A lacquered brass aneroid barometer, retailed by E. J. Dent, Paris, mid 19th centuryThe 4 inch circular silvered register inscribed E. J. DENT, Paris and numbered 5975 to centre within concentric scale calibrated in barometric inches divided into hundredths and annotated with the usual observations to outer track and inscribed Aneroid Barometer to lower margin, with blued steel pointer set behind bevel-glazed bezel with milled border fronting drum-shaped case fitted with suspension bow, 12cm (4.75ins) diameter.Provenance: The collection of the late R. J. Taylor formerly of Huntsgreen Farm, Boxford, near Newbury.Edward John Dent was a talented horologist who at the age of 17 transferred his apprenticeship from the trade of tallow chandler to watchmaking under the charge of Edward Gaudin in 1807. By 1817 he had become well known as a watch and clockmaker receiving commissions from the Admiralty for a 'Standard Astronomical Clock' and pocket chronometers for the Colonial Office Africa Expedition.In 1830 Dent went into partnership with the renowned watch and chronometer maker John Roger Arnold which continued until 1840 when he left and set up business alone as E.J. Dent at 82 Strand, London, primarily making marine chronometers, watches and precision clocks. In 1843 the firm expanded taking on a second premises at 33 Cocksur Street, with the Strand premises moving down the road to number 61 by 1851. In 1852 Edward Dent successfully tendered to make the 'great clock' to be housed in Stephen's tower at the New Palace of Westminster. The clock was completed by 1859, apparently at a financial loss to the firm, however it ensured that Dent became a household name synonymous with fine clockmaking.Unfortunately Edward John Dent did not live to see the installation of the 'great clock' as he died in 1853. He was succeeded by his stepson Frederick Rippon Dent, who, in partnership with his brother Richard, continued to expand the business. By 1862 the firm had added 34 Cockspur Street and 34 & 35 Royal Exchange to their list of addresses and, although having seen natural passage of ownership over the intervening years, the business still continues to trade today as Dent & Co.The design of the current aneroid barometer was devised by a Frenchman, Lucien Vidie in the early 1840’s. In 1844 a patent was taken out in England and due to a legal dispute regarding the quality of a batch made for Vidie by Redier of Paris Vidie sought to expand the market by collaborating with Edward John Dent in London. The aneroid barometer subsequently proved to be a great success in England mainly due to a very favourable review by Sir G. B. Airy, the Astronomer General at Greenwich.
