Lot 171
A fine and rare George III mahogany free-standing mercury pillar barometer. Nairne and Blunt, London, late 18th century, The arched silvered scale fitted to a rotating brass table to allow rotation around the large bore mercury tube, with rack and pinion adjusted vernier and pivoted mirror behind to allow accurate observation of the level beneath signature NAIRNE & BLUNT, LONDON to arch, the fluted column upright with flared capital and moulded base with lift-off front section secured by a clasp formed as a dummy keyhole to reveal interior with mercury tube of smaller diameter packed by cotton wadding, the two stage plinth incorporating up-sliding cover for the sealed boxwood cistern above moulding to waist and double skirt to base, 167cm (67.75ins) high overall. The collaboration between Edward Nairne and his former apprentice Thomas Blunt is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as established in 1774 and lasting until 1793. Edward Nairne was born in 1726 and apprenticed to the celebrated instrument maker, Matthew Loft, in 1741. Latterly he worked from 20 Cornhill and published numerous booklets on navigational, pneumatic and astronomical instruments. In 1776 Nairne devised a marine barometer with a restriction to the bore of the mercury tube which served to dampen the oscillation of the mercury, he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1776 and died 1806. Thomas Blunt was apprenticed to Edward Nairne in 1760 with whom he formed a loose partnership in 1774, perhaps for mutual convenience as his premises were next door to Nairne`s at 22 Cornhill. Blunt designed some of the components for the `New Barometer` devised by the Portuguese Scientist J.H. Magellan for measuring altitude, and latterly became instrument maker to George III. In 1793 he took his son, also named Thomas, into partnership and subsequently relocated to 136 Minories in 1814, he died in 1822. The current lot is highly unusual as it takes the form of a free-standing pedestal designed to be fixed to the floor with a scale that can be rotated for viewing from any angle, the mirror attached to the rear of the scale enables the level to be sighted precisely. The non-portable and accurate nature of the instrument coupled with a finely executed case suggests that it was probably commissioned for a wealthy patron perhaps for use in a private laboratory.
Lot 172

With broken triangular pediment above recessed silvered vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches, with the usual observations and signed Dollond, London near the upper margin behind hinged glazed brass door, the waisted caddy moulded trunk inset with a large Fahrenheit scale mercury thermometer behind a conforming brass framed door, the rounded base with moulded circular cistern cover and vernier adjustment screw to base, 102cm (40ins) high. Peter Dollond is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1680-1860 as born 1730 and died 1820. He was the son of John Dollond, a Huguenot silk weaver and started business as an optician in 1750. He was joined by his father in 1752 until his death in 1761, and then by his brother, John, until his death in 1804. The family business was continued by Peter Dollond`s nephew, George Huggins, who changed his name to Dollond. George Dollond became instrument maker to William IV and Queen Victoria, exhibited at the Great Exhibition in 1851 and died 1856.

COCKEY, WARMINSTER to lower edge, the angles applied with fine urn-centred scroll cast gilt spandrels beneath arch with a central rotating foliate engraved disc with circular aperture to reveal a lunar disc representation of the age of the moon and blued steel pointer for the fixed silvered outer scale calibrated for the lunar month and flanked by dolphin and foliate cast gilt mounts, the case with wide break-arch pediment fronted by a deep foliate scroll pierced blind fret frieze above three-quarter columns attached to the gilt foliate spray decorated hood door, the trunk with rectangular door decorated in raised polychrome and gilt with pagodas and figures within an oriental landscape bordered by further gilt foliate scroll borders, the conforming plinth base adorned with Ho-Ho birds and foliage to front and with moulded double skirt, 229cm (90ins) high. Provenance: The property of a private collector. Born in 1669, Edward Cockey senior was the son of Lewis Cockey (a bellfounder and clockmaker working in Warminster) from whom it is believed that he subsequently learned the trade. Edward was clearly a talented and well-connected clockmaker who in 1707 made an extremely complicated astronomical clock for lord Weymouth for the Great Hall at Longleat. Weymouth is thought to have subsequently commissioned Cockey to make another example as a gift to Queen Anne for her drawing room at St. James`s Palace (now in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich). Edward Cockey junior was born in 1701 and, although initially thought to have followed in his father`s footsteps, apparently chose to become a wine merchant instead. There is a record of the death of an Edward Cockey clockmaker in 1768 (which probably relates to Edward junior). The dial of the current lot, with decorated centre and lunar calendar to arch, coupled with the finely proportioned case (which has survived with the original finish intact) exhibits Edward Cockey`s individual and innovative approach to both function and aesthetic quality.
