An English walnut and brass barometer, first quarter of the 18th century
An elegant instrument that may be related to the instruments of John Patrick (fl 1686-c.1720), the first mathematical instrument maker to specialise in the production of barometers. Our example resembles the 'Single portable Barometer' shown on its advertising card circa 1710.
