Rare Hezzanith Oak Cased Barograph with Art Nouveau Inlay

1900 - 1920
Description

very unusual and highly decorative Edwardian barograph by Hezzanith, presented in an elegant glazed oak case with striking Art Nouveau influenced inlaid decoration to the uprights and drawer front. Retaining its original bevelled glass panels and removable top cover, the instrument displays an exceptionally intricate brass and steel mechanism, making it both a scientific instrument and an attractive display piece.

The barograph features an eight-stack vacuum chamber movement operating a recording arm over the revolving chart drum, still retaining its original style chart paper beneath a brass lid. To the front is an engraved glass weather dial marked from “Rain” through to “Very Dry,” alongside an integrated thermometer scale, all mounted upon a polished brass platform stamped “Hezzanith.” The visible workings give the piece tremendous visual interest and showcase the precision engineering associated with quality Edwardian scientific instruments.

The warm oak case is finely constructed with stepped mouldings and stands upon shaped bracket feet, with a useful drawer below for storage of charts and accessories.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A barograph is a recording barometer designed to track atmospheric pressure over time. It utilizes an aneroid capsule mechanism linked to a pen arm, which continuously marks pressure variations onto a paper chart fitted around a clockwork-driven revolving drum.

Traditional barographs are typically constructed with a solid hardwood case, such as oak or mahogany, framed with clear glass panels. The internal mechanisms consist of polished brass levers, steel springs, aneroid capsules, and clockwork components.

Authentic Art Nouveau examples feature period-appropriate stylised botanical marquetry or brass inlay, bevelled glass panels, and signed maker marks on the dial or brass drum base dating from the late 19th to early 20th century.

An antique barograph functions effectively as a focal decorative object when placed on an office desk, console table, or library bookshelf, offering a bridge between functional scientific instrument history and classic woodwork design.

Position the instrument away from direct sunlight and fluctuating heat sources to protect the wooden frame and paper charts. Clean glass panes with a soft microfibre cloth and periodically service the internal clockwork movement with specialised instrument oil.
