The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A wheel barometer, often called a banjo barometer due to its distinctive shape, is an instrument designed to measure atmospheric pressure via a float mechanism connected to a dial pointer, developed extensively during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

These instruments typically feature flame mahogany or walnut veneered casings, silvered brass register plates, cast brass bezels, and glass dials, frequently incorporating spirit thermometers and convex mirrors.

Authentic period examples feature hand-engraved maker names, hand-cast brass bezels, blown-glass mercury U-tubes behind the casing, and traditional joinery on the wooden housing.

Mount the instrument vertically in a hallway, library, or study on a narrow wall space or alcove to create a focal point among framed art or alongside dark wood furnishings.

Keep the piece mounted securely away from direct heat sources or damp walls, dust the casing with a soft microfibre cloth, and avoid tilting or laying the item flat if original mercury remains inside.
