A RARE POCKET BAROGRAPH IN ORIGINAL MAHOGANY CASEJULES RICHARD, PARIS, FOR RETAIL BY LUTZ AND SHULTZ FLORIDA AND BUENES AIRES, CIRCA 1910The nickel plated mechanism with timepiece movement set to the upper right incorporating platform cylinder escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, driving via system of gears the upper of two rollers positioned beneath the movement to rotate a looped twelve-hour paper scale calibrated for altitude in feet 0-5000 and with further reverse scale annotated 42-76 spanning the same arc, the upper left with aneroid barometer mechanism incorporating twin vacuum capsules operating via a system of hinged levers a radially-pivoted recording pointer tensioned via a coil spring positioned beneath the primary rocking arm, the mechanism set beneath a nickel-plated cover with slider for setting the elevation of the recording arm labelled A, 1, B and shuttered aperture for escapement regulation access, over retailer's name LUTZ Y SCHULZ, FLORIDA 171, BUENOS AIRES followed by BREVETE S.G.D.G. oval above JR monogram for Jules Richard to lower margin, contained in a hinged rectangular cast metal case covered in faux tooled black Morocco and with glazed aperture for the chart, in original mahogany box incorporating lidded section containing a good quantity of spare charts, ink bottle and winding key.The instrument 12cm (4.75ins) high, 8.5cm (3.375ins) wide, 3.5cm (1.375ins) deep; the mahogany box 18cm (7ins) wide, 14cm (5ins) deep, 5cm (2ins) high. Jules Richard was born in 1848 and trained under his father before working with other scientific instrument and clock manufacturers. However he later diversified in the manufacturing of telegraph equipment and worked closely with the French scientist E.J. Marey on electrical and photographic recording techniques during the 1870's. Following the death of his father in 1876, Jules inherited the family business and in 1882, he formed a partnership with his brother Max under the name of Richard Freres. This partnership was dissolved in 1891 but the company was maintained with Jules taking sole control of the business until 1921 when it was listed as a public company.Lutz and Schulz were a leading firm of opticians and suppliers of surveying, optical and scientific instruments operating from Florida and Buenes Aires from around 1905. In 1912 they opened a flagship store at Rambla Bristol 117, Florida 240 and operated from Mar Del Plata, Buenos Aires from where they continued well into the 20th century. The fact that the current lot is marked FLORIDA 171 suggests that it pre-dates the opening of the Rambla Bristol store, hence can be confidently dated to between 1905-12. The present instrument belongs to a series produced by Jules Richard with differing ranges and durations to the papers. The nickel cover is stamped C which would appear to be the corresponding model designation for an instrument that has scale range of 0-5,000 feet and records for eight hours. Vavasseur Antiques are currently listing another, almost identical example, however theirs is designated a model 'F' with scale range of 0-7,000 feet and a recording duration of six hours.  

A MAHOGANY CASED BAROGRAPH INCORPORATING BAROMETER DIALNEGRETTI AND ZAMBRA, LONDON, LATE 19th CENTURYThe mechanism with eight segment aneroid chamber within gilt brass armature operating via a system of pivoted levers an inked pointer for recording the change in barometric pressure on the clockwork-driven paper-scale lined rotating drum, the front with open-centred circular silvered register calibrated in barometric inches, with the usual weather observations and signed NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA, LONDON to the lower margin within a brass bezel surround, the case with five panel bevel-glazed cover and ogee moulded base with frieze drawer containing spare charts over squab feet.21cm (8.25ins) high, 37cm (14.5ins) wide, 22.5cm (8.75ins) deep. Provenance:The present lot was almost certainly the property of the second Thomas Sopwith, born to the owner of the previous lot and father to the famous Aviation pioneer of the same name. Thomas Sopwith II followed in his father's footsteps becoming a civil engineer specialising in mining. He became the managing director of the Spanish Lead Mining Company (a British Company created to mine lead in in Linares, Jaen, Spain) in 1864, and died in 1898.  The firm of Negretti & Zambra are recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as being established in 1850 when a partnership between Enrico Negretti and Joseph Warren Zambra was formed. The firm became one of the most prolific makers of scientific instruments and continued trading well into the 20th century.Condition Report: The mechanism is in good original condition and appears fully-operational (responds to change in pressure - has been 'bag tested'). The pointer reading is reasonably accurate and the clockwork mechanism is working. The instrument retains its original lacquered brass finish with only minor spotting/discolouration in places. The case has noticeable sun-bleaching and degradation to the French polish finish hence would benefit from a re-polish by a cabinet maker otherwise is in sound original undamaged condition. The drawer contains a good quantity of spare charts together with an instruction leaflet. Condition Report Disclaimer

He was primarily an engraver of maps, charts and globes who moved again in 1783 to 188 Strand. By 1791 he had entered into what appeared to be a relatively casual partnership with his brother, William; this partnership lasted until circa 1816 by which time William and John Cary had moved again to 181 Strand before finally settling in 86 St. James in 1820. The following year he was succeeded by his sons, John (II) and George Cary, who continued from the firm's 181 Strand address until 1851/2 when the business was acquired by Henry Gould. Cary's 21-inch globes were the largest and most impressive produced during the George III and Regency period.Condition Report: Both globes are in very fine near retail clean condition. The celestial has some very slight filling and touching-in to address some cracking to the equinoctial affecting around a third of the circumference at that point. Otherwise faults are very much limited to a few very small historic scuff repairs and some very localised staining to the joints between some of the gores. The Terrestrial has a small (15 by 5mm) clean puncture just below Australia and a few very light surface scratching to the Southern regions. There is also