Rare antique sundial by Michael Butterfield c1675
Very fine bronze garden sundial by Butterfield (fl.1665-1724). Pocket sundials by Michael Butterfield, whose royal appointment as Ingénieur du Roi may have earned him the paternity of the standard French model pocket sundial, are quite common items. Other type of dials, such as this one, are quite rare. The dial was made for a Parisian address (or thereabout) with a 48 degree and 51 minute gnomon. Base is 165mm square
