Dutch oak stick barometer
This mid-20th century Dutch oak stick barometer embodies the elegance of simplicity merged with the quiet dignity of traditional craftsmanship. Its solid oak body, crowned by a broken pediment, brings a sense of classical architecture to this otherwise functional instrument. The reservoir at its base is encased in a protective box, complete with a hinged door and a magnet, a thoughtful detail that hints at the precision and care behind its design.
The silver-plated brass register plates lend a refined touch, their shimmering surfaces marked with dual scales in both millimeters of mercury and millibars, subtly bridging different measurement traditions. Alongside, a metal arrow pointer glides gracefully, guided by a pin, allowing one to observe atmospheric shifts with ease and accuracy. This barometer, with its restrained yet noble form, serves as both a scientific instrument and a quiet nod to Dutch craftsmanship, capturing a timeless dialogue between tradition and modernity.
