Ticking and striking, with case key, crank winding key, pendulum and a pair of brass-clad weights. 1.93m (6ft 4ins) high.Footnotes:Provenance:P.A. Oxley, 4 April 1997.John Ebsworth was apprenticed to Richard Aymes (also spelt Ames) in 1657, meaning he was likely born around 1643. Richard Aymes is known to have worked in Holborn, near St. Andrews Church, so it seems likely that this is where Ebsworth served his apprenticeship. A Christopher Ebsworth is also noted as being apprenticed to Aymes in 1662, and he was described as a clockmaker after his apprenticeship. It remains unknown what his relationship to John was, though he has long been assumed to be the younger brother, given his later date of apprenticeship. He was not listed in John's will, but he may simply have died before John. John gained his freedom of the Clockmakers Company in 1665, before moving into a shop 'at the Cross[ed] Keys in Lothbury'. This may have been on the same site as Knifton's former premises which were destroyed in the Great Fire, to the far south-west of Lothbury. When Lothbury was rebuilt, Ebsworth may have chosen to occupy a site well-known for clocks from Knifton's occupancy since 1646. Lothbury was a popular centre for clock workshops from the 1630s onwards; the area had long been associated with metal workers and founders. This association goes back, certainly as far as 1508, with some suggestion of going as far back as 1365, and the establishment of the Founder's Company. Given the easy access to all the raw materials, it is natural that the early clockmakers would be found here too. Interestingly, Richard Aymes was apprenticed to Peter Closon, a famed early lantern clock maker, and when Knifton died in early 1667, Aymes was one of the appraisers of his estate. Closon, Knifton, and Ebsworth all have clocks which used the 'matchstick man' casting mark. This mark has been associated primarily with Lothbury clockmakers, between the 1630's until about 1685. The mark has been variously ascribed as being the mark of the founder, the casting firm, or another specific individual. John Ebsworth is also recorded as working at 'New Cheap Side, however, the uniformity of his style makes it difficult to tell where he worked first, but any work signed from the Cross[ed] Keys is likely to date from the rebuilding of Lothbury by the early 1670s; Ebsworth had an extensive output of products which included lantern, bracket and longcase clocks, pocket watches, and even sundials.He continued to climb the ranks of the Clockmakers Company throughout his career, becoming a warden by 1695; in October of that year, he and another warden, Edward Stanton, were present when the apprentice George Graham gained his freedom of the Company. Two years later, Ebsworth was the Master of the Company. That he was financially secure at this point is seen by his investment in 1694 of £1,000 in the burgeoning Bank of England. This is the largest amount invested by any recorded clockmaker, with the exception of Thomas Tompion, who also invested £1,000. Ebsworth died in 1699, appointing his wife Susanna the sole executor of his will and Edward Stanton as the overseer, as well as instructing Stanton to provide business advice to Susanna. In total, he willed £570 to his three cousins and their children, with the promise of giving them more, should Susanna remarry within two years of his death. He was buried in St.Margaret's, Lothbury, a short walk from his home and workshop, and his memorial may still be seen there.His timepieces remain highly prized; a longcase by Ebsworth is on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and one of his table clocks was presented to the Duke of York in 1923 to celebrate his marriage and is still kept running at Clarence House.Nye, J. and Doherty, C.

A GOOD SIGNED AND DATED LATE 17TH CENTURY BRASS STRIKING LANTERN CLOCKWilliam Holloway, Stroud 1685Surmounted by a strapped bell and five inverted acorn finials between pierced addorsed dolphin frets (the centre with engraved details and shading), the four corner finials cast as one with the pillars and squat ball feet, the wide Roman chapter ring with fleur de lys half hour markers and an inner quarter-hour track framing the signed and dated centre with single steel hand and decorated with a ring of flowers encircling the Arabic alarm-setting disc. The weight driven movement with anchor escapement and countwheel strike on the bell above. 40.5cms (15.5ins) high.Footnotes:William Holloway was born in 1633 in Market Lavington, Wiltshire. His father, John Holloway, was also a clockmaker and it is thought his father was apprenticed to John Snow(e); himself a member of a well-known horological family. A very early lantern clock made by John Holloway, dated to 1611, is known; the entire clock is made of iron, except for the brass chapter ring. William's brother John also pursued clockmaking, a lantern clock by him having been sold by Bonhams in June 2007.William moved to Stroud in his early life, and seems to have made mostly lantern clocks, though a blue lacquered eight-day longcase clock from around 1680 is known by him. The lion and unicorn on either side of a shield is a well-known fret on lantern clocks. Holloway is known to have achieved at least two clockmaking 'firsts'; the earliest, verifiable use of the lion and unicorn fret was by him in 1662, and just 8 years later his was the earliest confirmed date of a verge escapement and short pendulum used outside of London. He is thought to have died around 1693.Two of his sons, both remarkably named William, seemed to have moved to London. One was a cooper and the other a watchmaker. William the watchmaker, was made free of the Clockmaker's Company in 1697; a particularly stunning glazed balance cock watch is known by this William Holloway. He died in London around 1724/1725, though he maintained a freehold estate in Stroud Gloucestershire, which he passed down to one of his four children, William Holloway, the other children being Ann, Elizabeth, and Hannah.Robey, J.

