The 8 day duration 5 pillar movement striking the hours on a bell and sounding the Alarm on the same bell at will. The arched brass dial with separate silvered brass chapter ring, matted centre, subsidiary seconds ring, date aperture, Alarm Disc, brass ornate applied spandrels and strike/silent facility to the arch. The well proportioned and unusually small mahogany case with a long trunk door and a raised panelled base with double plinth. The hood with reeded angle pillars terminating with brass Doric capitals. The pagoda top with a blind sound fret and surmounted by three brass finials. Note: There are several makers by this name listed as working in London during the 18th century. Alarm mechanisms on English longcase clocks are quite rare. Due to its small size we believe this may have been originally intended for use in a Bedroom.http://www.british-antiqueclocks.com/stock/edward-taylor-london/http://www.british-antiqueclocks.com/stock/butti-taunton/An excellent 10" mahogany wheel barometer with rare shield shaped cabinet work. The 10" silvered brass dial calibrated from 28" to 31" with the usual weather indicators and featuring a well engraved starburst to the centre, blued steel indicator hand and a brass set hand. The dial with convex glazed brass bezel. The silvered brass thermometer scale calibrated from 30º to 110º Fahrenheit and mounted in a removable box. Also with hygrometer and level. The unusually shaped well figured mahogany case with a shield shape above the main dial. The swan neck top with a central brass finial and ivory paterae. Note: Wheel barometers of this unusual shape are exceedingly rare. We have only ever seen this before on wheel barometers with 8" dials. Joseph Butti is recorded as working in the 1830’s and is listed as a Hardware Storekeeper. In the 1841 Census he is listed as a Jeweller in Harmony Rowe, Married and aged 38.http://www.british-antiqueclocks.com/stock/butti-taunton/http://www.british-antiqueclocks.com/stock/richard-pinnell-malmsbury/An interesting oak longcase clock from the County of Wiltshire but with a Maritime connection. The 8 day duration movement striking the hours on a bell. The painted arch dial showing Roman numerals, Arabic minutes, seconds and date. The corners with delicately painted roses and foliage and the arch with a scene depicting the memory of Admiral Lord Nelson. Britannia stands next to Nelsons tomb and alongside her lay a cannon and a mast and sail. Also with matching blued steel hands. The slender oak case with a long trunk door with flowers to the inlaid oval. The base standing on bracket feet and also inlaid with an oval design to the centre. The hood with plain oak pillars topped with Corinthian capitals and Doric capitals to the base. The swan neck top with unusual grooved vertical lines, a central brass spire finial and brass paterea. Note: Horatio Nelson died on 21st October 1805 at the Battle of Trafalgar on the now famous ship HMS Victory. After a long and active career in the Royal Navy he died a National hero and was given a State Funeral. At this period there were all sorts of objects made to celebrate his life. Some of them not so well made and also made in huge quantities. To find a depiction of Nelson on a longcase clock is quite rare. Richard Pinnell was baptised in Malmesbury Abbey on 20th July 1779 and died only 39 years later in 1818. This clock will be sold with a model of HMS Victory and also a copy of a Trafalgar Poster issued in 1805.http://www.british-antiqueclocks.com/stock/richard-pinnell-malmsbury/http://www.british-antiqueclocks.com/stock/jump-london-2/An excellent London mantel clock by these famous makers. The 8 day duration movement with a single fusee, anchor escapement and substantial brass plates. The backplate signed Jump, London. The unusually shaped and high quality pendulum typical of the standard of work that was being produced by the Jump workshops. The 4½" round painted dial with Roman chapters and matching blued steel hands. The very desirable Maple veneered case of Balloon shape with tulipwood edge inlay, oval inlay below the dial and standing on four brass ogee feet. Note: Joseph Jump was apprenticed to the famous maker Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy in 1827. During the 1850’s when Vulliamy died, Joseph and his brother Alfred continued the business. He later joined forces with Henry Jump and they continued together until 1899 when Henry died. During their time together they worked at 55 Pall Mall and 11 Old Bond Street. In the early 20th century the Jump Clockmakers were Clockmakers to the King.http://www.british-antiqueclocks.com/stock/jump-london-2/http://www.british-antiqueclocks.com/stock/charles-cabrier-london/A unique and spectacular early 18th century Month duration walnut longcase clock by this famous maker. This clock is currently entered into the Country Life LAPADA Object of the Year. The substantial Month duration 5 pillar movement with the rare use of a Dutch striking mechanism. Striking the main hours on a large bell and the forthcoming hour on a smaller bell at half past. The high quality movement with a delicately made recoil anchor escapement, well turned pillars and large brass plates. The full brass dial with an unusual dial layout featuring Atlas/Father Time sitting on a large silvered brass cartouche engraved with the makers name and place of work. The dial also with a separate silvered brass chapter ring, well matted centre, seconds, date, finely cut blued steel hands and four brass Putti, two on clouds holding torches and the others sitting on eagles. The extremely elegant and impressive Anglo/French burr walnut veneered case with the rare use of a bevelled mirror to the trunk door, brass mouldings throughout and a plain base with a double plinth terminating in flat bun feet. The hood with barley twist pillars mounted with large brass Doric capitals and an impressive caddy top with elaborate mirror backed walnut frets to the front and sides and finished with an architectural pediment. The hood also surmounted with solid walnut finials standing on brass supports. Note: Charles Cabrier II is listed as a famous maker and was apprenticed to his Father (also Charles Cabrier) in 1717. He obtained his freedom in 1726 and was Master of the Clockmakers Company in 1757. The Cabrier’s were well known Huguenot Clockmakers who settled in London in the late 17th century when they were driven from France as a result of Religious persecution. The Cabrier’s were particularly fine Watchmakers and many examples of their work can be seen in Museums around the world including London and Oxford. Provenance: This clock was until recently, standing in a Chateau in the South West corner of France, approximately 50 miles north of Bordeaux. Chateau Cantenac Brown was and still is a famous Vineyard. This explains the French influence displayed in the case features and also the French connection with Charles Cabrier. However we believe this clock in its entirety was made in London for a special European client.http://www.british-antiqueclocks.com/stock/charles-cabrier-london/
