This Georgian stick barometer dates from the late 18th century, attributed to A Pozzoby London. The wall-mounted instrument comes in warm brown mahogany, inlaid with boxwood and ebony stringing, and stands 97 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 6 cm deep. Notable details include a broken arch pediment surmounted by a central brass finial, an upper hinged glass door enclosing the calibrated silvered dial and thermometer, a visible mercury tube, and a rounded turned cistern cover at the base. Suitable for placement on a narrow wall space in a gentleman's library, hallway, or study, the piece brings period functionality and classic British craftsmanship to an interior. The architectural styling and rich timber grain integrate cleanly into traditional or period-inspired settings, offering a practical antique weather instrument ready for display.

FAQs

A Georgian stick barometer is a wall-hung meteorological instrument developed in the 18th century, comprising a slender wooden casing holding a vertical mercury-filled glass tube and an engraved reading scale.

These barometers were primarily crafted using mahogany, often embellished with boxwood or ebony stringing, paired with silvered brass scales, glass capillary tubes, and cast brass finials.

Keep the barometer strictly upright during handling to prevent mercury leakage, position it away from direct heat sources, and dust the cabinet exterior gently with a soft dry cloth.

Mount the instrument vertically on a narrow wall space, hallway alcove, or within a study alongside traditional artwork and dark timber furnishings.

Authentic pieces feature hand-engraved registration plates, original mercury-filled capillary tubes, period-appropriate timber patination, and maker signatures referencing late 18th-century instrument makers.