a small filled scuff and staining adjacent to the bottom pivot. Sphere otherwise is in very fine condition with only or two small filled blemishes and light overall mottling. The brass fittings appear all-original and are in good condition with slightly mellowed lacquer finish. Both stands are in fine condition. The Horizon papers are in clean condition exhibiting only very minor browning. There are some light shrinkage cracking (from movement within the ring beneath) showing through the papers but no apparent losses or infilling. Both compasses are complete; the paper to the terrestrial has tears and rubbing but no losses, the celestial has losses and touching in to the paper, both have noticeable browning hence are now light beige in colour. The frames are in very good clean condition - the celestial has visible plugged fixings to the outer surfaces of the legs corresponding to the cabriole inner supports and compass stretcher; the terrestrial has similar visible plugs but for only for the compass stretcher. Faults are otherwise limited to light shrinkage and minor restorations to the ebony stringing. Condition Report Disclaimer

A MAHOGANY-CASED BRACKET CLOCKTHE MOVEMENT AND DIAL BY E. WHITE, LONDON, LATE 19th/EARLY 20th CENTURYThe four columnar pillar twin chain fusee gong striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum with screw holdfast to the shouldered backplate signed E. WHITE, 20 COCKSPUR ST. LONDON to centre, the 6.5 inch circular convex white painted Roman numeral dial with pierced steel hands, in a case with hinged brass carrying handle to the shallow break-arch top over hinged convex glazed cast brass bezel to front, the sides with arched brass fish scale blind frets beneath applied winged cherub mask spandrel mounts, the rear with rectangular glazed door, on moulded skirt base with brass ogee bracket feet.36cm (14.25ins) high with handle down, 25cm (9.75ins) wide, 18.5cm (7.25ins) deep. Edward White is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of the World: 21st Century Edition as working in Cockspur Street from 1865. He was formerly a foreman with Dent and he is particularly well known for his high-quality carriage clocks. Condition Report: The movement is in good original working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The mechanism is a little dirty/discoloured so a gentle clean/service may be advisable. The dial appears to have been refinished to resemble fired-enamel and is in good condition with visible faults limited to very light edge chipping to the left hand winding hole. The case is probably an early 20th century purpose-made replacement. Evidence for this is slight elongation of the screw holes of the securing brackets suggesting that the the movement and dial were originally fitted to a slightly narrower. The gong coil appears to be a well-matched replacement (post appears original). The case is in good original unrestored condition with faults very much limited to slight shrinkage and minor age related bumps, scuffs and wear.Clock has a pendulum and a winder but no case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

JUN'R. M. INST. C.E., the rear with door behind the clock movement, on stepped ogee moulded skirt base; together with W. Robert Dickinson, oil on canvas, portrait of THOMAS SOPWITH ESQ. M.A. F.R.S. in gilt gesso frame, (2).The weather station 42cm (16.5ins) high, 68.5cm (27ins) wide, 20cm (8ins) deep; the portrait 76cm (30ins) by 66cm (26ins) excluding frame. Please note this barometer is being sold as per condition report. Provenance:The present lot was the property of Thomas Sopwith (1803-79) who trained under his father, Jacob (1770-1829) as a civil engineer completing his apprenticeship in 1824. He initially worked with Richard Grainger in the redevelopment of Newcastle-on-Tyne; and Joseph Dickinson of Alston, Northumberland assisting in the surveying of mines in the area belonging to Greenwich Hospital. His involvement with geological surveying led him to become a fellow of the geological society in 1835. Thomas Sopwith was also engaged as a railway engineer firstly in Newcastle-on-Tyne with Richard Grainger then with Robert Stephenson and Sir William Cubitt assisting with the creation of the French Railway network. He also assisted Stephenson on surveys for the construction of the Sambre-Meuse Line in Belgium in 1843. Two years later, in 1845, Thomas Sopwith was living at Allenheads, Northumberland and was engaged as an agent for W.B. Lead Mines, a position held until 1871.Thomas Sopwith was married three time and had eight children including a son who shared his name and followed in his footsteps to become a civil engineer. His Grandson, also called Thomas, went on to found the Sopwith Aviation Company. James Henry Steward is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as a maker of all types of barometers who worked from several addresses in London including; 406 Strand (1857-1900 and beyond), 67 Strand (1867-8), 63 St. Pauls Churchyard (1867-80), Cornhill (1867-92), 66 Strand (1869-88), 456 Strand (1879-88), 474 West Strand (1886-1900 and beyond) and 7 Gracechurch Street (1893-1900 and beyond). He advertised as maker of the celebrated Lord Bury telescope and maker of the Fitzroy barometers, as in use at all railway termini and principal hotels in London.Condition Report: Clock movement is intact and appears to be complete and in all-original condition, the mechanism is fully wound and the escapement will just about beat however it would appear that the movement is dry/a little gummed-up so requires a gentle clean/service before reliable running is likely to be achieved. The bevel gear take-off to the rotating barograph drum is lacking one of the gears and the one still attached (to a slightly bent arbor protruding from the clock movement backplate) is lacking a couple of teeth. The recording drum and pointed assembly otherwise appears to be in good original undisturbed condition. The barometer also appears undisturbed and is providing a reasonable reading however we are unable to access the internal mechanism as this apparently requires disassembly of the entire instrument/case which appears to have never been apart and is beyond our remit. Regrettably the maximum/minimum thermometer tube is now broken (in an attempt to dismantle the instrument to report on the barometer mechanism); the scale however is in good original condition. The silvering to the barometer and timepiece dials are in good original condition with minimal discolouration as are the lacquered and oxidised finishes of the mechanism and casings. Externally the case is in good original condition with the only major fault being a section of cornice moulding missing from the right hand side. There also some patchy localised degradation to the surface polish.Timepiece has original pendulum and there is a winding key present.The portrait is in good original condition with faults limited to a small scuff to the background at face level and some slight blooming to the varnish in places. The frame has a few small chips/losses to the gesso. Condition Report Disclaimer

