FAQs

A wheel barometer, also known as a banjo barometer due to its distinctive shape, is a domestic instrument developed in the 18th century to measure atmospheric pressure using mercury.

Georgian barometers were primarily constructed from solid and veneered woods such as mahogany or rosewood, featuring engraved brass dials, silvered register plates, and delicate marquetry or shell inlays.

Authentic Georgian or Regency examples feature hand-engraved lettering on silvered or brass dials, mercury glass tubes, original wooden or brass finials, and period-appropriate stringing or marquetry inlay.

Mount the instrument on a narrow wall, within an entryway foyer, or alongside a gallery wall in a library or study to add historical depth and architectural interest.

Keep the barometer away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage or lacquer damage, dust gently with a soft dry cloth, and ensure it remains upright if mercury is present.
