18th Century Pollard Oak Stick Barometer

This antique stick barometer is beautifully crafted from pollard oak, showcasing a rich, distinctive colour and grain that only improves with age. The barometer features an elegant arched top, with a hinged glazed door that encloses the mercury-action barometer tube, offering a clear view of the inner workings. On either side of the tube, there are seven weather indicators, allowing you to track atmospheric changes with ease. The barometer is proudly marked with the maker's name, Abraham Smith & Co., a well-respected name in antique instrument manufacture. In working order, this piece has been well-preserved and remains a functional tool as well as a striking decorative object. The slim profile of the case makes it suitable for a variety of spaces, while the natural beauty of the pollard oak adds a timeless charm. W 13.5cm D 5.5cm H 95cm
