FAQs

A Georgian banjo barometer, also known as a wheel barometer, is an 18th-century wall-mounted instrument shaped like a banjo that measures atmospheric pressure using a mercury tube connected to a dial mechanism.

These instruments are constructed with mahogany or rosewood veneered timber casings, silvered brass dials, blown glass mercury tubes, and cast brass bezels.

Authentic period examples feature hand-engraved silvered dials, original mercury-filled glass thermometer tubes, joinery construction inside the timber housing, and natural patination across brass and wood components.

A banjo barometer is suited for display on a narrow wall space, integrated within a gallery wall of framed prints, or hung vertically in an entryway or hallway.

Keep the barometer upright at all times to prevent mercury spillage, clean timber surfaces with a soft dry cloth, and avoid mounting near direct heat sources or direct sunlight.