HICKS, MAKER, LONDON, the case with five panel bevel-glazed cover and stepped ogee moulded base with rounded angles and frieze drawer containing spare charts. 23.5cm (9.25ins) high, 38cm (15ins) wide, 24cm (9ins) deep. James Joseph Hicks is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working from Hatton Garden, London from 1861 until after 1900. He was a committed Catholic who presented various meteorological instruments to the Vatican receiving the title of Knight Commander of St. Gregory for his services.Condition Report: The mechanism is in good original condition and appears fully-operational. The pointer provides a reasonably accurate reading and the clockwork mechanism is working. The instrument retains its original lacquered brass finish with only minor spotting/discolouration in places. The case has fairly heavy sun-bleaching to the rear otherwise is in sound original undamaged condition. The drawer contains a good quantity of spare charts. Condition Report Disclaimer

A VICTORIAN LACQUERED BRASS PANTOGRAPHADIE, LONDON, CIRCA 1875The pivoted frame with circular dark green silk covered anchor-weight fitted to an adjustable slider against engraved ratio scale to one arm opposing fixed pencil holder to the other, the centre with subsidiary pivoted armature with further adjustable slider against a similar scale for the tracing stylus and signed Adie, London alongside 7393 over M.O.D. arrow device and W.D. to the opposing member, fitted with removable bone wheel castors to each junction/terminal, in original mahogany box with weighted pencil carrier, the inside of the lid with applied paper trade label inscribed ADIE, OPTICIAN, Mathematical & Philosophical, Instrument Maker, 15 Pall Mall, LONDON, FACTORY - 1 BROADWAY, WESTMINSTER S.W. and a later retailer's label W.F. STANLEY & Co. LTD, 286 HIGH HOLBORN, LONDON W.C.1.The box 84cm (33ins) long, 13.25cm (5.25ins) deep, 9cm (3.5ins) high. The Adie family of scientific, mathematical and philosophical instrument makers can be traced back to Alexander Adie who is recorded in Goodison, Nicholas English BAROMETERS 1680-1860 as born in Edinburgh 1774 and apprenticed to his uncle, the eminent Scottish instrument maker John Miller, in 1789. In 1804 his uncle took him into partnership under the name of Miller and Adie which continued until after Miller's death in 1815. Adie was particularly interested in meteorological instruments and is perhaps best known as the inventor of the Sympiesometer in 1818. In recognition of his work he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1819. He was appointed optician to William IV and later Queen Victoria and took one of his sons, John, into partnership in 1835. Two of his other sons set up businesses; Robert in Liverpool and Patrick in London. Unfortunately John Adie was prone to 'fits of despondency' which resulted in him shooting himself in 1857, Alexander Adie died the following year - no doubt expediated by the stress of his son's demise. Patrick Adie worked from several addresses in London notably 385 Strand (1848-68), 15 Pall Mall (1869-1885), 29 Regent Street (1869-70), as well as Tothill Street in 1875. He died in 1886.Condition Report: The frame appears complete, undamaged and retains old lacquer finish. Both scales have significant discolouration and there appears to be no tracing stylus present. The box in in good original condition with minimal age related blemishes; there is no key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

The dial has been restored to a good standard as such the inscription for Thwaites and Reed cannot be relied upon. Other than some very light wear around the winding holes and some light surface dirt the dial is in fine condition. The case is generally in fine original condition with good quality figured veneers. The top is free of noticeable shrinkage cracking. The rear door has a small veneer patch repair to the upper left-hand corner otherwise faults to the case appear very much limited to a few minor bumps and scuffs, light shrinkage and other minimal age related blemishes. Clock has a crank winder and two case keys. Condition Report Disclaimer

A BURR WALNUT QUARTER-CHIMING EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK WITH MOONPHASEALEXANDER GIROUST, LONDON, CIRCA 1720 AND LATERThe five pillar triple train movement with anchor escapement regulated by wood-rod seconds pendulum, chiming the quarters on a graduated nest of eight bells and sounding the hour on a further larger bell, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds dial to the matted centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes to outer track incorporating Strike/Silent and Chime/Silent switches to upper quadrants, with scroll pierced steel hands and female mask centred scroll cast spandrels to angles, beneath arch with rolling moonphase incorporating age of the moon to the circumference of the disc and foliate scroll engraved lunettes beneath herringbone infill and applied silvered plate engraved ALEXANDER GIROUST, LONDON to the upper margin, the break-arch case with generous cavetto cornice and scroll decorated blind fret frieze over unusual bolection moulded hinged glazed dial aperture flanked by free-standing Doric columns with brass caps and bases, the sides with brass fish-scale grille inset break-arch apertures and conforming quarter columns set against bargeboards at the rear, the trunk with caddy moulded break-arch door quarter-veneered ion fine burr walnut within double-line strung and herringbone banded borders, the surround with conforming line inlay and the sides also herringbone banded, the base with concave top moulding and centred with a raised caddy-moulded double-line and herringbone banded rectangular panel to front, the sides with herringbone border, on moulded skirt with squab feet.234cm (92ins) high, 53cm (21ins) wide, 28.5cm (11.25ins) deep. Alexander Giroust is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as working in London 1728-39. 

