Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This Jules Richard barograph from the early 20th century is housed in a medium brown oak case with a glazed front and bevelled timber mouldings framing the glass. The top carries a silver-coloured metal folding handle with rounded joints and a flat key tool resting beside it. Inside the case sits a cream-coloured rotating paper recording drum marked with days of the week, a vertical thermometer with a white scale plate, and a polished brass aneroid mechanism of stacked metal diaphragms connected to a long writing arm with a pointed nib. The medium brown wooden body sits upon four flat rectangular feet underneath the base moulding, and the surfaces show minor surface marks from age. Practical measurements are 16 cm high, 28.5 cm wide, and 13 cm deep. Instruments of this scientific style suit display upon an office desk, a library table, or a study bookshelf within a home. The hinged top opens to access the internal mechanism and the paper drum for changing charts. The glass panels protect the delicate internal brass and steel components while allowing a clear view of the recording needle and thermometer from across the room.

FAQs

A barograph is a recording barometer that measures atmospheric pressure over time, using a series of aneroid capsules that expand or contract to move a pen arm across a clockwork-driven paper chart on a rotating drum.

Early 20th-century barographs usually feature precision brass movement components, a steel pen arm, and an aneroid capsule stack housed within a glazed wooden case made from oak, mahogany, or walnut.

Authentic antique barographs typically feature makers marks or serial numbers stamped on the brass mechanism or case, alongside original clockwork drum mechanisms, period paper charts, and genuine age-related oxidisation on the metalwork.

An antique barograph serves as a sophisticated focal piece when styled on a library desk, bookshelf, or sideboard alongside leather-bound books and classic scientific decor.

Dust the glass panels and wooden case regularly with a soft, dry cloth, apply a high-grade beeswax polish to the timber annually, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the brass mechanisms or original paper chart drum.
