B58-541 SOLID IVORY BENCH LEVEL. Jacques Canivet. 6" long, decoratively carved ends, vial surround could be silver or German silver, which began to be used in the middle of the eighteenth century; it is richly engraved with "Canivet a La Sphere a Paris." Canivet, the nephew and student of the great Claude Langlois, was one of the most prolific and skilled makers of precision and scientific instruments in pre-revolution France. He worked at the "a La Sphere" address in the 1740s. The bubble is intact and looks original. A stunning piece, originally from the Roger Phillips collection. Fine 1000-2000