A FINE LATE 17TH CENTURY EBONY VENEERED QUARTER-REPEATING TABLE TIMEPIECELangley Bradley, LondonThe caddy top with tied bud handle and four ball finials over a well-moulded cornice and base on button feet. The 6.75-inch dial framed by well-cast winged cherubs' head spandrels framing the silvered chapter ring, the periphery of which has Arabic five-minute numerals interrupted by half-quarter marks, around a minute band and Roman hour ring with fancy half-hour markers, the finely matted centre with chamfered mock pendulum aperture and signature between V and VII. The single gut fusee movement with knife-edge verge escapement repeating the hours and quarters on three bells and hammers via the repeat cord to the side, the backplate framed by a stylised wheatear border with shaded corners enclosing a series of symmetrical anemones within foliate scrolls, signed in an open reserve in copperplate script Langley Bradley, London. Ticking and repeating. 38cms (14.5ins) high.Footnotes:Sir Christopher Wren was a key supporter of Bradley's and may have influenced the decision to award him the contract for the new clocks at St Pauls Cathedral, Hampton Court and another in the Admiralty Building. King William III presented a Bradley watch to Wren on completion of St Pauls.Langley Bradley was born in Stepney in 1671, the second of five children born to Martha Curtus and Thomas Bradley, a gardener. In 1688, Langley was apprenticed to Joseph Wise, a member of a well-known horological family. His brother, Thomas Wise, seems to have known Joseph Windmills in some capacity, the latter of whom served as surveyor for Thomas' will. Three months after Thomas' death in 1696, his widow Ann, married Langley Bradley, who had gained his freedom a year earlier. This meant that Bradley was able to buy out Thomas' son's entitlement to his father's tools and materials; the inventory included a number of clock and watch movements, cases and a large clock which hung above the shop in the street. This clock gave Wise's house and shop its name, the Minute Dyall, in Fenchurch Street: Bradley is recorded as working here after his marriage, having previously worked in Whitechapel. The same year, 1696, Bradley assisted William Derham in his writing of the landmark book The Artificial Clockmaker. In 1706, Benjamin Bradley was born; Benjamin was apprenticed to his father in 1721, eventually being made partner in 1728. In 1726, Bradley became a Master of the Clockmakers Company, a position he would hold until 1748. Interestingly, Aynsworth Thwaites, who would go on to establish the Thwaites clock company, was apprenticed to Benjamin Bradley in 1735. The output of the Minute Dyall under the Bradleys was quite diverse, including longcase clocks, lantern clocks, bracket clocks, and watches. The firm also supplied a large number of turret clocks, using techniques Bradley possibly learned as an apprentice from his master's father, a noted turret clock maker. Seventeen turret clocks are known to have been made by Bradley, including one at Blenheim Palace, installed in 1710, whose escapement was later modified by Vulliamy, and one at St. Magnus the Martyr church by London Bridge, installed in 1709. Both these clocks are still working, though the clock for St. Magnus the Martyr has had the striking train disabled. He also maintained several turret clocks he didn't supply, including one supplied by Edward Stanton to the Royal Exchange. His turret clock work was not confined to London, ranging as far afield as Cambridge and Oxford; he is also known to have manufactured his own specialty tools to help him with his turret clock manufacture. Perhaps his most famous project, however, was supplying the original turret clock to St. Paul's cathedral in 1707. It was a massive undertaking, especially as it was desired that the clock should strike and run for eight days on a single wind. Unfortunately, the clock was plagued with time keeping problems; Bradley himself blamed the public, who were allowed to view the clock movement and apparently couldn't resist trying to ring the bell. A contemporary account, however, suggests that the movement itself was not robust enough to deliver the necessary power to drive the very large hands. Consequently, the clock was removed in 1717, and replaced with a thirty-hour clock by Wright and Street. Despite this, Bradley was still appointed Keeper of the Clock for St. Pauls in 1738, a position he held until his death.Benjamin worked at the Minute Dyall until his untimely death in 1744. A year later, the 74-year-old Langley Bradley moved back to Stepney; he continued to maintain a variety of turret clocks, though he no longer worked from a shop. He died in 1753, and the entirety of his estate was passed to his sole living child, Margaret Renard (née Bradley). She would also receive the final payment from St. Dunstan's Church, for Langley Bradley's work on maintaining their turret clock.Hodgson, B.

