The overall attention to detail - in particular the precision of the inlay, crispness of the mouldings and superb column turnings indicates that the case was made by a leading workshop, hence would warrant a possible attribution to Gillows of Lancaster. The movement is also of fine quality but was made around 1900 and, in order to create room for the tubular bells/gongs, required the case to be increased in depth by around 2 inches. This work was executed extremely well with a great deal of effort taken to ensure perfect integration with the earlier elements. Indeed the sides of the trunk would have required r-veneering with the current arrangement of oval and circular panels no doubt being devised at that time to add decorative detail so to lessen the effect of the increased depth.  

A FINE PAIR OF GEORGE III/REGENCY 12 INCH LIBRARY TABLE GLOBES Thomas Bardin and William & Samuel Jones, London, 1817 and 1800The terrestrial sphere applied with twelve coloured printed gores incorporating panel inscribed THE, NEW TWELVE INCH, BRITISH, Terrestrial Globe, REPRESENTING THE, ACCURATE POSITIONS OF THE PRINCIPAL, KNOWN PLACES OF THE EARTH., FROM THE DISCOVERIES OF, CAPTIAN COOK, AND SUBSEQUENT CIRCUMNAVIGATORS, TO THE PRESENT PERIOD, with corrections and additions to, 1817, Manufactured by T.M. Bardin 16 Salisbury Square London to North Pacific and extensively annotated with principal cities, towns, rivers, lakes, mountains and other significant topographical features, the oceans with all significant islands labelled, the West Pacific with THE ANALEMMA of the equation of time, and the Equator lines divided in minutes and degrees, the ECLIPTIC graduated in minutes; the celestial annotated with major constellations incorporating fanciful figural representations and stars graded in seven orders of magnitude, the Equator and Ecliptic both divided for minutes and degrees and the lower hemisphere with panel inscribed THE, NEW TWELVE INCH, British Celestial Globe, Containing the exact position of more than 3800 FIXD STARS, Nebulae, Planetary Nebulae, &c: according, to the Latest Discoveries and Observations of Dr Maskelyne, Dr Herschel and other eminent, Astronomers, And adapted to the, present period 1800, with a second overlaid cartouche nearby inscribed SOLD BY, W. & S. JONES, Holborn, London, each sphere with poles incorporating brass hour rings and pivots for mounting within brass meridian circles divided for degrees, resting in wooden stands with matching hand coloured paper horizon rings each graduated in degrees in two directions, days-of-the-month and houses of the Zodiac with names and symbols and also displaying compass directions, the stands each with four curved quadrant supports for the horizon ring over squat ring-turned baluster upright issuing three cabriole supports with pointed pad feet with compass stretcher between, (the celestial faded and part restored and both compasses incomplete). 63cm (24.75ins) high, 43cm (17ins) wide overall. Thomas Marriott Bardin is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as a globe maker apprenticed to his father, William, in 1783 with whom he went into partnership in 1790. Bardin and Son initially worked from 4 Hind Court, Fleet Street, London before moving to 16 Salisbury Square in 1975. William Bardin died in 1795 leaving the business in the hands of Thomas who remained working from the same address until 1839. William and Samuel Jones are recorded by Clifton as optical, mathematical and philosophical instrument makers who worked from several addresses in Holborn 1791-1859 including 135 Holborn (1792-1800) and 30 Holborn (1800-1860). It is interesting to note that the celestial of this pair does not bear the name of Bardin, however it was common practice for the vendors of globes to put their own trade label over that of the manufacturer. Indeed, this was a matter of course with Bardin-supplied globes retailed by the Jones's such was the nature of their trading relationship (bearing in mind that very often it was William Jones who had designed the globe in the first place).Condition Report: The celestial sphere is part restored; the varnish has been removed and an area around the base pivot has been filled (approx. 5-6cm diameter). The brass ring for the north pole is currently detached otherwise sphere is in sound condition but with overall fading/patchy brown staining and heavy fading to surface and few light scuffs to the gores. The meridian papers are in good condition with only slight shrinkage evident. The compass is lacking its glass and needle but the paper is present and in good condition the stand and brass fittings are in good condition.The terrestrial sphere is in sound original condition retaining old surface with only a few very slight varnish scuffs mainly near the southern pivot. The gores show some slight signs of opening/movement where they meet and the sphere has some loose material internally which can be heard when the sphere is rotated. There is overall age related discolouration/fazing to the surface but gores are generally clear and colours relatively strong. The meridian papers are heavily discoloured and worn with losses. The meridian ring is in sound condition. The stand and brass fittings are in sound condition, the compass is missing its paper, needle and glass. Condition Report Disclaimer

A REGENCY TWELVE INCH CELESTIAL LIBRARY TABLE GLOBEJohn and William Cary, London, circa 1810The sphere applied with twelve engraved and hand tinted colour gores incorporating trade label CARY'S, NEW CELESTIAL GLOBE, ON WHICH, are carefully laid down upwards of 3,500 stars, Selected from the moft accurate observations, and calculated to the Year 1800, with the extent of each constellation precisely delined, By MR. GILPIN of the ROYAL SOCIETY... with the constellations represented by delicately coloured mythical beasts and figures and appropriately labelled along with the stars with brightness represented in seven grades of MAGNITUDE, with equinoctial graduated in degrees and ecliptic with Zodiacal calendar and also graduated in degrees, pivoted via the poles within brass meridian circle also further divided for degrees, resting in wooden stand with hand coloured paper horizon ring graduated in degrees in two directions, days of the month and houses of the Zodiac with names and symbols and also showing compass directions, raised on four baluster turned supports with conforming turned stretchers to carry the meridian ring at the base, (damages). 42cm (16.5ins) approx. high, 43cm (17ins) wide overall. The celebrated Cary family business of scientific instrument and globe makers was established by John Cary at Johnson's Court, Fleet Street, London in 1782 moving to a new address at 'Corner of Arundel Square', Strand the following year. He was primarily an engraver of maps, charts and globes who moved again in 1783 to 188 Strand. By 1791 he had entered into what appeared to be a relatively casual partnership with his brother, William; this partnership lasted until circa 1816 by which time William and John Cary had moved again to 181 Strand before finally settling in 86 St. James in 1820. The following year he was succeeded by his sons, John (II) and George Cary, who continued from the firm's 181 Strand address until 1851/2 when the business was acquired by Henry Gould. Condition Report: The sphere exhibits extensive damage in the form of cracked and broken surface which has subsequently been stabilised with sections re-stuck resulting in uneven surface. In addition there is a crack to the equator which traverses approx. 70% the circumference; this crack has been stabilised. Both poles have concentric damage with repairs. The surface has overall wear, scuffs and some losses to the gores. The pivot attachments are solid and the meridian ring appears undamaged however the bottom locating post/lug is missing. The horizon ring is in sound condition with a relatively small chip to the edge, the papers are intact. The stand is generally in sound original condition but is in dirty/neglected condition. Condition Report Disclaimer
