LOT 1144
A rare early 19th century Russian interest mahogany stick barometer, the silvered brass rectangular dial with vernier scale and signed 'Tangate' above Cyrillic detail, the bowfront case with gilt metal surmount above a glazed panel, the trunk with mercury thermometer and Cyrillic detailed silvered dial, above an urn shaped cistern cover, height 100.5cm (thermometer damaged). Note: Robert Tangate is recorded in the Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 by Gloria Clifton as working in London from 1766 until his death in 1808. This barometer bears Russian Cyrillic detail to both dials, which suggests it may have been commissioned for a Russian family.
