Dealers Notes

Our stock includes early oak and walnut furniture from the 18th century, as well as more formal pieces from the Georgian period. Clocks, barometers and globes are complemented by Colonial cabinets, furniture and early arms. Their scientific instruments, which include early microscopes, telescopes and equipment such as sextants, provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of technology, whilst demonstrating fine artistry and craftsmanship. One of Hansord’s many exhibitions was entitled ‘From simplicity to complexity with a little eccentricity’ and this continues to be the guiding mantra behind their collection today.

This Regency period stick barometer dates from the early 19th century and is made of mahogany with ebony inlay, glass, bone, and brass components in a dark brown colour. The instrument has a bow fronted flame mahogany case, a swanneck pediment with a central brass finial, and chamfered sides featuring ebony fluted inlay. Silvered scales are signed Bate, London, and sit above a long thermometer tube and an urn shaped cistern cover at the base. The piece measures 106 cm high, 12 cm wide, and 8 cm deep. In a modern interior, this barometer suits placement on a narrow wall space in a hallway, study, or drawing room. It hangs vertically to provide a functional weather-measuring instrument and a decorative antique wooden wall feature that complements traditional and classic period decor.

FAQs

A stick barometer is a wall-mounted instrument featuring a vertical tube filled with mercury, designed to measure atmospheric pressure to forecast weather changes. Popularised throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these linear barometers featured decorative timber cases and engraved scale plates.

Early nineteenth-century stick barometers typically feature solid or veneered mahogany cases, a glass mercury tube, and engraved silvered brass or bone register plates. Decorative components often include turned wood urn covers, brass finials, and secondary glass thermometer tubes.

Authentic Regency stick barometers usually display slender proportions, bow-front or flat trunk profiles, and fine mahogany veneers. Look for original engraved maker signatures on the upper register plate, traditional mercury tube mountings, and hand-cut dovetail or mortise-and-tenon case joinery.

A mahogany stick barometer serves as an ideal vertical accent piece on narrow walls, inside hallway nooks, or beside doorway casings. Pair it with classical furniture, framed topographical prints, or muted wall colours to highlight its warm timber tones and historic scientific character.

Keep the instrument strictly vertical and away from direct heat sources, draughts, or high vibration areas to avoid damage to the glass tube. Dust the mahogany case gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes near the delicate register plate.