A GEORGE III BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY BRACKET CLOCK THE DIAL BEARING INSCRIPTION FOR RIGBY, LONDON, CIRCA 1800The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement now with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the backplate with bright-cut geometric border-engraved decoration, the 7 inch circular cream painted Roman numeral dial now inscribed Rigby, CHARING CROSS, LONDON, beneath 1801 to centre and with delicate pierced steel hands, the break-arch case with hinged brass carrying handle to the brass-fillet moulded single pad top panel over complex moulded cornice, the hinged front panel fitted with convex glazed stepped-ogee cast brass bezel over brass fish scale lower quadrant frets flanked by brass edged front angles, the sides with conforming arched brass frets and the rear with break-arch door set within the frame of the case, on cavetto moulded skirt base with brass ogee bracket feet.40.5cm (16ins) high with handle down, 28cm (11ins) wide, 19cm (7.5ins) deep.Condition Report: Evidence in the plates (a small group of vacant haoles) indicates that the movement was originally made with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum. The conversion to anchor escapement appears to have been executed early in the clocks life with minimal alteration to the plates hence could be re-converted back to verge leaving little evidence of the present escapement if desired. The bell stand has been repaired and there is a spere hole to eh left hand margin of the backplate left over from the holdfast hook for the verge bob pendulum. The movement otherwise appears to be in sound working condition however it is a little dirty/neglected hence a gentle clean service is advised. The dial has been refinished hence we cannot rely on the inscribed name (Rigby) being the maker of the clock; the finish exhibits light wear and scratching mainly around/near the winding holes. The hands are of nice quality and appear free of faults.The case is in good original unrestored condition. The veneer to the arch top is in fine condition with minimal shrinkage, the veneer capping the pad has slight wear to one corner. The front door has a filled key escutcheon and the carcass has filled recess from a lock being previously fitted; the door is now secured via a tongue engaging with a lock positioned to the left hand side of the case (with key-hole cut just in front of the sound fret). The right-hand side has a filled hole almost certainly for a trip=repat cord which is no longer in use. The rear door has some chipping and a patch repair to the veneer edge overlap and the lock is a little loose. The brass mounts (handle, mouldings, frets, bezel and feet) are fairly heavily tarnished/discoloured; case otherwise in very sound original condition with relatively few age-related faults and is of good colour.Clock has a pendulum, winder and a case key.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY BRACKET CLOCK WITH TRIP-HOUR REPEATPERIGAL AND DUTERRAU, LONDON, CIRCA 1800The five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum and signed Perigal & Duterrau, London within an elliptical reserve to the wheat ear border engraved backplate, the 7 inch circular cream painted convex Roman numeral dial with pierced brass hands, the break-arch case with hinged brass carrying handle applied to a curved brass fillet-edged pad and complex upper mouldings, over opening front fitted with circular convex-glazed ogee moulded cast brass bezel to the dial aperture and with brass fish scale sound frets to lower quadrants, the sides with conforming arched brass sound frets and the rear with arch glazed door set within the frame of the case, on cavetto moulded skirt base with brass ogee bracket feet.33cm (13ins) high with handle down, 28cm (11ins) wide, 19,5cm (7.75ins) deep. The partnership between John Perigal (from the celebrated family dynasty of clockmakers founded in the 1720's by Claude Perigal) and John Duterrau was formed prior to 1799 as they were granted a Royal warrant as a 'Watchmaker in Ordinary' to George III on the 20th February of that year. The partnership is subsequently noted as working from 57 New Bond Street, London 1802-05 and then from 62 New Bond Street 1810-40.

