The barometer by the renowned Negretti & Zambra, a classic round barometer in an oak case, crafted between 1890 and 1920, embodies the traditions of British craftsmanship and royal elegance. The solid oak case lends the piece not only solidity but also a timeless natural beauty. A brass bezel harmoniously frames the dial, creating a warm contrast with the sturdy oak, while the flat beveled glass completes the composition, adding a touch of refinement and precision to the barometer.

The cardboard dial is adorned with the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom, bestowing the barometer with a sense of grandeur and highlighting its connection to royal history. The engraving on the dial features a mixture of Roman and Gothic capital letters, displaying the standard weather indications. The scale in London inches of mercury adds functionality and precision to this elegant instrument.

This barometer represents the fusion of classic aesthetics and precise engineering, making it not just a functional tool, but a work of art worthy of the attention of collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
