INTRODUCTION
Having been collecting and dealing in clocks for over 25 years, it is a
great pleasure to offer you this first catalogue under my new company
Howard Walwyn Fine Antique Clocks.
The select group of timepieces illustrated in these pages are amongst the
finest 17th and 18th century English clocks currently on the market.
Whether they are by famous ‘Golden Age’ clockmakers with Royal
Connections such as Joseph Knibb, William Clement, Daniel Quare and
Daniel Delander or by less well known makers, they have all been chosen
for their beauty, originality and outstanding craftsmanship.
I will be happy to provide photographs and full descriptions of any of
the clocks on offer together with more detailed biographical information
on the clockmakers.

JOSEPH KNIBB LONDINI FECIT
unrecorded Charles II period phase I olivewood table
A previously
clock, the fully latched eight-day brass dial movement with outside
count wheel hour strike on a single bell.
The exquisite back plate (shown on previous page) is profusely engraved
with tulips and signed by the maker in a foliate cartouche.
Date: circa 1675–1680
Height: 13 in (32 cm) excluding handle
Provenance: An English family since the late 19th century
* Joseph Knibb, the most famous member of the celebrated Knibb clockmaking
family was born circa 1640; he was apprenticed to his cousin Samuel in about
1655 and after serving seven years worked first in Oxford and then moved to
London in 1670 where he was made Free of the Clockmakers’ Company. He must
soon have built up a good reputation for himself as it is recorded that he supplied
a turret clock for Windsor Castle in 1677 and payments were made to him in 1682
on behalf of King Charles II.
Joseph Knibb made many longcase and table clocks for domestic use; he was a
particularly inventive maker and experimented with several different types of
striking and repeating mechanism. The vast majority of Knibb’s table clocks were
ebony veneered and a small number were in walnut. Those in olivewood cases can
be counted on one hand and hence are by far the rarest.

Plate 71 and Plate 125.

GULIELMUS CLEMENT LONDINI FECIT
fine William & Mary period eight-day longcase clock by this important
A
maker. The case is constructed primarily of oak and veneered with
walnut and panels of bird and floral marquetry against an ebony ground.
The cross-grain mouldings are in walnut. Standing on bun feet, the clock
retains its original base and there is a lenticle to the trunk door. The hood
with front opening door is flanked by ebonised barley twist columns and
there is a delicate walnut sound fret set below the cornice.
The 11 inch square brass dial is mounted with cherub and foliate spandrels,
silvered chapter ring and subsidiary seconds ring. The dial centre is
finely matted and has an aperture to view the day of the month. The dial
plate has delicate foliate engraving between the spandrels and is signed
at the bottom by the maker between VII and V. The blued steel hands
are finely pierced and faceted.
The exceptional high quality eight-day duration movement has six latched
pillars and a very unusual trip repeat work mechanism for repeating from
above or below. There is also evidence that the movement originally had
shutters to protect the movement from damp, dust or dirt. The hours are
sounded on a bell with rack and snail strike.
Date: circa 1695–1700
Height: 80 in (203 cm)
* Gulielmus (William) Clement is most probably the son of the William Clement
who made the famous King’s College, Cambridge turret clock in 1671 and who
claimed the invention of the anchor escapement. He was born circa 1643 and was
apprenticed to Thomas Chapman (the same master as his brother, Francis) in 1656–
1657. He was made a Free Brother in the Clockmakers’ Company in December 1677
as a “great clockmaker”. In 1678 he was made an Assistant within the Company
very prematurely “by unanimous consent and approbation and for good reasons
and especial esteem”. The question is: was the preferential treatment given to him
due to the fact he, William Junior, had just invented the anchor escapement? The
question is and will probably always remain unanswered. He became Master of
the Clockmakers’ Company in 1694 and is said to have died in 1709. This clock is of
very fine quality like all of his work and has a number of unusual and innovative
features, viz. the substantial trip repeat mechanism and the evidence for the fitting
of shutters to the movement when the clock was first made.

RICHARD COLSTON, LONDON
rare William and Mary period square dial burr elm longcase clock
A
with eight-day hour striking movement. The brass dial has finely
cast cherub and leaf corner spandrels, engraved decoration around the

and patinated case has wonderful burr elm figuring and a hood with a
repoussé brass fret and barley twist columns.
Date: circa 1690
Height: 79½ in (201.5 cm)
* Richard Colston is recorded as working in London between 1682 and 1709 and
there is a clock by him in the Wetherfield Collection. Small early longcases veneered
in burr elm are very rare.

