A rare and fine miniature steelyard by John Joseph Merlin (1735-1803), c.1780, with a graduated beam with fine adjustment calibrated counterpoise, with silver pan within an original shaped green-stained shagreen case with silver metal mounts, beam 7.1cm long John Joseph Merlin was born in Liège in 1735 and came to England in 1760. By 1793, he is described as a 'goldsmith, jeweller, watchmaker, harpsichord and musical instrument maker and general mechanic'. Somewhat of an eccentric, he went on to achieve celebrity at a function by playing a violin of his own make, on roller skates, where he impaled himself against a mirror valued at £500, smashing it to smithereens along with the instrument, and wounding himself most severely. Also known for producing numerous novelties, mechanical dolls and entertaining items, an invalid chair, a personal weighing machine, a roasting jack, and a watch for John Constable, he is also mentioned in Dr Johnson's diary for 28 March 1782: 'Merlin's steelyard given me'. Merlin's silver swan automaton is in Bowes Museum and his portrait, painted by Gainsborough in 1781, hangs In Kenwood House, depicting him with coin steelyard in hand. Merlin died in 1803 and most of the stock from 'Merlin's Mechanical Museum' was sold to Thomas Weeks for his newly opened museum in Tichborne St., London. See 'John Joseph Merlin, The Ingenious Mechanick', published by Greater London Council, 1985.
