A REGENCY TWELVE-INCH TERRESTRIAL LIBRARY TABLE GLOBEDRAWN BY W. AND T.M. BARDIN, SOLD BY J. WATKINS, LONDON, CIRCA 1805The sphere applied with twelve engraved gores now incomplete and with oval blood-red varnish incorporating circular panel to the North Pacific inscribed THE, NEW TWELVE-INCH, Terrestrial Globe, REPRESENTING THE, ACCURATE POSITIONS OF THE, PRINCIPAL, KNOWN PLACES OF THE EARTH, FROM THE DISCOVERIES, OF CAPTAIN COOK, AND SUBSEQUENT CIRCUMNAVIGATORS, TO THE PRESENT PERIOD, with curved overlay J Watkins Charing Cross LONDON over with additions to 1805 to lower margin, with evidence of having an extensively annotated and fully graduated equatorial calibrated in minutes and degrees, ecliptic and meridians, also just visible many explorers' tracks and numerous notes and dates, the continents with nation states showing cities, towns, rivers, mountains in pictorial relief, pivoted via the pole axis within brass meridian circle divided for degrees, set within a horizon ring now lacking papers, the tripod stand incorporating four quadrants supporting the meridian ring over reeded squat baluster upright and downcurved supports, vacant compass stretcher and terminating with tapered feet.61cm (24ins) high, 44cm (17.25ins) diameter overall. The text of the circular panel printed to the North pacific conforms to globes drawn by William and Thomas Marriot Bardin in 1803/05. William Bardin (1783-98) was a freeman of the Leatherseller's Company who starting making globes in around 1780. His first globes were 9 and 12 inch diameter published in collaboration with Gabriel Wright on 1st January 1782. Wright was a mathematical instrument maker who had previously worked for Benjamin Martin who, in turn, had acquired the plates of Senex's celebrated globes from James Ferguson. William's son, Thomas Marriott, is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as a globe maker apprenticed to his father, 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 Marriott. The firm was taken-on by Thomas's daughter, Elizabeth Marriott, after his death in 1820 and then by her husband, S.S. Edkins. on their marriage in 1832. They took a son into partnership in 1848 and the business continued until shortly after S.S. Edkins's death in 1853. Jeremiah Watkins is recorded by Clifton as working from 5 Charing Cross, London 1798 until his death in 1810. In his earlier partnership with Walter Watkins he became one of the most prolific retailers of optical, scientific, mathematical and surveying instruments during the closing decade of the 18th century. At this time it was common practice for the vendors of globes to put their own trade label over that of the manufacturer.

