A very rare first half of the 19th century Scottish burr maple bow-fronted stick barometer with sliding bar for relative day recordingsAdie & Son, EdinburghThe Biedermeier-style case with rectangular cornice over a brass plaque with sliding bar to alternately reveal 'Yesterday' or 'Today', the trunk with two ivory recording knobs and terminating in a plinth cistern cover with inset ivory float for zero-ing purposes, the signed silvered dial with twin scales and verniers reading from 26 to 31 inches. 109cms (42 1/2ins) high (1)Footnotes:The Adie family supplied laboratories and the thriving scientific community in Scotland in the first half of the 19th century with the best instruments that money could buy. Such was Alexander Adie's standing in the scientific community, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1819. He took his son John into partnership in 1835 while based at 58 Princes Street. After 9 years they moved just four doors along the road. In 1857 Richard Adie took over the firm, although he continued to trade under the earlier name. In 1877 the firm moved to 37 Hanover Street. Their work is always of the highest quality. Alexander is probably best known for his invention of the sympiesometer in 1818.The pared-down elegance and use of light burr maple in the current lot is an echo of the Biedermeier style prevalent in Europe in the 1820-40 period, proving that the firm were well aware of the latest European fashions.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP Y ФTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A rare signed and dated late 18th century chequer-strung mahogany angle barometerBalthazar Knie, Edinburgh, 1787The angled case with twin suspension loops over a proud moulded edge terminating in a typical oval cistern cover, with visible tube angled at the shoulder, the inlaid ivory signature plaque dated 1787 over an ivory scale reading from 28 to 31 inches over a 17.25 inch total length, with seven weather predictions. 81cms (31 1/2ins) high (1)Footnotes:Born in Germany in 1738, Baltazar Knie became the best known barometer maker in Scotland. After years travelling around mainland Europe and Ireland as a jobbing barometer maker, he eventually settled in Edinburgh in 1776. An early advert announced that 'He blows and spins glass before company on the table, and forms many curiosities too tedious to mention. If any of the curious have in mind to see him work, they are heartily welcome, from six to eight in the evening. His stay in the city will be short.' Despite planning a short sojourn, Knie remained in the city for another forty years. Edinburgh at this time housed a strong contingent of both amateur and professional astronomers, scientists, meterologists etc; he was obviously among kindred spirits and they provided a keen clientele. In 1814, he planned to retire and to dispose of his stock of seventy instruments (valued at £309) by way of a lottery. However, it seems that due to lack of support, the idea was abandoned. Knie died in 1817.A similar instrument with ivory panel dated to 1782 was sold at Bonhams Edinburgh, 20th August 2010, lot 1206.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP Y ФTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
