Lot 13
A fine and rare Scottish brass mounted mahogany stick barometer with hygrometer William Dobbie to a design by John Russell, Falkirk, circa 1845 The chevron banded case with swan neck pediment and cavetto cornice above arch-glazed door enclosing fine engraved silvered brass scale incorporating HYGROMETER calibrated 0-30 in both directions and annotated DRY/MOIST flanked by fine foliate scroll infill to arch, above arched banner titled BAROMETER and signed W m Dobbie, Falkirk over Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches and with the usual weather observations positioned to the right of the tube, opposing spirit tube Fahrenheit thermometer similarly labelled THERMOMETER in an arch above to the left, the trunk applied with full-height Corinthian half column with reeded shaft and cast brass capital and base over slightly domed oval cistern cover, 110cm (43.25ins) high excluding finial. Provenance: Private collection, Hampshire (ref. B44); purchased from J.W. Blanchard Limited, Winchester, 14th January 1993 for £1,700. William Dobbie is recorded in Loomes, Brian Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World, volume 2 as a clock and watchmaker born in Falkirk, 1796 and died 1845. The design of the current lot was devised by the celebrated clock and watch maker John Russell who settled in Falkirk in 1770 in a shop opposite the top of Kirk Wynd. He subsequently became watch maker to the Prince of Wales and died in 1817. The basic design of the current lot was probably developed around 1785 by Russell and appears to have be closely related to that of Benjamin Martin s Triple Weather Glass (an example of which was sold in these rooms in our sale of Mallett: Taking Stock 8th November 2018, lot 109). In his work English BAROMETERS 1680-1860 Nicholas Goodison refers to an excerpt from the Alloa Monthly Advertiser of 7th February 1845 in which it was announced that William Dobbie of Falkirk had just completed two of Russell s splendid royal barometers (now scarce), warranted identical with those made by the original constructor.. from this it would appear that Dobbie was trading on the back of Russell s reputation or perhaps even as his successor. Indeed the current lot would support the latter as the engraving to the register plate is all but identical to an example by Russell illustrated by Goodison on page 230 (plate 157).

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. An almost identical instrument to the current lot (signed by Nairne alone) is illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS, Stick or Cistern tube on page 75.

A rare Victorian carved oak and opaque glass maximum/minimum thermometer Unsigned, third quarter of the 19th century The arched opaque glass Fahrenheit scale plate applied with shaped tube arranged to provide a minimum reading to the inverted scale on the left hand side and maximum reading to the ascending scale to the right, the lower bend of the tube filled with mercury acting against markers inserted within the spirit filled sections, the scale further annotated COLD to the upper left margin opposing HEAT to the right, mounted on scroll-carved an oak wall panel for wall mounting, 38cm (15ins) high. This type of maximum/minimum thermometer was invented by James Six (1731-1793) in around 1780 and relies on markers inserted in the tube to remain at the highest position gained by the mercury over a given period, hence a record of the minimum temperature on the inverted scale to the left and highest temperature to the ascending scale on the right can be obtained.
