Description

As with all of my stock, I am open to offers..

A GEORGE III WALNUT AND CHEQUER OUTLINED STICK BAROMETER

The arched pediment above glazed panel door with signed silvered scale and vernier, above the trunk with exposed tube and domed reservoir cover.

Probably the most distinctive of the Ortelli stick barometers. Signed N.Ortelly & Co., Macclesfield and datable to circa 1810. Walnut veneer laid in herringbone pattern, with rope inlay to shaft and around door - making it less common. Vernier and (replacement) alcohol thermometer, brass finial; original cistern cover most unusually inlaid with floral motif. 95cm. The engraving is unusual because while the town name is elegantly engraved in cursive script, the Ortelli name looks somewhat more crude.

Ivory certificate No XWDX5MUM

Date of Manufacture

Buckingham Interiors has dated this Antique Stick Barometer to the 1800s.

FAQs

A George III stick barometer is a meteorological instrument produced during the reign of King George III, featuring a long vertical wooden trunk enclosing a mercury-filled tube to measure atmospheric pressure.

These instruments typically utilise solid timber foundations such as mahogany or walnut, often enhanced with veneering, stringing or chequer banding, paired with an exposed glass tube and brass vernier scales.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the secondary woods, hand-cut brass screws, engraved silvered brass scale plates, and the makers signature inscribed on the dial plate or cistern cover.

A stick barometer serves as a vertical accent piece, mounting cleanly against panelled walls or within traditional study spaces to introduce historical texture and functional design.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity and temperature, keeping the instrument out of direct sunlight, and consulting a professional restorer if the mercury column requires resetting.
