An Elegant Antique Wheel Barometer by I.spelzini of '91 Leather Lane, Holborn, London'

19th century
Sold by Culvertons
Description

Wheel barometers, like this fully working mahogany example from the 1830s, embody many of the characteristics and features we associate with Georgian interiors and the 'age of elegance' - its slender mahogany case edged in ebony and boxwood, houses four separate finely engraved silvered dials that indicate the humidity, temperature, atmospheric pressure, and position of the case, together with a charming miniature convex mirror. It is topped with a swans-neck pediment and elegant turned brass finial. 'I Spelzini' and the trading address '91 Leather Lane, Holborn' can be read on the bottom dial - I Spelzini were London-based instrument makers that can be traced back to the reign of George III. This barometer has been previously restored to a good standard and is in excellent working condition. Due to the mercury housed within the barometer, our normal offer of delivery by courier does not apply to this item. However, it can be collected or we can deliver and set it up within a 50-mile radius of our shop.

Dealers Notes

Whenever possible Culvertons undertake the carriage of items within London and the home counties. Professional, competitive and trusted couriers and shipping companies are engaged for deliveries for the remainder of our customers. Smaller items, when instructed, will be carefully parcelled and securely sent by the carrier.

We strive to accurately describe and illustrate our stock on the 'Selling Antiques' website. However, we understand that it is not always possible to judge from photographs how an item will look in the home or garden. For this reason, if notified within seven days from the date of delivery we offer a full refund (less any agreed carriage costs) once the item has been returned in the same condition as it left our premises.
