A Superb and very rare Engraved Thomas Cole Mantle Clock
Located in London, GB
An exceptional and perhaps unique English fusee mantle clock timepiece by one of the nineteenth centuries greatest clock makers. Although not signed by Thomas Cole, this mantle or table clock can be safely attributed to Thomas Cole. The multi layed case, which is typical of Cole, the horizontal lines in the background of the engraving, and the quality of the engraving, means this clock could only be by Cole. The eight day single chain fusee movement. The engraving for the retailer has been fitted into the available space, and would have been done after the clock has been completed by Thomas Cole (J.B. Hawkins).
The inset silvered dial is of typical Cole design with finely engraved rococo and floral decoration, black Roman numerals and fleur de lyes hands. This style of dial is noted on many examples of

Leila and the Giaour Gilded Bronze Clock, France, Circa 1830
Located in PARIS, FR
Dial signed Polti Frères
Measures: With base or glass: Height 61 cm (24 in.), width 51,5 cm (20.3 in.), depth 23.5 cm (9,2 in.)
Without base: Height 52 cm (20,5 in.), width 42 cm (16.5 in.), depth 12.5 cm (4.9 in.)
Important philhellenic clock in burnished and amati gilded bronze, finely chiseled, representing on the terrace a couple elegantly dressed in "the turkish style", and richly decorated with foliage, scrolls and flowers. The feet, decorated with water leaves, rest on an oval wooden base covered with a globe.
The theme of the clock comes from The Giaour, a fragment of a Turkish Tale, an English poem by Lord Byron published in may 1813 which tells the thwarted love of a Venetian, the Giaour – term by which the Turks designate infidels and especially Christians – and of Leila, a slave belonging to Hassan’s seraglio, military leader of a Turkish province. The betrayal of Leila discovered, she will be thrown into the sea and her lover will avenge her by killing Hassan, then taking refuge in a monastery.
Symbol of prestige and modernity, the decorative clocks are a reflection of the taste of the era of a wealthy bourgeoisie and may be the subject of diplomatic gifts or between individuals.
Beyond the purely decorative aspect of such objects, watchmaking in the 19th century is part of a subtle mix of political, historical and literary references.
This philhellenic movement converning the West finds a particular echo in France, one of the countries with the United Kingdom and Russia having suported the Greeks during their war of independance (1821-1830) to free oneself from the grip of the Ottoman Empire. Many clocks...
