Description

This antique stick barometer is beautifully crafted from pollard oak, showcasing a rich, distinctive colour and grain that only improves with age. The barometer features an elegant arched top, with a hinged glazed door that encloses the mercury-action barometer tube, offering a clear view of the inner workings.

On either side of the tube, there are seven weather indicators, allowing you to track atmospheric changes with ease. The barometer is proudly marked with the maker's name, Abraham Smith & Co., a well-respected name in antique instrument manufacture.

In working order, this piece has been well-preserved and remains a functional tool as well as a striking decorative object. The slim profile of the case makes it suitable for a variety of spaces, while the natural beauty of the pollard oak adds a timeless charm.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

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.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Keep the instrument away from direct sunlight, central heating sources, and damp environments to protect the wood finish, paper scales, and glass tube assembly.

Mount the piece as a focal point in a hallway, library, or study alongside traditional wood panelling, or use it to introduce vertical line and historical texture into a minimalist room.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct construction techniques such as hand-cut dovetails, secondary softwoods, original mercury tubes, and hand-lettered or engraved brass scales rather than modern printed dials.

Makers typically utilised dense cabinet timbers such as oak, mahogany, or walnut veneers over pine carcases, housing glass cistern tubes filled with mercury and hand-engraved brass or silvered dial plates.

Stick barometers evolved from marine and domestic weather-glass designs during the 17th and 18th centuries, transitioning from purely scientific instruments into refined interior furnishings for affluent homes.
