FAQs

The stick barometer was developed in the 17th century following Evangelista Torricellis discovery of the principle of the barometer in 1643, evolving from marine and domestic scientific instruments into refined decorative pieces for the home by the Georgian and Victorian eras.

Traditional stick barometers were constructed using dense hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut for the trunk and cistern cover, featuring ivory or porcelain scale plates, brass indicators, and glass tubing containing liquid mercury.

Authentic period pieces typically display hand-blown glass tubes, engraved bone or ivory scale plates, hand-cut brass verniers, and cabinet-grade timber construction showing appropriate age-related patina, oxidisation, and hand-cut joinery.

A stick barometer functions as a vertical architectural element and is traditionally mounted in entrance halls, studies, or libraries alongside period artwork or wood panelling to introduce historical depth and academic character.

Barometers should be mounted securely on interior walls away from direct sunlight and major heat sources to protect the wooden housing, and if containing mercury, must be handled with extreme care during any relocation.
