A FRENCH/SWISS LAQUERED BRASS GORGE CASED CALENDAR CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH PUSH-BUTTON REPEAT AND ALARML'EPEE, SAINTE-SUZANNE, FRANCE, LATE 20th CENTURYThe eight-day two train gong striking movement with platform lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, the inside of the frontplate stamped with serial number 00001466, the backplate with alarm to upper left and stamped with circular L'Epee, 1889 crossed swords trademark to centre over MADE IN FRANCE, 11 ELEVEN JEWELS UNADJ. to lower margin, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial inscribed L'Epee, Fondie en 1839, Sainte-Suzanne, France to centre and with Arabic five minutes to outer track, over subsidiary alarm setting dial flanked by further day-of-the-week and date-of-the-month dials, the bevel-glazed gorge case with hinged carrying handle over full-width top glass, trip-repeat button to front rail, channel-moulded uprights, and pin-hinged door to rear, on ogee-outline base.15cm (6ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8.5cm (3.375ins) deep. Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition. The alarm is out-of-sync with the hands (approx. 2 hours out) and the strike train often only strikes once at the hour (but repeats fine) suggesting that the rack is sticking - hence the movement requires a gentle clean/service. The subsidiary calendar dials are advancing correctly shortly after midnight. The dial appears free form any visible faults and the case is also in fine original condition with no visible chips or other damage to the glasses and light oxidation to the brass (mostly to the mounding bordering the top glass) only.Clock is complete with a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A DUTCH WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY MONTH DURATION LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASE AND ALARMJAN GOBELS, AMSTERDAM, THIRD QUARTER OF THE 18th CENTURYThe five pillar rack striking movement with five- wheel trains and pin-wheel deadbeat escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the strike train sounding the hours in the Dutch manner both at the hour then again on the half hour on a smaller bell, the right hand side of the plates applied with a transverse alarm mechanism incorporating verge-type crownwheel engaging with a pallet arbor fitted with a T-shaped hammer for sounding on the larger hour bell positioned above the plates, the 13 inch brass break-arch dial with alarm setting disc, subsidiary seconds dial, calendar aperture and ringed winding holes to the scroll engraved matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track and signed Jan Gobels, Amsterdam to lower margin, with scroll-pierced steel hands and cast figural 'four seasons' spandrels to angles within a herringbone engraved outer border, beneath arch incorporating rolling moonphase engraved with age of the moon to the edge of the disc set behind a pair of scroll-engraved lunettes to lower margin beneath a herringbone border to the arch, the case with carved giltwood Atlas and trumpeting nymph figural finials set on the bell-shaped caddy superstructure inlaid with floral trails, over break-arch cornice centred with a foliate carved crest and with blind fret frieze over integral three-quarter columns applied to the foliate trail inlaid hinged glazed dial aperture, the sides with break-arch scroll-pieced sound frets within conforming borders and quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with leaf decorated concave throat moulding over break-arch caddy moulded door inlaid with urn set on a pedestal issuing flowering foliate around a central lenticle, with scroll detailed edge mouldings and butterflies to upper quadrants within a chevron band flanked by canted angles decorated with foliate trails, the sides further inlaid with urns issuing bird inhabited foliage, the ogee-shaped plinth base with cavetto cop mouldings, canted angles and overall conforming floral marquetry decoration, on inlaid cavetto skirt base with lions paw front feet.255cm (100.5ins) high excluding finials, 290cm (114ins) high overall; 57cm (22.5ins) wide, 32cm (12.5ins) deep. Jan Gobels is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Amsterdam in 1767. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean condition and appears to be in working order with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The escapement may be a slightly later 'upgrade' however there are no spare holes etc so could well be original. The alarm is complete except for rope line and driving weight. Movement is a little dusty hence a precautionary gentle clean service is advised. Dial is in good clean condition with only slight mellowing to finishes and there is no visible evidence of alteration or notable replacements. The seatboard appears original and rests on cheek uprights of the case with no visible evidence of adjustment hence we are of the belief that the movement and dial are original to the case. The case is generally in sound original condition. The finials are intact except for the fingers of one angel which are missing; the wings are currently detached bit present with the clock. There are three holes to the top of the arch moulding suggesting an alternative lower position for the finials or that the clock has other additional finials at some point. There is some lifting to the fretwork in the arch and both hood side frets have been pushed-in a little hence are now bowed with a couple of minor losses. The side panels of the plinth show movement hence opening of the joints to the top edges, there are also some light cracks etc to each. Case otherwise is in very sound original condition with faults very much limited to relatively minor shrinkage, wear, a few age-related bumps and scuffs, some historic consolidation/gluing and other blemishes. The colour is a little dry faded.Clock has pendulum, pair brass-cased weights, crank winding key and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Maurice and Company are recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development as working from Rue Charlot 75, Paris and showed carriage clocks in the Paris Exhibition of 1889. They were fine makers who specialised in cloisonne enamel clocks with unusual dials. Their sole agents in Britain were E. Pitcher and Company of 3 Clerkenwell Road, London and they were succeeded by Blanpain. Condition Report: Movement is in full working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements; however, the mechanism is somewhat dirty/discoloured hence a gentle clean service is required if intending to put into long term service. The dial has overall tarnishing/discolouration to the finish otherwise is in very good original condition. The case has some slight streaky oxidation to the finish otherwise is in fine condition although the front glass has a slight chipping to the lower right-hand corner and the left-hand side some barely noticeable chipping to the upper left (glasses otherwise appear free from visible defects).