A mid-18th century ebonised table clock with quarter chime on ten bells and hammersBenjamin Shuckforth, DissThe inverted bell top surmounted by a shaped brass handle above four brass pineapple finials on a moulded cornice, the sides, front and back door glazed panels all set in quarter-round lacquered brass frames, with upper quarter frets to the front and back doors, on a moulded base and brass ogee feet. The eight inch arched brass dial surmounted by the engraved motto Sic Transit Gloria Mundi (Thus the Glory of the World Passes) over a strike/silent subsidiary dial framed by scroll and floral spandrels, the Roman and Arabic chapter ring enclosing the finely matted centre with chamfered recessed plaque signed Benj Shuckforth Diss, over a chamfered date aperture. The triple gut (two now wire) movement with six knopped pillars and verge escapement, sounding the quarters of the hour on ten bells and hammers, the back plate engraved with acanthus vines, flower buds and a floral basket. Ticking with a case key. 58 cms (22.5 ins) highFootnotes:Comparative Literature: Dzik, S. (2019) Engraving on English Table Clocks: Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800, Wild Boar Publications, pg. 343 (S15-1).Benjamin Shuckforth, also Shuckford, was born around 1688. It is unknown who he served his apprenticeship to, however, it has been noted that his clocks are characteristic of London manufacture. There is a possibility then, that either Shuckford or his master learnt clockmaking in London. Assuming he followed the standard apprenticeship path, he would have been able to open his own shop by about 1709, though the first formal record of him is in 1730, when he took John Frost, of Bury St. Edmunds, as an apprentice, charging Frost £21. Two years later, Shuckford had married Dulcibella Dalton, who was part of the landed gentry of Bury St. Edmunds, going back to the early 17th century. Their first child, Benjamin, died shortly after birth, but their second child, also Dulcibella, born in 1734, would survive both her parents.Dulcibella (Snr.) died in 1741 and it appears that Benjamin never remarried. He took another apprentice in 1753, Thomas Jolly. It should be noted that there was a John Shuckford working in Diss as a clockmaker around this time as well. He seems to have been born around 1684, and it is reasonable to assume that he was a relation of Benjamin's, possibly his older brother. One longcase clock is known by him, and the supposition is that he worked with Benjamin for the majority of his career. Shuckford's output seems to have been mainly lantern clocks and longcase clocks, though a wall clock, and a pair case watch are also known by him.John Shuckford died in 1759, and Benjamin followed less than a year later in 1760. The younger Shuckford, described in his will as a watchmaker and cider merchant, left all his wealth to his only surviving child, Dulcibella, who was to be assisted by his good friend William Woolley, a beer brewer from Ipswich. Shuckford's shop was continued by a clock and watch maker named William Shaw, who continued the shop under his own name. It seems likely that Shaw bought the shop outright, as there is no mention of him in Shuckford's will. Shaw had another shop in Botesdale; he would apparently split his time between the two shops. There is no record of him after about 1790, but it remains unknown what happened to him or Shuckford's old shop.Cloutman, E. and Millar, L.

