A Victorian gilt brass horizontal table clock in the manner of Thomas Cole Unsigned, second quarter of the 19th centuryThe circular frosted gilt eight-day movement with the mainspring barrel and principle wheels of the going train positioned behind the backplate occupying the lower two thirds of the circle with four back-screwed pillars and applied shaped pivot plate, the upper section with oval sub-plate applied with vertical platform lever escapement with sprung bimetallic balance, the frontplate stamped with indistinct monogram, the 2 inch circular white enamel Roman numeral dial with Arabic five minutes to outer track and blued steel arrow hands set within fixed glazed moulded gilt bezel, the geometric case formed as an equilateral triangle with the D-shaped lobes to each of the sides with projecting top panel incorporating complex edge mouldings around applied oval Jasperware intaglio portraits to the curved sections alternating with ball finials to the apex of each of the triangle points between, the base with fine repeating leaf cast projection moulding over ball feet around a frosted glazed circular hinged bezel to underside, 14cm (5.5ins) wide. The current timepiece follows in the fashion for unusual and highly decorative timepieces made popular by Thomas Cole who starting producing finely finished and highly decorative timepieces in his highly distinctive style during the late 1840's. Thomas Cole's style was adopted by many other makers who, after Cole's untimely death of Typhoid fever in 1864, continued in his tradition to satisfy demand. The form of the case has its roots in Renaissance clock and watchmaking, in particular the latter years of the 16th century when unusual-shaped cases for watches and some horizontal table clocks became highly fashionable. The movement of the present timepiece is well made with finely finished plates, and the precision of the construction of the case together with particularly crisp mouldings indicates a quality approach of a highly skilled maker following in Cole's footsteps.

ÉMILE GALLÉ (1864-1904) RARE COROLLA LAMP, 1902-1903 overlaid, acid-etched and fire-polished glass, traces of original gilding to the base, bears maker’s marks to shade and base GALLÉ(shade 35cm high, base 32cm high, approx. total height 64cm)Footnote: Literature: Charpentier, Françoise-Thérèse Le Théâtre du peuple a eu 100 ans cet été 1995, Arts Nouveaux, Bulletin de l'Association des Amis du Musée de l’Ecole de Nancy, 1996, n° 12, pages 3 - 10 where a line drawing of this lamp is illustrated (see illustration) Note: For Émile Gallé, light was a source of justice, truth, and hope. Gallé was inspired by the symbolism of the lamp at a very young age and later he discovered that light also gives other nuances to glass. The arrival of electricity multiplied the decorative possibilities. At the Exposition Universelle of 1889 he created a large ornamental glasswork lamp in the form of a mosque, ‘an immense night-light as if veiled in black silk’. At the Salon du Champ-de-Mars of 1892, he exhibited a ‘violet-aubergine crystal lamp’ inscribed as Twilight with flowers mingled with amethysts and described by the French poet and essayist Sully-Prudhomme at the time; “A large piece of a sumptuous, clouded blood-red purple with ruby shards. Purpurine and livid vegetation is chiselled in relief. The edges are coloured in an opaque dark red to the opening. The frame is made of an inverted corolla in a sculptured palustrine oak.” Gallé really began his interest in electric lighting from 1899, and it is only after the Exposition Universelle of 1900 that he really began to focus his attention on it. He created numerous models in 1902 and in fact supplied examples to the house of his eldest daughter Therese on the occasion of her marriage. He exhibited several lamps at the Marsan Pavilion at the Exposition de l’Ecole de Nancy in 1903 in Paris, which are very similar to the lamp offered here. Electric lighting created by Gallé is characterised by a very pronounced naturalism: hazelwood sconces, iris night-lights, squash girandoles, umbel or flower cluster pendant lamps, columbine suspension lights etc. They are rare and easy to identify - they cannot be confused with the models created in the factory after his death. The lamp presented here is inspired by the snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis). The lampshade and the feet, blown separately, are made of double- glass, the internal layer milky white and the external layer violet-aubergine. The piece is engraved with vegetable acid. Moreover, the feet are engraved in intaglio with stylised snow crystals and a vertical signature Gallé. This lamp is very rare. There is a less rare version with a wrought iron mount that has appeared at auction several times. The interest in these lamps, which date from 1902-03, rests in the fact that they were created by Émile Gallé himself. The majority of lamps that we more commonly find on the market were actually produced by the Etablissements Gallé, twenty years after Gallé’s death in 1904. Lyon & Turnbull would like to thank François Le Tacon for his work in compiling this note.
