Provenance: Brocket Hall, Hertfordshire Pierre-Honoré-César Pons was born in Paris in 1773 and after studying with the Jesuits in the rue Mouffetard he went to train under the eminent clockmaker Antide Janvier. Unfortunately the unrest of the French Revolutionary period disrupted his training but he was recommended by Janvier to the prestigious Lepaute family who took him on in 1798. Pons completed his training under the Lepautes and developed an interest in precision horology; in 1803 he opened his own workshop rue de la Huchette, near the Place Saint-Michel. In order to satisfy the financial demands of running a workshop, whilst taking time to work on the development of precision horology, Pons acted as supplier of movements to many the eminent horologists of the period such as Berthoud, Breguet and Lepine. During this time he developed several escapements and created improved wheel-cutting and pinion polishing machines. With the encouragement of Ferdinand Berthoud in 1804 Pons presented his ‘Observations sur l’échappement libre’ to the Academy of Sciences where it was praised by the jury and the Academy congratulated him.Around this time the French clockmaking town of Saint-Nicholas d’Aliermont was in crisis due to the collapse of the industry. Napoleon’s minister responsible for Fine Arts, Industry and Commerce, the Count de Champagny, ordered the Académie des Sciences to find someone suitable to turn the industry around. Honoré Pons was approached as he had the necessary skills and had developed the tools and practices most appropriate for the task. After a period of reluctance he accepted on the basis that the state will pay him a generous amount for his machines as long as they were installed and used in the Saint Nicholas workshops. By 1808 Pons was producing fine quality ‘blanc-roulants’ for an affordable price which received high praise from makers such as Breguet and recognition by the Academie in their report to Napoleon Bonaparte.Over the following decades Honoré Pons expanded the Saint Nicholas operations and became a principal supplied of movements to the Parisian clockmaking trade from his premises in Paris’s rue de la Barillerie on the île de la Cité. In 1827 he was awarded a gold medal and in 1839 was awarded the Croix de la Légion d’Honneur by King Louis Philippe. In 1846, at the end of an illustrious career, pons sold his firm to Borromée Délépine and retired, living in an elegant Parisian mansion at 20, rue Cassette. The movement of current lot is a faithful and beautifully made clock made in homage to one of Honoré Pons mentors, Ferdinand Berthoud. It is interesting to note that a second clock of exactly the same appearance is in in the collection of the Chateau de Compeigne; it is not known whether this other example also has a movement by Pons or an original mechanism by Berthould. The case of the current lot is beautifully cast and hand finished in bronze doré with visible evidence of hand tooling and burnishing commensurate with the finest products of the Louis XVI period. From this it is perhaps appropriate to speculate that the present clock falls into one of two camps. The first is that the case is a contemporary ‘twin’ of the example in the Chateau de Compeigne but now houses a re-made movement by Pons signed in a similar manner as the original. The second is that entire clock was made in around 1830 as either a very expensive commission or as a ‘tour de force’ to demonstrate that Parisian clockmaking trade were still able to produce examples equal (or better) than those made before the revolution.

A Victorian mahogany five-glass mantel timepiece, John Poole, London, mid 19th century The four columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with anchor escapement regulated by disc bob pendulum with holdfast to the backplate, the 4.25 inch silvered brass Roman numeral dial signed J. POOLE, 57 FENCHURCH ST., LONDON to centre, with blued steel spade hands and rococo scroll engraved decoration to spandrels areas, the case with bevel-glazed rectangular top panel above cavetto moulded cornice and silvered brass canted fillet inset glazed dial aperture to the front door, the sides with conforming rectangular bevel glazed panels, the rear with rectangular glazed door, the base with ogee outline apron over cavetto moulded skirt and squab feet, 24cm (9.5ins) high. John Poole was a fine chronometer maker who was born in 1818 and set up business in 1833 at 9 York terrace. In circa 1850 Poole devised his own auxiliary compensation for the balance, which was used as standard by many other makers. He worked from several other addresses in the Clerkenwell area including 57 Fenchurch Street, London during the 1850’s. In 1865 his home address was 14 River Street, Myddleton Square where he died by suicide in 1867, the year he won a Gold Medal in Paris. His business was continued by his brother James Poole (born 1816) who had been part of the firm specializing in watches. After the latter's death in 1900, the business was carried on by his son, also James.

