Antique Mahogany Android Barometer
This striking mahogany android barometer features a mercury thermometer and is crafted by Matthews of Rhyl. The barometer’s design incorporates a beautifully carved case, typical of Victorian-era craftsmanship, and is intended to be wall-mounted. The android design means the barometer responds to changes in atmospheric pressure by moving an indicator within the glass tube, providing a visual reading of weather conditions.
