A large brass London made telescope
Stock #: 25046
A large brass telescope dating from the very end of the 19thC by BATEMAN 104 The Strand London. It is both decorative and practical having lenses with which to observe both terrestrial and astronomical objects. It will focus clearly on the moon to view craters. Many of these telescopes can only be used astronomically as the image is upside down...there is no right way up in space. This one however has a lens which inverts the image to observe images terrestrially ie the right way up and thus can be used for both maritime and land viewing. It has two large dents in the barrel but this has no bearing on its operation. The 3 inch objective lens has a brass quadrant covering it which again has no affect on the resulting image although its purpose is unknown. It comes with its original pine case (Lock not working) which can be closed using the brass hook and eye catches either side of the leather carrying handle. Suitable for display and for amateur observations.
About 173 cm high with the barrel horizontal. Barrel about 114 cm long (more with the focussing tube inserted)

A large 18th/19thC religious oil on canvas
Stock #: 23028
An interesting antique oil on canvas of a religious scene depicting Samuel under instruction from Eli. This is after the original (1780) by John Singleton Copley (Anglo American born in Boston). The canvas is of considerable age and due to deterioration and damage has been mounted on board at some time in the past. This has stabilized it for the future. The back of the board is covered with old early 19thC (1811) Bible pages. It is unsigned and un dated but is without doubt 19th or possibly late 18thC. The frame is of the same period and it retains most of its original gilding. There is damage and overpainting but it would still look magnificent in the right setting. Please ask for more photos if you are interested.