A late 17th century lantern clock in an oak freestanding caseWilliam Raynes, YorkThe delicately strapped bell with five turned finials between three dolphin and floral frets above four slender tapered pillars and two side doors (with slots for the pendulum) on ball feet, with iron hoop to the top plate and spikes below. The 6.25 inch silvered Roman dial, with fleur de lys half-hour markers and single blued steel hand to the Yorkshire rose engraved centre, signed above VI Will Raynes in Yorke. The movement driven by a chain and weight with verge escapement, the pendulum mounted centrally between the trains and swinging through the door slots, countwheel strike on the large bell. Contained in a 17th century oak floorstanding case of pegged construction and excellent colour. Together with two lead weights. 40cms (15.5 ins) highFootnotes:William Raynes was born near Helmsley in Yorkshire in 1638. In 1653, he was sent to London as an apprentice of the clockmaking brothers William and Ralph Almond, being freed in 1660 or 1661. Raynes remained in London, establishing himself in Butcher Row, East Smithfield; all the extant clocks from this London period are lantern clocks. In 1676, he is still listed as living in London, though by 1682 or 1683 he appears to have moved to York; he was certainly there by 1687, in which year he was made a Freeman of the City. Two of his lantern clock dials are very similar, not only to each other, but also to a dial on a clock by Thomas Cruttenden, another York clockmaker, and it seems likely that both Cruttenden and Raynes used the same engraver. William Raynes died in a riding accident on 28th December 1694. There are three lantern clocks and three longcase clocks signed William Raynes in York, one of the longcase clocks having been sold by Bonhams in October 2014. This particular lantern clock has very short collets for the wheels, the collets themselves being integral to the arbor, a practice that was popular among very early London lantern clockmakers. The frets and the centre of the dial are engraved almost exactly the same as the other two lantern clocks by Raynes, and one by Cruttenden, with a York rose in the centre and ferocious looking dolphin/sea monster frets. One of these similar clocks may be seen in Lantern Clocks & Their Makers by Brian Loomes, Figure 18.9, pg. 320.For further reading, see Loomes, B.

A rare late 17th Century ebony table clock by a Knibb apprenticeJohn Drew, LondonThe case with elaborate foliate handle set within floral pommels on petal bases, the domed caddy set with four pierced foliate mounts and framed by berry-and-leaf finials to a moulded cornice over silk-backed cast brass sound frets to the front and sides, on a moulded base and squat bun feet, the front door with brass escutcheons. The 6inch square brass dial enclosed by winged cherubs head spandrels between foliate engraving, the silvered Arabic and Roman chapter ring with five-minute numerals outside the minute band and set with half-quarter marks, the Roman hours interrupted by elaborate half-hour markers, signed at the base Jno. Drew London, the deep blued steel hands reading against the finely matted centre. The twin gut fusee movement united by five knopped and finned pillars, knife-edge verge escapement and solid numbered outside countwheel strike on the bell, the backplate with single line border and symmetrical pattern of richly engraved floral scrolls framing the oval signature cartouche with male mask above the name John Drew Londini Fecit. Secured in the case via a pair of turnbuckles mounted to the rear of the dial. Ticking and striking with two case keys. 37cms (14.5ins) highFootnotes:John Drew was apprenticed to Joseph Knibb for eight years between September 1676 and September 1684, meaning Drew was likely born around 1662. Over the course of his career, he would train eight apprentices, though none appear to have gained their freedom. At some point in his career, likely early on, he was working out of a shop in Johnson Court, on Fleet Street. Lantern clocks and longcase clocks are known by him, including a couple of miniature lantern clocks, one with ting-tang striking. He displayed the same delicate minimalism in his work as was seen by Knibb, and it is easy to see the influence of his master in his work. In 1712 Drew was appointed Beadle of the Company, taking over from the deceased Richard George, an engraver who had held the position for over a decade. The official description of a Livery Beadle's duties was to attend every official Livery function, maintain the peace during meetings, look after robes, etc. Unofficially, at this time, the role was usually given as a source of income to members who had fallen on hard times. Many horologists and allied trades people would see their income disappear if they were to fall ill, their poverty continuing for the duration of their illness. Some trades had a higher-than-average tendency for this, for example, many engravers were known to have short careers due to sight loss; several years of very close, detailed work in pre-electric light conditions would cause them to become partially sighted. This may explain Richard George's long tenure as the Company Beadle.It is unknown why Drew became impoverished; in 1713 he began to receive charity payments from the Company in addition to his role as Beadle. He died around August of that year, though the Company would continue to support his now widow, until her death two years later. Interestingly, Christopher Gould succeeded Drew as the Company Beadle, though again, it is unknown if this was due to ill health on Gould's part. Atkins, C. E.
