Antique Oak Cased Barograph

1900 - 1920
Description

A superb quality drum Barograph dating from the early 20th Century. The barograph is cased in oak on a stepped base with bun feet. The clockwork eight-day movement is housed in the drum, fitted with a seven day chart which covers one rotation of the drum. It has a silvered Short & Mason Weather Forecast Chart fitted to the base and its original glass ink bottle recessed into a brass holder.

The clockwork mechanism is in good working order and the drum rotates as it should. I have not referenced the pressure readings for accuracy but I have no reason to believe it shouldn't be in working order.

It is in excellent condition for its age and has clearly been very well looked after. There are some small marks here and there commensurate with age but there is no damage to report and the wood has a lovely aged patina.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

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

A barograph is a scientific recording instrument that continuously measures and logs atmospheric pressure changes onto a revolving paper chart driven by an internal clockwork mechanism.

Traditional barographs typically feature polished hardwood cases, such as oak or mahogany, fitted with bevelled glass panels to house lacquered brass mechanisms and aneroid capsules.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-assembled brass mechanisms, original clockwork drum movements, precise engraving, and natural age-related patina on both the timber frame and metal components.

Position the instrument on an office desk, library shelf, or sideboard surface as a historic accent piece that adds visual weight and academic character.

Keep the glass panels clean with a microfibre cloth, polish the timber frame using natural beeswax, and avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or environments with extreme humidity fluctuations.
