Item Details

Description

A large bronze horizontal sundial, English, dated 1787,
signed MADE BY Lord Colvill, the well engraved octagonal dial bearing the arms of George Lord Kinnaird, hour scale with Roman numerals and minute scale reading to 10 minutes, compass rose with surrounding calendar scale and slower/faster scale, the decorative gnomon with acanthus leaf casting, 7in x 13in x 13in (18cm x 33cm x 33cm)
Footnotes:
George Kinnaird, 7th Lord Kinnaird (1754-1805). His important collection was based upon purchases from the Orleans Collection dispersed in 1792 after the French Revolution. The collection was displayed at Rossie Priory and was sold in 1948.

Made by Robert, Lord Colvill of Ochiltree. Interestingly, his claim to the lordship was disproved in 1788 - one year after he made this dial.
