A Good George III Stick Barometer

19th century
Description

A. Manticha, LONDON**: a good late 18th/early 19th century mahogany STICK BAROMETER, in full working order.

The case is surmounted by the original brass finial within the architectural pediment, with a hinged door below for access, whilst the trunk is bordered with chequered marquetry string inlay. The cistern cover is original and of solid mahogany.
