A PAIR OF REGENCY FIFTEEN-INCH LIBRARY GLOBESJ. and W. CARY, LONDON, 1820The terrestrial sphere applied with two sets of twelve hand-coloured engraved split half-gores incorporating circular cartouche inscribed CARY'S, NEW TERRESTRIAL GLOBE, Drawn from the most recent, GEOGRAPHICAL WORKS, shewing the whole of the New Discoveries, with the, TRACKS of the PRINCIPAL NAVIGATORS, and every improvement in Geography, to the present Time., LONDON: London. Published by J. & W. Cary, 181 Strand, Nov'r 24 1820., extensively annotated with fully graduated equatorial calibrated in minutes and degrees, ecliptic and meridians, the Pacific ocean with an analemma TABLE of EQUATION, many explorers' tracks and numerous notes and dates, Antarctica with no land shown but 71.10 the most South'n Latitude of Capt. Cook, Vast Islands and firm fields of ice and other notes, the continents with nation states faintly colour-outlined, showing cities, towns, rivers, mountains in pictorial relief; the celestial with rectangular panel inscribed CARY'S, NEW CELESTIAL GLOBE, ON WHICH, are carefully laid down the whole of the, STARS AND NEBULAE, contained in the Catalogues of, Wollaston, Herschel, Bode, Piazzi, Zach & c., Calculated to the Year 1820, Made & Sold by J. & W. Cary 181 Strand London 1818, the axis through the celestial poles, with fully graduated equatorial and ecliptic with twilight zone, the constellations depicted by mythical beasts and figures with dotted boundaries, the stars shown to eight orders of magnitude with clusters and nebulæ and labelled; both spheres with engraved brass hour dials to the poles and pivoted within brass meridian circles divided for degrees, the hand-coloured engraved paper horizon rings with compass points and degrees in both directions, pictorial representations of the Zodiac, calendar scales and wind directions; each supported on a mahogany tripod stand incorporating four quadrants supporting meridian ring over baluster upright and downcurved supports terminating with tapered feet fitted with brass castors, (both unrestored with some historic damage).100.5cm (39.5ins) high, 52.5cm (20.75ins) diameter. The celebrated Cary family business of scientific instrument and globe makers was established by John Cary at Johnson's Court, Fleet Street, London in 1782 moving to a new address at 'Corner of Arundel Square', Strand the following year. He was primarily an engraver of maps, charts and globes who moved again in 1783 to 188 Strand. By 1791 he had entered into what appeared to be a relatively casual partnership with his brother, William; this partnership lasted until circa 1816 by which time William and John Cary had moved again to 181 Strand before finally settling in 86 St. James in 1820. The following year he was succeeded by his sons, John (II) and George Cary, who continued from the firm's 181 Strand address until 1851/2 when the business was acquired by Henry Gould.Condition Report: Terrestrial - The sphere is in original unrestored condition with good mellow yellowed finish to the varnish and printing clear. The Atlantic has a bump/bruise approximately 3 inches across which includes a couple of very small losses to the plaster and has three or four cracks radiusing out to around six inches form the centre of the bruise. There is also a concentric scuff towards the South pole. Sphere otherwise is in good condition with damage limited to slight movement/cracking at the top pivot and varnish rubbing/wear. Areas of old vanish rubbing/wear have taken on dark finish hence they exhibit as dark spots/patches, more recent varnish rubbing is noticeable around the equator. The brass ring and hour circles are present and undamaged but have oxidised to a dark chocolate brown colour. The stand is intact with no breaks or losses; a section of the horizon ring is a little loose with an angled crack through Sagittarius and the papers are fairly heavily worn between Aquarius and Gemini. The mahogany base is a little faded/dry in colour.Celestial - In similar condition to the terrestrial with a smaller bump (approx. 