The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A wheel barometer, often referred to as a banjo barometer due to its distinctive shape, is a wall-mounted instrument developed in the 18th and 19th centuries that records atmospheric pressure using a mercury-filled glass tube connected to a pulley system and circular dial.

These instruments were typically crafted with polished hardwood cases such as mahogany or walnut, featuring silvered brass dials, glass covers, brass bezels, and mercury-filled glass tubing.

Authentic pieces feature engraved silvered brass dials with historical weather terminology, hand-carved pediments or detailing, original glass elements, and occasionally maker signatures engraved on the main dial or spirit level.

Display the item vertically on a narrow accent wall, within a gallery display of framed art, or above a hallway console table to add historic architectural character to a contemporary space.

Keep the timber case dusted using a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners on silvered dials. Keep the instrument upright during transport and position it away from direct heat sources and severe humidity fluctuations.