JOHN EBSWORTH LONDINI FECIT
n exceptional William III period month going longcase clock in an English
A
black and gilt chinoiserie lacquer case. Standing on bun feet, the clock has
a turned wooden lenticle to the trunk door and a pull forward hood flanked by
barley twist columns with gilt capitals and bases. The elegant original decorated
caddy top is surmounted by a finial to each side. The early English chinoiserie
decoration depicts oriental figures in multi-coloured dress in a stylised oriental
setting with flowers, birds, trees and foliage.
The 11 inch square dial, which is signed by the maker on the dial plate below
VI, is mounted with cherub and foliate spandrels and a silvered chapter ring.
The dial centre is finely matted and there is a seconds ring and aperture to
view the day of the month. The elegant blued steel hands are finely pierced and
they are centred by a finely engraved Tudor Rose on the dial. The high quality
month duration movement has six turned and finned pillars and hour strike via
an outside locking plate. Commensurate with a movement of exceptional quality,
the dial feet are also fully latched. The clock is complete with a pair of period
patinated brass cased month weights and a detachable flat pendulum rod with
a brass bob and rating nut.
Date: circa 1690
Height : 84 in (213.5 cm)
* John Ebsworth was in the first rank of early makers who were working during the last
quarter of the 17th century. He was appointed Master of the Clockmakers’ Company in
1697 and he made a number of very fine longcase, bracket and lantern clocks. There are
clocks by him in various museums and public collections around the world.

EDMUND MASSEY LONDINI FECIT
fine William and Mary period miniature striking lantern clock by this
A
well-known apprentice of Joseph Knibb. The Knibb-style miniature
case is surmounted by a turned baluster finial centring the brass cross-strap.
The central fret is engraved with flowers and foliage. The two frets to the side
of the case are of the same pattern and left unengraved. The four columns
are cast in one piece and include the finials and bases.
The dial plate is engraved with interlacing tulips and topped by the signature
Edmund Massey Londini Fecit. There is a restored central alarm disc with
Arabic hour numerals and a central Tudor Rose.
The short duration movement has a knife edge verge escapement and
a short bob pendulum with countwheel strike on the hour. The restored
alarm work is set into the original backplate.
Date: circa 1685–90
Height: 6½ in (16.5 cm)
* Edmund Massey was born circa 1660 and apprenticed to Joseph Knibb from
December 1673 until 1681. It is therefore no accident that this beautiful miniature
lantern clock is identical in every way to those made by Joseph Knibb as it emanates
from the same workshop.
Literature: George White, ‘English Lantern Clocks’, pages 182 and 183.

JAMES MARKWICK, LONDON
fine William and Mary period quarter repeating spring table clock
A
veneered with olivewood. The flamboyant case stands on brass bun
feet with repoussé mounts to the door and a repoussé basket top supporting
the carrying handle. The basket is flanked to the four corners with unusual
four leaf finials.
The 7 in (18 cm) square dial is mounted with wing cherub spandrels and a
silvered chapter ring with strike/silent option above. There is a false pendulum
aperture, ringed winding holes and date aperture to the matted centre.
The two train fusée eight-day duration movement has quarter repeating on
three bells with the hours sounded on a separate bell. The escapement is verge
and the backplate is engraved with scrolling foliage. Both the backplate and
the chapter ring are signed Markwick, London.
Date: circa 1695
Height: 15 in (38 cm)
* James Markwick was Free of the Clockmakers’ Company in 1666 and is known to
have worked at the Royal Exchange until circa 1705. His son of the same name was
Free of the Clockmakers’ Company in 1692 and appointed Master in 1720.

15
JOHN GERRARD, LONDON
fine Queen Anne period ebony veneered table clock by this excellent
A
maker. The eight-day movement, which strikes the hours on a single
bell, has a verge escapement, short bob pendulum and pull quarter repeatwork
on three bells. There are two subsidiary dials at the top of the elaborately
engraved rectangular dial for strike/not strike and rise and fall, a design much
favoured by Thomas Tompion and Daniel Quare. The maker’s signature is
centred between the two subsidiary dials.
The dial has two winged cherub head corner spandrels and a chapter ring
with unusual flower half-hour markers. The date indicator is inset above VI
and there is a crescent shaped aperture for the false pendulum within the
finely matted dial centre.
The elaborate back plate is engraved with beautiful flower and foliate
scrolls and a well-executed wheatear border. The heart-shaped maker’s name
is set within a cartouche just below the centre and there is an elaborate
heart-shaped apron to cover the backcock.
The elegant case is constructed primarily in oak and veneered with ebony.
It has a shallow domed top with a knopped brass carrying handle. The ebony
case has a very distinctive bolection moulded front door which we had on
another clock by Charles Goode. (See Plate 40, Wetherfield Collection.)
Date: circa 1705–1715
Height: 15 in (38 cm)
* John Gerrard was active in London in the first quarter of the 18th century and
is listed on page 298 of Brian Loomes’s ‘Clockmakers of the World’. For an almost
identical clock by the same maker, see Plate 715 on page 483 of ‘Early English Clocks’
shown in the company of three Tompion table clocks.

