[INSTRUMENTS - POCKET SUNDIAL]SEVIN, PIERRE. A silver "Butterfield dial" type sundial, in its original fitted case. Paris: Pierre Sevin, circa 1680. The oval dial is in silver, finely engraved, with black enameling, the dial marked "pour 49 degrez" (49° being Paris), with three concentric hour scales, a folding triangular gnomon adjustable to latitudes 40° to 60,° with a finely engraved bird and foliate designs, and with a rosette design at center, the reverse of the dial with a list of cities, their latitudes, and the maker's signature, the dial set on two silver feet; with a four-direction recessed compass, the steel needle mounted on a pivot, the compass face covered with flat glass, the reverse in silver with an engraved rosette design; housed in the original oval fishskin case, lined in fitted red velvet, with metal clasp and hinge. The case measures 2 1/2 x 1 7/8 inches (6 x 4.5 cm). The silver is quite tarnished, and would benefit from polishing; the case is sound, with minor wear to the exterior, and the velvet-lined interior rubbed and worn by the sundial in the expected places. Pierre Sevin manufactured scientific instruments of the highest quality in Paris from 1662 to 1685, earning himself the title Ingenieur du Roi. His clients included the Academie des Sciences, the Paris Observatoire, and the astronomer Jean Richer, who used Sevin's instruments during his 1671 voyage to Cayenne in French Guyana. This is a rare, silver, "Butterfield" style pocket sundial, finely engraved and enameled in black. This type of dial began to appear around 1677, first manufactured by the Paris-based clock and instrument maker, Michael Butterfield. "Butterfield dials" are defined as being portable horizontal sundials, with an elongated hexagonally shaped hour scale, and a folding adjustable gnomon decorated with a bird. They were an immensely popular style of timepiece, copied from the late 17th century onwards. Sundials by Pierre Sevin are held in various important institutional collections, such as The Louvre Museum and The Royal Museums, Greenwich.No condition report?
