It was listed by Jason Clarke Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Jason Clarke Antiques has dated this piece to the 1890s.
The mechanism is enclosed within a brass case and 5 inch glazed bezel with integral pointer. The paper dial remains in original condition with some historic light foxing commensurate with age.
Joseph Sewill was a famed watch and chronometer maker employed by the Royal Navy throughout this period as can be seen from the inscription to the front of the intricately painted paper dial reading, “Maker to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty” and the anchor stamp with the letters DC to the back of the brass case.
Considered to be the property of a former Liverpool harbour master the barometer remains in good working order. A very well made example from a prestigious Victorian maker.
Jason Clarke Antiques has dated this piece to the 1890s.
