Item Details

Description

A rare early 19th century brass-mounted ebonised balloon shaped table clock of small size
Tregent, London. The frontplate further stamped 'BEST 459'
The case surmounted by an urn finial over side handles and waisted lower section applied with a sun-burst mount, on an arched base and brass bracket feet, the 4.75inch signed white enamel dial with Roman and Arabic numerals and matching blued steel hands, the twin gut fusee movement with balloon shaped plates united by five kopped pillars, with rack striking and trip repeat on a bell, the going train with deadbeat escapement, the backplate decorated with engraved symmetrical foliate scrolls 42cms (16.5ins) high.
Footnotes:
James Tregent, a French Huguenot watchmaker who settled in London, is listed as working between 1781 and 1808. His official title was 'Watchmaker to the Prince of Wales', although on his trading cards this was broadened to 'Watch and Clockmaker to the Prince of Wales'.

He and his brother, Anthony, came to England together. Anthony was an enameller and part of the famous 'Battersea Enamellers' based on the south banks of Thames. He went on to establish his own shop on Denmark Street in London, and has been recorded as making dials for clocks and watches, no doubt due in part to his brother's career.

See Ponsford, C. (2007) 'The Jourdain Family of Spitalfields, London: Specialists in Chime and Musical Work', Antiquarian Horology, Volume 30(3), pgs. 387-388

The inside of the front plate is punched 'BEST 459'. It is reasonable to suggest that this might be Robert Best, who was listed as working in London between 1783-1828. A strikingly similar balloon shaped table clock by Robert Best was offered for sale by Martin Hutton Antiques in Antiquarian Horology, June 1964, p.29.