3 by 2 inches) to the left of Orion; this bump appears to be very localised with no noticeable more extensive cracking evident. Faults otherwise generally limited to historic varnish rubbing and grime including drip of paint (or something similar) to the upper hemisphere which most likely could be cleaned-off. The stand is in sound condition with overall patchy discolouration and dirt staining to the horizon papers; the ring itself is a loose on its joints but undamaged.Please see/request further images which form part of the condition report.Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE PAIR OF GEORGE III TWELVE-INCH LIBRARY TABLE GLOBES WILLIAM BARDIN AND GABRIEL WRIGHT AFTER JAMES FERGUSON, LONDON, CIRCA 1782 The terrestrial sphere applied with twelve hand coloured printed gores incorporating rococo cartouche panel inscribed FERGUSON'S, TERRESTRIAL GLOBE, Improv'd by, G. WRIGHT, Wherein the new Discoveries, of the late Capt: Cook & other, eminent Navigators are, correctly laid down to, the Present Time, over text Made & Sold by W'm Bardin, N. 16 Salisbury Square, Fleet Street to North Pacific and the southern polar dial further inscribed Published according to the Act of Parliament by W. Bardin, extensively annotated with principal cities, towns, rivers, lakes, mountains and other significant topographical features, the oceans with islands, two wind roses, arrows for trade winds, and the tracks of Cook and Furneaux with innumerable notes, Antarctica with no land shown but notes such as Many Islands & Fields of Ice and a tentative Gerard's Land, Africa finely detailed with notes as to various tribes such as Jagas Anthorpophogai and HOTTENTOTS, China showing the Great Wall, North America with no northern coastline and much of the north-west without detail, with various notes such as North West Continent of America discovered by Capt. Cook, in 1780 in Alaska, and Middleton's Discoveries 1742 in Canada, Greenland with a note Here the Hills are said to be covered with Snow & the Weather temperate, the West Pacific with an analemma of the equation of time, and both the equator and ecliptic lines graduated in degrees; the celestial annotated with major constellations incorporating fanciful figural representations and stars graded in seven orders of magnitude, the equator and ecliptic both divided for degrees and the lower hemisphere with panel inscribed WRIGHT'S, New & Improv'd, CELESTIAL GLOBE, On which the Stars, are correctly laid down, from the Observations of, D. HALLEY, D. BRADLEY, & c., Made & Sold by W. Bardin, No 16, Salisbury Sqr Fleet Street, LONDON, with a note around the southern ecliptic pole Publish'd according to Act of Parliament by G. Wright & W. Bardin Jan.1.t.1782.; each sphere with poles incorporating printed hour rings and pivots for mounting within brass meridian circles divided for degrees, resting in wooden stands with matching hand coloured paper horizon rings each graduated in degrees 0-90 in two directions from both the East and West points of the compass within days-of-the-month and houses of the Zodiac with names and symbols, the stands each with four curved quadrant supports for the horizon ring over squat spiral-turned baluster upright issuing three cabriole supports.The globes and stands 62cm (24.75ins) high, 43cm (17ins) wide overall. The drawing of the present pair of globes have their origins with James Ferguson (1710-1776) who took-on the globe making business of Mary Sennex in 1755. Mary, in turn, had inherited the business from her late husband, the celebrated early English globe maker - John Sennex, on his death in 1740. James Ferguson died in 1776 and was succeeded by Benjamin Martin (worked 1738-1782) to whom Gabriel Wright was apprenticed. Wright stayed and worked for his master for eighteen years (presumably making globes) until around 1780, when he entered into an arrangement to work with the celebrated family firm of William Bardin and Son. Wright continued with, and outlived, William Bardin who died in 1798; Gabriel Wright subsequently died in 1803 leaving the business in the hands of William's son, Thomas Bardin and his sucessors.The cartouche from an earlier Ferguson globe is illustrated in Dekker, Elly and Van Der Krogt, Peter GLOBES FROM THE