Exceptional George II Walnut Stick Barometer.
Anonymous. c.1730-40.
A very rare George II stained walnut stick barometer of exceptional quality.
The 'flat to wall' case, of fine colour and finish, is veneered in walnut with a moulded arched top and three brass ball and spire finials. The very fine and unusual features that show the high quality and rarity of this piece are the pierced lattice work cover that disguises the mercury tube fitted the front of the case and the finely carved gadrooned cistern cover. The engraved and silvered scales are fitted with a manual vernier with pivoting sickle shaped pointer and are protected by a hinged glazed brass door.
As is common with barometers from this period, the engraved silvered scale plate is unsigned, very few pre 1750 barometers were signed.
Height 40". Unless otherwise stated all barometer prices include local delivery (50 miles). We deliver personally throughout the country, please contact us for prices excluding delivery or to discuss delivery further than 50 miles.
