He was one of the finest instrument makers of the period being particularly well known for his invention of a dividing engine and subsequent equatorial telescope stands.

A fine French silver Butterfield pattern sundial. Chapotot, Paris, circa 1700. The elongated octagonal plate with three hour scales for 40, 45 and 50 degrees, the outer IIII-XII-VIII divided into quarter-hours, the inner two 5-12-7 divided into half hours, the centre with engraved vignette of a townscape within curved band signed CHAPOTOT A PARIS with scallop shell and trumpet horn motif above, with glazed four-point compass and hinged bird engraved adjustable gnomen calibrated in degrees for elevation to the outer edge, the underside engraved with latitudes for twenty cities including Londres, Cracouie, Copenhague, Strasbourg, Rome, Madrid, Stokholme, Amsterdam and Hambourg the compass base further decorated with a leafy rosette, 5.8cm (2.25ins) wide; in original leather case with red velvet lined interior applied with a an old label for TESSIERS LTD, LONDON the cover with pique work crown motif within line border, 6.5cm (2.5ins) wide overall. Louis Chapotot worked ‘Sur Le Quay de l’Horloge, Ile de La Cite, A La Sphere, Paris’ circa 1670-1700. He was appointed Master of the ‘Corporation des Fondeurs’ and is thought to have latterly taken his son into partnership who may have subsequently continued the business for a short period during the early years of the 18th century. This type of portable pocket sundial was devised by Michael Butterfield, an English Instrument maker who settled in Paris around 1685. By the end of the century Butterfield’s workshop was also located on the ‘Le Quay de l’Horloge’ hence he would have known Louis Chapotot as a neighbour. The pique work crown to the lid of the case of the current lot appears original and depicts a crown with alternating diamond and lozenge collar beneath rosettes to the coronet. Although very closely related to the Royal Crown, the substitution of rosettes in place of fleur-de-lys to the coronet suggests that the crown belonged to one of the ‘Great Officers of the Crown’, a group of trusted nobles who held the most important administrative offices within the Court. With this in mind it would be reasonable to suggest that the current lot was purchased directly from Chapotot (who was based just around the corner from The Louvre) by an important member of the Royal Court.

A rare James I brass sundial. Inscribed John Robins, dated 1619. The 8.75 inch octagonal plate fitted with scroll decorated angled gnomen set at 51 degrees and centred with a thirty-two point compass rose with stylised sunburst and billowing cloud engraved decoration to segments and annotated NE, SE, SW and NE within the inner track, the middle track engraved N, E, S and W and inscribed Iohn Robins between N and E, the narrow outer track with Roman numeral chapters IIII-XII-VIII divided into quarter-hours as well as eighths, with floating asterisk half hour markers and engraved Anno Cristi *1619* between IIII and VIII, the angles with line engraved border panels and holes drilled for fixing. The engraved detail, octagonal shape and the profile of the original gnomen of the current lot closely conforms to features seen on three related sundials by William Bowyer, Richard Hinton and Isaac Symmes illustrated and discussed in White, George NOT A BAD TIMEKEEPER: THE ENGLISH LANTERN CLOCK IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY (Antiquarian Horology Vol. 31 Sept. 2009 pages 624-8). Indeed the engraved N, E, S and W lettering is so close to those on the Hinton and Symmes dials that it would perhaps be reasonable to suggest that these three dials were engraved by the same hand. The narrow chapter ring, with its asterisk half-hour markers, also closely conforms with those of Bowyer and Hinton Dials and can be compared with the chapter rings applied to the earliest English domestic clocks such as Francis Nowe’s chamber clock of 1588 and the earliest ‘First Period’ lantern clocks made in the Harvey workshops (prior to 1620). The striking similarities between the current lot and the Hinton, Bowyer and Symmes dials is such that it is possible that they were all made for the same purpose in neighbouring workshops. As White suggests that these examples were made by clockmakers to be supplied alongside lantern clocks then it would perhaps be reasonable to suggest that the current lot was also possibly made by a clockmaker for the same purpose. If this is the case then a date of 1619 would place this dial amongst the products of a maker producing some of the earliest lantern clocks. The engraved name ‘Iohn Robins’ has clearly been added by a different hand than the maker of the dial -as indicated by style of the text with its hatched stems and very positioning on the dial. The style of the font (in particular the ‘s’ of ‘Robins’) suggests that this name was added soon after the dial was made and is probably more likely to be the name of the original owner rather than the maker. It is perhaps interesting to note that records indicate that a John Robins bought a farmhouse known as ‘Boddenhams’ from the Manor of Upton St. Leonards, near Gloucester in 1619. This location would certainly be close enough to the latitude 51 degrees North to allow the current lot to give reasonably accurate readings. Please note: The estimate in the printed catalogue is incorrect
