FAQs

A banjo barometer, also referred to as a wheel barometer, is an eighteenth and nineteenth-century wall-mounted instrument housed in a figure-eight shaped wooden casing designed to measure changes in atmospheric pressure.

These instruments were crafted using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, often adorned with marquetry inlays like boxwood or satinwood, alongside silvered brass dials, mercury-filled glass U-tubes, and cast brass bezels.

Authentic George III examples typically feature hand-engraved silvered dials with period typography, broken-arch or pediment tops, original shell or rosette marquetry inlays, and signs of age-appropriate oxidisation on the metal elements.

A vertical barometer works well in narrow architectural spaces such as hallway piers, between windows, or as part of a curated wall gallery alongside framed period prints and oil paintings.

Keep the instrument hung strictly upright in a climate-controlled area away from direct heat sources and sunlight, dusting the wooden case gently with a soft dry cloth while avoiding liquid cleaners on the silvered dial.
