Offered for your consideration is this handsome antique English barometer. This dial of this piece is marked A. An internet search revealed that his full name was Alfred Daniel Buchanan b. He was born in Cumberland, England and worked as a watch, clock and barometer maker in Boston (England) from 1835 to 1841, before changing professions to dentistry/surgery. As you can see, this is quite a lovely barometer, the case for which features inlays including Mother of Pearl (MOP) as well as some stencil decorations. This is a fairly large piece, standing approximately 42″ high by 13″ wide. As one might expect with a barometer of this age, there is some loss to the inlays/decorations, though the overall aesthetic is quite strong. I have not tested the barometer. Track Page Views With.
