Rare and impressive mahogany 'Improved Marine' stick barometer by John Carter, London.c.1850.
The finely turned barley twist, reeded mahogany case with gadrooned top and bottom is worked to the highest standard.
The recessed mercury thermometer is mounted on engraved bone plate and marked with both Reamur and Fahrenheit scales. A very unusual feature of this barometer is that rather than a single scale it is fitted with two angled register plates which record the pressure for '10Am Today' and '10Am Yesterday' with double rack and pinion operated verniers. The plates are marked 'Improved Marine' and signed 'Carter, London'.
The original constricted marine tube is fitted with a boxwood cistern and protected by the weighted brass cistern cover. Mounted in good quality replacement brass gimbals.

John Carter was a noted leading man in mid 19th century London, Master of The Clockmaker's Company three times and Lord Mayor of London 1859-60 and Fellow of The Royal Astronomical Society. (Please visit our main website for an interesting short history on his life).

Height 38".
