Provenance: By repute an important private estate, Cardiganshire. The current lot is a textbook example of London third period practice using frame castings developed probably just prior to 1660 (see White, George English Lantern Clocks page 180 figures IV/37 - IV/39 and lot 153). By this time the design of the dial engraving had also become relatively standardised hence the tulip decoration on the current lot can be compared (along with the iron hand) with that seen on a clock by Benjamin Hill which was sold in these rooms on Tuesday 15th September 2015 (lot 155), as well as numerous other examples by the likes of Nicholas Coxeter, Richard Ames and Thomas Wheeler made during the 1660's-70's.
Lot 298
Ω A fine and rare George III mahogany wheel barometer with pendulum timepiece and twelve inch dial James Gatty and George Jamison, London, circa 1800 With Swan neck pediment and silvered hydrometer inscribed Dry/Damp set behind glazed brass bezel to the upper section of the fine triple-strung rosewood crossbanded case, the baluster outline upright applied with arch-glazed Fahrenheit scale mercury thermometer over balloon-shaped timepiece with eight-day circular four pillar single fusee movement incorporating upside-down wheel train terminating with tic-tac escapement with offset pallets regulated by short silvered disc-shaped bob pendulum, the 4 inch circular silvered brass dial with engraved signature Jamison, Charing Cross over large subsidiary seconds dial interrupting the VI numeral to centre and gilt spade hands, set behind hinged balloon-shaped door with triple-line edged surround, the 12 inch elaborate foliate medallion-centred circular silvered register annotated in barometric inches and with the usual observations to circumference within generous cast brass bezel, the rounded base with disc for setting the recording pointer over glazed spirit level signed Ja s Gatty, high Holb n, LONDON, 117cm (46ins) high excluding finial. James Gatty is recorded in Goodison, Nicholas English Barometers 1680-1860 working from 130 and 132 High Holborn. His exact dates or whether he started as an optician or immigrant glassblower are unknown however a barometer by him was included in the sale of Sir William Chambers s furniture in 1796; a James Gattey is also recorded as working from 64 Tooley Street in 1802. Gatty is considered to be probably the most sought-after maker of early wheel barometers which tend to be of the finest quality. George Jamison is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working from London (Charing Cross) and Portsmouth (Queen Street) 1786-1810. Jamison was a highly skilled watchmaker who no doubt supplied watches to many Naval officers passing through Portsmouth and later worked in partnership with William Howells and Paul Phillip Barraud to produce marine chronometers to William Mudge s design (after the arrangement between Pennington Mudge and Howells broke down in 1796). In addition to chronometers Jamison is also known for his complex spherical skeleton clocks often incorporating astronomical features (see Roberts, Derek BRITISH SKELETON CLOCKS pages 18-19). The timepiece movement of the current lot is of fine quality with generous column-turned pilasters and delicate wheelwork and was clearly purpose-made with the trains configured with the escapement at six o clock to allow the short pendulum to swing beneath the movement (rather than behind). The incorporation of this into a fine instrument by Gatty compliments his high quality approach and adds to the importance of the current lot which can probably be fairly described as one of the finest mercury wheel barometers to come onto the market in recent years.Cites RegulationsPlease note that this lot (lots marked with the symbol Ω in the printed catalogue) may be subject to CITES regulations when exported from the EU.