A fine silvered and gilt brass grande-sonnerie striking cariatides carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm Probably by Henry Jacot, Paris, late 19th century The eight-day two train movement ting-tang striking the quarters on a graduated pair of gongs and sounding the hour every quarter hour on the larger of the two, with silvered platform lever escapement and alarm sounding on the smaller gong, the dial with rectangular silvered mask enclosing recessed circular white enamel disc with green line rosette centre within cartouche Roman numeral chapters and entwined scroll half hour markers, with blued steel spade hands over conforming subsidiary alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel-glazed frosted gilt break-arch cariatides case with hinged reeded carrying handle over thick curved top glass to pediment inset with a cast silvered laurel wreath to tympanum, The cornice with reeded band over, Classical female term applied canted angles, on conforming reeded band decorated ogee moulded base with stepped skirt, the underside with G’de Sonnerie/Silence/P’te Sonnerie selection lever, 18cm (7.25ins) high excluding handle. The current lot can be directly compared to an example attributed to Henry Jacot illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and other Travelling CLOCKS on page 107 (Fig. 6-44) where the design of the dial is noted as ‘typical of his work’. Another clock by Jacot in a case of identical form is illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development page 172 (Plate VII/24) as well as on the rear of the dust jacket. Henry Jacot is recorded 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. Henri Jacot senior died in 1868 and was succeeded by his nephew of the same name. The business is thought to have continued until around 1920. Please note: As an addendum to the above footnote the information provided by Allix and Bonnert relating to the business being succeeded by Henri’s nephew of the same name is incorrect. Research undertaken by Leigh Extence has revealed that after his death in 1868, Henri's business was continued by his brother Julien who was actually 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.

A fine and rare French engraved gilt brass carriage clock with two-plane 'chaffcutter' escapement Attributed to Paul Garnier, Paris, retailed by A. Demeur, Brussels, circa 1845 The eight-day two train movement with two-plane 'chaffcutter' escapement regulated by three-arm monometallic balance set between the plates and countwheel striking the hours on a bell mounted on the backplate concealing stamped number 1719 to centre, the fine rococo scroll engraved rectangular gilt brass dial flush fitted with a Roman numeral blue-on-white enamel hour disc inscribed A. DEMEUR. H’er de laCour, BRUXELLES to centre and with blued steel trefoil hands, the gilt brass one-piece caddy moulded bevel-glazed case with hinged slender baton handle above fine foliate scroll and herringbone band engraved frame incorporating upward sliding rear panel decorated with rococo motifs and with shuttered winding holes, on cavetto moulded panel-engraved skirt base with inset rounded angles, 12.5cm (5ins) high excluding handle. Paul Garnier is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development as born 1801 and studying under Antide Janvier before setting up his own workshops in 1825. Garnier was awarded Silver Medals in the Paris Exhibitions of 1827, 34, and 39; and gold medals in 1844 and 49. He worked from various addresses at Rue Taitbout, Paris and died in 1869 leaving the business to his son of the same name who was still exhibiting carriage clocks in the Paris Exhibition of 1889. In 1916 Paul Garnier’s watch and clock collection was bequeathed to the Louvre. Garnier is generally credited for being the first maker to essentially standardise the 'petit pendule portative' which was in effect to become the prototype for the archetypal French carriage clock. The current lot utilises Garniers 'chaffcutter' escapement -the design of which is based on Sully and Debaufre’s frictional rest watch/chronometer escapements. The engraved one-piece caddy moulded case is typical of Garnier’s second series and can be closely compared with an example illustrated in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development on pages 62 and 63 (Plates II/30 and 31); both clocks also share the same blued steel trefoil hands.

Lara Croft's (Alicia Vikander) dial puzzle from Roar Uthaug's action-adventure film Tomb Raider. Lara Croft found a dial puzzle when she uncovered her father Lord Richard Croft's (Dominic West) research room, and later unlocked the puzzle on board Lu Ren's (Daniel Wu) ship as it sailed towards the island of Yamatai. The puzzle comprises six wooden discs threaded onto a metal rod. Red paint has been applied to the outer ring of some sections. Hieroglyphic-inspired text has been drawn in coloured ink on strips of masking tape, which has been applied around four of the discs. Finished in faux-gold paint, one section features two cogs which spin around when when the top disc is twisted. Some of the discs can rotate, if handled with care, although the mechanism is fragile. Tape has begun to peel away in some places and the puzzle exhibits minor paint wear from production use. The lot is accompanied by a studio certificate of authenticity.

Her work can be found in the collections of The National Museum Scotland, Incorporation of Goldsmiths of the City of Edinburgh, The Goldsmiths Company London and likely the largest grouping within The Pearson Silver Collection. Artistic from an early age, Maureen Edgar started her art training with an evening class at Glasgow School of Art and was latterly accepted to Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee. Here she moved from painting to the silver and jewellery department where she found her passion. Like many of the period, she trained under the eye of Bernard Harrington. It was in 1977 that she applied, and to her own surprise, was accepted to the Royal College of Art and would further her training under Gerald Benney for three years. In Maureen's own words about working with Benney 'This was my biggest opportunity'. Building from her training at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art this would prove to be the final link in the chain turning Maureen fully into an enameller. Her work was almost immediately a success and even early in her career she was gaining a reputation and large commissions. This early success perhaps explains the relative rarity of her jewellery as she immediately found work in larger commissions such as goblets, eggs and napkin rings. Sadly, due to ill health her career was cut short prematurely and she retired from working in 1999, with her final commission being the cruet set for The Millennium Collection of silver for Bute House. For a full biography and illustrations of much of her important work see 'Designer British Silver' John Andrew and Derek Styles page 194 - 199.