WESTERN WORLD where it is stated that the cartouche provides 'a neat summary of a piece of London globe history in a nutshell'. Indeed the tradition of globemaking that had been threaded down successive generations of makers from Senex to Bardin was something that Gabriel Wright was keen to trade on, hence why he labelled his updated globe of 1782 'Ferguson's terrestrial globe'.Condition Report: Terrestrial - The sphere has been restored with work undertaken to the central part of South America (probably to repair a bump/bruise) and filled/over painted cracks through the Caribbean and up into the East Coast of the USA. In addition there are a few slight repairs to the East Atlantic. The sphere has been cleaned hence is light in colour and has overall slight greying/foxing; the joints between the gores have lifted a little and have some varnish evident mostly near the equator as from the sphere rubbing against the horizon ring (as the globe can move/wobble within the ring). The Horizon ring is generally in good condition and of similar finish/colour to the globe; there is some localised restoration (overpainting) evident most notably to Taurus and the edge near July. The stand is in fine condition and of very nice colour and patination.Celestial - Is generally in better condition than the terrestrial with faults generally limited to rubbing and a couple of light cracks to the equator. The sphere has been cleaned but there is no obvious visible evidence of overpainting/restoration. The Horizon ring in comparable condition to the sphere and the stand is in fine condition and of nice colour.Please see/request further images which form part of the condition report. Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE VICTORIAN MAHOGANY CASED ELECTROMAGNETIC WIND DIRECTION INDICATORALFRED APPS, LONDON, CIRCA 1880The lacquered brass and mahogany mechanism comprising a pair of opposing electromagnetic coil solenoids with pivoted arms acting on ratchets fitted to the same arbor mounted above, shunting it in either a clockwise or anticlockwise direction against a sprung sixteen-toothed wheel to check the increment of each rotation, the 8 inch circular silvered dial inscribed GORDONS, PATENT, APPS, OPTICIAN, 433 STRAND, LONDON within outer track annotated with the sixteen cardinal points of the compass with arrow markers to inner track, with single arrow hand within canted silver surround set behind a fixed glazed cast bezel secured vial screws to the outer flange, the rectangular case with hipped roof superstructure and cushion top moulding over visible screws flanking the dial to front, the left hand side with three brass electrical connection posts and the right with bone plunger for manual adjustment of the dial, the rear with upwards sliding panel, on generous cavetto moulded skirt base.44.5cm (17.5ins) high, 37cm (14.5ins) wide, 28.5cm (11.25ins) deep. Alfred Apps is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as an optician, mathematical and philosophical instrument maker working from '433 West Strand, Near Charing Cross Railway Station, London' 1864 until after 1900. The Science Museum website lists him as working also as an electrical instrument maker who worked until 1911 when the business was succeeded/absorbed by Newton and Company.The present instrument appears to have been designed to work in conjunction with a weathervane fitted with a conforming mechanism designed to transmit electrical pulses as it is rotated by a change in direction of the wind. The three electrical connections would be for a common pole and then for pulses sent to either one of the solenoids for moving the arbor in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction in an increment equal to a one-sixteenth rotation. From the quality of the construction and finish it is highly likely that the instrument was intended for installation into a wealthy environment, whether it be the boardroom of a maritime transport firm or the hallway of substantial country house. Despite the best efforts of the cataloguer we have been unable to find any further information relating to 'Gordons Patent' design of wind direction apparatus. 

