A fine and rare William IV mahogany cistern tube angle barometer in the manner of John Whitehurst of Derby Birchall, dated 1835 With square section finial to the cavetto moulded and gadrooned pediment above angled silvered glazed scale calibrated from 28 to 31 inches and divided into twentieths (0-300 over the length of the scale) with MUCH RAIN, Rain, Change, Fair, SET FAIR predictions and signed Birchall and dated 1835 to lower edge, the tube with brass setting pointer adjusted by turning the knurled brass finial at the end of the ogee shaped caddy terminal of the angled arm, the kingwood crossbanded and cockbeaded trunk with concealed tube and crossbanded borders to the figured veneers, the shaped base with half cylinder turned cistern cover with ring turned girdle and finials to top and bottom, 93cm (3ft 0.5ins) high. Banfield does not record a maker with the name Birchall working around this time however a M. Birchall is recorded in Baillie G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in Derby circa 1770-90. The current lot can be very closely compared to examples made by John Whitehurst of Derby during the latter half of the 18th century (for an example see Goodison, Nicholas English BAROMETERS 1680-1860 2nd ed. page 282). This suggests that this instrument was either made by a subsequent member of the Whitehurst family to be retailed by Birchall or is an accurately detailed version made by Birchall himself.

The current lot belongs to a rare group of table clocks which employ an unusual form of quarter repeat mechanism powered directly from the strike train (rather from a separate spring wound by pulling the repeat cord) which are discussed in Dawson, Percy G., Drover, C.B. and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks Pages 392-98, a very similar table clock by Colston is illustrated in Plates 564 (dial detail) and 663. The advantage of this layout is that it has freed-up enough space between the plates to allow for the provision of an alarm mechanism.

He specialised and experimented with musical mechanisms and is perhaps now best known for his organ clocks.