A FINE FRENCH CHAMPLEVE ENAMELLED GILT BAMBOO CASED CENTRE-SECONDS REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCKUNSIGNED, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURYThe two train eight-day gong striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance, the inside of the frontplate indistinctly stamped with number 559 to lower margin, the backplate with alarm mechanism with hammer sounding on the hour gong to upper left corner and stamped with number 11355 to lower left, the circular gilt Roman numeral dial with blued steel hands incorporating sweep centre seconds, set within rectangular champleve enamelled mask polychrome decorated in the Japonesque style with floral blooms and leafy trails into a turquoise blue ground and incorporating gilt Arabic alarm setting dial to lower margin, the bevel-gazed case with frame modelled to resemble sections of bamboo overlapping at the corners and with each segment champlevé enamelled with further polychrome floral sprays into a turquoise blue ground ground, with conforming hinged carrying handle to the gilt panel-glazed top, pin-hinged glazed door to rear and on angled bamboo feet. 16.5cm (6.5ins) high with handle down, 11cm (4.25ins) wide, 9.5cm (3.75ins) deep. French carriage clocks in bamboo cases which feature enamelled decoration to the frame itself are particularly notable in their rarity. A centre-seconds clock (but with plain white enamel dial), with closely related enamel decoration to the frame of the current lot, is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling Clocks on page 202 (Figure 12.9). Another very similar clock to the present example, but with cream ground to the enamel and no centre seconds, was sold in these rooms FINE CLOCKS, BAROMETERS & SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS 2nd October 2019 (lot 129) for £2,400 hammer. Condition Report: The movement is fully operational and appears complete with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The strike train sounds correctly and the alarm mechanism will wind, set and release as it should. The movement is generally a little discoloured hence a gentle clean/service is advised. The dial is in good condition with no visible damage, the black of the numerals however have been re-touched. The case is in good original condition although there is a general degree of light bruising and some touching-in to the turquoise ground enamel of the frame most notably to the handle, front rail and left hand upright (as well as other areas to a lesser degree). There is a chip revealing the brass beneath to the front lower rail towards the left corner (images available on request). The front glass has a noticeable chip to the upper left corner and both the bottom corners have slight chips. The top glass also has a slight corner chip; otherwise the side and rear glasses appear free from visible chips (the left hand side glass may be a replacement). The gilding to the case is in fine condition and overall the clock presents well.Clock does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

AN UNUSUAL FRENCH BRASS CARRIAGE TIMEPIECE WITH TWIN CALENDAR INDICATIONUNSIGNED, CIRCA 1900The eight-day single train movement with replaced platform lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, the rectangular white enamel dial with blued steel moon hands over twin subsidiary dials for day-of-the-week in French and date-of-the-month to lower margin, the bevel glazed obis case with hinged carrying handle and caddy-moulded uprights; with a French gilt brass carriage timepiece with alarm, unsigned, with replaced platform lever escapement and white enamel Arabic numeral hour disc set within gilt mask with alarm setting dial to lower margin, in an obis case and with leather-covered travelling case; and a French gilt brass carriage clock, probably by Emile Gay and Georges Lamaille, Paris, circa 1900, with eight-day gong-striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance and stamped with E.G.L. oval trademark and PARIS to centre over serial number 3054 to lower left hand corner, with white enamel Arabic numeral chapter ring within a rectangular gilt mask to dial, the gilt corniche case with hinged carrying handle and caddy moulded uprights to angles, (3).The calendar timepiece 11.5cm (4.5ins) high with handle down, 8.5cm (3.125ins) wide, 7cm (2.75ins) deep. 