Y A LATE VICTORIAN GILT BRASS ANEROID POCKET BAROMETER WITH THERMOMETER AND COMPASSDOLLOND, LONDON, LATE 19th CENTURY1.75 inch circular silvered register calibrated in barometric inches divided into twentieths with the usual observations, inscribed COMPENSATED, FOR, TEMPERATURE and signed DOLLOND, LONDON over serial number No 53123 to centre, within outer revolving altimeter scale annotated for 0 to 12,000 feet divided into one hundred foot increments, the bevel-glazed cylindrical satin-gilt case with knurled band for the rotating altimeter scale to circumference opposing central mother-of-pearl 'floating card' glazed compass within curved-tube FAH'T scale mercury thermometer, the top with turned post fitted with a suspension ring, in original green silk lined brown Morocco case opening both sides.The instrument 5cm (2ins) diameter, 2.5cm (1in) thick. Peter Dollond is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1680-1860 as born 1730 and died 1820. He was the son of John Dollond, a Huguenot silk weaver and started business as an optician in 1750. He was joined by his father in 1752 until his death in 1761, and then by his brother, John, until his death in 1804. The family business was continued by Peter Dollond's nephew, George Huggins, who changed his surname to Dollond. George Dollond became instrument maker to William IV and Queen Victoria, exhibited at the Great Exhibition in 1851 and died 1856. The firm became one of the largest makers and suppliers of scientific and optical instruments and continued trading under various guises throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.Condition Report: Barometer mechanism responds to pressure (has been 'bag tested') and appears to be providing and appropriate reading. The silvered scale has some slight tarnishing to the outer altimeter scale; the centre has very little discolouration and only a couple of spots. The thermometer and compass are in good working order with only slight mellowing to the silvered thermometer scale. The case retains its original gilding with minimal wear however there is patchy discolouration/tarnishing mainly to the collar around the thermometer. The leather outer case has lost the 'buttons' for both clasps. One lid has been re-glued at the hinge (is now very slightly out of alignment). Otherwise faults are limited to slight bumps, scuffs and edge wear. Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE PAIR OF GEORGE III FIFTEEN-INCH LIBRARY TABLE GLOBESSOLD BY WATKINS AND SMITH, THE TERRESTRIAL DRAWN BY LEONARD CUSHEE, LONDON, CIRCA 1760The terrestrial sphere applied with two sets of twelve hand-coloured engraved split half-gores incorporating rococo cartouche inscribed A NEW, TERRESTRIAL, GLOBE, DRAWN, From the Best Authorities, over further panel applied with banner Sold by Watkins & Smith Opticians Charing, Cross LONDON to the North Pacific and extensively annotated with principal cities, towns, rivers, lakes, and other significant features, the oceans with all significant islands labelled, California is shown as a peninsula, north-west Canada labelled PARTS UNKNOWN, Australia and New Guinea shown as a single landmass and New Zealand labelled NEW ZEELAND with only a limited section of the west coast shown, the Pacific labelled the GREAT SOUTH SEA and with overlaid analemma of the equation of time, the Equator land Ecliptic lines graduated in minutes and the Meridian similarly divided; the celestial annotated with major constellations incorporating fanciful figural representations and stars graded in seven orders of magnitude, the Equator and Ecliptic both divided for minutes, with panel inscribed A NEW, CELESTIAL, GLOBE near the Equator and the upper hemisphere with panel inscribed NB The Stars on this Globe, are carefully laid down, from y'e accurate Observatio'ns, of Mr. Flamstead & Dr. Halley, each sphere with poles incorporating brass hour rings and pivots for mounting within brass meridian circles divided for degrees, resting in wooden stands with matching hand coloured paper horizon rings each graduated in degrees 0-90 in two directions from both the East and West points of the compass within days-of-the-month and houses of the Zodiac with names and symbols, the stands each with four curved quadrant supports for the horizon ring over squat ring-turned upright issuing three cabriole supports with pointed pad feet, (both spheres with historic damage and repair).The globes and stands 66cm (26ins) high, 51cm (20ins) diameter. The partnership between Francis Watkins and William Hill is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as working from Charing Cross, London, 1763-74. A 15-inch terrestrial globe by Leonard Cushee apparently identical to the present lot except for having his name within the lower part of the title cartouche (and now in a later stand) was sold at Bonhams, London The Connoisseur's Library