Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A Georgian horizontal sundial is an astronomical timekeeping instrument produced during the 18th and early 19th centuries. It features a flat plate engraved with hour lines and a gnomon angled to match the latitude of its intended location.

Sundials of this era were typically manufactured using durable metals such as bronze, brass, or slate. Bronze was favoured for high-grade instruments due to its resistance to corrosion when exposed to outdoor elements.

Authentic period sundials feature crisp hand-engraved lettering, maker signatures, age-appropriate casting imperfections, and authentic surface patination consistent with long-term atmospheric exposure.

Beyond traditional installation on a stone garden pedestal, an antique sundial plate can be styled indoors on an office desk, mantelpiece, or bookshelf as a historical scientific artifact.

To preserve the historic surface, dust gently with a soft dry brush. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive metal polishes, as these will strip the aged patina and compromise engraved details.
