FAQs

A banjo barometer, also known as a wheel barometer, is an 18th and 19th-century atmospheric measuring instrument housed in a wooden casing shaped like a banjo. It typically incorporates a mercury tube connected to a dial pointer alongside an integrated thermometer scale.

These instruments were predominantly crafted using polished hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, decorated with delicate marquetry inlays like boxwood or satinwood. Functional elements comprised blown glass mercury tubes, cast brass bezels, and engraved silvered brass dial faces.

Authentic period examples feature hand-engraved silvered dials, original mercury-filled glass columns, and detailed shell or urn marquetry inlays. Maker signatures were frequently engraved directly onto the dial face or glass register plate, accompanied by age-consistent patination on the timber.

Mount the instrument in an entryway, above a console table, or within a gallery wall of framed prints to introduce historical interest. Its slender vertical profile makes it particularly suited for narrow wall spaces between doorways or windows.

Keep the wooden casing away from direct heat sources and excessive humidity, dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying natural beeswax sparingly. Exercise caution around mercury-filled components, ensuring the instrument remains upright during transport to avoid air entering the column.
