A William & Mary walnut cistern tube stick barometer in the manner of John Patrick Unsigned, circa 1695.

Ref. 2. Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Stick or Cistern Tube page 17. The decorative hood superstructure which incorporates spiral twist columns emulates the design of longcase clock from the end of the 17th century and bears similarities to examples depicted in John Patricks advertisement of circa 1710 reproduced in Goodison, Nicholas English BAROMETERS 1680-1860 page 48. Although this configuration appeared to be popular well into the first two decades of the 18th century, Banfield suggests (BAROMETERS Stick or Cistern Tube page 18) that the use of fretwork in the case indicates a date prior to 1700.

Lot 122
A George II mahogany cistern tube stick barometer James Verrier, North Curry, circa 1750. With three brass ball finials to the ogee moulded break-arch pediment and frieze above glazed conforming shaped-top foliate engraved silvered double scale with herringbone border, titled SOMMER and WINTER and inscribed Fair if rise and Foul if Fall above signature Jams Verrier, North Curry to lower margin, the Winter scale with brass setting pointer adjusted via a brass disc to the right-hand side of the trunk, flanked by turned three-quarter pilasters with brass capitals and bases above cavetto moulded throat and recessed exposed tube to the trunk, the square panel base with moulded upper and lower edges and centred with a turned rosette, 105cm high, B.C. Ref. 9. Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Stick or Cistern Tube pages 46 and 47 and described on page 49. James Verrier is recorded by Banfield as working in North Curry, Somerset circa 1750. A.J. Moore records him in THE CLOCKMAKERS OF SOMERSET 1650-1900 as working 1752-1774 and describes him as a maker of very fine clocks. Moore also reproduces an account of a clock described in Western Flying Post July 28th 1755 which appears to be perpetually driven by either changes in temperature or possibly barometric pressure. The form of this particular barometer strongly resembles that of a longcase clock, perhaps reflecting Verriers primary occupation. The scale is unusually annotated with Changeable against 29 inches rather than at the usual 29.5 inches, Banfield suggests that this may either be an honest error by the maker or specifically made to compensate for the original owner living at around 500 feet above sea level.
Lot 138

Lot 152
A fine and rare George II walnut syphon tube wheel barometer John Hallifax, Barnsley, circa 1730. With stepped caddy pediment above moulded cornice and book-matched veneers to trunk centred by a 7.5 inch circular register calibrated in inches and also divided 0-30 corresponding to the decimal divisions of the barometric inches, the foliate engraved brass centre signed John Hallifax Barnsley Inv:t fecit, within ogee moulded bezel above applied recording ring with two blued steel pointers to the rounded base, 114cm high, B.C. Ref. 119. Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Wheel or Banjo page 18. John Hallifax is recorded by Banfield as being born in 1694 and dying in 1750. His father was the vicar of Springthorpe, Lincolnshire. It is probable that John Hallifax moved to Barnsley to set up business as a clockmaker, where he became very highly regarded within the locality soon after his fathers death in 1711. Perhaps the best known barometers from Hallifaxs workshop are those that take the form of a longcase clock (see following Lot), however several of the current examples form are known, perhaps the best known being one presently housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum which is illustrated and described in Goodison, Nicholas English BAROMETERS Part II Some Important Makers and Retailers page 158. The current example benefits from having an attractive stepped caddy pediment rather than the simple domed pediment seen on almost all other known examples and the relatively restrained design is enhanced by the use of book-matched veneers on the trunk.
Lot 153
A fine inlaid mahogany longcase clock form syphon tube dial barometer J. Hallifax, Barnsley, circa 1770. With swan neck pediment and turned hood pilasters flanking hinged break-arch glazed door enclosing a 6 inch brass register with matted centre within silvered ring calibrated in inches and also divided 0-30 corresponding to the decimal divisions of the barometric inches, the angles with mask and scroll cast spandrels beneath circular boss signed J. Hallifax BARNSLEY Inv. & fecit flanked by conforming mounts, the trunk with cavetto moulded throat above two floral oval paterae centred inlaid panels divided by circular inset brass recording chapter ring centred by an eight-pointed parquetry star, the plinth base with conforming panel inlay centred by a marquetry rosette, 112cm high, B.C. Ref. 120. Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Wheel or Banjo page 20 and described on page 22. John Hallifax is recorded by Banfield as being born in 1694 and dying in 1750. The business was continued by his fifth son, Joseph, who died in 1762, his fourth son, George, had moved to Doncaster by 1750 where he set up business as a clockmaker, twice becoming Mayor. John Hallifax produced many examples of this highly individual form of barometer throughout the first half of the 18th century, almost all surviving examples are veneered in walnut and have stepped caddy pediments to the hood. See Goodison, Nicholas English BAROMETERS Part II Some Important Makers and Retailers pages 157-159. Banfield suggests that this barometer was possibly made by George Hallifax using surplus components after his brother Josephs death in 1762.
Lot 154

Ref. 135. Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Wheel or Banjo page 57. Chamberlain is recorded by Banfield as working in Portsea circa 1800-20.
