Goodison, English Barometers and their Makers, 1680-1860, 1969, pp. 192-201.Daniel Quare (1647-1724) manufactured barometers of exceptional quality during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. His patent for a portable cistern pillar barometer in 1695 featured a narrowed bore concealing an elongated glass tube reducing the risk of breaks and spillages. His inclusion of a leather bag or cover placed over the cistern allowed for these items to travel safely and garnered acclaim by the Patent Office as, ‘without spilling one drop of the quicksilver or letting any air into the tube.’ The demand for barometers remained strong across Europe, with other known examples of Quare's barometers displaying French and German indications, underscoring his significant presence in the European market.Similar examples sold at auction include: a Queen Anne walnut portable pillar barometer, Christie’s, London, 23 May 2013, lot 1123; an ebonised and parcel-gilt pillar barometer, Christie's, London, 27 May 2010, lot 18; an ebonised, parcel-gilt and ivory-mounted siphon barometer (No. 60) Christie's, London, The Roger Warner Collection, 20 January 2009, lot 355; a Queen Anne ebonised and ivory-mounted syphon barometer (No. 59), Christie's, London, 11 December 2002, Lot 78; a walnut double-sided barometer (No. 38), Sotheby's, London, The Ronald A.

Ca. AD 100-300.A pair of exquisite Roman marble statues depicting the Roman god of silence, secrets and confidentiality, Harpocrates. The statues depict the god with a short, chubby body, elbow resting on a pillar in a slight contrapposto pose. The heads of the statues are near identical, with broad, flat noses, full lips and small, heavy-lidded eyes, all framed by luxurious curling locks of hair that cascade to the shoulders. There is some differentiation between the figures, as one is depicted with a pot belly and less developed pectoral muscles than the other. Harpocrates, a god of Graeco-Egyptian origin, was the the son of Isis and Osiris and was frequently represented as a chubby infant or young man with his finger to his mouth, making these examples rare variations of the type. He was assimilated into Roman religion, and the aforementioned gesture, once signifying youth, was misinterpreted by the Romans as a sign of silence (Ovid, Meta., 9.688ff).Size: 660-690mm x 250-280mm; Weight: 18kg/20.8kg. Provenance: From a private French collection; acquired from Helios Ancient Art, London, UK, in 1990; formerly forming part of a West Sussex estate, acquired between 1960s-1970s.
Make & Model:Citroen, CX 25 Date of Reg:C950KMR Colour:Gold cc:2500 MoT:2025-01-30 Fuel Type:Petrol Mileage:142875 Transmission:automatic Summary:As the CX in standard form had insufficient rear legroom to function as a chauffeur-driven limousine Citroën introduced the Prestige variant in 1976, offering an extra 10 inches of length. In 1977, the car also gained a raised roofline to improve headroom, with the roof often clothed in vinyl to denote the model's more luxurious status.This smart-looking 2499cc automatic transmission example, registered in January 1986, was in the hands of a Citroën specialist owner for 24 years. During the 1990s, it regularly picked up trophies and certificates at various Citroën Car Club events - which are still present with the car - but was taken off the road in 2008, albeit still regularly run. It was recommissioned during 2021 by marque specialist Pleaides with six new spheres, water pump, battery, temperature switch, engine oil and filter, fuel filter, air filter and spark plugs. The hydraulic pipes were also checked over. After detailing, the car went to the 2021 Citroën Car Club National Rally where it was awarded the prize for the best CX at the show. Sold at an ACA sale in November 2021, the new owner had over £5000 of work done from 2022 to 2024 plus four Michelin TRX metric tyres (at a cost of £1300). The car is in very good condition inside and out, although the vendor notes the headlining sagging a little over the driver's seat, there's some loose fabric trim on the offside rear D-pillar inside and the air conditioning not currently functioning. The vehicle is reported to be running and driving well.Included in the history folder are the current and previous V5Cs, MoT certificates, and recent invoices, along with brochures, a copy of the front cover of Classic Car Weekly from January 2024 with the CX on the front, Haynes workshop manual and the book pack with two owner's manuals, dealership directory and a service book although the vendor states this is not from this vehicle. The recorded mileage is 142,875 miles and the MoT is valid until January 2025.