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. Cary's 21-inch globes were the largest and most impressive produced during the George III and Regency period.Condition Report: Both globes are in very fine near retail clean condition. The celestial has some very slight filling and touching-in to address some cracking to the equinoctial affecting around a third of the circumference at that point. Otherwise faults are very much limited to a few very small historic scuff repairs and some very localised staining to the joints between some of the gores. The Terrestrial has a small (15 by 5mm) clean puncture just below Australia and a few very light surface scratching to the Southern regions. There is also a small filled scuff and staining adjacent to the bottom pivot. Sphere otherwise is in very fine condition with only or two small filled blemishes and light overall mottling. The brass fittings appear all-original and are in good condition with slightly mellowed lacquer finish. Both stands are in fine condition. The Horizon papers are in clean condition exhibiting only very minor browning. There are some light shrinkage cracking (from movement within the ring beneath) showing through the papers but no apparent losses or infilling. Both compasses are complete; the paper to the terrestrial has tears and rubbing but no losses, the celestial has losses and touching in to the paper, both have noticeable browning hence are now light beige in colour. The frames are in very good clean condition - the celestial has visible plugged fixings to the outer surfaces of the legs corresponding to the cabriole inner supports and compass stretcher; the terrestrial has similar visible plugs but for only for the compass stretcher. Faults are otherwise limited to light shrinkage and minor restorations to the ebony stringing. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH NAPOLEON III ORMOLU MOUNTED CARARRA FIGURAL MANTEL CLOCK IN THE LOUIS XVI TASTEDENIERE WITH MOVEMENT SUPPLIED BY CAILLEAUX, PARIS, THIRD QUARTER OF THE 19th CENTURYThe circular eight-day bell-striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by a disc bob pendulum incorporating Brocot type regulation to suspension, the backplate stamped 729, DENIERE, A PARIS to upper left over CAILLEAUX BREVETE roundel to bottom centre, the circular convex white enamel Roman numeral dial inscribed DENIERE, F'T DE BRONZES, A PARIS to centre and with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with fine gilt scroll pierced and engraved gilt hands set behind a hinged convex-glazed bead decorated cast brass bezel, the case cast with a winged putto standing to the left reading from a scroll draped over a moulded drum housing the movement and dial, opposing book, globe and wreath ornaments to the right hand side, on stepped caddy-moulded marble base applied with generous tied laurel mount beneath the dial and with re-entrant corners, over elaborate acanthus scroll cast and chased apron mount incorporating out-swept supports.33cm (13ins) high, 34cm (13.5ins) wide, 15cm (6ins) deep. The Paris firm of Bronziers, Maison Deniere, was established in 1804 by Jean-François Denière who supplied clocks and candelabra for the French palaces, most notably Versailles and the Grand Trianon. The business continued under successive generations until around 1890; they are credited with supplying clocks for Napoleon III in 1852 and 1854 (Chateau des Tuilleries). Cailleaux was the principal supplier of 'Pendule de Paris' clock movements to Deniere who were registered as working from Rue du Temple in Paris between 1842 and 1870. The design of the case of the current clock appears to be loosely based upon a 'Pendule de Chemonie, allegorie de la geographe' by Morlay, as illustrated in Verlet, Pierre LES BRONZES DORE FRANCAIS de XVIIIIe siècle (page 245).Condition Report: The movement appears to be complete and in original condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The trains are fully wound; the going train will beat but is prone to stopping, the strike train is operational, the mechanism is generally somewhat dirty/neglected hence a gentle clean/service is probably all that is required. The dial has some very slight chipping to the right hand winding hole otherwise appears to be in fine original condition. The case has overall patchy grime/discolouration/tarnishing to the gilding hence would benefit from a skilled clean. The laurel wreath mount (normally applied to the right hand side) is presently detached but undamaged. The marble has minimal edge chipping.Clock has a non-original pendulum and winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

