FAQs

A Georgian wheel barometer is a wall-mounted weather instrument housed in a shaped wooden case, typically banjo-shaped, designed to measure atmospheric pressure changes using a mercury tube and pulley mechanism.

These instruments were predominantly crafted using figured mahogany or walnut veneers, silvered brass dials, blown glass tubes containing mercury or spirit, and cast brass bezels and finials.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-engraved dial plates, natural age-related oxidisation on metal components, original mercury or spirit thermometers, and joinery techniques typical of late 18th and early 19th-century cabinetmaking.

A classic wheel barometer functions exceptionally well when hung on a narrow wall space, within a gallery wall arrangement, or above a sideboard alongside framed art and dark wood furnishings.

Dust the timber case gently with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a beeswax polish sparingly, taking care to clean glass panels with a dry glass cloth while avoiding liquid cleaners near the dial and mechanism.
