FAQs

A wheel barometer, often referred to as a banjo barometer due to its distinctive shape, is a wall-mounted instrument created during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to measure atmospheric pressure using a mercury tube linked to a dial pulley system.

These instruments typically feature mahogany or rosewood veneered cases decorated with ebony or boxwood stringing, fitted with silvered brass dials, blown glass tubes, and brass bezels.

Authentic period examples feature hand-engraved silvered brass dials, mercury-filled glass tubes, period maker signatures on the spirit level plate, and age-consistent patination on the timber and metal components.

An antique barometer functions well as a focal vertical accent on a narrow wall, in a hallway, or placed above a sideboard, introducing warm timber tones and historical interest to a contemporary scheme.

Keep the timber case away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer movement, wipe the glass and brass bezels with a dry soft cloth, and always store or mount the unit upright to prevent mercury spillage.