The business was continued by Jeremiah alone until his death in 1810. The partnership was one of the most prolific retailers of optical, scientific, mathematical and surveying instruments during the closing decade of the 18th century. At this time it was common practice for the vendors of globes to put their own trade label over that of the manufacturer.Condition Report: Globe has been cosmetically restored; has been gently cleaned and coat of fresh varnish applied. Both poles have evidence of slight movement but the globe is secure on its axis. The gores show evidence of historic rubbing and slight wear with a few small losses to the papers in places, slight opening of the joins between the papers, and there is overall greying beneath the relatively fresh varnish. The stand is in good restored condition; the horizon papers are unfortunately photographic replicas. The column has evidence of repaired vertical cracking but is in strong solid structural condition.Please note additional images are available which form an integral part of the condition report. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASEHAWTHORN, LONDON, CIRCA 1770 The five pillar rack and bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by seconds pendulum, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with recessed subsidiary seconds and calendar dials to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with pierced steel hands and cast rococo scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch with rolling moonphase incorporating terrestrial globe engraved lunettes and calibrated for the age of the moon to the outer edge of the disc beneath signature HAWTHORN, LONDON engraved in a curve to the upper margin, in a case with concave sided 'pagoda' upstand with shaped fretwork panel to fascia over cavetto moulded break-arch cornice and hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by brass stop-fluted columns, the sides with rectangular windows and plain quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with concave throat moulding over flame figured mahogany veneered break-arch door applied with complex mouldings to edges, the base with concave top mouldings over rectangular raised panel incorporating angled corners and moulded double skirt with shaped apron.244cm (96ins) high excluding finials, 53.5cm (21ins) wide, 27cm (10.5ins) deep. The current lot is probably by Edward Hawthorn who is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London during the late 18th century.Condition Report: The movement is complete and in relatively clean working condition with no noticeable replacements. The movement frontplate has two unused holes intended for dial feet to each of the top two corners. The positioning of these conflict with the lunar disc hence the maker resorted to fixing the dial via feet positioned outside of the calendar ring pinned to tabs screwed to the frontplate. The positioning of all the other features of the match that of the movement (winding squares, seconds arbor, centre hole etc) and appear undisturbed hence we are of the opinion that the dial is original to the movement and these spare upper dial feet holes were a genuine mistake by the maker which was corrected at the time the movement and dial were made. The dial itself is in good relatively clean condition; the moon disc has been retouched but is connected/operational as is the calendar. The hands are possibly replacements. The movement retains an old seatboard which rests directly ono the cheek uprights of the case which have been reduced in height by around half an inch. This detail would suggest that the movement and dial may not be original to the case (although they are very well suited).The case is in sound condition although the backboard has internal bracing to (stabilise joints/cracks in the panel) applied to the interior. The trunk door retains original lock and hinges and is nice and straight. The finish is a little dark and glassy and there are some historic bumps, scuffs, one or two small veneer patch repairs and minor shrinkage cracking.Clock has pendulum (badly broken), two brass-cased weights, case key but no winder.  Condition Report Disclaimer

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: Globe is generally in relatively original 'country house' condition. The sphere retains old colouring beneath a coat of relatively recently applied varnish. This recently applied coat of varnish is somewhat unevenly executed with a few light runs and sags. There is some historic damage beneath the varnish mainly old flaking to the original varnish and scuffing the worst of which being three vertical touched-in scratches passing through Europe down into Africa a large patch of previous varnish loss to the centre of Africa and a smaller area of similar damage to North America. There is also some concentric rubbing/scratching adjacent to the Tropic of Cancer and the equator (commensurate with something rubbing between the brass meridian ring and the globe itself whilst the sphere is being rotated. The bottom pole has some cracking, movement and slight losses around the pivot and the top has some slight opening to the gores beneath the hour circle. The meridian ring and hour circle are in good original albeit dirty/discoloured condition and the globe rotates comfortably without rubbing. The brass bottom mount (that locates with and hods the meridian ring steady) The stand is in sound original condition with the horizon papers complete and in comparable condition as the globe and the woodwork with relatively minor age-related bumps, scuffs and wear. Condition Report Disclaimer

