Provenance: Peter Eaton Coates Esq. of Stanton Court, London, acquired the rose engine in 1816. All five subsequent owners are known and documented and will accompany the lot. Henry C. Wing of Greenfield, Massachusetts, and Donald B. Wing of Marion, Massachusetts, were the fifth and sixth owners respectively, with the Donald Wing Estate the present consignor. Provenance material accompanies the lot. Note: According to the late Warren Greene Ogden Jr., a noted authority on ornamental turning, "No. 1071 is a 'True' Rose Engine with the headstock mounted on a cannon bearing 12 inches below the mandrel. Thus in the Holtzapffel Register such lathes are designated as '12 inch Rose Engines.'Other lathes fitted out for rose engine turning are known as "conversions."
