Mrs Janet Taylor, 104 The Minories, London - a Victorian rosewood stick barometer, having signed ivory scale and neighbouring ivory thermometer dial to a plain case, 97cm.Note: Janet Taylor (1804-1870) was one of only a handful of women working as scientific instrument makers in 19th century London and established her own Nautical Academy at 104 Minories in the 1830s. She invented and patented a 'Mariner's Calculator' in 1834 to establish the true time and altitude while at sea, which unfortunately was turned down by the Admiralty for being too delicate for the 'clumsy fingers of seamen' . Nevertheless her many publications and inventions garnered her awards from the kings of Prussia and Holland, as well as the Pope for her contribution to the maritime community, and the Admiralty awarded her a Civil List pension towards the end of her life. A night telescope made by Taylor is in the Greenwich National Maritime Museum, and other works are held in science museums and library collections around the world. Condition report: No mercury in main tube.Some greying to ivory scale.All rosewood excellent.
An early 20th century Arts and Craft style stick-back chair of primitive inspiration; dished hexagonal seat and slightly splaying legs united by an H-form stretcherCondition Report: Overall the piece is in good honest original condition. There is an old paper depositary label underneath. The legs feel fairly sturdy although lots of scruffs, scratches and varnish away commensurate with usage and age. Similarly so with the arms which now exhibit the actual grain of the wood underneath as opposed to the varnish. The seat in similar original condition. No damage, restorations or major problems noted.
