FAQs

A banjo barometer, also known as a wheel barometer, is an eighteenth and nineteenth-century wall-mounted instrument featuring a figure-eight shaped timber casing housing a barometric dial and often an upper thermometer tube.

Victorian barometers were typically constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, fitted with engraved silvered brass dials, glass tubing, and cast brass bezels.

Authentic Victorian examples feature hand-engraved silvered dials, mercury or spirit thermometer scales, hand-carved scroll or swan-neck pediments, and age-appropriate oxidisation on brass components.

Mount the instrument vertically on a narrow wall space, incorporate it into a hallway gallery wall, or display it above a sideboard to add historic texture and functional wall art to a room scheme.

Position the wooden casing away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage, and clean the glass and brass bezel gently using a dry microfibre cloth.