DANIEL DELANDER, LONDON
Queen Anne period figured walnut longcase clock with
A fine
square shaped dial and caddy top by this famous apprentice of
Thomas Tompion.
The case is veneered with figured walnut of excellent colour and patination.
The pull-forward caddy top hood is flanked by turned pillars with brass capitals
and bases. The caddy top is original and is surmounted by two gilt ball finials.
The 12 inch square dial has an applied chapter ring with cherubs holding a
crown corner spandrels. The centre is finely matted with an applied seconds
ring and an aperture to view the day of the month. The blued steel pointers are
finely pierced and the maker’s signature – Daniel Delander, London – is engraved
on the chapter ring between V and VII.
The five pillar movement has rack striking with the hours sounded on a bell. As
one would expect from a maker of Delander’s stature, the movement is of the
highest quality with chamfered cocks and thick plates.
Date: circa 1710
Height: 94 in (239 cm)
* Daniel Delander was born circa 1678 and his workshop was situated in Deveraux
Court and later between the two Temple gates. He had served the latter part of his
apprenticeship under Thomas Tompion where he worked as a “servant” journeyman
alongside George Graham. Hence the fact that there are a number of similarities
between his work and that of the two greatest English clockmakers after Fromanteel.

CLAUDIUS DUCHESNE, LONDON
n exceptional Queen Anne period figured walnut longcase clock
A
of month duration with square dial and caddy top by this well
known Huguenot maker. The case is veneered with highly figured walnut
of excellent colour and patination. The pull-forward caddy top hood is
flanked by turned pillars with brass capitals. The caddy top is original and
is surmounted by two gilt flambeaux finials.
The 12 inch square dial has an applied chapter ring with cherubs
holding a crown corner spandrels. The centre is finely matted with an
applied seconds ring and an aperture to view the day of the month. The
blued steel hands are finely pierced and the maker’s signature – Claudius
Duchesne, London - is engraved on the chapter ring between V and VII.
The five finned pillar month movement has outside countwheel strike
with the hours sounded on a bell. As one would expect from a maker
of Duchesne’s stature, the movement is of the highest quality with fine
wheelwork and substantial plates and the elegant case stands comparison
with the best cases of Tompion and Quare.
Date: circa 1710–1715
Height: 89 in (226 cm)
* Claudius Duchesne moved from Paris to London circa 1690. Duchesne is
recorded in Loomes’ ‘Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World’ as being in
the Clockmakers Company from 1693 to 1730. Loomes suggests Duchesne worked
from Dean St, Soho, London and was a maker of a number of exceptional
bracket and longcases.

DANIEL QUARE, LONDON
George I period quarter repeating bracket clock by the
A beautiful
celebrated royal maker Daniel Quare.

brass carrying handle. The break arch brass dial is nicely laid out with crown
and sceptre spandrels and a larger subsidiary calendar dial in the arch. The
centre is finely matted with a false pendulum aperture.

quarter repeating mechanism sounded on six bells. The hours are struck on
a separate bell. The back plate is beautifully engraved with foliate scrolls
and there is a bold signature - Dan. Quare, London - set in an oval cartouche.
Date: circa 1715–1720
Height excluding handle: 15½ in (39 cm)
Provenance: Lord Harris
* Daniel Quare is one of the great names from the Golden Age of English
clockmaking and he was a justly worthy contemporary of Thomas Tompion,
George Graham, Daniel Delander et al.
He was born in circa 1647 and became a Brother of the Clockmakers’ Company
in 1671. He went on to serve as Master in 1708. In later years he took on
Stephen Horseman, his former apprentice, as a partner and he continued the
business after Quare’s death in 1724.
Daniel Quare’s reputation rests largely on the fact that he was a great innovator.
He and Tompion were the first to make some highly important walnut longcase
clocks of year duration showing the equation of time and other complications. One
of these is now in the Ilbert Collection in the British Museum.
Quare was an arch rival to Thomas Tompion and he was offered the Royal
Warrant. However, as a practising Quaker he would not sign any oaths of allegiance
and this prevented his appointment as Clockmaker to the King. Nevertheless he was
a regular visitor at the Royal Palace and was ‘free of the back stairs’. He had a
highly successful business and counted many members of the Nobility and Foreign
Ambassadors amongst his clientele.
