This 20th-century replica of an 18th-century mercury stick barometer is a stunning piece. Housed in a mahogany case with a broken pediment and brass finial, this barometer exudes elegance. The rectangular glazed door opens to reveal a silvered register complete with a vernier recording pointer, an engraved scale, and predictions.
Not only does this barometer serve a practical function, but it also features a spirit thermometer that records the temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. The full-length visible bulb cistern and circular base, enclosed within a turned cover, add to the barometer's charm and functionality.
This exquisite piece is perfect for collectors of scientific instruments or those with a penchant for vintage decor. Don't miss the chance to bid on this exceptional item at the upcoming auction at Duggleby Auctioneers.
