Description

A very nice mercury barometer that has just been fully overhauled and re-calibrated.

Please note that this barometer looks far nicer in real life than our pictures depict. We are very good at clocks and barometers and very bad at photography.

A lovely mahogany "onion-top" case that is beautifully polished.

Complete with hygrometer, thermometer, butlers mirror, barometer, ivory setting knob, and level indicator.

The silvering of all dials is in excellent condition and contrasts nicely with the black engraved markings.

A 7" thermometer and a 9" barometer with brass bezel.

Still the best local weather forecaster you can get.

All cards accepted.

FAQs

Mercury barometers became widespread in domestic interiors during the Victorian era as improvements in manufacturing allowed for more accessible meteorological instruments for households.

These instruments typically feature cases crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, housing glass tubes filled with liquid mercury and complemented by brass dials and bezels.

Authenticity is generally determined by hand-blown glass tubing, period-appropriate typography on the metal scale plates, traditional hand-carved or veneered wooden cases, and signs of age-related patination on the brass and wood components.

Hanging the instrument on a prominent wall in a study, hallway, or library allows it to serve as a focal point, pairing well with traditional dark wood furniture or contrasting effectively against neutral contemporary walls.

Maintenance involves keeping the instrument away from direct sunlight and excessive heat sources, dusting the wooden case with a dry cloth, and handling the mercury column with extreme care if relocation is necessary.
