Adjustable programmer for “Pulsynetic” watches, chiming. Gent's of Leicester, England, circa second third of the 20th century. Good overall condition. The glass-fronted wooden box protects the mechanism and allows the various “wheels” and dials of the mechanism to be seen. In certain electrically-driven clocks, this box is used to coordinate all the slaves connected to the master so that the chime of bells rings simultaneously on all the components of the system. Apparently, and because of the reliability of the system, it has often been used in British schools and similar institutions. The company that created the mechanism was founded in 1872 by John Thomas Gent, and GTGent & Co. was one of the first to make electric chimes in England. After several changes, the company changed its name to Gent & Co., and was soon joined by AEJ Ball and began producing an electric clock system, later known as “Pul-syn-etic”. Weight: 15 kg.

Jug. Glass, silver-plated metal. Possibly WMF, Germany. Circa 1900. With contrasting marks (handle). Jug with a transparent glass body decorated with geometric elements, a circular base, a globular body and a high cylindrical neck, which has a silver-plated metal handle with a “C” shape on the top. It has a decoration of architectural and plant elements with a marked classicist and Renaissance character, as well as a protomos with a horse’s front legs next to the top edge of the jug’s lid. The marks, present on the outer edge of the handle, would surely link the piece to the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik or WMF. In 1853 Daniel Straub and the Schweizer brothers established a metalworks factory called Straub & Schweizer, which achieved recognition at the London Exhibition as early as 1862, and opened its first shop in Berlin in 1868. In 1880 they merged with Metallwarenfabrik Ritter & Co. to form the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF), which is still in operation today. Weight: 0.9 kg.

Coffee set. Enameled porcelain. Royal Vienna, Austria, early 20th century. With marks on the base of the pieces. Two cups broken. Enameled porcelain coffee set consisting of a tray, six cups and saucers, a sugar bowl with lid and a jug with lid. Although the classicist influence in the piece is clear (golden garlands, shapes, plant elements, colours, etc.), it is necessary to point out that the tray was inspired by the oil painting by George Sheridan Knowles in 1908 and entitled “Summer Pleasures on The River”. Royal Vienna is a certain style of porcelain related to the porcelain made in Vienna (Kaiserlich privilegierte Porcellain Fabrique) founded in 1718 by Claude du Paquier, an official of the imperial court in Vienna. It was closed in 1864, but its name was recovered by the Vienna Porcelain Factory Augarten in 1923.