Souter, School Library, 151 Fleet St. London to North Pacific, with extensively annotated and fully graduated equatorial and the Pacific ocean with THE ANALEMMA for the equation of time, the oceans with many explorers' tracks and numerous notes and dates, Antarctica with no land shown except for Enderby's Land dated 1833, the continents with nation states faintly colour-outlined, showing cities, towns, rivers, mountains in pictorial relief, pivoted via the polar axis within brass meridian circle divided for degrees and with brass hour circle to North pole, set within hand coloured engraved paper horizon ring with compass points and degrees in both directions, Zodiac, calendar scales and wind directions, in a stand with four down-curved quadrant supports cradling the globe over vase-turned upright and three outswept supports united by glazed compass stretcher inset with paper printed with elaborate thirty-two point rose within outer scale divided for degrees, terminating with ball feet.88cm (30.5ins) high, 43cm (17ins) diameter overall. The present globe is a known edition by S.S. Edkins (successors to T.W. Bardin). The lower margin of the roundel is applied with Souter's address over the original printed text 'Manufactured by S.S. Edkins Son in Law and Successor to the late T. M. Bardin Salisbury Square London'. William Bardin (1783-98) was a freeman of the Leatherseller's Company who starting making globes in around 1780. His first globes were 9 and 12 inch diameter published in collaboration with Gabriel Wright on 1st January 1782. Wright was a mathematical instrument maker who had previously worked for Benjamin Martin who, in turn, had acquired the plates of Senex's celebrated globes from James Ferguson. William's son, Thomas Marriott, is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as a globe maker apprenticed to his father, 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 Marriott. The firm was taken-on by Thomas's daughter, Elizabeth Marriott, after his death in 1820 and then by her husband, S.S. Edkins. on their marriage in 1832. They took a son into partnership in 1848 and the business continued until shortly after S.S. Edkins's death in 1853. J. Souter appears not to be recorded in the usual sources however online sources suggest that they were specialist publishers and retailers of books and maps for educational purposes and were established before 1820.Condition Report: The glove is generally in good original condition with no visible cracks or noticeable losses/infilling to the gores. The gores have noticeable opening between the sections with some noticeable related staining to the edges. Otherwise notable faults are essentially limited to some historic mottling, greying/blooming to the upper surfaces. The current varnish appears relatively recently applied and is quite 'shiny'. Although the standi is contemporary to the globe we cannot offer any assurances that it is original to the globe. The meridian papers are quite light in colour but in sound condition with minor wear and some visible shrinkage to the ring beneath visible through the papers. There is no brass mount for the meridian ring (just a raised slot in the top of the columns) and one foot has a small spliced repair to the tip. The compass appears in good condition although the paper has probably been 'washed'.Please note additional images are available which form an integral part of the condition report. Condition Report Disclaimer

There is evidence of minor filling and consolidation of light cracking around the bottom pivot and overall light mottling to the surface. The present surface finish is very even with only a few slight historic blemishes evident beneath the varnish; the hand colouring is faded but still eminently visible. The meridian ring, hour circle and other brass fittings are in fine condition. The meridian papers have also been conserved to a high standard hence condition is commensurate with the globe. The stand has a couple of loose joints (glue has dried-out) otherwise is in sound original condition with some age-related bumps and scuffs evident. Condition Report Disclaimer

The dial has overall discolouration/wear to the silvering, the numerals are heavily rubbed and the tip of the hour hand is missing. The case is complete and retains original gilt finish to the castings with only light rubbing to the high spots and edges. The flat areas to the platform tops, sides and rear have become evenly tarnished/discoloured. The 'bookcase' mount to the surmount is loose on its fixing (screw needs tightening from beneath which requires the movement to be removed). The protractor is also loose (lacks securing nut) and the rear left hand foot is also loose (lacks fixing bolt and nut).Clock has a pendulum but no winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer

Charles Delamarche first acquired the remaining part of Robert Vaugondy's workshop, republishing their atlases and globes before taking over Jean Fortin's business in 1795. Latterly Delamarche also purchased the stock of Jean Lattree (publisher of the Lalande and Bonne Globes); through these acquisitions Delamarche essentially monopolised the Parisian globe making trade. The business passed to Charles Delamarche's son, Felix, in 1817 who continued production to around 1848.Condition Report: Globe presents as being in good original condition with nice mellow colour. Although it appears essentially untouched the globe has received some light sensitively executed restoration to address slight cracks to East Africa and the Atlantic. There is also some slight filling and restoration to North America/Canada and China. Faults to the sphere are otherwise limited to very light surface rubbing. The Meridian, horizon and other areas of printed paper are in good condition with faults limited to a few very light bumps/scuffs; the rear of the meridian ring (unprinted) has some overpainting to address an area where a section of thin card lining has been lost. The hour ring appears to be a restoration/replacement; the stand has been re-polished over historic bumps, scuffs and scratches.Please note additional images are available which form an integral part of the condition report. Condition Report Disclaimer
