspired subject matter along with the colour palette (in particular the dark ground) revives the style for which the region became particularly well-known for during the 16th Century. Indeed the popularity and re-establishment of the Limoges enamel workshops during the second half of the 19th century was born out of a deep appreciation for the Renaissance originals which had become highly prized by connoisseurs earlier in the century. As often the case with French revivalist art the intention was to match (or even, if possible, exceed) the quality of the originals hence there was generally a 'no expense spared' approach to execution in order to achieve this objective. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. If intending to put then clock into long term service a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised. The dial panel has what appears to be a very slight scratch to the ground near the top right hand corner (can only really be seen on close examination under strong light). The left-hand side panel has miniscule chips to each of the upper two corners (again only visible on very close examination), otherwise the enamel panels appear to be free from any visible faults. The glasses appear free form visible damage and the case is free from defects although the surface is generally a little dull/discoloured. The travelling case is structurally sound retaining its original strap handle, button clasp and repeat push intact. The interior has lifting/snagging to the velvet lining and general wear; the exterior has uneven scuffing and wear to the surface including a rectangular patch form a sticky label being attached to the top of the lid at some point.Clock does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH LOUIS PHILIPPE GILT BRASS ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH CALENDAR BOURDIN, PARIS, CIRCA 1845The two train eight-day bell striking movement with gilt platform lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, the rectangular silvered brass Roman numeral dials with blued steel arrow hands over twin subsidiary Arabic numeral dials for date-of-the-month and alarm setting, the early multipiece bevel-glazed case with hinged baton carrying handle over large rectangular glass, ogee top mouldings and rounded uprights to angles, the rear with gilt brass panel incorporating graduated regulation slide to upper margin over signature Bourdin H'r du Roi, 24 R. de la Paix, PARIS and shuttered winding, hand setting and alarm adjustment holes, on cavetto moulded skirt base also with rounded angles, (calendar and alarm currently inoperative).14cm (5.5ins) high with handle down, 9cm (3.5ins) wide, 7cm (2.75ins) deep. A.E. Bourdin is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development as being awarded medals for carriage clocks in the Paris Expositions; Bronze 1844, Silver 1855 and Bronze again in 1866. A very fine complex four-train grande-sonnerie striking chronometer carriage clock with calendar by Bourdin is illustrated by Allix and Bonnert on page 110 (Plates V/7-8). 

A LEATHER CARRYING CASE FOR AN EIGHT-DAY CHRONOMETER CARRIAGE TIMEPIECETHOMAS MERCER, ST. ALBANS, CIRCA 1975Of rectangular form with hinged overlapping lid embossed in gilt Thomas Mercer, Est. 1858 to front edge over sliding dial panel decorated with leaf motifs, the sides with brass locking clasps for the lid over mounting points for the tubular leather carrying handle, the interior with blue velvet top cushion and base lining.20.5cm (8ins) high excluding strap handle, 18cm (7ins) wide, 13cm (5.125ins) deep. The chronometer making firm Thomas Mercer of St. Albans was established by Thomas Mercer (1822-60) at North Road, London in 1858 before moving to 45 Spencer Street, Clerkenwell in 1860. Mercer became an active member of the British Horological Institute (established in 1858) where he lectured on the need to modernise the industry and served as honorary treasurer from 1875-95. After occupying several addresses in Clerkenwell Mercer relocated the core of the business to St. Albans in 1874 setting up a factory behind his house at 14-15 Prospect Road. Although the bulk of the businesses work was undertaken in St. Albans Mercer personally made weekly trips to Clerkenwell to deliver/collect parts finished by specialist outworkers as well as visit the Horological Institute. In order to maintain a presence in London Thomas Mercer opened an outlet 18 Westmoreland Road, City Road in 1890. Succuss at the Greenwich trials was also always considered important to Mercer who entered instruments every year; he was placed second in 1881 and his son, Frank, came first in 1911. In 1900 Thomas Mercer accepted an invitation to judge at the Universal Exhibition in Paris but unfortunately caught a cold on the ferry crossing and died soon after his return. The business was subsequently continued by his successors becoming of the most prolific suppliers of chronometers and other timepiece for industrial, maritime and domestic purposes and continued trading in St Albans until 1984. The present lot was made to house a lacquered brass eight-day chronometer carriage clock f a design produced by Mercer during the 1970's. An example of this type (from the collection of Michael Hurst) was sold in these rooms on 22nd March 2022 (lot 155) for £3,500. 

