Timepiece Mahogany Mantel Clock by Barwise & Sons
A fine Regency mantel antique clock of small proportions and with an enamel dial by this most esteemed family of clockmakers.
John Barwise took his sons Weston and John Jnr. into partnership with him in around 1816. A few years later in about 1820, they were successful if obtaining the royal warrant as watchmaker to King George IV. John Barwise Snr. died in 1820, his son Weston Barwise died in 1826, leaving the firm to John Jnr.. This clock therefore dates between 1816 and 1826.
The timepiece fusee 8-day mechanism has break arch-shaped plates, the pendulum with a locking screw, stored in the movement clamp on the photo.
The case stands only 11 inches high. It has lively flame mahogany veneer to the front, edged in a fine band of ebony, the plinth top to match. The inlaid brass pattern to the front has remained well intact. The clock is raised on four brass bun feet.
The 5-inch white enamel dial is a quality finish, unusual for this age of clock - more usual was a painted finish. It is signed for Barwise & Sons, LONDON, and has matching steel hands.
Provenance:
It is understood that this clock was originally owned by the Huddleston family at Sawston Hall, a Tudor house in Cambridgshire where in 1553 the future Mary I was sheltered when she was being hunted down by the Duke of Northumberland.
On the death of his uncle in 1980, Canon Timothy Russ of Great Missenden was bequethed the contents of the hall, including this antique clock. He had hoped to sell the contents to raise the funds to fulfil his dream of buying the Hall and transforming it into a Catholic heritage centre and refuge. Sadly he died in 2013, and the Hall is even now on the market.
The clock is in excellent condition, the movement overhauled and guaranteed for 3 years. We are proud to be one of the UK’s finest suppliers of high quality Antique Clocks. We are based in Somerset, but also serve the rest of the UK. We are also delighted to have a number of overseas customers.
The workshops have recently relocated to Somerset and we continue to stock a large range of antique clocks and new clocks at very competitive prices.
We are proud to be members of LAPADA, the Association of Art and Antique Dealers.
Carlton Clocks is also a business partner of the British Horological Institute.
Ian has years of experience in restoring and maintaining clocks. He has a particular interest in early electric clocks. You will see from our Electric Clocks catalogue that we also manufacture and supply a small range of parts for Bulle, Eureka and Brillie electric clocks.
The mix of other clocks for sale is limited only by what Ian finds interesting and/or beautiful, aesthetically or mechanically.
