Mahogany Cased Barograph

1900 - 1920
Description

Kelvin Bottomley mahogany-cased Barograph, having five bevelled glazed removable lid, and a drawer below to house the charts. The mechanical eight-day movement is housed in the drum, fitted with a seven-day chart that covers one full rotation of the drum. The ink trace, or barogram, on the recording paper, is a visual record of changes in pressure.

The aneroid barometer mechanism has seven stacked vacuum capsules and utilises a gate suspension, a refinement developed to improve sensitivity. The barograph has a thermometer and its original glass ink bottle recessed into the case.

FAQs

A barograph is a recording aneroid barometer that uses a clockwork revolving drum and an ink pen to continuously chart atmospheric pressure changes over time. Developed in the nineteenth century, these instruments provided visual meteorological tracking for maritime, aviation, and household applications.

Traditional barographs were crafted using polished hardwoods such as mahogany or oak for the plinth base and framed cover, paired with bevelled glass panels. The internal recording mechanism consists of metallic aneroid capsules, steel linkages, brass clockwork cylinders, and paper charts.

Authentic period barographs feature hand-assembled aneroid capsule stacks, precision brass clockwork movements inside the recording drum, and fitted base drawers for chart storage. Evidence of genuine age includes natural oxidisation on internal metal parts and soft surface wear on the timber base.

A mahogany cased barograph serves as a focal point when positioned on a mahogany office desk, library bookshelf, or console table. Pairing it with antique leather books, brass drawing instruments, or framed botanical prints emphasizes its mechanical design aesthetic.

Keep the mahogany case away from direct sunlight and heat radiators to prevent timber shrinkage or varnish bleaching. Clean the glass cover with a soft dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax to the timber base periodically, leaving the interior clockwork untouched by chemical polishes.
