Fine Aneroid Barograph by Short & Mason, London

1900 - 1920
Description

A high-quality aneroid barograph, the lacquered brass mechanism mounted on a polished base and enclosed within a glazed case of ebonised wood with a metal (brass-mounted) frame and carrying handles. The instrument comprises a stack of evacuated aneroid capsules, their minute expansions and contractions in response to atmospheric pressure transmitted through a system of finely engineered levers to a recording arm with an ink stylus.

The stylus records onto a rotating drum fitted with a weekly barometric chart, calibrated in millibars, driven by an internal clockwork movement. A spirit level is incorporated to ensure accurate horizontal alignment. The lift-off glazed cover allows full visibility of the mechanism while affording protection.

The base plate stamped Short & Mason, London, a respected maker of precision meteorological instruments.

FAQs

An aneroid barograph is a meteorological instrument developed in the 19th century to continuously record atmospheric pressure. It utilises a stack of evacuated metallic capsules that expand or contract with pressure changes, transmitting mechanical movement to an ink-tipped arm that traces a line onto a clockwork-driven paper chart.

Traditional barographs are constructed using precision brass movements, steel clockwork arbours, and corrugated beryllium copper or brass aneroid capsules. The protective housing typically features bevelled glass panels mounted in a dark hardwood frame, such as mahogany, oak, or lacquered fruitwood.

Authentic period barographs display maker stamps or engraved trade marks on the brass baseplate or recording arm, frequently citing established London instrument makers. Look for genuine age-related oxidisation on the brass, original clockwork winding arbours, and period chart paper scaled in inches of mercury or millibars.

An antique barograph works well placed on an executive office desk, a library bookshelf, or a dark wood console table. Complementing the brass and glass structure with leather-bound books, antique globes, or framed architectural prints enhances a classic library or dark academia interior layout.

To preserve a barograph, display it in a stable environment clear of direct heat sources and excessive humidity. Dust the glass case and lacquered brass elements gently using a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive metal polishes or liquid cleaners that could damage original lacquer or paper charts.
