M. C. Taylor has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
The eight day duration clock movement with original platform escapement. Contained within a brass chart drum with lid and hinged chart retaining clip.
Mounted upon a grained brass platform and also having an ink bottle seating tube.
Contained within a well made mahogany case of good colour and retaining its original French polish. The lift-off top cover having five substantial and bevelled glass panels and the base having a double chart drawer and wide moulded throat - the front bearing an ivorine maker's plate with the engraved inscription "PILLISCHER. OPTICAL & SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT MAKER. NEW BOND ST. LONDON. W." Also having flat corner feet.
This is a very original example of its type and in exceptional condition. The brass components are in fine condition and the French polish to the case is original and has cleaned well. The maker, Moritz Pillischer was very successful and traded from 88 New Bond Street from 1854 until 1887.
A barograph gives you the best of both worlds - not only is it a working aneroid barometer that records the trend in ink on a weekly chart but, it is also an eight day timepiece that also indicates the day and time by the point of the nib on the chart. Barographs are an interesting and attractive addition to any home.
This barograph is in excellent condition with a full set of charts. It is in good working order but has not been overhauled by us. Any work/overhaul (with full guarantee) required will incur a further charge and can be discussed with us.
The price is for the barograph in its present and working condition.