Lot 258
An extremely rare Charles II travelling timepiece with silent-pull repeat, alarm and calendar. Robert Seignior, London circa 1685, the pierced silver case of later date. The 4 inch diameter circular movement with five finned and knopped pillars secured with blued steel latches to the tulip and foliate trail engraved gilded backplate applied with a scroll pierced and engraved balance cock, double-headed alarm hammer and central bell, the going train with chain fusee and verge escapement regulated by a sprung three-arm flat rimmed steel balance, the silent-pull repeat powered via a standing barrel mounted on the inside of the backplate and now sounding the hours only on the bell mounted to the rear of the movement, the alarm with further standing barrel mounted on the frontplate and crown wheel for the dumb bell type hammer sounding on the same bell, the 4.5 inch circular gilt brass dial with recessed silvered alarm disc, ringed winding hole and calendar aperture to the matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with quarter hour inner track, stylised fleur-de-lys half hour markers, Arabic five minutes within the narrow outer track and signed Rob.t Seignior, Londini Fecit to lower edge, with pieced blued steel hands and herringbone engraved outer border, now in a silver case of later date finely pierced and chased with panels in the Renaissance style with scrolling acanthus incorporating figural terms and grotesque masks, putti and squirrels divided by repeating borders including a pair of profile portrait medallions, the hinged front cover with convex glass within foliate cast bezel, opposing hinged rear cover relief decorated with a bathing scene with an old man attended by semi-clad female figures within elaborated pierced double border, the top fitted with a ball pivoted cast suspension ring, (repeat work formerly sounding the quarters on a second bell), diameter 13cm (5ins) overall depth 10cm (4ins). Robert Seignio(u)r is recorded in Loomes, Brian The Early CLOCKMAKERS of Great Britain as apprenticed to John Nicasius gaining his Freedom of the Clockmakers` Company in 1667. He worked in Exchange Alley and was often at loggerheads with the Clockmakers` Company. In August 1674 he was appointed the King`s Clock and Watchmaker `without fee` until the death or surrender of office by Edward East, presumably to ensure succession of the role in the event of East`s demise. This appointment was never formally fulfilled as East outlived Seignior who died in 1687. The current lot is a particularly rare model as it is neither a table clock suitably adapted and scaled for travelling purposes, or a large clock-watch as the scale of the movement and details in construction and design are more akin to clockmaking practice rather than watchmaking. The design and layout of the repeat work closely resembles the earliest silent pull mechanisms first used by leading makers such as Joseph Knibb (See Allix, Charles and Harvey, Lawrence Hobson`s Choice pages 36-41 for closely related table clock repeat work). The engraved decoration to the backplate is again closely related to designs found on contemporary table clocks by the leading makers and can be directly compared to an example by Seignior dated to around 1680 illustrated in Dawson, Percy G., Drover, C.B. and Parkes, D.W. Early English Clocks Plate 512 (page 359). The design of repeat work, style of movement pillar, backcock, engraving and other features such as the distinctive `S` scroll shaped cocks for both the alarm going train crown wheel lower pivots identify the movement and dial of the current lot as unmistakenly English. However two similar travelling timepieces by the Hague maker Johannes Van Ceulen are known. The first example is illustrated in Bruton, Eric THE HISTORY OF CLOCKS AND WATCHES page 173, this appears to be an alarm timepiece only and is housed in a plain drum shaped case with a foliate pierced band towards the rear to allow the alarm to be heard. The case may give an impression of how the original for the current lot may have appeared (the present fine purpose-made elaborately chased and pierced silver case is probably Continental and of later date). The second example is illustrated in Bertele, Hans von MARINE & POCKET CHRONOMETERS and is described as a `ship`s cabin clock`. This second example is generally a more complex model as it appears to strike, have a calendar dial as well as an alarm, and is housed in a more elaborate silver case with pierced decoration to rear cover. The original client for the current lot must have been an extremely wealthy individual to be able to afford the luxury of such a fine timepiece exclusively for travelling purposes. Furthermore a subsequent owner must have also valued it highly enough to commission such a fine purpose-made silver case to be supplied to house the movement and dial.
