Antique Barometer, Georgian style, Oak, with Thermometer

Description

Georgian Style Oak Wall Barometer with Thermometer Antique Architectural Case.

This finely crafted Georgian-style wall barometer exemplifies the enduring influence of classical architectural design on late Victorian and Edwardian scientific instruments. The substantial oak case is designed in the manner of a miniature temple façade, featuring fluted pillars, geometric inlay detail, and a broken pediment crowning the composition.

The circular brass-cased barometer dial is neatly set behind glazing, while the mercury thermometer is housed below within a vertically framed aperture, providing both functional clarity and visual balance. The warm tones of the figured oak contrast elegantly with the polished brass elements, creating a striking decorative presence suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Barometers of this type were highly prized domestic instruments, combining scientific utility with refined cabinet-making. This example reflects the quality craftsmanship associated with English makers of the period and remains an excellent decorative and functional object.

A distinguished piece for collectors of antique scientific instruments, period interiors, or architectural decorative arts.
