FAQs

A banjo barometer is a wall-mounted meteorological instrument contained within a distinctive figure-of-eight or banjo-shaped timber case, developed during the eighteenth century.

Traditional banjo barometers are constructed from hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or walnut, featuring brass bezels, glass covers, and ceramic or porcelain dial faces.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-carved scrollwork, integrated mercury or spirit thermometers, porcelain or silvered dials with engraved calibration, and brass mechanical movements.

Positioning a carved wood barometer in an entryway, library, or alongside a gallery wall provides architectural structure and visual interest within contemporary or traditional schemes.

Clean the carved wood housing using a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax periodically, ensuring water or liquid chemical cleaners do not come into contact with the dial or brass components.
