Provenance: The Selwyn Demmy Collection. The firm of Negretti & Zambra are recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as being established in 1850 when a partnership between Enrico Negretti and Joseph Warren Zambra was formed. The firm became one of the most prolific makers of scientific instruments and continued trading well into the 20th century.The current lot is a textbook example of a Fishery or Sea Coast storm barometer devised by Admiral Robert Fitzroy in the 1860`s to aid mariners in the forecasting of storms. Fitzroy lobbied the Board of Trade resulting in this type of barometer being supplied (at public expense) to many coastal communities for display in a prominent public space. In addition to this The Royal Lifeboat Institution installed these barometers into each of its stations and the Duke of Northumberland (in association with the British Meteorological Society) erected several on the coast of Northumberland. By 1864 over 80 barometers had been installed by the Board of Trade and a further 14 by the Duke of Northumberland with their usefulness fully appreciated in Fitzroy's Meteorological Office Report published that year.Condition Report: The tube is filled with no apparent airlocks and both Vernier slides are fully operational however there is only one key present. The arched signature plate has some slight hairline cracking to the lower right hand corner which can only really be seen on very close examination being behind the bevel cut of the glass. The thermometer is in good condition although the tube is probably a replacement. The case is in good original condition with only minor bumps, scuffs and other age related blemishes.

Lot 208
A WILLIAM III WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCKUnsigned, circa 1695The five finned pillar bell inside countwheel bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds period pendulum, 11 inch square brass dial with ringed decoration to the subsidiary seconds dial, winding holes, and the foliate scroll border engraved calendar aperture to the rosette decorated matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with stylised sword hilt half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to the narrow outer track, with pierced sculpted steel hands and mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles with scroll engraved infill to the margins between, in a case with moulded cornice and plain frieze to lintel over leafy trail inlaid fixed dial surround and rectangular windows to the sides of the hood, the trunk with convex walnut veneered throat moulding over 41.5 inch rectangular door centred with an oval lenticle and with three shaped marquetry panels decorated with bird inhabited floral sprays and scrolling foliage on an ebonised ground within a figured walnut field, the sides veneered with twin panels within crossbanded borders, the base with stepped ogee top moulding and conforming rectangular marquetry panel over later moulded ebonised skirt.208cm (82ins) high, 42cm (16.5ins) wide, 23cm (9ins) deep.Condition Report: Movement is in clean working condition and appears all original with no evidence of alteration or significant replacements. The dial is in clean condition with only a few very light spots of discolouration to the silvering of the chapter ring; the hands appear original although both have historic repairs. The movement rests on a replacement seatboard directly onto the side uprights of the trunk (cheeks). The seatboard has been thinned at each end to align the dial down slightly in the hood aperture; the presence of this detail (and the fact that the seatboard is a replacement) means that we can offer no firm assurances that the movement and dial are original to the case although they would seem to go together extremely well.The case is generally in sound original condition. The hood was originally made to rise but has since been converted to slide forward however fortunately the front has not been adapted to incorporate an opening door. The slip that borders the rear top edge is a replacement otherwise appears all original. The front glass is lacking and the angles would have originally been fitted with twist columns together with quarter columns against bargeboards to each side at the rear. The trunk is in good condition, the door retains its original hinges but the lock is a replacement. The door has some slight shrinkage cracking to the veneers towards both the top and lower edges from where the door panel has moved slightly against the horizontal clamps applied to the upper and lower edges of the panel. This detail is typical/expected on marquetry cases and is not problematic as forms part of the overall sense of age/patina. The marquetry is in good condition although areas of green have been touched-in by hand. There is slight old worm damage to the border inlay and a small veneer patch repair to the upper edge of the surround. Both sides of the trunk are in good condition. The marquetry to the base appears original as does the structure behind. There is a slight horizontal shrinkage crack across the marquetry panel and the crossbanded border has a few small historic veneer patch repairs. The side veneers are in good condition although the right hand side shows some movement/shrinkage in the panel. The backboard and sides of the trunk do not continue all the way down into the base (as would be expected in a case of this type) but terminate around four inches short of the lower edge of the box of the base. However it would appear that the case was originally made with this detail rather than being indicative of the structure being cut/reduced at some point. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to relatively minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage, small amount of historic worm holes and other blemishes commensurate with age.Generally a good honest example that would potentially respond very well to a relatively small amount of work to the case. Clock has pendulum, two cast iron weights, case key and a crank winder. Condition Report Disclaimer
