A rare Queen Anne walnut cistern tube stick barometer with Royal Society scale thermometer. In the manner of John Patrick, London, Unsigned, circa 1710 and later. The ogee caddy top pediment with three turned brass finials above cavetto moulded break-arch cornice and arched herringbone border and foliate scroll engraved silvered scales with brass setting pointer and annotated for summer and winter conditions and inscribed Fair if Rise and Foul if Fall, flanked by pilasters with brass capitals and bases above cavetto moulded throat moulding, the trunk applied with alcohol thermometer with (replaced) silvered scale calibrated from 5 at the top down to 95 and with annotations from Extream Cold to Extream Hott flanked by vertical cross-grain cavetto mouldings to sides and with half dome above waisted cylinder turned cistern cover also enclosing thermometer bulb and with gilt brass pendant finial to base (some restoration, thermometer scale replaced), 105cm high. A closely related example is illustrated and described in Claxton Stevens, Christopher and Wittington, Stewart 18th CENTURY ENGLISH FURNITURE, THE NORMAN ADAMS COLLECTION, page 463. The Royal Society scale thermometer was devised by Robert Hooke in 1664 and was calibrated to every degree representing an increase of 1/500 in volume of the thermometer liquid. The scale used the freezing point of water as the fixed point and was scaled from high to low with the increase of temperature. As the rate of expansion of the alcohol varied between instruments, each scale had to be individually made . For the instrument. The current Lot has a replacement silvered scale as the original paper scale had probably become to worn and discoloured to read. Hooke’s original thermometer was adopted and became known as the standard of Gresham College and used by the Royal Society until 1709.

Provenance: The property of a private collector. John Knibb was born in 1650 and was apprenticed to his older brother, Joseph, in around 1664. When Joseph moved to London in 1670 to set up business (presumably in the workshop inherited from his uncle, Samuel) John, his younger brother, took-on the Oxford workshop gaining the Freedom of the city on payment of a fine in 1673. Throughout the latter three decades of the 17th century John and Joseph worked in parallel, however when the products from both workshops are examined, it is evident that they had a close working relationship. Joseph Knibb retired in 1697 selling-up most of his workshop before moving to Hanslop, Buckinghamshire where he made a few clocks prior to his death in 1711. John Knibb continued in business until his death in 1722. The movement of the current lot is fully latched and has the feature of separate cock for the pallet arbor (and cut-out for the pallets in the backplate) normally found on earlier clocks by Joseph with butterfly-nut pendulum regulation, however the casting for the pendulum hanging cock differs from those found on earlier clocks and the use of internal countwheel for striking the hours certainly dates it towards the end of the century. From these observations one could speculate that the movement of the current lot may well have been acquired by John from Joseph’s stock when he retired in 1697 or even on his death in 1711 before finishing and fitting with a dial. The fine proportions of the case closely echoes London work of the period. Despite being provincially made (probably Oxford) the case does exhibit features such as the distinctive spherical finials with button-shaped caps (which are often seen on other longcase clocks by the Knibb family) which set it aside from other provincial examples of the period.
