A RARE ‘KEEN’S PATENT’ MARINE COMPASS BY JOSEPH HUGHES, LONDON, CIRCA 1860, the 8in. diameter painted mica card signed J. HUGHES / QUEEN St. RATCLIFF, LONDO[N], supported on sprung inverted cap with miniature counter-weighted gimballed pivot and hinged double-bar dip-needles set within card, the lacquered-brass assembly secured to glazed base within decorative blued and gilt porcelain compass bowl with internal transfer print Royal Arms at ‘south’ inscribed over KEEN’S PATENT. vertices at ‘north’, lacquered-brass gimbal arms and removable domed glass top -- 6¾ x 10¼in. (17 x 26cm.) John Robert Keen (w.1834-1857) registered patent 1670 on July 29th 1854 stating My invention is intended to counteract the effect of the pitching and rolling of vessels, and the vibratory action in steam vessels.. By using a combination of metal and rubber springs, and having twin stabilising dip needles to show north, and containing the whole in a thick porcelain bowl, it was hoped the card could be protected from the worst excesses of steam propulsion in ships now increasingly made of metal. The glazed base and use of painted mica for the card allows this example to be back lit. It seems to have been a modest success, but was soon superseded and made obsolete. This rare survivor is the only one found in the patent specified “non metallic” bowl, a similar example in the Greenwich collection (ACO 0026) is in a traditional brass bowl. Keen went on to form an important partnership with Charles Frodsham. Joseph Hughes worked from Ratcliff Cross between 1843 and 1875.
