Early 19th Century Mahogany Wheel Barometer by Roncoroni

19th century
Description

RONCORONI of Basingstoke: A charming early / mid 19th century WHEEL BAROMETER of pretty and compact size.

The slender case is veneered in 'flame' mahogany topped by a 'swan-neck' pediment. The slim shaped trunk supports a long convex thermometer and the main silvered barometer dial with two subsidiary silvered dials. One of which contains the engraved signature and location.

Francis RONCORONI is recorded as working at 81 High Holburn, London later moving to Basingstoke, possibly for health reasons.

Can be plugged for safe UK transportation. For overseas shipments, careful hazard packing will be required, with a professional at the other end to safely unpack and restore the mercury barometer to working order.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A wheel barometer, often referred to as a banjo barometer due to its distinctive outline, is a wall-mounted instrument developed to measure atmospheric pressure changes using a mercury capillary and a pulley system connected to a circular dial.

These instruments were constructed using dense cabinet woods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, fitted with silvered brass dials, glass mercury tubes, and brass or bone accents.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-engraved dial plates, period-appropriate timber joinery, early mercury glass tubes, and classic architectural elements like pediments and brass bezels.

A wheel barometer can be mounted on a narrow accent wall, hung above a console table, or arranged within a gallery wall alongside historical prints and architectural drawings.

The timber casing should be placed away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid cracking, while the glass and metal components require gentle dusting with a soft dry cloth.