A FINE GILT BRASS GORGE CASED MID-SIZED TING-TANG HOUR STRIKING AND REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK CHARLES OUDIN, PARIS, CIRCA 1855The two train eight-day movement ting-tang striking the full hour both on the hour and the half hour on a graduated pair of gongs, with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance and alarm mechanism to the top left sounding on the larger of the two gongs, the plates unusually engraved to the edges for the makers CHARLES OUDIN. PALAIS-ROYAL. 52. PARIS and HORLOGER DE LA MARINE DE L'ETAT to one side opposing repeat name and place followed by MEDAILLES AUX EXPOSITIONS DEPUIS 1806 with the inscriptions split across both the front and the backplates, the inside of the backplate numbered 1463 to lower margin and the outside stamped 1475 to lower left hand corner, the circular white enamel Roman numeral hour with blued steel moon hands set within a fine filiate scroll engraved rectangular mask incorporating subsidiary enamel alarm setting dial to lower margin, the frosted gilt bevel-glazed gorge case with tall hinged carrying handle over full-width top glass, trip-repeat button to front rail, channel-moulded uprights, and pin-hinged door to rear, on ogee-outline base.13cm (5.125ins) high with handle down, 8cm (3.125ins) wide, 7cm (2.75ins) deep. Charles Oudin was a highly notable watchmaker who initially worked, alongside his cousin Joseph, under Abraham-Louis Breguet who held them both in high esteem. In 1801 Oudin established himself at 65 Galerie de Pierre and is noted as working from various addresses nearby 1809-11 before settling at Palais Royal, 52 in 1812. He participated in the Exhibitions of the Products of French Industry in 1806 and 1819 and was awarded medals for 'a watch that was wound by the pendant' and 'a watch with moon phases and synodic months' at the former. At the 1819 exhibition, the firm also exhibited, among other things, an 'equation watch with an ingenious system' which was also favourably received. Charles Oudin retained his connection with the Breguet workshop often inscribing 'élève de Breguet' alongside his signature. In June 1836 the business was passed onto his son, Charles Raymond, who continued producing fine-quality timepieces before selling the business to fellow watchmaker, Amédée Charpentier, in 1857. The firm then traded under the name Oudin-Charpentier into the 20th century. Condition Report: The movement appears complete with no visible alteration or notable replacements. Although it is in dirty/neglected condition the going train will run and the strike/repeat is operational. The strike is currently sounding half an hour ahead (ie. ting-tangs the next hour at the half hour). The alarm mechanism will wind and can be set, but is not releasing hence is currently not operational. The outer gong has been re-attached to its the block which would benefit from a little fettling/finishing. Movement generally requires a gentle clean/service. The dial appears to be in very fine condition with only a handful of minor specks to the hour enamel disc visible on close examination. The case is generally in very fine condition with no discernible wear or discolouration to the gilding. The handle is of unusual shape hence could be a replacement - there is also what appears to be braze repair to the right-hand side of the baton-turning (just before the down-curve). The front glass has a miniscule chip to the lower left-hand corner (only visible on very close examination), otherwise glasses appear free from visible faults.Clock does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III OAK CASED THIRTY-HOUR HOODED WALL ALARM TIMEPIECEHENRY WARBURTON, WOLVERHAMPTON, CIRCA 1760The four pillar single-handed movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, and external alarm mechanism planted on a steel plate secured to the right-hand side of the movement sounding via a vertically pivoted hammer on a bell set above the plates, the 6.5 inch square brass dial with silvered Arabic numeral alarm setting disc to the delicate leafy scroll centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fine leaf engraved half hour markers and signed Henry, Warburton, W:hampton to lower margin, with scroll pierced steel hand and conforming triangular baton and cruciform motif decorated foliate engraved infill to the spandrel areas, the hood with architectural ogee and cavetto moulded cornice over hinged glazed dial aperture applied with turned three-quarter Doric columns to front angles, the sides with conforming quarter columns set against the rear edge, over slender half-round chin moulding, the bracket with seatboard supported on two stepped ogee-profile side supports applied to a rectangular backboard; together with a later purpose-made floor-standing 'longcase' stand, probably early to mid 20th century, with concave throat moulding over rectangular door centred with a small glazed lenticle and with half-round edge mouldings to trunk, over plinth base with concave top moulding and bracket feet.The hooded wall case 53.5cm (21ins) high, 30cm (11.75ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep; as a longcase 166.5cm (65.5ins) high, 31.5cm (12ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep overall. Henry Warburton is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Wolverhampton 