Item Description

For Decoration Only - A Georgian mahogany cased mercurial wheel barometer and thermometer. The barometer is engraved on the dial 'Lione & Somalvico, 125 Holborn Hill London. This address dates the barometer to 1805-1807
The case is decorated with a circular inlaid flower at the base and top and an inlaid conch shell either side of the thermometer. The edge of the barometer has a pair of line inlays of boxwood and ebony. The slim alcohol thermometer is on the Fahrenheit scale and is held against a silvered scale in a mahogany case with a glass cover. NOTE: The barometer is not working and mercury was removed when it dropped from the wall a number of years ago. It is not working and is decorative only.

They are recorded as one of the several Italian barometer makers in London at the turn of the 18th - 19th century, making "better than average" barometers.

Notes: The barometer is not working and mercury was removed when it dropped from the wall a number of years ago. It is not working and is decorative only. Top of barometer shows a small crack running down the front top section. See photo 6.
