OUTSTANDING WHEEL BANJO BAROMETER - James  Gatty gatty   barometer wheel %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
I have decided to dispose of this magnificent barometer which has been part of my private collection and has taken over 30 years to acquire.The photographs are quite poor and the item looks much better in the flesh.
This instrument was made by one of the foremost makers of his time -James Gatty,132,High Holborn,London who was one of the earliest Italian immigrant makers who set up business at least by 1780 and this particular item as made not long after this date.
Barometers by this maker are always of high quality but even by his high standards this example is exceptional.
This instrument cannot be compared to the 1820s Sheraton barometer which are now available for a few hundred but will certainly be appreciated by the connoisseurs who will realise how exceptional this barometer is.
The proportions and overall quality are excellent but is has the very rare features of a long brass thermometer housing that is hinged and opens.The brass bezel to the 8 inch engraved dial also has the same feature.
At the top of the barometer is an adjustable hygrometer (adjusting knob accidentally not photographed but present).
The sides are veneered horizontally and the edges are dot dash strung.
It is veneered in the finest Cuban mahogany and inlaid with fans.
The quality extends to the rear of the instrument with brass hooks and eyes used to close the rear door.
It is in excellent condition having been expertly renovated many years ago upon my acquisition.
It is 38 inches long,9 3/4 inches at its widest point and the carcase is almost 2 inches deep.
Interested parties are encouraged to view this very fine barometer
