A fine small early Victorian engraved gilt brass small calendar carriage timepiece with twin thermometers and compassSigned for Storr and Mortimer, London, circa 1835-38The four columnar pillar eight-day single chain fusee movement with Harrison's maintaining power and underslung English lever platform escapement regulated by three-arm monometallic balance incorporating cabochon endstone, the backplate with winding and setting squares labelled For the hands and To set day of month respectively and signed Storr & Mortimer, London to centre, the 1.625 inch circular silvered Roman numeral dial with fine foliate scroll engraved centre and blued steel moon hands set within a rectangular rococo scroll engraved gilt mask incorporating subsidiary silvered day-of-the week and date-of-the-month dials to lower margin behind a bevelled glass panel, the case with hinged foliate scroll and baton cast carrying handle over shallow raised rococo scroll engraved shaped top panel centred with a silvered compass engraved with the cardinal points and divided into sixteenths set beneath a bevelled glass, the angles with lobed button finials over plain frieze with twin crossover projections at each corner, the front with foliate scroll engraved surround to the glazed aperture flanked by projecting fluted columns, the sides with mercury tube thermometers with silvered scales annotated for FAHRENHEIT to the left and REAUMUR to the right set behind bevelled glasses within scroll engraved surrounds flanked by additional pairs of fluted columns, the rear with hinged rectangular door, on plain skirt base matching the frieze and generous stepped block feet 11.5cm (4.5ins) high excluding handle. The firm of Storr and Mortimer can trace its roots back to the celebrated silversmith Paul Storr who was joined in partnership by John Mortimer in 1822. The business traded from 13 New Bond Street and specialised in the retail of silverwares, jewellery, watches and clocks. In 1839 Storr and Mortimer relocated 156 New Bond Street with Paul Storr retiring very shortly afterwards. The firm continued under the management of John Mortimer and Samuel John Hunt (who joined the business in 1826) trading under the name Mortimer and Hunt; which was then in-turn subsequently succeeded by the partnership of Hunt and Roskell (with Robert Roskell probably joining the business around the time of John Mortimer's retirement in 1843). Hunt and Roskell exhibited at the 1851 Great Exhibition with their wares including a selection of small engraved gilt timepieces by Thomas Cole whose work they were known to have retailed. Hunt and Roskell continued as one of the leading retail jewellers and silversmiths throughout the Victorian era becoming a Limited Company in 1898. They relocated to 25 Old Bond Street in 1912 from where they traded until being bought-out by J.W. Benson in 1965. The strong architectural form of the current lot coupled with the lavish use of fine engraved decoration is typical of the best quality clocks made during the High Victorian period. Although small clock executed in this style were made particularly popular by Thomas Cole many of the other leading horological workshops such as Dent, Frodsham and McCabe produced small highly decorative timepieces from around 1830. The present timepiece benefits from having a well specified high quality movement incorporating a chain fusee with Harrison's maintaining power which would suggest that it was made in one of the leading workshops on behalf of Storr and Mortimer. Similar examples are illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling CLOCKS with the first on page 278 (Fig. 18-15) being of closely related case design but lacking the compass and thermometers; and the second being of broadly similar but plainer design but also signed for Storr and Mortimer is illustrated on page 346 (Fig. 24-1). Condition Report: Movement is in relatively clean condition with no visible alterations or replacements. The mechanism will run but only for around 3-4 seconds before stopping which suggests that the movement is in sound condition but requires a gentle clean/service. The calendar work is intact and appears to be in working order however we are unable to fully test it as do not have a key small enough for the setting square. The dial is in good condition, the calendar subsidiaries have very slight discolouration (when compared with the principal dial). The case is in good original condition with relatively minor gilt wear to edges. The right hand front foot has rubbing to the side and the base is lacking two of the eight nuts that hold the case together and two others are modern replacements. The silvered scales to both of the thermometers are heavily discoloured but are undamaged; the compass is also discoloured but to a lesser extent. The gilding to the back door is a little rubbed and the upper pin hinge has had a new pin. Faults to the timepiece are otherwise limited to very minor age related blemishes and the glasses appear free from visible damage.Timepiece does not have a winding key. Condition Report Disclaimer
A rare George III mahogany hodometer or waywiserCary, London, Late 18th centuryWith 31.5 inch diameter wheel bound with an iron tyre and with six tapered spokes around a brass hub engaging with take-off gearing contained within the left hand fork of the handle assembly, the right hand fork incorporating a hinged section to allow removal of the wheel with locking via a knurled brass screw, the upper section with inverted 7.25 inch circular silvered register engraved Cary, London to centre within concentric inner scale calibrated in Roman numeral MILES (I to X) and Arabic Furlongs (0 to 8 for each mile) to be read by the shorter of the two blued steel hands within outer scales calibrated in Poles (0 to 40) and Yards (0 to 220) to be read by the longer hand, set behind a hinged glazed circular moulded wooden bezel beneath elaborate yoke-shaped handle 137cm (54ins) high overall. The celebrated Cary family business of scientific instrument and globe makers was established by John Cary at Johnson's Court, Fleet Street, London in 1782 moving to a new address at 'Corner of Arundel Square', Strand the following year. 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 (who was born circa 1759 and apprenticed to Jesse Ramsden); 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 John Cary 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. The current lot would have been a particularly valuable instrument for surveyors charged with creating maps and plans during the latter years of the 18th century. The importance of the instrument's role is reflected in the quality of its construction with the dial in particular being finely engraved and finished. When reviewing comparable surviving instruments of this type it becomes clear that different makers such as Dollond, Thomas Rubergall, William Frazer, and W. and S. Jones appear to have sold essentially identical instruments. This would suggest that they were probably made in one workshop who then supplied them to various makers for retail. One possible candidate for the supplier would be the workshop George Adams, as several earlier variants of this design by him are known including an example in the King George III collection housed at The Science Museum, London. This suggests that Adams was used to making such instruments hence was best suited to supply them in reasonable numbers to other makers.
A William IV/early Victorian mahogany bowfronted mercury cistern tube marine stick barometerJames Bassnett, Liverpool, circa 1840With concave moulded surmount and cavetto cornice above bow-glazed canted ivory Vernier register plates annotated with the usual observations and signed JAMES BASSNETT, LIVERPOOL to lower left hand corner, the trunk with Vernier adjustment screw and brass gimbal pivots above glazed ivory Fahrenheit scale mercury tube thermometer, the base with moulded cylindrical lacquered brass cistern cover incorporating brass level adjustment screw to underside, 94cm (37ins) high. James Bassnett is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as an optician, clock and chronometer maker working from 4 Barnes Court, Shaws Brow, Liverpool 1829-34 and then from several addresses in Robert Street until 1857 when the firm became known Bassnett and Son.Condition Report: Tube is filled with mercury with no apparent air locks. The ivory scales have some localised patchy discolouration to the lower angles (around the brass securing screws), otherwise appear free from faults; the rack-and-pinion Vernier adjustment is operational. The thermometer tube is undamaged and the scale has a slight crack to the left hand margin (through the 100 numeral). Both the curved 'glasses' for the thermometer and barometer scales have been replaced with polycarbonate with the latter having some adhesive fogging to the upper margin. The case has been cosmetically restored with the moulded pediment block being re-attached slightly off-centre and the timber re-polished. The brass cistern cover has been apart and put back together with the cylinder being slightly off-centre in relation to the upper collar, the lower collar has a small crack in the brass to the leading edge and the underside has been slightly pushed-up. The gimbals are modern replacements. Condition Report Disclaimer
