Early 19th Century inlaid mahogany stick barometer, the signed silvered scale with vernier, reading from 27 to 31 inches of pressure with Remarks, ethanol Fahrenheit thermometer, behind hinged glazed door with diagonal chequer stringing, the conforming trunk with exposed main tube beneath architectural 'broken' pediment, 96.5cm highThe reservoir looks to have been replaced at some point in its life. There is a loss of the slivering, two covered pinholes, and some losses to the wording on the encased panel. On the door is a small scuff mark close to the locking hook. There is a scratch on the lower part close to the reservoir and a possible replacement veneer on the other side at the same height. When checking I can see no bubbles in the mercury.
