FAQs

A stick barometer is a narrow, wall-mounted weather instrument created to measure atmospheric pressure via a vertical column of mercury sealed in a glass tube. Typically housed in timber cases such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, these instruments were produced extensively during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Georgian stick barometers were constructed using dense hardwoods, primarily flame mahogany or walnut, along with silvered brass plates for the scales. Internal components comprise a glass tube holding liquid mercury, brass adjusters, and occasionally bone or ivory indicator pegs.

Authentic period stick barometers feature engraved silvered brass plates displaying atmospheric weather predictions, hand-cut glass tubes, and turned wood cistern covers at the base. Markings from regional instrument makers, along with pediment details like swan-neck or pediment tops with brass finials, indicate genuine period manufacture.

A stick barometer is best displayed vertically on a narrow wall space, within a hallway, or between artwork in a gallery wall arrangement. Its dark mahogany frame and metallic register plate add warm timber accents and scientific historical interest to contemporary or traditional rooms.

Keep the barometer mounted securely upright on a solid wall, away from direct heat sources, draughts, or physical vibrations. Cleaning should be limited to dusting the wood casing with a dry microfibre cloth, ensuring the internal mercury column and glass tube remain undisturbed.
