A very rare walnut and ivory-inlaid signpost barometer This extraordinary angle barometer is quite unlike anything we have seen before. The scales are engraved with the most delightful text, the only other barometer we can find that uses the same engraving is on the royal angle barometer by Daniel Quare in the Royal Collection at Hampton Court. The engraving in the little demi-lune windows change depending on which direction you adjust the sliding pointers by twiddling the brass knobs on the left.
