Item Description

A fine and rare early 20th century, carved Portland stone sundial by J P White. Listed in their catalogue as the 'Ixworth Dial'. This large sundial is in very good condition and beautifully weathered, with carved inscriptions on all sides of the base and retaining what I believe is its original bronze plate by 'Barker & Son Scientific Instrument Makers London', the gnomen with an old brazed repair.

Inscriptions read

'I'll Only Count Your Sunny hours'
'Let Others Tell Of Storm And Showers'
'Lux Post Umbrant' ( The Light Behind The Shadow )
'Lux Venit Ab Ali' ( The Light Comes From Elsewhere )


English circa 1920

H 48" x W 12" x D 12"
