An excellent quality mahogany wheel barometer.

The dial also with a brass set hand and a blued steel indicator hand. The silvered brass thermometer scale calibrated from 0º to 110º Fahrenheit and mounted in a removable box. The brass bezel with a convex glass. The mahogany case of flame veneer and with double edge ebony and boxwood stringing. The broken swan next top with ivory paterea and a central ivory finial.
