A FINE AND RARE ORMOLU MOUNTED BLACK MARBLE MANTEL TIMEPIECE OF IMPRESSIVE PROPORTIONSBENJAMIN LOUIS VULLIAMY, LONDON, NUMBER 1921, 19th CENTURYThe circular eight-day four columnar pillar single chain fusee movement with plates measuring 5.25 inches in diameter and Vulliamy type half deadbeat escapement regulated by heavy disc bob half-seconds pendulum stamped with serial number 1921 and with transverse pivoted beam rise/fall regulation to the suspension, the backplate signed VULLIAMY, LONDON over No. 1921 to centre, the 5 inch circular silvered dial with fine engine-turned centre within narrow Roman numeral chapter ring incorporating engraved signature VULLIAMY, LONDON flanking the XVII numeral centred with the regulation adjustment square, with dot minute markers to outer track and blued steel Breguet type moon hands set within parcel frosted and burnished complex moulded bezel surround, the substantial ormolu mounted black marble case of 'drumhead' design centred with a large cast ormolu surmount modelled as an eagle opening its wings and looking to the left whilst grasping a baton issuing flames from each end draped over the drum housing the movement and dial, the rear of the drum with brass circular brass cover secured by blued steel turn screws, raised via a stepped block-shaped cradle over a wide plinth base applied with finely cast and chiselled fire-gilt bronze figures of recumbent lions modelled after Canova flanking the dial, the front applied with generous apron mount centred with a bearded male mask issuing scrolling acanthus over a stepped skirt.42.5cm (16.75ins) high, 61.5cm (24.25ins) wide, 15cm (16ins) deep. Provenance:Previously sold at Bonhams, Sydney, sale of The Owston Collection, 25th June 2010 (lot 464) for $30,000 AUD where it was noted that the timepiece was acquired from Algy Rothman, Winchester, in 1986. Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as born 1780 to Benjamin Vulliamy and gaining his freedom of the Clockmakers' Company in 1809. He worked from 52 Pall Mall, served as Warden 1821-5 and was appointed Master five times. He was the last of the celebrated dynasty of Royal clockmakers which started with his grandfather, Justin, forming a partnership with George II's clockmaker, Benjamin Gray (see previous lot). Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy was perhaps one of the most influential horologists of his time publishing many works and undertaking numerous high profile public commissions as well as holding the Royal Warrant. He supplied many clocks to the Royal family including the turret clock for Windsor Castle in 1829 (replacing an earlier movement by Joseph Knibb); however his horological legacy is perhaps somewhat slightly blighted by his tendency to undertake controversial alterations to earlier important clocks by makers such as Tompion. The Vulliamys started numbering most of their clocks from 1788 until 1854. Two of the original Vulliamy workbooks still survive in the library of the British Horological Institute at Upton Hall, these often can provide valuable information regarding the manufacture and provenance of many clocks made by the workshop. Unfortunately the records are incomplete hence only note clocks with serial numbers 296-469 and 746-1067. There is also a third surviving Vulliamy workbook, relating only to repairs and servicing dating to the period 1846-53. Interestingly this volume records at least sixty-five clocks being in the possession of the government 'Office of Works' and another forty being in the possession of Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace. Roger Smith in his article entitled Vulliamy Clock Numbering, A Postscript, published in Antiquarian Horology Vol. 21 No. 5 (September 1994), used surviving data in the records of the British Horological Institute at Upton Hall and known documented examples to compile a graph from which unrecorded clocks can be dated. According to this chart number 1921 would appear to date to the end of the second quarter of the 19th century.  The general design of the present timepiece follows the 'lion' form made popular by Vulliamy during the early years of the 19th century. Vulliamy's earliest models utilised lions with balls either between or under one of the front paws no doubt inspired by the ancient Roman 'Medici Lion' in Florence. Later models also incorporated eagle surmounts modelled alongside those applied to the smaller pedestal drumhead timepieces also made popular by Vulliamy. The current timepiece is unique in both its unusual large scale and the provision of fine recumbent lions modelled after those sculpted by Antonia Canova for the tomb of Pope Clement XIII at St. Peters Basilica in 1792. From this it would be appropriate to speculate that it was most likely a one-off commission no doubt for a mantelpiece of an important mansion house or palace interior. 

A VICTORIAN CARVED MAHOGANY TWIN FUSEE DIAL WALL CLOCKBENNETT, LONDON, THIRD QUARTER OF THE 19th CENTURYThe five columnar pillar twin chain fusee bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by heavy lenticular bob pendulum incorporating transverse pivoted beam rise/fall regulation to suspension, the 12.5 inch circular silvered brass Roman numeral dial with curved SLOW/FAST regulation adjustment scale over signature BENNETT, 65 Cheapside, LONDON., MAKER TO THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY to centre, with blued steel trefoil hands set behind hinged glazed cast brass bezel incorporating canted insert to inner edge, the case with dial surround carved with stylised palm leaves issuing from a shield cartouche to envelop the bezel, applied to the drum-shaped rear incorporating curved door to right hand side and pendulum access flap to base, the back panel with rectangular brass grille sound fret.42cm (16.5ins) wide, 40.5cm (16ins) high, 17.5cm (6.5ins) deep. John Bennett was first educated to become a pastor but after the death of his father he joined the clock and watchmaking business established in Greenwich by his grandfather. He subsequently established himself at 65 Cheapside, London in 1846 and became particularly interested in the 'modernisation' of the English watchmaking industry which brought him into conflict with many of his peers. John Bennett was a colourful character who subsequently became involved in machinations of the City of London Corporation serving as 'Sheriff of London and Middlesex' in 1871. He was knighted and served as 'Lord Lieutenant of London' the following year. Sir John Bennett died in 1897 leaving the business in the hands of his successors trading as 'Sir John Bennett Limited', which continued well into the 20th century.

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. Condition Report: IVORY LICENCE ZZB8KYDZCondition Report Disclaimer

Condition Report: As mentioned in the catalogue description the balance and escapewheel arbors both have damaged pivots otherwise all components appear to be present with no other visible damage however as we are unable to test the operation of the movement we cannot verify that detent etc are serviceable. The fusee chain is also currently detached from the fusee cone hence we cannot vouch for the condition of the mainspring. Mechanism otherwise appears to be in original albeit somewhat neglected condition. The dial has rubbing and discolouration to the silvering however the definition of the engraving is good and the hands are undamaged. The bowl is in sound original condition but with overall oxidation to the surface and a few bumps and scuffs commensurate with age and use; the glass is presently loose within the bezel. The box is original and is generally in sound condition. The back of the upper tier has a glued horizontal break across the centre and the brass plate to the front is probably a replacement. The front has a couple of fairly deep scratches and there is another to the right-hand side; the base panel is also a little loose. Otherwise faults are limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age, as catalogued there is no top tire present with the box.There is no winder of case key present.IVORY LICENSE - 4VNR92E6Condition Report Disclaimer
