FAQs

A stick barometer is a wall-mounted meteorological instrument developed in the seventeenth century that measures atmospheric pressure using a mercury-filled glass tube encased in a narrow wooden housing.

These instruments were manufactured using solid mahogany or walnut framing, silvered brass or metal register plates, hand-blown glass mercury tubes, and brass urn or ball finials.

Period examples display maker signatures engraved on the upper register plate, hand-cut joinery on the wooden casing, mercury tubes attached via brass straps, and period-accurate brass hardware.

Position the instrument vertically on a narrow wall space, within a gallery wall arrangement, or beside a doorway to highlight its linear profile alongside contemporary furnishings.

Keep the instrument in an upright position to prevent air lock within the glass tube, avoid direct heat sources, and wipe the wooden casing gently using a dry microfibre cloth and natural beeswax.
