Losada was a Spanish émigré apparently exiled to London due to his liberal military past during the Liberal Triennium. He worked for James Moore French, initially as a cleaner (employment secured through the The Committee for Aid to Emigrants in London), but he soon learnt the trade and eventually inherited the business operating from the 105 Regent Street premises from 1835. Losada specialised in complex precision clocks and marine chronometers for export to Spanish speaking countries. In 1864 he supplied 36 marine chronometers to the Spanish Government through the Royal Observatory at Cadiz; and In 1866 he donated the Casa de Correos clock in Madrid's Puerta Del Sol to the Madrid City Council free of charge (this clock still takes centre stage for Madrid residents and visitors at midnight on New Year's Eve). Jose Rodriguez Losada died in 1875 leaving the business in the hands of his nephews, José and Miguel Rodriguez, who continued up until around 1890. Condition Report: Mechanism appears to be in fine clean original working condition with no visible faults evident however it is a little slow to get started suggesting that lubrication may be a little dry. Each of the cylinders are stamped with numbers 3388. As catalogued the tune sheet has been redacted to no longer include cylinder 10 which is no longer present with the instrument. The box is in fine cosmetically condition with minimal wear or other faults evident except for a reasonably well-matched veneer patch repair towards the leading edge of the lid. As catalogued the two-drawer stand is of fairly recent construction and bespoke for the box. It is of good quality and in fine condition with faults limited to a few very light surface blemishes only; the lower drawer not fitted-out in any way so simply serves as additional storage.Box does not have a key for the lock. Condition Report Disclaimer

The refined quality and use of precious materials of this string anchor suggests it was made for an equally refined zither. It is likely that instruments of such outstanding quality were made for high-ranking members of the society as demonstrated by a zither discovered in the tomb of the Marquis Yi of Zeng (dated to late 5th century BC) in Hubei. A similar bronze fitting of Western Han date, similarly decorated with gold, silver and other precious stone inlays, was excavated from tomb no. 2 at Dongdongshan, Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, and is illustrated in James Lin (ed.), The Search for Immortality: Tomb Treasures of Han China, Cambridge, 2012, p.136, no.32. Compare also with a gold and silver-inlaid bronze fitting of similar shape and size but missing the hardstone inlays, sold in Christie's New York, 19-20 September 2013, lot 1503.
