A good pair of late 18th century brass saluting cannons by Thomas Pyke of Bridgwater, Somerset. (See centre pages for full description) Tapering multi-staged barrels with highly decorated astragals each ornamented with impressed semi-circles and dots. Similar decoration in the centre of the chase and around the swell of the muzzle. Also rings of decorative banding between the vent and first reinforce, around the chase and around the swell of the muzzle. Cascabel button slightly square in form with heavy moulding. Engraved across the top of the cannon between the first and second reinforce ring: "MADE BY T. PYKE B'WATER" Indistinct date engraving (heavily worn) of 178? between the vent and first reinforce ring. Total length: 44cm, at widest point across trunions: 14.7cm. Width of bore: 3cm. In excellent condition, unpolished, with a dull brown bronze patination and some small instances of verdigris in places. Thomas Pyke of Bridgwater (1740-1829) was a colourful individual. In addition to founding cannon, he was a brazier, bell founder, iron monger, clock & dial, chandelier and spinning jenny maker. There is a fine brass two-tier chandelier by Thomas Pyke of Bridgwater dated 1789 hanging in Exeter Guildhall. A staunch non-conformist, he played a leading role in the Unitarian church in Bridgwater. He was also actively involved in civic matters and was elected Mayor on two occasions. In 1791 he opened his own bank, which closed in 1813 prior to his bankruptcy in 1815. The accompanying newspaper advert is from the Sherborne & Yeovil Mercury, dated 8th January 1781 so it is evident he was very active in founding cannon at this time. Provenance: From a Cornish country estate, originally owned by one of their decorated Naval ancestors. Remaining in the same family to the present day. We would like to thank Nial and Deborah Woodford for kindly supplying us with biographical information regarding Thomas Pyke.