Sale 15thnd February 2022 (lot 102) for £14,000. From this the terrestrial globe in the present lot can be attributed to Leonard Cushee no doubt supplied to Watkins and Smith for retail. Leonard Cushee appears to have predominantly supplied 2.5 inch pocket globes as examples in this size do appear at auction from time to time, however his full-sized table globes appear to be very rare. Leonard Compere Cushee is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as a 'globe engraver' working 'Opposite the Temple Gate, Fleet St.' London in 1761. He was apprenticed to the distinguished globe maker Nathaniel Hill who had a workshop at 'The Globe and Sun, Chancery Lane' and it is possible that he was either the brother or cousin of an E. Cushee who succeeded Hill at that address.The Celestial globe is probably an updated version of one drawn in the Cushee/Hill workshops at Chancery Lane, perhaps even by Nathaniel Hill's master, Richard Cushee (1694-1731), who is known to have produced both terrestrial and celestial globes in this size. Condition Report: Terrestrial - The sphere has had historic repairs to address heavy cracking/bruising around the equator. This includes noticeable filling above Australia and to the 'Great South Sea'. There is lesser filling and general unevenness to the surface where these repairs have been undertaken. The South pivot also has some cracking/filling and overpainting and the 'Eastern Ocean' has a pound coin-sized filled repair. Faults otherwise are limited to relatively minor bumps, scuffs and varnish wear; the colour is a nice light/golden brown hue and the printing nice and strong. The horizon papers are in good original condition however the angled joints in the frame are visible (in the form of angled lines). The stand is in sound original condition. Two of the quadrant supports have historic glued cracks near the base where they join the turned upright; as a the upper surface is fitted with an iron cruciform brace (as is the other stand) there are no structural issues. The stand has overall surface wear/rubbing hence would benefit from a good polish.Celestial - The sphere has had historic repairs including an area of filling/overpainting around 4 inches across near the top pivot (just behind Perseus); there is another much smaller filled section just above Hercules. The Horizon also has some historic cracking/movement which has been repaired - these cracks extend around one third of the circumference. The top pivot area has some filling/repair and the base pivot shows some slight cracking movement. Damage to the sphere is otherwise limited slight surface rubbing and other minor age-related blemishes. The horizon ring has cracking and some localised filling to the papers due to movement in the frame beneath. The stand is generally in sound condition although one of the legs has become a loose at some pint causing a small chip/loss to the shoulder and another to the lower edge; a section of the turning behind the joint has also been re-glued. As with the terrestrial the stand would benefit from a good polish. The turnings to the posts of the stands are made in two sections and have a central rod to allow the spheres to revolve; there is some slight variation in design between the two globes at this point.Generally an interesting and particularly rare pair of globes in honest 'country house' condition including historic repairs. Although they would probably benefit from further work to improve the appearance of some of these repairs they are probably best left as is.Please see/request further images which form part of the condition report.Condition Report Disclaimer

AN ENGLISH 5.5 INCH CELESTIAL NAVIGATIONAL 'STAR' GLOBE CARY AND COMPANY, LONDON, EARLY 20th CENTURYThe sphere applied with twelve gores printed with stars and principal constellations labelled, the solstitial colure divided for the annual calendar, the equinoctial graduated in degrees, the northern hemisphere with key for star MAGNITUDES above panel inscribed CARY & Co., Makers to the Admiralty, 22 CHARING CROSS, LONDON LTD., pivoted between the poles within a lacquered brass meridian circle divided for degrees and resting via similarly divided horizon ring, annotated with sixteen compass cardinal points and inscribed CARY LONDON PAT'N No. 21540, with four-arm domed restraint with each sector again divided for, the mahogany box with TO ADJUST THE INSTRUMENT... instruction label pasted to inside of lid, the exterior with vacant inset shaped brass nameplate to lid and conforming key escutcheon to front.The box 21.5cm (8.5ins) high, 20,5cm (8.125ins) square. The celebrated Cary family business of scientific instrument and globe makers was established by John Cary at Johnson's Court, Fleet Street, London in 1782 moving to a new address at 'Corner of Arundel Square', Strand the following year. He was primarily an engraver of