Description

A fine example of a silver Butterfield type sundial in the original green shagreen case. The finely engraved dial has Premier cadran (first dial) engraved with the city names and latitudes on the back. 

This is the only example I have seen in a green shagreen case with silver catches both still there.

Piere Langlois was a very good maker and this dial dates to around 1740
