This Regency mahogany stick barometer stands 99 cm high, 12 cm wide, and 4 cm deep, designed for placement in a narrow wall space in a gentleman's library or hallway. The piece uses warm brown mahogany, glass, and silvered brass materials, showcasing a swan-neck pediment top centred by a brass finial. The silvered brass dial plate features engraved lettering and a vernier scale marked with weather indicators including stormy, much rain, rain, change, and fair. A glass thermometer tube with a dark bulb and a red liquid column runs alongside the central mercury tube. The woodwork exhibits distinct mouldings around the glazed door framing the dial and thermometer. The brass components show slight tarnish and the silvered plate displays signs of age with surface marks and fading. This antique instrument hangs securely on a wall to measure atmospheric pressure and temperature in a traditional home interior.

FAQs

A Regency stick barometer is a slender, wall-mounted 19th-century scientific instrument designed to measure atmospheric pressure using a mercury-filled glass tube. Popularised during the early 1800s in Britain, these pieces featured refined wooden casing, often crafted from mahogany, alongside engraved silvered brass plates.

These instruments were predominantly constructed using mahogany, oak, or rosewood timber cases fitted with hand-engraved silvered brass scale plates. They incorporate capillary glass tubes containing mercury, alongside brass verniers and adjusters.

Authentic Regency barometers exhibit neoclassical design details such as pediment tops, carved urn finials, and slim mahogany casework. Look for maker signatures engraved directly onto silvered brass plates, original mercury glass tubes, and period-appropriate scale typography.

Mount the instrument vertically on a narrow wall, within a hallway corridor, or beside library shelving to showcase its linear profile. The dark timber finish and engraved silver plate create a striking historical accent when set against contemporary neutral backdrop tones.

Mount the barometer vertically in a stable environment away from direct sunlight, moisture, and central heating radiators to avoid timber warping. Dust the casing with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, and avoid touching or polishing the silvered brass dial to preserve the original lacquer.