A RARE CHARLES II MINIATURE WEIGHT-DRIVEN CLOCK MOVEMENT AND DIALTHOMAS WAYLAND, FROME, CIRCA 1680The two train thirty-hour countwheel bell striking single-handed movement with plates measuring 3.875 by 3 inches united by four bold baluster-turned pillars pinned at the rear, the going train with verge escapement regulated by a short bob pendulum and the strike train with reversed greatwheel to save space, the 5 inch square brass dial with calendar aperture and signed in stylised scrolling script Thomas Wayland, Froome fecit to the upper part of the dial centre over stylised tulip blooms issuing from a leafy bud beneath, within applied narrow Roman numeral chapter ring with cruciform half hour markers, with steel arrow hand and concentric coursed 'brickwork' engraved decoration to spandrel areas.14cm (5.5ins) high, 12.5cm (5ins) wide, 7.5cm (3ins) deep. Brian Loomes in Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 refers to the present movement and dial suggesting that it was made in around 1675. Other than this reference to the current lot there appears to be no other record of Thomas Wayland of Frome. The current lot can be best described as somewhat 'jewel-like' in its scale and quality. The trains are well laid-out with the great-wheel of the strike train reversed to allow the plates to be made as small as possible; the pillars are also formed as boldly-turned balusters and pinned at the rear reminiscent of Edward East. The dial engraving is unusual and particularly pleasing. The radial brickwork design to the spandrel areas mirrors that seen on a lantern clock dating to around 1650 attributed to Thomas Browne of Bristol illustrated in Loomes, Brian LANTERN CLOCKS & Their Makers on page 177 (Figure 10.37); whilst the symmetrical naturalistically rendered tulip sprays are more akin to those decorating a lantern clock dating to around 1670 by Lawrence Debnam of Frome also illustrated by Loomes on page 186 (Figure 11.1).Finally it is tantalising to theorise on the type of case that would have originally housed the present movement and dial. Two options would appear most logical. The first would be a hooded wall case, the second a particularly slender longcase perhaps similar to that housing a clock by Anthony Blackford of Warwick which was sold at Bonhams London sale of Fine Clocks 11th December 2007 (lot 167) for £110,400.Condition Report: The movement appears to retain all of its original wheelwork between the plates including the contrate and escapewheel. Both the going and strike trains will 'run' when motive power is manually applied. Pinion wear appears minimal except to the fly pinion where noticeable wear is visible. The plates are thin and have historic re-bushing and minor punching to the pivot holes. The pallets and backcock and pendulum are probably not original. The top edge of the front plate has two screws inserted into threaded holes - the purpose of these is unknown but is not considered to be indicative of alteration.The hand arbor is a recent replacement (original is included with the lot) as is the strike release detent arm. The hour wheel, star wheel and calendar drive pinion assembly are also of recent making as is the calendar pin-wheel screwed to the rear of the dial. A calendar ring is present and again is most likely of recent manufacture. The calendar rings outer diameter is presently too large hence it will not fit between the four dial feet; the outer edge needs 'turning down' before it will fit however the spacing of the numbers etc appears to indicate that once this has been done the ring can be fitted.The dial is in good original condition retaining old thick gilding to the plate. The calendar aperture has been part-filled to allow shaping of the aperture to match positioning of the numerals engraved on the disc present with the lot. The chapter ring has traces of old silvering - the feet are unusual in that they are long and double-drilled so that they also serve and the dial feet. The hand present with the movement is not original.The present lot generally survives in good original condition with stalled restoration mainly limited to the under dial/calendar work; the restoration has not been completed due to the previous owner passing away.There are no weights included in the present lot. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FRENCH GILT AND CLOISONNE ENAMEL CARRIAGE TIMEPIECE AND BAROMETER WITH COMPASS AND THERMOMETERTHE TIMEPIECE BY DUVERDRY AND BLOQUEL, CIRCA 1890The eight-day single train movement with replaced gilt platform lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance and stamped with the 'lion' trademark for Duverdry and Bloquel to backplate, the circular blue on cream Arabic numeral dial with vertically orientated numerals and blued steel hands set within a rectangular polychrome cloisonne enamelled mask decorated with scrollwork on a powder blue ground, the aneroid barometer mechanism set beside the timepiece constructed with vacuum chamber and rack motionwork within plates united by four pillars matching those of the timepiece, the circular blue on cream register calibrated in millimetres of mercury and with weather observations in French, with blued steel pointer and set within an enamel mask matching that of the timepiece, the bevel-glazed frosted gilt brass case with reeded T-shaped carrying handle over convex glazed circular escapement aperture opposing a conforming silvered brass compass with eight points annotated in French, the angles with button finials over projecting reeded columns to angles joined by bands of blue ground enamel scrollwork to frieze and apron, the centre with silvered mercury tube CENTIGRADE thermometer set between conforming subsidiary pilasters to front, the sides with glazed panels and the rear with conforming twin doors with blind panel between, on turned feet applied to the projecting angles.16cm (6.25ins) high, 16.5cm (6.5ins) wide, 7cm (2.75ins) deep. The clockmaking factory of Duverdry and Bloquel is noted by Leigh Extence as originally founded by Albert Villon in the town of Saint-Nicolas-d'Aliermont in 1867. Paul Duverdry joined the firm as a director in 1887 followed by Joseph Bloquel in 1910.Condition Report: Timepiece movement is in relatively clean working condition and appears all original except for the platform escapement which is a modern replacement. The barometer mechanism is also in relatively clean working condition (has been 'bag tested' and response to change in pressure observed). The enamel disc of the timepiece dial has a light vertical hairline crack travelling from the centre up through the 12 numeral otherwise both dials are free from visible faults. The case is in fine condition with no visible damage to the enamel or noticeable chips to the glasses. The thermometer is intact and working with only some slight mellowing to the silvered scale. The gilding is in fine condition exhibiting minimal wear/discolouration.Timepiece has a winding key.   Condition Report Disclaimer