AN ELIZABETH II COMMEMORATIVE SILVER CASED MINIATURE 'HUMP-BACK' CARRIAGE TIMEPIECECHARLES FRODSHAM, LONDON 1978The eight-day four pillar going barrel movement with Swiss gilt platform lever escapement regulated by spring monometallic balance, the 2.350 inch arched gilt brass dial with two banners inscribed Cha's Frodsham & Co., London, England to centre within applied silver Roman numeral chapter ring, with blued steel moon hands over inscription Elizabeth of Glamis flanked by a pair of rose blooms, the arched case with curb link carrying chain to the top over half-round mouldings bordering the glazed dial aperture and hinged rear door engraved with a banner inscribed SERIAL No. 212/800, on four conical feet, marks for London 1980 maker TC.8cm (3.125ins) high, 7cm (2.25ins) wide, 4.5cm (1.75ins) deep. Charles Frodsham was born in 1810 into a family of clockmakers with his grandfather, William originating from Cheshire before moving to London prior to 1781 where he was admitted to the Clockmaker's Company. His son, William James, had six sons, four of whom joined the firm of Parkinson and Frodsham in London; whilst Charles, the third born son set-up on his own at Barnes Place, Islington in 1834. He moved to 12 Finsbury Pavement in 1836 then to number 7 in 1838. On the death of the renowned chronometer maker John Roger Arnold in 1843 Charles Frodsham acquired the business and began trading as 'Arnold, Charles Frodsham' from 84 Strand, London. Unusually Frodsham was not admitted to the Clockmaker's Company until 1845 but went on to serve as master twice in 1855 and 1862; he was also a founder member of the British horological Institute in 1858.Charles Frodsham became one of the most eminent chronometer makers of his generation who served as a juror in the 1852 International Exhibition held at South Kensington where he also showed a month duration marine chronometer with experimental 'Duo-in-uno' balance springs and three different forms of compound balance. In 1854 he purchased the 'goodwill' of the late Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy's business which led to his appointment as Superintendent and Keeper of Her Majesty's clocks at Buckingham Palace. Charles Frodsham died of liver disease in January 1871 and was succeeded by his son, Harrison Mill Frodsham. The business became Charles Frodsham and Company and in 1884 and then was incorporated as a limited Company in 1893 before relocating to 115 New Bond Street, London two years later where they remained well into the Twentieth Century. The firm is still trading today (from 32 Bury Street, London) as specialist in chronometer, watch and clock makers.  The present timepiece was produced as a part of a limited edition run of 800 examples to commemorate the life of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Condition Report: Movement is complete and in working condition however a gentle clean/service is advised. The dial appears free form visible faults other than some very light dust deposits (only visible on very close examination). Case is in fine original condition with no visible damage although it would benefit from a clean/polish. There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE ENGRAVED GILT BRASS GORGE CASED REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCKTHE MOVEMENT STAMPED FOR LOUIS-ALFRED BAVEAUX POSSIBLY FOR HENRI JACOT, PARIS, CIRCA 1875-80The eight-day two train gong striking movement with frosted silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm mechanism planted between the plates at eleven o'clock sounding on the same gong, the backplate stamped with serial number 3028 to lower left-hand corner and the inside stamped with AB trademark over further indistinct number to lower margin, the circular white enamel Roman numeral dial with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and blued steel spade hands set within fine foliate scroll engraved rectangular mask enclosing circular conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the engraved gilt brass gorge case with hinged lobed carrying handle over rectangular top glass within trailing scroll spandrel swag surround over foliate panel engraved bands to top mouldings and channel-moulded uprights, the rear with pin-hinged door over ogee-outline base further engraved with palmettes issuing foliate scrolls within a matted ground.13cm (5.125ins) high with handle down, 8.5cm (3.375ins) wide, 7cm (2.75ins) deep. Louis-Alfred Baveaux is recorded by Leigh Extence as born in 1846 to Claude-Louis Napoleon Baveaux (born in Dieppe 1806) who is thought to have probably worked alongside Henry Jacot in the Saint-Nicholas-d'Aliermont workshops during the 1850's. Louis-Alfred Baveaux followed in his father's footsteps latterly supplying the Jacot family with blanc-roulant movements which mostly bore his initials 'AB' and a serial number to the inside of the frontplate. Baveaux no longer used the 'AB' stamp after 1883 presumably due to going into partnership with other members of his family; the business subsequently became 'Baveaux Freres' after Louis-Alfred's death in 1891. Details such as the vertical uprights to the handle together with the overall feel and quality of the present timepiece very much echoes Henri Jacot's 'house style' suggesting that it may have been finished in his workshops for retail in Paris. Henri Jacot is recorded by in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development 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. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The dial is free from visible damage as are the case glasses. The gilding is generally very good with only minor wear and some noticeable thinning to the high spots. Generally this clock is in excellent condition.Clock does not have a winding key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