maps, charts and globes who moved again in 1783 to 188 Strand. By 1791 he had entered into what appeared to be a relatively casual partnership with his brother, William (who was born circa 1759 and apprenticed to Jesse Ramsden); this partnership lasted until circa 1816 by which time William and John Cary had moved again to 181 Strand before finally settling in 86 St. James in 1820. The following year John Cary was succeeded by his sons, John (II) and George Cary, who continued from the firm's 181 Strand address until 1851/2 when the business was acquired by Henry Gould. Latterly the firm passed to Henry Porter who continued to until his death in 1902; his sons succeeded him however by the mid 1920's business had subsided to the point that they were barely trading. The firm is reported to have been finally wound-up by 1931. Such globes were supplied/issued to mariners to assist with night-time navigation by providing a reference for the relative position of the celestial bodies. Condition Report: Sphere is in fine original condition with faults limited to slight varnish wear/scratching. The brass elements retain their original lacquered finish and the paper label to the inside of the lid is in good original condition albeit a little browned. The box is also in good original condition with faults limited to a few minor bumps and scuffs commensurate with age; the finish however is sun faded. Box has a key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH SILVER BUTTERFIELD PATTERN PORTABLE SUNDIALPIERRE LE MAIRE, PARIS, LATE 17th CENTURYThe elongated octagonal plate with four hour scales for 52, 49, 46 and 43 degrees annotated 4-12-8, IIII-XI-I-VIII, 4-12-7 and V-XI-I-VII divided into quarter-hours, the centre with foliate engraved panel within band signed P. Le Maire, A Paris, a la Pierre d' aiman, with glazed compass divided for sixteen points opposing hinged bird engraved adjustable gnomon calibrated in degrees for elevation to the outer edge, the underside engraved with latitudes for twenty-six cities including Rome 41.54, Rennes 48, Madrit 40.26, Londres 51.31, Naples 41.5 and Paris 48.5. The plate 7cm (2.75ins) long, 6cm (2.375ins) wide. Pierre Le Maire is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as becoming a Maitre of the clockmakers' guild in 1675. He worked from St. Germain, Paris alongside his son Jean, however as a Protestant he was imprisoned in 1687 and his workshop/stock sold-on. Soon afterwards it is believed that he moved to Amsterdam.This type of portable pocket sundial was devised by Michael Butterfield an English instrument maker who settled in Paris in around 1685. By the end of the century Butterfield's workshop was located on 'Le Quay de L'Horloge' which would have positioned him right within the Parisian clockmaking community. 

A FRENCH GILT, PATINATED AND SILVERED BRASS NOVELTY 'QUARTERDECK' MANTEL CLOCKGUILMET, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURYThe eight-day gong striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by compound pendulum with upper crossed spring suspension for the figural bob and stamped GLT, BREVETTE, S.G.D.G. trademark over serial number 1653 to backplate, the circular gilt Roman numeral dial with steel spade hands and canted bezel set into the cabin elevation of the case modelled as the stern of a ship with upper poop deck applied with binnacle compass before a figure cast as a sailor at the helm rocking from side-to-side with the motion of the pendulum, with curved balustrading behind terminating with lantern posts to sides over lower deck accessed via a ladder to the left and with another figure of a mariner gathering rope from a coil to the right, on moulded gilt base applied onto black marble plinth with gilt block feet.30cm (11.5ins) high, 29cm (11.5ins) wide, 22cm (8.75ins) deep. Andre Romain Guilmet was born on the 10th of December 1827 in La Ferte-Gaucher, France. He was a credited as a watchmaker and inventor who specialised in producing novelty and mystery clocks for which he applied for a number of patents for designs. Amongst his other Patents was that for a bicycle where the driving chain was set below the seat. He is best known for his 'mysterieuse' figural clock with glass pendulum, this takes the form of a woman holding pendulum in her outstretched hand and arm over a marble base containing the clock below. The pendulum is impulsed by the mechanism underneath her that moves the figure imperceptibly from side to side.  Guilmet's industrial series of clocks, which includes the current lot, features automated clocks in the form of windmills, lighthouses, automobiles, boats, steam hammers, boilers, etc. A Guilmet 'quarterdeck' clock is illustrated in Roberts, Derek Mystery Novelty and Fantasy Clocks on page 225 (figs. 22-2 a-d); and another (number 1313) was sold in these rooms on 15th September 2015 (lot 43) for £6,500 hammer.