AN EARLY VICTORIAN TWELVE-INCH TERRESTRIAL FLOOR-STANDING LIBRARY GLOBEPUBLISHED BY S.S. EDKINS SUCCESSORS TO T.W. BARDIN, SOLD BY J. SOUTER, LONDON, CIRCA 1837The sphere applied with two sets of twelve hand-coloured engraved gores and polar calottes incorporating circular panel inscribed THE, NEW TWELVE-INCH, BRITISH, Terrestrial Globe, REPRESENTING THE, ACCURATE POSITION OF THE PRINCIPAL, KNOWN PLACES OF THE EARTH., FROM THE DISCOVERIES OF, CAPTAIN COOK, AND SUBSEQUENT CIRCUMNAVIGATORS, TO THE PRESENT PERIOD, 1837 over applied curved label J. Souter, School Library, 151 Fleet St. London to North Pacific, with extensively annotated and fully graduated equatorial and the Pacific ocean with THE ANALEMMA for the equation of time, the oceans with many explorers' tracks and numerous notes and dates, Antarctica with no land shown except for Enderby's Land dated 1833, the continents with nation states faintly colour-outlined, showing cities, towns, rivers, mountains in pictorial relief, pivoted via the polar axis within brass meridian circle divided for degrees and with brass hour circle to North pole, set within hand coloured engraved paper horizon ring with compass points and degrees in both directions, Zodiac, calendar scales and wind directions, in a stand with four down-curved quadrant supports cradling the globe over vase-turned upright and three outswept supports united by glazed compass stretcher inset with paper printed with elaborate thirty-two point rose within outer scale divided for degrees, terminating with ball feet.88cm (30.5ins) high, 43cm (17ins) diameter overall. The present globe is a known edition by S.S. Edkins (successors to T.W. Bardin). The lower margin of the roundel is applied with Souter's address over the original printed text 'Manufactured by S.S. Edkins Son in Law and Successor to the late T. M. Bardin Salisbury Square London'. William Bardin (1783-98) was a freeman of the Leatherseller's Company who starting making globes in around 1780. His first globes were 9 and 12 inch diameter published in collaboration with Gabriel Wright on 1st January 1782. Wright was a mathematical instrument maker who had previously worked for Benjamin Martin who, in turn, had acquired the plates of Senex's celebrated globes from James Ferguson. William's son, Thomas Marriott, is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as a globe maker apprenticed to his father, in 1783 with whom he went into partnership in 1790. Bardin and Son initially worked from 4 Hind Court, Fleet Street, London before moving to 16 Salisbury Square in 1975. William Bardin died in 1795 leaving the business in the hands of Thomas Marriott. The firm was taken-on by Thomas's daughter, Elizabeth Marriott, after his death in 1820 and then by her husband, S.S. Edkins. on their marriage in 1832. They took a son into partnership in 1848 and the business continued until shortly after S.S. Edkins's death in 1853. J. Souter appears not to be recorded in the usual sources however online sources suggest that they were specialist publishers and retailers of books and maps for educational purposes and were established before 1820.Condition Report: The glove is generally in good original condition with no visible cracks or noticeable losses/infilling to the gores. The gores have noticeable opening between the sections with some noticeable related staining to the edges. Otherwise notable faults are essentially limited to some historic mottling, greying/blooming to the upper surfaces. The current varnish appears relatively recently applied and is quite 'shiny'. Although the standi is contemporary to the globe we cannot offer any assurances that it is original to the globe. The meridian papers are quite light in colour but in sound condition with minor wear and some visible shrinkage to the ring beneath visible through the papers. There is no brass mount for the meridian ring (just a raised slot in the top of the columns) and one foot has a small spliced repair to the tip. The compass appears in good condition although the paper has probably been 'washed'.Please note additional images are available which form an integral part of the condition report. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III EBONISED TABLE CLOCK WITH TRIP-HOUR REPEATTHOMAS EARNSHAW WITH MOVEMENT SUPPLIED BY A. AND I. THWAITES, LONDON, LATE 18th CENTURYThe five pillar twin fusee bell striking movement now with anchor escapement regulated by lenticular bob pendulum, the geometric border engraved backplate with pendulum holdfast and signed Tho's Earnshaw, London to centre, the frontplate stamped A & I, THWAITES, 650 to lower edge, the 7 inch brass break-arch dial with calendar aperture and signed Tho's Earnshaw, LONDON to the silvered centre within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with Arabic five minutes to outer track, with delicate pierced steel hands and foliate scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath arch centred with a STRIKE/SILENT selection dial flanked by conforming mounts, the break-arch case with hinged brass carrying handle to the ogee above cavetto moulded top over hinged front with brass fillet inset glazed dial aperture, the