AN AUSTRIAN ENGRAVED GILT BRASS GRANDE-SONNERIE STRIKING AND REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK JOSEPH JESSNER, VIENNA, CIRCA 1840The rectangular thirty-hour quadruple going barrel movement striking the quarters on a coiled and sounding and sounding the hour every quarter on a second large gong, the going train with duplex escapement incorporating two escape wheels mounted next to each on the same arbor positioned between the plates, regulated by sprung monometallic balance set behind a pierced balance bridge with jewelled endstone applied to the upper margin of the backplate, the alarm with hammer pivoted towards the lower margin sounding on the smaller gong, the 2.5 inch wide rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with blued steel moon hands and plain alarm setting hand over signature J. Jessner, in Wien to lower margin, the rectangular gilt brass case with repeat button and concealed hinged carrying handle to the fine rococo scroll engraved top surface, over slender canted upper mouldings incorporating rounded angles and repeating leaf bordered bevel-glazing hinge front panel, the sides engraved with further rococo scrollwork and the rear with shuttered winding holes, A/R regulation sector to centre and engraved Jos, Jessner in Wien to lower margin, on skirt base with floral trail decorated canted upper mouldings and rococo scroll engraved panels flanked by curved angles to each side over disc feet.13cm (5.125ins) high with handle down, 8.5cm (3.375ins) wide, 6cm (2.375ins) deep. Joseph Jessner is believed to have been working in Graz (Austria) in around 1806 before moving to Vienna becoming a Master clockmaker in 1814/15. In 1835 he became clockmaker to the Royal Austrian Court, a position which he held until 1848 (when he presumably died). Jessner was a fine maker with two high-precision regulators housed in the Wien Museum, Vienna. Condition Report: The movement is complete and appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The going train is running, the quarter train is also working but is currently not counting correctly during normal running (but will when repeat is activated) hence requires adjustment. The hour train mainspring has gone hence it is not operational although the train itself appears to be sound. The spring for the alarm train has also gone; the mechanism otherwise looks fine although the hammer is detached. The dial appears to have been restored hence appears free form visible defects. The case is generally in very good original condition retaining original gilding albeit with overall edge rubbing and oxidation. The pointer for the regulation adjustment square to the backplate is missing.Clock does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE FRENCH GILT BRASS ANGLAISE RICHE CASED REPEATING CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PAINTED PORCELAIN PANELSRETAILED BY ROWELL AND HARRIS, OXFORD, CIRCA 1880The eight-day two train gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the backplate with stamped serial number 889 to lower left hand corner, the rectangular polychrome painted porcelain dial inscribed ROWELL & HARRIS, OXFORD to centre within fine gilt bordered Roman numeral cartouche chapters and with blued steel spade hands over painted scene of an arcadian garden terrace landscape, the satin gilt anglaise riche case with hinged reeded baton-centred geometric carrying handle and bevelled top glass over fluted frieze to cavetto moulded cornice and fluted three-quarter Corinthian columns to angles, the sides with standing full length portraits of an 18th century gentleman stood before a castle opposing a female companion gathering floral blooms, the rear with bevel-glazed door, on cavetto moulded waisted skirt base incorporating flited band and integral shallow block feet.17cm (6.75ins) high with handle down, 10.5cm (4.125ins) wide, 9cm (3.5ins) deep. The retail jewellers, silversmiths, clock and watchmakers, Rowell of Oxford, were first established by the clockmaker Richard Rowell who moved down from Northumberland to set up business in Broad Street in 1792. He was succeeded by his son, Richard Rouse Rowell, who continued trading from the same address until 1884 when he was, in turn, succeeded by his son Richard Sydenham Rowell who relocated the business to 115 High Street, Oxford. Local directories note that they traded as Rowel and Harris 'watchmakers and opticians' 1887-92 before continuing in the hands of successive members of the Rowell family until being sold on to former employees in 1986; they finally moved out from the High Street address in 1991. Condition Report: Movement appears complete and all original with no visible evidence of alteration or notable replacements. The clock will run but is prone to stopping most likely due to being a little dry/gummed-up hence a gentle clean/service is required. The strike train is fully operational. The silvering to the platform escapement is noticeable discoloured/oxidised and the mechanism is