FAQs

A George III banjo barometer, also known as a wheel barometer, is a late 18th to early 19th-century scientific wall instrument housed in a characteristic banjo-shaped wood case.

Georgian barometers were predominantly constructed from mahogany or rosewood veneers, featuring silvered brass dials, glass tubes, and brass bezels or fittings.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-engraved silvered dials, swan-neck or pediment tops with central finials, original glass tubes, and natural age-related patina across the timber.

Mount the piece vertically on a narrow wall space, hallway panelling, or integrate it into a gallery wall alongside traditional prints to create an architectural accent.

Position the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve the mahogany veneer, and dust the brass components gently using a dry microfibre cloth.
