Antique Wheel or Banjo Barometer - Rosewood, Inlaid with Mother of Pearl

19th century
For Sale by Culvertons
Description

This antique wheel or banjo barometer was made by D.Gugeri of Boston, Lincolnshire (Circa 1840). Dominic Gugeri is listed as a watch, clock and barometer maker, and was active between 1815 to 1845. This very attractive barometer has been sympathetically restored within the last 40 years and is in good working order. Its case is decorated in rosewood with intricate mother of pearl inlay. The engraved and silvered barometer and thermometer dials are in good condition, as is the original mother of pearl adjusting knob, that turns the responsive fretted pointer. As you can see from the photographs of the reverse, the barometer is currently set up to be transported. Its Mercury appears to be clean and free of air bubbles. A lovely example of an early Victorian wheel or banjo barometer.

FAQs

Developed in the 18th century and widely produced during the Victorian era, a banjo barometer is a wall-mounted instrument housed in a contoured wooden case reminiscent of a stringed instrument, containing a mercury tube, silvered dial, and frequently an integrated thermometer.

Victorian wheel barometers typically feature cases constructed from solid or veneered rosewood, mahogany, or oak, accented with mother of pearl or brass inlays, silvered dial plates, and hand-blown glass register covers.

Authentic 19th-century examples display natural age-related patination on the timber, hand-engraved lettering on silvered metal registers, authentic mother of pearl marquetry, and original mercury or spirit thermometer tubes attached with brass brackets.

Mount the instrument on a narrow wall space, within a hallway, or amidst a gallery wall alongside framed prints, allowing the dark wood timber and mother of pearl details to contrast against neutral paintwork.

Position the barometer on a secure interior wall away from direct heat sources, drafts, or high humidity, dusting the timber case with a soft microfibre cloth and applying glass cleaner to a cloth rather than spraying directly onto the glass dial.