1760-72. The later longcase-type floor standing base included in the current lot appears to have been purpose-made to allow the timepiece to be presented as a miniature longcase clock, by simply slotting the hooded wall case into the top of the trunk. Condition Report: The movement is in good original condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is essentially in working condition however is generally a little dirty/neglected hence would benefit from a gentle clean/lubrication. The dial plate is a little distorted/bent but appears free of problematic creases or cracks. The silvering is in good condition with minor oxidation only. The hooded case is in very good original condition and of particularly nice colour with faults very much limited to slight wear and shrinkage. The seatboard is original but has some historic worm damage (not active and non-structural). The later trunk/plinth is in good condition with faults limited to minor shrinkage, edge rubbing to the finish and other minor age related blemishes. Clock has pendulum (as well as a spare rod and suspension spring), and weights for both the going and alarm trains. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE II/III POSTED THIRTY-HOUR WEIGHT-DRIVEN WALL ALARM TIMEPIECEUNSIGNED, SOUTHERN ENGLAND, MID 18th CENTURYThe posted frame with rectangular section corner uprights rivetted to both the top and bottom plates enclosing three-wheel going train incorporating anchor escapement for regulation by long pendulum swinging behind the frame to the rear, with crown-wheel weight-driven alarm mechanism applied to the inside of brass backplate sounding on bell mounted above the top-plate via a t-shaped vertically pivoted hammer, the rectangular dial with silvered Arabic alarm setting disc to the rococo foliate scroll engraved centre within 5.75 inch applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with diamond lozenge half hour markers, with steel fleur-de-lys hand beneath applied pierced and engraved dolphin fret and a bell surmounted by a brass ball-and-spire finial, mounted on a later mahogany wall bracket with break-arch back panel applied with shaped side brackets supporting a rectangular table over double-scroll outline base.The clock 24.5cm (9.75ins) high, 14.5cm (5.75ins) wide, 13.5cm (5.25ins) deep including pendulum crutch, the clock on bracket 41cm (16.25ins) high, 18cm (7ins) wide, 14cm (5.5ins) deep. Although unsigned the style engraving to the centre of the dial would suggest that the present timepiece was made in Southern England during the middle of the 18th century. Indeed, related engraving seen on table clock backplates is described in Dzik, Sunny ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 within the chapter titled Vine Engraving, 1740-1770 (pages 337-357). Condition Report: The trains both appear all-original with the only exception being the escape wheel collet suggesting that the wheel has been off its arbor at some time (possibly to make an adjustment for wear?) The pinions show noticeable wear however timepiece is in working order although a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised; the pendulum crutch is probably a replacement. The hand, fret, bell and finial are later replacements; each side of the top plate has two spare threaded holes suggesting that side frets were also fitted. Single pin holes to the centre of both sides of the top and bottom plates also indicate that side panels were also fitted (pinned into place) at some point. The wall bracket has residue form parcel tape (used by a previous removal company) which should be fairly straightforward to remove. Timepiece has weights for both the strike and alarm trains but no pendulum. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE FRENCH ENGRAVED GILT BRASS GORGE CASED GRANDE-SONNERIE STRIKING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK DROCOURT, PARIS, FOR GROHE, LONDON, CIRCA 1880The 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 regulated by sprung split bimetallic balance and alarm mechanism positioned to the top left sounding on the smaller gong, the inside of the front plate stamped 9824 and the backplate with stamped oval D C trademark for Drocourt to centre left over repeat serial number 9824 to the lower left corner, the dial with circular white enamel Roman numeral disc inscribed GROHE, WIGMORE STREET, LONDON to centre, incorporating Arabic five minutes beyond the minute track and with blued steel moon hands, set within a fine foliate trail border engraved mask incorporating rectangular-outline panel interrupted by the subsidiary alarm setting dial flanked by leafy sprays to lower margin, the satin gilt bevel-glazed gorge case with leafy trail decorated hinged lobed carrying handle over oval top glass within floral spandrel engraved recessed panel and with repeat button to front rail, with repeating oval motif engraved complex upper mouldings over bright-cut decorated channelled corner uprights, the rear with pin-hinged glazed door, on generous ogee-shaped base further engraved with a stylised husk band of over leafy floral trails onto a matted ground, the underside with STRIKING/SILENT/FULL STRIKING selection lever.14cm (5.5ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8cm (3.125ins) deep. Provenance:The property of a deceased gentleman. James