A VERY RARE SILVER BOX AND COVER DEPICTING THE BLACK TORTOISE, XUANWU, TANG DYNASTYChina, 618-907. Both sides of the flat circular box are finely chased, the cover neatly embossed to the center with a tortoise entwined with a snake, their heads confronted, the serpent's scales and tortoise's carapace meticulously incised, encircled by two foliate bands divided by a raised line band. The sides of the box and cover with a similar foliate band, the underside similarly decorated with two confronted phoenixes centered by a flowerhead and encircled by a raised line and a foliate band, all against a ring-punched ground.Provenance: Hong Kong trade.Condition: Very good condition with some old wear, traces of use and manufacturing irregularities, expected minor tarnishing to the silver, and few tiny dents.Weight: 50.3 g Dimensions: Diameter 6 cmThe Black Tortoise (xuanwu) is one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations, which emerged in Chinese cosmology around the third century BC and became firmly established in the following centuries. Despite its English name, it is usually depicted as a tortoise entwined together with a snake. The name used in East Asian languages does not mention either animal. The alternative name 'Black (or Dark or Mysterious) Warrior' is a more faithful translation. It represents the north and the winter season, thus it is sometimes called Xuanwu of the North. The creature's name is identical to that of the important Taoist god Xuanwu, who is sometimes (as in Journey to the West) portrayed in the company of a turtle and a snake.This depiction of a tortoise entwined with a snake is highly symbolic. According to Chinese mythology, tortoises are exclusively female and must be paired with snakes, which have similarly shaped heads, to conceive. Therefore, the adroitly entwined tortoise and snake do not represent a violent struggle, but rather a harmonious balance of Yin and Yang. Interestingly, neither is capable of defeating the other, as the snake is unable to crush the tortoise's shell and reach its vital organs while the tortoise is unable to attack the serpent due to its short limbs and neck. Furthermore, the creature's name is identical to that of the important Daoist god Xuanwu, who is sometimes (as in Journey to the West) portrayed in the company of a turtle and a snake.Literature comparison:Compare the mural of the Black Tortoise, dated early 7th century, Goguryeo Kingdom, painted on the northern wall of the Great Tomb of Kangso in Pyongyang.

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

F.R.S., Astronomer Royal, This New British Celestial Globe, Containing the Positions of nearly 6000 Stars. Clusters, Nebulae, Planetary, Nebulae & c. Correctly computed & laid down for the year 1800; from the latest oservati,-ons and discoveries by Dr, Maskelyne, Dr. Herschel, The Rev'd. Mt. Wollaston &c &c, and with a further applied label Sold by J. & W. Watkins, Charing Cross London, with fully graduated equatorial and ecliptic with twilight zone, the constellations depicted by mythical beasts and figures with dotted boundaries, the stars shown to nine orders of magnitude with clusters and nebulæ, pivoted via the polar axis within brass meridian circle divided for degrees, set within a later facsimile printed paper horizon ring with compass points and degrees in both directions, Zodiac labelled in Latin, calendar scales and wind directions, in a stand with four down-curved quadrant supports cradling the globe baluster and ring-turned upright and three outswept supports each inlaid with diamond lozenge decoration and terminating with tapered feet.107cm (42ins) high, 61cm (24ins) diameter overall. 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. The partnership between Jeremiah and Walter Watkins is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as working from 5 Charing Cross, London 1784-98. The business was continued by Jeremiah alone until his death in 1810. The partnership was one of the most prolific retailers of optical, scientific, mathematical and surveying instruments during the closing decade of the 18th century. At this time it was common practice for the vendors of globes to put their own trade label over that of the manufacturer.Condition Report: Globe has been cosmetically restored; has been gently cleaned and coat of fresh varnish applied. Both poles have evidence of slight movement but the globe is secure on its axis. The gores show evidence of historic rubbing and slight wear with a few small losses to the papers in places, slight opening of the joins between the papers, and there is overall greying beneath the relatively fresh varnish. The stand is in good restored condition; the horizon papers are unfortunately photographic replicas. The column has evidence of repaired vertical cracking but is in strong solid structural condition.Please note additional images are available which form an integral part of the condition report. Condition Report Disclaimer

Edkins's death in 1853. William Fraser is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as working from 3 New Bond Street, London 1780-1805.Condition Report: The sphere is generally in good original condition with no noticeable cracks or losses/infilling to the gores. The varnish has patchy blooming to the finish most noticeably to some of the joins between the gores which have moved/opened a little. The finish has browned and is a little mottled but the detail and colouring is still clear. When rotating the globe a slight rattle (from loose material inside) can be heard. The meridian papers have a couple of small triangular losses at the joints between the sections and there is some cracking from the movement of the ring beneath the paper. The stand is structurally sound however there are veneer losses and chips to the circumference; the compass paper and glass is lacking and the disc is cracked. There is no brass lower support for the Meridian ring present. Faults to the stand are otherwise limited to minor age related bumps, scuffs and other very minor blemishes.Please note additional images are available which form an integral part of the condition report. 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

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.Condition Report: Globe is generally in relatively original 'country house' condition. The sphere retains old colouring beneath a coat of relatively recently applied varnish. This recently applied coat of varnish is somewhat unevenly executed with a few light runs and sags. There is some historic damage beneath the varnish mainly old flaking to the original varnish and scuffing the worst of which being three vertical touched-in scratches passing through Europe down into Africa a large patch of previous varnish loss to the centre of Africa and a smaller area of similar damage to North America. There is also some concentric rubbing/scratching adjacent to the Tropic of Cancer and the equator (commensurate with something rubbing between the brass meridian ring and the globe itself whilst the sphere is being rotated. The bottom pole has some cracking, movement and slight losses around the pivot and the top has some slight opening to the gores beneath the hour circle. The meridian ring and hour circle are in good original albeit dirty/discoloured condition and the globe rotates comfortably without rubbing. The brass bottom mount (that locates with and hods the meridian ring steady) The stand is in sound original condition with the horizon papers complete and in comparable condition as the globe and the woodwork with relatively minor age-related bumps, scuffs and wear. Condition Report Disclaimer

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

Charles Delamarche first acquired the remaining part of Robert Vaugondy's workshop, republishing their atlases and globes before taking over Jean Fortin's business in 1795. Latterly Delamarche also purchased the stock of Jean Lattree (publisher of the Lalande and Bonne Globes); through these acquisitions Delamarche essentially monopolised the Parisian globe making trade. The business passed to Charles Delamarche's son, Felix, in 1817 who continued production to around 1848.Condition Report: Globe presents as being in good original condition with nice mellow colour. Although it appears essentially untouched the globe has received some light sensitively executed restoration to address slight cracks to East Africa and the Atlantic. There is also some slight filling and restoration to North America/Canada and China. Faults to the sphere are otherwise limited to very light surface rubbing. The Meridian, horizon and other areas of printed paper are in good condition with faults limited to a few very light bumps/scuffs; the rear of the meridian ring (unprinted) has some overpainting to address an area where a section of thin card lining has been lost. The hour ring appears to be a restoration/replacement; the stand has been re-polished over historic bumps, scuffs and scratches.Please note additional images are available which form an integral part of the condition report. Condition Report Disclaimer