a little tarnished further confirming the need for a gentle clean service. The dial panel has a very slight short vertical hairline crack just below the VI numeral (only detectable on very close examination) otherwise appears free from visible damage or restoration. The right-hand panel (female figure) appears free from visible faults with the exception of some very slight wear; the left hand panel has two conjoining breaks towards the right hand side - these are clean breaks with the exception of one very small chip hence restoration (cleaning and gluing) of the breaks should prove straightforward to a specialist ceramic restorer. The rest of the case is in good original condition retaining gilt finish albeit with overall foxing/oxidation and slight edge wear. The rear door glass has a shallow internal chip to the lower right-hand corner otherwise glasses appear free from damage.Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH BLUE CHAMPLEVE ENAMELLED CARRIAGE CLOCKATTRIBUTED TO THE COUAILLIET FAMILY, SAINT-NICHOLAS-D' ALIERMONT, CIRCA 1900The eight-day two train gong striking movement with replaced platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, stamped 177 to the lower inside edge of the frontplate and with Couaillet-pattern stamped hand-setting arrow to backplate, the dial with cobalt blue and gilt foliate scroll engraved centre within silvered chapter ring incorporating vertical Arabic numerals, with blued steel spade hands within rectangular mask further decorated with symmetrical bird inhabited gilt foliate scrollwork onto a blue enamel ground, the bevel-glazed case with enamelled square section hinged baton handle over conforming foliate scroll and cobalt blue decorated frieze and square section uprights, the rear with pin-hinged door, on conforming decorated skirt base with small squab-type feet; with original tooled red Morocco leather covered protective case with two-part opening front to reveal a silk-lined interior.The clock 13cm (5ins) high with handle down, 8cm (3.125ins) wide, 7cm (2.75ins) deep; the case 16.5cm (6.5ins) high, 10.5cm (4.125ins) wide, 9.5cm (3.75ins) deep. The hand-setting arrow stamp to the movement backplate of the first item in the current lot conforms to that used by the Couaillet family as illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development on page 435. Couaillet Freres are discussed by Leigh Extence in his article The Carriage Clock Makers of Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont published in National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors Bulletin, 2020; where they are described as being one of the most prolific makers of carriage clocks operating from the horological town of Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont (near Dieppe) during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1885 Armand Couaillet was employed by the prominent maker Albert Villon, but in 1892 he and his brothers Denis and Ernest set up their own workshops in the centre of the town as Couaillet freres. They increased the size of the concern when buying the house and workshops of Delépine-Barrois across the road in 1912. Condition Report: The movement is reasonably clean; the going train is currently running however the strike train is not presently operational and is jamming the hands. The spring is sound and there is no obvious visible faults hence probably due to gummed-up oil. As catalogued the escapement platform is a replacement. The dial is in fine condition with only very slight mellowing to the silvering of the chapter ring evident. The case is in very good original condition with no visible chips to the glasses. The front frieze has slight distortion (waviness) to the enamelled section and a couple of very small losses to the enamel otherwise faults are very much limited to a few very small enamel losses and slight patchy oxidation/mellowing to the finish. The case has incomplete carrying strap and wear around the lip of the base most noticeably to the rear as well as general overall light rubbing/scuffing/wear. The interior has some degradation/splitting to the silk lining otherwise is generally sound. Clock has a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN ELIZABETH II SILVER CASED MINIATURE CARRIAGE TIMEPIECECHARLES FRODSHAM, LONDON 1978The eight-day four pillar going barrel movement with Swiss gilt platform lever escapement regulated by spring monometallic balance, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial with diamond lozenge pierced blued steel hands over signature Chas.

The present example however is apparently unnumbered so may have been held in stock and retailed later.

Condition Report: Timepiece movement is wound and will run for a little while before stopping indicating that a gentle clean/service is required. The dial has slight rubbing to the signature and some oil deposits/smears otherwise appears undamaged. The barometer has not yet been 'bag tested' (as we do not currently have access to a bag big enough!) but otherwise appears to be in fine condition with no visible faults to the register. The thermometer has heavy tarnishing to the silvered scale otherwise appears undamaged. The case appears to be in very good original condition with faults limited to some oxidation/rubbing to the areas of gilding and a couple of tiny edge chips to the marble base.Timepiece is complete with a key. Condition Report Disclaimer