sides with rectangular brass fish scale sound frets and the rear with break-arch door set within the frame of the case, on stepped ogee moulded skirt base with brass bracket feet.38cm (15ins) high with handle down, 28cm (11ins) wide, 19cm (7.5ins) deep. Thomas Earnshaw was an important maker with regards to the development of the marine chronometer. He is recorded in Betts, Jonathan MARINE CHRONOMETERS AT GREENWICH, A Catalogue of Marine Chronometers at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich as born in Ashton-Under-Lyne, Lancashire in 1749 and is thought to have been apprenticed to William Hughes of High Holborn in around 1763-70. He married Lydia Theakston at St. James's Church Piccadilly in 1769 and by 1774 the had three sons - Manasseh William (b. 1770), James (b. 1771) and Thomas (b.1774). The financial pressure of having such large family early in his career proved unsustainable causing Earnshaw to abscond to Dublin in 1774 before returning to surrender himself to the debtors prison. Earnshaw however managed to come to terms with his debtors and was soon back in business.Thomas Earnshaw proved to be a very talented maker in particular with regards to watch finishing. Indeed he taught himself the highly specialised trades of watch jewelling and ruby-cylinder making and by 1780 he had turned his attention to chronometer making. He is generally credited with the improvement of the detent escapement through the introduction of a blade-spring (replacing a less effective pivoted arrangement). Earnshaw was introduced to the Astronomer Royal, Neville Maskelyne for whom he made a fine regulator for the Armagh observatory in 1789 and, in 1792, he acquired his former master's premises in High Holborn from where he set-about producing chronometers. By 1795 he had refined his designs for pocket and marine chronometers allowing him to start to see the prosperity of his perseverance.In 1806 the Board of Longitude awarded Earnshaw with £3,000 in recognition for his work, however his nose was put out of joint by John Roger Arnold (son of Earnshaw's contemporary rival John Arnold) receiving the same sum. By this time his son, Thomas Junior, was partly running the business allowing him to semi-retire to a comfortable villa in Greenford. In 1815 Thomas Earnshaw still had an involvement with the business however by 1820 he had pretty much retired leaving the workshops in the hands of his son who continued there until 1854. Thomas Earnshaw died in 1829. Ainsworth Thwaites was apprenticed in 1735 and worked from Rosoman Row, Clerkenwell, London 1751-80. He was an accomplished maker who supplied the clock for the tower at the Horse Guards Parade. His son, John, was born in 1757 and took over the business presumably on the death of Ainsworth in 1780 before moving to Bowling Green Lane. He entered into partnership with Jeremiah Reed in 1808 and he firm subsequently became well known for supplying all forms of clocks and movements either wholesale for others to retail or signed by themselves. The partnership continued under John Thwaite's leadership from several addresses in London until his death in 1842. The business has subsequently passed through a series of successors and is still trading today from Rottingdean near Brighton.Ronald E. Rose in his book English DIAL CLOCKS provides data allowing clocks by Thwaites to be dated from their serial number (Appendix III page 239); from this list the serial number of the movement of the current lot suggests that it was made around 1773-74. However, the style of engraving and overall design/form of the clock would suggest a date of around 1795-1805. From this it is perhaps appropriate to suggest the movement was probably held 'in stock' by either Thwaites or Earnshaw before being used for the present clock.Condition Report: Evidence (in the form of a series of filled holes) indicates that the present movement was originally made with verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum. The conversion to anchor escapement has been executed very well and probably early in the clocks life with minimal alteration to the plates. The present pendulum holdfast unfortunately obscures the signature; there is also a spare threaded hole to the right hand edge of the backplate indicating the position of the original verge pendulum holdfast hook. The movement otherwise is in good relatively clean original working condition although is probably due for a gentle service. The dial has overall light wear and discolouration to the silvering otherwise is in good original condition. The minute hand has an old repair. The case is in sound original condition with notable faults limited to front-to-back shrinkage cracking to the arch-top of the case and a slight warp to the front door causing the top to project forwards slightly. The front and rear doors retain their original locks and hinges; the base of the case has been scooped-out slightly to allow for the present lenticular bob pendulum. The metal mounts (handle, mouldings, frets and feet are fairly heavily tarnished/discoloured, otherwise faults to the case are very much limited to relatively minor bumps, scuffs, scratches, minor shrinkage and other age-related blemishes.Clock has pendulum, winding key and a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer

A REGENCY INLAID MAHOGANY BRACKET CLOCKBARWISE, LONDON, CIRCA 1825The five pillar twin fusee bell-striking movement with anchor escapement regulated by half-seconds lenticular bob pendulum and shouldered backplate signed Barwise, LONDON to centre, the 7 inch circular silvered brass Roman numeral dial with repeat signature Barwise, LONDON to centre and spade hands set behind hinged convex glazed cast brass reeded bezel, the arched case with hinged brass carrying handle over foliate motif centred shaped line decorated panel beneath dial, the sides with rectangular brass fish scale sound frets, the rear with arch glazed door, on ogee moulded skirt base fitted with brass ball feet.39.5cm (15.5ins) high with handle down, 24cm (9.5ins) wide, 16.5cm (6.5ins) deep.The life of John Barwise and his family are outlined by A.D. Stewart in his article Barwise & Sons: Watchmakers to the King. A brief history of family and firm published in the March 2014 issue of ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY (Vol IIIV No. 1 pages 621-34). Stewart notes that John Barwise was born into a clockmaking family in Cockermouth, Cumberland in around 1756. By 1780 he had moved to London where he opened a watch retailing business. Ten years later he married Elizabeth Weston with his address being recorded as 29 St. Martin's Lane where he remained until his death in 1820. Of their eleven children two (possibly three) died in infancy and two, John II (born 1795) and Weston (born 1793), subsequently joined their father in the family business. In 1800, such was his success, John Barwise I purchased a second house in Dulwich.In 1805 John Barwise I was one of the fifteen watchmakers appointed by The Board of Longitude to adjudicate in the dispute between John Arnold and Thomas Earnshaw regarding 'the respective merits of their chronometers'. On the 14th February 1811 Barwise was the victim of five highwayman who relieved him of a 'gold watch, greatcoat, and a guinea-and-a-half in cash' whilst en-route from Camberwell to Dulwich. This unfortunate occurrence may well have tempered Barwise's enthusiasm for his house in Dulwich as records indicate it was rented out to tenants by 1813. In around 1816 his sons, John II (who had just turned 21) and Weston, joined him in partnership with the business then becoming 'Barwise & Sons'. Shortly afterwards (probably in 1820) the firm obtained the Royal Warrant as watchmakers to King George IV.John Barwise senior died in 1820; by this time he was a wealthy man leaving two properties and substantial investments to his widow and children. The business was continued by Weston and John II in partnership, however this only lasted six years as Weston died in 1826 leaving the business in the hands of John II alone. It was at this time that John II married and moved from the family home at St. Martin's Lane to nearby 42 Craven Street; and then in 1840 to a spacious residence called East Lodge, near Acton which at that time was in open countryside. At around the same time John Barwise II entered into an alliance with the highly inventive Scottish Clockmaker Alexander Bain who was in the process of developing the first electric timepiece. Barwise and Bain subsequently filed a patent (No. 8743) for an 'Electro-Magnetic Clock' which was granted in January 1841; an example of which was then subsequently exhibited at the Royal Polytechnic Institution shortly afterwards.In 1842 John Barwise II was approached by Pierre Frederic Ingold (1787-1878) to assist in the creation of a watch factory which, by employing newly invented machinery, would be able to mass produce high quality watches at a much smaller cost than the prevalent hand-built movements available at the time. Barwise, along with Thomas Earnshaw junior, subsequently became managing directors of the newly established 'British Watch and Clockmaking Company'. The factory was established at 75 Dean Street but only lasted two years before closing due to financial difficulties mostly brought-about by poor reputation fuelled by pressure from rival watch component makers to whose livelihoods the factory posed a great risk. It would appear that John Barwise II had invested most of his personal wealth in the venture as he was declared bankrupt in 1846. With this he lost his house, East Lodge near Acton, but still managed to keep the business afloat - perhaps mainly due to the generosity of his father-in-law, Charles Baumer, who provided the family with a house at 7 Queen's Row, Camberwell rent free presumably until Barwise was back on his feet.In 1853 another former business Barwise partner the Calcutta retail Jeweller Robert John Lattey returned to London and became founder and auditor of the 'London & Eastern Banking Corporation'. With the resources of the Bank behind him Lattey (trading as Lattey and Company) took-on Barwise's debt and became owner of the business. It was at this point that John Barwise II stepped back from the firm with the overall management passing to the to the Swiss watchmaker, Jules Rochat who had joined the business in 1847. Unfortunately the situation did not improve under Rochat's tenureship as it subsequently transpired that the funds used to purchase the business were illicitly acquired, and in 1857 the London & Eastern Banking Corporation collapsed. After the 1857 liquidation of Lattey and Company the firm was acquired by the jeweller and Goldsmith Douglas Guillaume Cave and continued, again under Jules Rochat's management, until 1869 when bankruptcy again forced the company to change hands. The firm was subsequently continued under the Barwise name in the hands of several different owners up until 1988 with their last known address being 153 Fenchurch Street. Of John Barwise II, he is recorded in the 1861 census as being a 'chronometer maker out of business' and presumably still resided at 7 Queen's Row, Camberwell until his death in 1869.Condition Report: The movement appears to be in good original condition with no visible alterations or noticeable replacements. The pendulum holdfast bracket is no longer present. The dial has slight overall mellowing and a few small patches of discolouration to the silvering otherwise is in good overall condition. The case is in sound original condition with notable faults limited to a veneer patch repair around the bezel keyhole to the left-hand side, there is also a spare hole just above the fret to the left hand side -this is left-over from the bezel clasp being re-positioned. The arched top veneer has only two small light shrinkage cracks and there is some slight movement in the panel beneath the dial (but no cracks or losses to the inlay). The brass fittings are somewhat tarnished/discoloured. Faults to the case are otherwise limited to minor bumps, bruises and other age related blemishes.Clock does not have a winder or a case key. Condition Report Disclaimer
