Metronome system Paquet 1815 and Johan Maelzel 1846 second half of the 19th century

About the Item

Metronome system Paquet 1815 and Johan Maelzel 1846 from the second half of the 19th century. This is an instrument used to measure the tempo of music; the sound of the pendulum accurately signals the speed of performance. The instrument consists of a pendulum with a counterweight that works with a clockwork mechanism with gear wheels moved by a spring. The rod placed on the front fitted with a counterweight is operated by the clockwork mechanism whose oscillations mark the passage of time. The instrument is housed in an oak pyramid-shaped box that bears a brass plaque on the front and the names of Paquet 1815 and the inventor the Austrian physicist J.N. Maelezel 1846. Good condition, fully functional. Measures 11x11 h cm 23 - inches 4.35x4.35x9.1. The last photo is the gift box. Philippe-Nicolas Paquet was born in 1823; he settled in Paris, where he worked for the Maelzel Metronome company; upon the death of Johann Nepomuk Maelzel he then took over management of the factory and in 1867 established a new small machine tool and metronome manufacturing plant in Beaumont Sur Oise. The Beaumont plant remained in production until 1983. Among the first to use this type of instrument was Ludwing van Beethoven.

Reredos Fragment, Gilded Wood, circa Second Half of the 17th Century

Located in Madrid, ES

Altarpiece. Wood carved and gilded. Baroque, towards the second half of the 17th century. The Solomonic column was an element already known in the Renaissance (and before) that was popularized in art, in large part, thanks to the Baldachin of St. Peter's Basilica of the Vatican by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1624-1633), where he presented branches. In Spain, this type can already be seen in the Silver Tabernacle of the Cathedral of Seville (Juan de Alfaro, 15931596), used in altarpieces from the 1620s; nevertheless, the apogee of the Solomonic column will come from the hand of José Benito de Churriguera, whose altarpieces have an extraordinary importance since the second half of the 17th century and already at the beginning of the 18th century (note similarities and differences between the present altarpiece and that of the Convent of San Esteban...
