Brass Striking Lantern Clock with Alarm, Seventeenth Century
Retaining Original Balance Wheel Escapement
Made by William Dent
London
Circa 1675 to 1685

This type of movement was made for only a very short period after Christian Huygens (1629-1695) invented the pendulum clock circa 1656-1657 and the late 1680's when the long pendulum and anchor escapement were introduced-quickly replacing the short pendulum movement with the verge/anchor escapement. Most all lantern clocks were upgraded-improved shortly thereafter. Timepieces with original movements dating to the above mentioned period are exceedingly rare. Huygens is given credit as the first to introduce and put into practice the pendulum. This outstanding rarity is surmounted by a large bell and features beautiful pierced and engraved frets; the fret with engraved crossed dolphins is above engraved brass plate. Centering the engraved, enameled and silvered chapter ring is the dial center ornamented with engraved scrolled tulip and foliate design beneath maker's signatory engraving; also, engraved alarm-setting disk. This mechanically fine timepiece stands at 16". Rarely do these timepieces retain original short pendulum and escapement such as this example; all else original except side doors which are typically replaced.
William Dent, a great clockmaker was made Free Brother in CC, September 1674; He took apprentices, several that became among the most noted clockmakers of their time; Dent disappears after 1704, when he last paid quarterage. (H: 16"; W: 6.5"; D: 8.25")

Banjo Clock, Willard
Aaron Willard Jr.
Boston, Massachusetts
Circa 1825
A rare alarm patent time piece with gilt rope frames
One of a "handful" extant examples - SOLD

This attractive banjo clock features a rare alarm movement with outside bell mounted at the crest. The frames each contain magnificent original painted glass tablets in exceptional condition. The throat glass is exceptional with outstanding and important foliate and scroll motif with fanciful flourishes above a basket of fruit and the word "patent: within a scroll festooned with Rocco style decoration...the red, gold, blue and sepia decoration is all the more forceful against the mustard ground. The lower glass is decorated with the deity Aurora driving a team of winged horses, within a gilt border against the conforming mustard ground. Note the definition of Aurora's face and the incredible detail of the chariot as related to color and fancy ornamentation. The chariot is positioned before a powerful explosion of light rays and roiling clouds as it floats on ethereal clouds that ground the composition.

The movement is signed with a die stamp at the upper right on the front plate "A. Willard Jr / Boston". Very few movements are signed. The case retains a dry surface with fine old patina. Height Overall 32 1/8"

The original brass movement has been serviced and is in good running order. The alarm mechanism has been expertly restored. The alarm hand and weight are replaced with exact copies from original examples. The bell is period but not original to this clock. The original dial has restoration to the infield.
