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

Designed in the mid-19th century under the direction of Admiral Robert FitzRoy, these wall-mounted barometers were developed to provide accessible weather forecasting using a mercury tube alongside detailed printed observational guidelines.

Victorian barometers were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, featuring blown glass tube components, brass mounting brackets, and printed paper or ivory scale registers.

Authentic Victorian examples feature period timber construction with hand-carved architectural mouldings, original paper or ceramic scale plates displaying Victorian typography, and glass weather tubes.

An antique timber barometer serves as a focal point when hung on a narrow wall space, in a home office, study, or entrance hallway alongside framed prints and vintage brass accents.

Keep the carved oak casing away from direct heat sources and damp environments to prevent warping, dust the woodwork gently with a soft dry brush, and avoid tilting or laying the glass mercury tube flat.
