| Very rare 19th century marine barometer |
| This is a fantasticly rare item we found in a recent clearance,its an early 19th century marine barometer.The barometer seems to be working ok and is full of mercury as is the thermometer in the middle,the only fault i can find with it is that there would have been 2 ivorene knobs to adjust the guage wich are missing,these can easily be bought on ebay for about £7 each.The stick comes with original brass gimble or can be hung from the loop on the top as in the pics and it stands aprox 3ft in length.Its signed for "H HEMSLEY 140st GEORGE ST EAST IMPROVED MARINE".The stick is in pretty good original condition but is quite dirty so could do with a bit of wax and wire wool to bring the colour back into it.The stick comes with variouse framed pieces of documentation to do with its owner the captain of brig"BLACK BOY"and a copy of a page of the Whitby Gazette dated 1858 telling how it was rescued from the Black Boy along with the captains child when it was wrecked.This is a very rare find in that marine barometers are very rare apearing in top west end sales every so often but never with the kind of interesting provenance this one has. |

| Good Victorian mahogany partners desk |
This is a very nice Victorian mahogany partners desk in good overall useable condition.The desk features 9 drawers each side wich is quite unusual and comes apart in three pieces.Its about 5ft wide and 45 inches deep and the only faults i can find is one piece of beading is damaged(see pics)and its a little faded in places wich to my mind only adds character.This is a very nice functional piece of furniture thats survived 100+yrs and should do the same again.