Grohe is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in London 1832-81. Leigh Extence notes his address being 7 Wigmore Street and that he retailed clocks supplied by both Holingue and Drocourt. Pierre Drocourt is recorded in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development with further additions and corrections from research undertaken by Leigh Extence (available online) as born in 1819 and setting up in business as a clockmaker in Paris in 1853. He initially worked from Rue Limoges (later called 28 Rue Debelleyme after the rationalisation and merger of Streets in 1865), Paris and was succeeded by his son, Alfred (born 1847), in 1872. The blancs roulants, rough movements, were made in Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont, a town outside Dieppe, where Drocourt had workshops until their sale in 1904, being premises purchased from Holingue frères in 1875 who had previously supplied Drocourt. The firm was awarded numerous international exhibition medals and mentions including Silver in Paris 1878 and Gold in 1889. Condition Report: Movement is complete, clean and appears all-original with no visible evidence of alteration or with noticeable replacements. The going train is running however the grande-sonnerie striking train is not currently operational as there appears to be a power issue. The mainspring will not currently wind on its ratchet but the train will run and strike when torque is applied to the train via the winding key (as though it is being wound). The alarm is in working condition. The dial appears free from visible damage or other faults although the retailers signature is a little rubbed. The case is in fine condition with minimal discernible wear to the gilding and only slight mellowing. The glasses appear free from visible damage/chips.Clock has a winding/setting key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH ENGRAVED GILT CENTRE-SECONDS REPEATING ALARM CARRIAGE CLOCK MADE FOR THE CHINESE MARKETATTRIBUTED TO CHARLES JOSEPH, PARIS, FOR RETAIL BY L. VRARD AND COMPANY, SHANGHAI, CIRCA 1890The eight-day two train bell striking movement with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung balance, the inside of the frontplate stamped 688, 2478 to lower right-hand corner and the backplate applied with external visible strikework, the alarm mechanism set between the plates to the bottom left and sounding on a second bell mounted within the base of the case, the backplate also stamped with number 689 to the lower left opposing Chinese characters to the right, the rectangular white enamel Roman numeral dial signed L. VIRARD & Co., SHANGHAI, HANKOW to centre, with blued steel moon hands and sweep centre seconds over Arabic numeral alarm setting dial to lower margin, the gilt bevel-glazed gilt brass cannelee case with hinged faceted baton carrying handle over oval top glass set within floral spray spandrel engraved matted surround incorporating repeat button to front edge, with wavy floral trail engraved channel-moulded uprights and the rear with glazed pin-hinged door, on ogee moulded skirt base finely engraved with further symmetrical foliate trails into a matted ground; with original maroon velvet covered protective outer travelling case.The clock 16cm (6.25ins) high with handle down, 9.5cm (3.75ins) wide, 8,5cm (3.375ins) deep. An essentially identical carriage clock to the present lot is listed by Leigh Extence (stock ref. 1014 for £3,500), with the description indicating that the movement carries the trademark for the roulant blanc maker 'C, Joseph'. Extence notes records of a Charles Joseph being born in 1738 and dying in 1804; who was also known to have been in Shaghai in 1784. This maker was probably a predecessor (father perhaps) of the maker of the movement of the clock listed by Extence (and most likely that of the present lot). A Charles P.H. Joseph is recorded in Tardy DICTIONNAIRE DES HORLOGERS FRANCAIS as subsequently working in Paris 1852-1935. Extence adds that he worked from Rue Amelot 114, Paris, and showed clocks at the 1889 and 1900 Paris Exhibitions.  The velvet covering for the travelling case if the present lot was apparently preferred for clocks destined for the Chinese market. The current case is notable in that it has survived in good condition with the original velvet intact. Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. A gentle clean and lubrication however is probably advisable if intending to put into daily service. The dial is in fine condition being free from visible cracks and chips and faults apparently limited to a couple of tiny surface scratches; the hands a appear original and undamaged. The dial is in very good condition with faults apparently limited to very small corner chips to two of the rear door glass; the gilding is near immaculate. The travelling case is in very good original condition with some scuffing/bruising to the upper edges red silk-lined interior from the clock being inserted over the years. The exterior has overall slight fading and edge wear but is generally very good considering the age and the nature of the covering. The strap handle is intact but some of the stitching to the velvet covering has degraded causing it to open out as well as having a short tear.Clock is complete with a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
