The bow-fronted case with good full depth 'front to back' swan neck pediment with ebony mouldings , is veneered in the finest quality flame mahogany veneers of good colour. The barometer is fitted with a glazed bowed thermometer box containing a long mercury thermometer with a brass protective cover on a well engraved plate with both Reamur and Fahrenheit scales.
The base with canted corners inlaid with ebony lines with ebony mouldings to the bottom, with the ebonised turned urn shaped cistern cover concealing the boxwood cistern.
The silvered register plates are very well engraved with a 27"-31" scale and the makers name, 'J. Newman, 122 Regent Street, London'. The plates are fitted with a rack and pinion operated vernier.
