Antique, circa 1900, carved oak & brass bezel aneroid barometer purchased in England in the 1990s. It is no longer working properly.

 

The solid oak wood case has a rope carved border. The thick, beveled glass face is in excellent shape and is held by a sound brass bezel. The porcelain dial with detailed printing and lovely decorative flourishes is in great condition. It also has its original hands and brass hanging fitting on the back. The barometer can be adjusted by means of the screw located through the little hole in the back. The barometer wood casing is 10 inches in diameter and 2.75 inches tall. The glass display window is 8 inches in diameter.

Photos 9.10.11 show the brass bezel. There is a crack on the left in photo, there since I purchased it. On the right is the seam where ends meet.

I enjoyed having this nautical themed barometer in our Pensacola Beach front condo. It worked for years, accurately predicting weather changes. I admit that it was I who painted it white--in the late 90's, I used white and blue everywhere! The barometer has been stored in a box in an interior closet since about 2003 and, as stated, is no longer working.

 

This is a handsome barometer to display even if you do not repair the works.

The barometer is heavy, over 5 1/2 lbs., plus there is the weight of a large, padded box, so the shipping is higher. I can usually ship in 1-3 days though I have stated 5 to be sure.
