John Joseph Merlin (1735-1803), a rare and fine miniature steelyard, c.1780, with 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 John Joseph Merlin, born Liege 1735, came to England 1760-died 1803. He is described in insurance papers in 1793 as "goldsmith, jeweller, watchmaker, harpsichord and musical instrument maker and general mechanic." He achieved 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 atoms, along with the instrument and wounding himself most severely. He produced numerous novelties, mechanical dolls and entertaining items, an invalid chair, a personal weighing machine, a roasting jack, and a watch for John Constable. Dr Johnson notes in his diary for 28 March 1782 'Merlin's steelyard given me'. His silver swan automaton is in Bowes Museum. In Kenwood House is his portrait painted by Gainsborough in 1781, coin steelyard in hand. Most of the stock from Merlin's Mechanical Museum was sold to Thomas Weeks in 1804 for his newly opened museum in Tichborne St. His Will survives. John Joseph Merlin, The Ingenious Mechanick, published by Greater London Council 1982, a copy of which accompanies this lot.

Blue and White Table Top Snuff Bottle, 19th Century Of rouleau-form with gently sloping shoulders and base, finely painted with a continuous scene of warriors on horseback approaching the gates of the western city, height 4.9" — 12.5 cm. Provenance: Chinese Porcelain, Works of Art and Snuff Bottles from a Notable North York Collection (lots 163-190) Purchased in Geneva, London and Toronto during the 1960’s. Note: The illustrated scene represents a fictional event from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms involving one of the most revered strategists of the time, chancellor of the Shu Han state, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, leader of the Wei army from the rival state Cao Wei. During the first Northern Expansion, Zhuge Liang’s unsuccessful efforts to invade Chang’an left him vulnerable to attack by advancing armies. However, using reverse psychology and the “empty fort strategy,” one of 32 stratagems outlined in an early essay on politics, war, and civil interaction, Zhuge Liang was able to thwart the Wei army’s attempts. In the scene depicted on the snuff bottle, Zhuge Liang is prominently seated atop the open gates of the western city playing the guqin as the Wei army, led by Sima Yi approaches. Creating the illusion that Zhuge Liang was calm and prepared to fight, the seemingly brazen invitation to battle triggered fears of ambush and Sima Yi, along with the whole Wei army retreated. Although fictionalized, this story is one of the best-known literary examples demonstrating the “empty fort strategy”. Starting Price: $500
