FAQs

The stick barometer was developed in the late 17th century following Evangelista Torricellis invention of the mercury barometer, evolving into a refined domestic instrument during the Georgian and Victorian periods.

They were typically constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or oak for the case, featuring engraved ivory or silvered brass register plates and glass tubes containing liquid mercury.

Authenticity is determined by examining the timber grain, the ageing of the mercury column, the hand-engraving on the register plates, and maker signatures or historical maker marks.

It is best mounted in a traditional hallway, study, or library where its vertical timber lines and historical aesthetic can serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Keep the instrument away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping, and exercise extreme caution if relocation is necessary due to the mercury content.
