FAQs

Popularised in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the wheel or banjo barometer was created to allow domestic households to monitor atmospheric pressure changes. Designed primarily by Italian instrument makers working in Britain, these pieces combined functional meteorology with decorative cabinetmaking.

Traditional wheel barometers typically feature a mahogany, rosewood, or walnut casing, often inlaid with shell motifs or edged with stringing. The functional components comprise a mercury filled glass tube, a silvered brass dial plate, and steel or brass pointers.

Authentic period barometers feature hand-engraved brass or silvered dials, original mercury glass tubing, and natural patination on the timber. Look for maker marks engraved near the dial centre and authentic hand-carved scroll or pediment details.

Position a wheel barometer vertically on a narrow wall space, hallway alcove, or alongside framed artwork in a gallery wall. The timber tone pairs well with modern neutral paint schemes and classic library interiors.

Keep the instrument mounted securely away from direct heat sources, draughts, or direct sunlight to prevent timber warping and fluid evaporation. Dust the mahogany casing with a dry lint-free cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the brass dial.
