A WILLIAM IV EIGHT-DAY 'HOOK AND SPIKE' WALL CLOCKWHITEHURST AND SON, DERBY, CIRCA 1830The four pillar weight-driven rack striking movement with sheet copper dust covers, separately wound trains and anchor escapement for regulation by a lenticular bob pendulum with an effective length of approximately 17 inches, the backplate stamped with serial number 4648 to centre and with triangular hanging hoop over a pair of spikes, the 9 inch circular cream painted Roman numeral dial with steel spade hands and stamped WHITEHURST & SON, DERBY to the rear at twelve o'clock, (lacking pendulum).12cm (4.75ins) deep.  The present lot can be directly compared an example by John Whitehouse III of Derby described and illustrated in Darken, Jeff (editor) TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 pages 220-21.John Whitehurst (I) was born in Congleton, Cheshire in 1713, he was apprenticed as a clockmaker to his father (of the same name) before setting up business in Derby in 1736 - the same year he installed a turret clock to the newly completed Guildhall. He was an accomplished maker and scientist who had a particular interest in geology. He moved to London in 1780 in order to take up position at the Royal Mint as 'Stamper of the Money Weights' as well as pursue his scientific interests. He was founder member of the Lunar Society and was elected to the Royal Society in 1783. He died in 1788 leaving the Derby clockmaking business to his nephew also called John (II) who in-turn took his son of the same name (John III) into partnership in 1809. The firm traded as 'Whitehurst & Son' until 1834 when the business reverted to just 'Whitehurst' on the death of John (II). The business continued under the Whitehurst name until the death of John (III) in 1855 when it was sold to Roskell of Liverpool who subsequently wound-up operations in 1862. However, a former employee, John Smith, resurrected the business which is still trading today as 'Smith of Derby'. Condition Report: Movement is complete (except for the pendulum) and is in good original condition. The mechanism is somewhat dirty but the trains will run when motive power is applied. There is no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements and no problematic wear. The copper sheet dust covers are probably not original and one of the securing screws is missing. The dial retains original surface with overall noticeable wear to areas of black, the centre has a small scratch and there is a noticeable historic loss/chipping to the cream at the VIII numeral. There is also a small bump/scuff near the XI numeral, otherwise faults are limited to a couple of other small chips and wear to the circumference.Clock has two weights (probably original) but no pendulum. Condition Report Disclaimer

A WILLIAM IV EIGHT-DAY 'HOOK AND SPIKE' WALL CLOCKATTRIBUTED TO JOHN WHITEHURST OF DERBY FOR GEORGE LOWE, GLOUCESTER, CIRCA 1833-34The four pillar weight-driven rack striking movement with separately wound trains and anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum with an effective length of approximately 17 inches, the backplate stamped with serial number 4764 to centre and with triangular hanging hoop over a pair of spikes, the 12 inch square painted Roman numeral dial inscribed GEO'E LOWE, GLOUCESTER tom centre, with pierced steel hands and conch-shell painted powder-blue edged panels to spandrels.12.5cm (5ins) deep.  George Lowe is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, Volume 2 as working in Gloucester 1830-42. The movement of the present lot can be directly compared to that of a movement by John Whitehouse III of Derby described and illustrated in Darken, Jeff (editor) TIME & PLACE, English Country Clocks 1600-1840 pages 220-21.John Whitehurst (I) was born in Congleton, Cheshire in 1713, he was apprenticed as a clockmaker to his father (of the same name) before setting up business in Derby in 1736 - the same year he installed a turret clock to the newly completed Guildhall.

However, a former employee, John Smith, resurrected the business which is still trading today as 'Smith of Derby'. Condition Report: Movement is very dirty/dusty however is essentially in working order but will require and gentle clean and lubrication before it can be put to use. The pivots seem relatively tight, there is moderate pinion wear evident to the upper parts of the train. The trip repeat lever is lacking its counterweight (originally fitted onto the arbor passing through the lower left-hand corner of the backplate) and the hanging loop is a replacement. The pillars are also drilled with threaded holes (to the shafts) for dust covers which are not present with the clock. The dial is in very good original condition retaining old surface with age-related discolouration/staining. The areas of black may have been 'strengthened'; the hands are in fine original condition. The clock has chains, two weights and a pendulum (not original).  Condition Report Disclaimer

Purchased at Christie's, London sale 500 Years: Decorative Arts, Europe 23rd September 2010 (lot 144) for £3,881.25. John Whitehurst (I) was born in Congleton, Cheshire in 1713, he was apprenticed as a clockmaker to his father (of the same name) before setting up business in Derby in 1736 - the same year he installed a turret clock to the newly completed Guildhall.

However, a former employee, John Smith, resurrected the business which is still trading today as 'Smith of Derby'.  John Whitehurst (I) is known for his distinctive design of angle barometer, an example of which was sold in these rooms in the THE BANFIELD COLLECTION OF BAROMETERS 4th September 2007 (lot 125) for £8,000 hammer. His son was one of the first to make wheel barometers, with his earliest models constructed with a Classical column forming the upright above the dial (see Goodison, Nicholas ENGLISH BAROMETERS 1680-1860 page 284, Plate 193). Condition Report: Barometer is generally in good original untouched condition. There is currently no siphon tube fitted (hence is not in working order) however the pulley assembly and recording pointer mechanism are present and in working order. The dial is in fine condition with slight oxidation/mellowing to the silvering only; the glass has probably been reset as the plaster which secures it to the bezel appears relatively fresh. The thermometer is in fine original working condition. The case is essentially untouched retaining fine old surface. The only notable faults are two vertical shrinkage cracks (from movement within the carcass) to each side the lower (drop) section and a small veneer patch repair to the lower edge. Otherwise faults are very much limited to minor age-related bumps, scuffs and minor shrinkage. Condition Report Disclaimer
