FAQs

A wheel barometer, often referred to as a banjo barometer due to its distinctive shape, is an instrument designed in the late 18th century to measure atmospheric pressure using a mercury column connected to a dial via a float and wheel mechanism.

These instruments typically feature cases crafted from timbers such as mahogany or rosewood, fitted with silvered brass dials, mercury-filled glass siphon tubes, and decorative brass fitments.

Authentic 19th-century examples usually possess hand-engraved silvered brass dials, mercury glass tubes, makers signatures on the spirit level plate or main dial, and period-correct joinery with natural surface patination.

A mahogany wheel barometer functions as a striking vertical feature when mounted on a narrow accent wall, positioned within a hallway gallery layout, or hung above a sideboard alongside framed botanical prints.

Keep the timber case dust-free using a soft cloth and apply beeswax periodically, while avoiding exposure to direct heat or sunlight and keeping the casing upright to prevent disruption to the internal glass tube.
