Barograph in a Light Oak, 5-Glass Case. circa 1910 (Edwardian Period).

1900 - 1920
For Sale by M. C. Taylor
Description

A superior quality, beautiful and totally original barograph.

The 8 day duration, drum timepiece clock movement with its original and top-mounted, Cylinder, platform escapement. Contained in a revolving 3 3/4" diameter brass chart drum. This is mounted upon the top base tier as is the barometric cradle with an 8-tiered stack.

The superior nib on the end of the floating arm is refilled when the chart is changed weekly from its side-mounted glass ink bottle and dipper.

The timepiece movement is wound weekly by removing the top cover to expose the fixed winding key and the platform escapement with protective horns that can be adjusted for regulating the timekeeping.

There is also a chart-change holding bar to lift the nib away from the drum when necessary and for transit.

The light oak, heavily constructed case has a 5-glass cover that simply fits over the top tier of the moulded base and is lifted off to operate the device. All of the glass panels are thick and bevelled and the base contains a double-depth, chart drawer.

* Barographs are not only attractive but also provide a good deal of fun when operated. They also provide a lasting record of local weather conditions.

Condition: Excellent and working perfectly. Cosmetically this device is exceptional for its age and is undamaged. It has aged beautifully and it has a wonderful glow to the case. It is wholly original but I have fitted a new nib because the old one was worn out! It will be supplied with a years worth of high quality charts and ample non-blotting ink. It will be fully overhauled and guaranteed and it is this work that adds considerable value and provides peace of mind. If maintained correctly, this device will serve you indefinitely. These are also excellent gifts and future family heirlooms.

Dimensions: The moulded base is 14 1/4" wide x 8 1/2" deep and the height is 8 1/4".

Price: This will include a complete overhaul to the clock movement and a service to the barometer.

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.

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.

FAQs

A barograph is a meteorological instrument that records atmospheric pressure over time. It utilizes a stack of aneroid capsules that expand or contract with pressure changes, moving a pen arm to trace a line onto a paper chart wrapped around a clockwork-driven drum.

Traditional barographs were typically housed in cases made from hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, fitted with glass panels. The internal recording mechanism and clockwork movement were constructed primarily from lacquered brass and steel.

Authentic Edwardian barographs often feature a light oak or mahogany five-glass case, sometimes with a built-in drawer in the base to store spare recording charts. Look for original brass lacquering, hand-assembled movement components, and period clockwork winding keys.

An antique barograph works exceptionally well as a focal point on an office desk, library bookcase, or console table. Pairing it with dark woods, brass accents, or leather-bound books complements its scientific aesthetic.

Keep the instrument away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations to protect the wood and mechanism. Clean the glass with a soft cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes on brass parts to preserve the natural patina, and ensure the clockwork movement is serviced by a specialist.
