Lot 608
A Chinoiserie decorated stick barometerIn the manner of Daniel Quare, Early 18th Century and later The silvered scale with two verniers, set by the brass finials above, tapering column and spiral twist base, losses to decoration and replacement97cm high Condition Report The lacquer decoration work has flaked off in vertical narrow sections all over the tapered trunk section. Is this perhaps due to the wood shrinkage? The spiral twist section has traces of black lacquer and gilt and is worn off on the high sections showing the wood below (walnut or mahogany?). The cistern is lacquered and has similar degrading as well as some worm holes. The back of the cistern has a flattened edge to sit against the wall. The two brass rings on the trunk are well turned and deeply patinated.The two side panels of the pediment appear to have a later black lacquer application. With this later lacquer, it is very difficult to judge if the pediment sides and base are original, hence the qualification in cataloguing. The top fillet below the finials, appears original and the lacquer is worn and chipped. The finials are brass and lacquered which is dirty and patinated. The back panel is decorated and is reasonable condition, although cracked and with some losses. Behind the dial the internal wood surface is painted with a red/pink colour perhaps with glued paper below.
