A rare oak cased mercury and glycerine long range barometer Negretti and Zambra, London, circa 1885 The ceramic scale inscribed NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA, LONDON, GLYCERINE & MERCURY, LONG RANGE BAROMETER to upper margin over visible glycerine filled tube and scale calibrated in reverse from 28 to 31 inches amplified over a distance of 25.5 inches divided into hundredths and with weather observations, the lower section with hipped panel applied with a mercury Fahrenheit and Centigrade scale thermometer set within ogee moulded frame with cavetto moulded pediment and canted skirt base, 108cm (42.5ins) high. The firm of Negretti & Zambra are recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as being established in 1850 when a partnership between Enrico Negretti and Joseph Warren Zambra was formed. The firm became one of the most prolific makers of scientific instruments and continued trading well into the 20th century. The current lot was devised in around 1880 by Negretti and Zambra and is essentially constructed as a mercury and glycerine double-tube or contra-barometer but with only the glycerine filled section visible. Inside the case is a sealed mercury syphon tube of larger bore with the second visible glycerine filled (narrower-bore) column formed as an extension to the concealed open end of the mercury syphon. The unequal capacities of the two tubes together with the difference in specific gravity of mercury and glycerine results in a substantial amplification of the scale allowing the level to be read to one-hundredth of an inch without a Vernier.

A fine Victorian oxidised brass Newman type mercury station barometer Negretti and Zambra, London, circa 1870 Constructed with two square section uprights joined at the top with a D-shaped section inset with silvered plate engraved Negretti & Zambra, 1 Hatton Garden, 122 Regent Street, 59 Cornhill, 153 Fleet Street, LONDON over central tube flanked by silvered scales calibrated in millimetres and barometric inches with rack and pinion adjusted Vernier slide between, the base with substantial cylindrical cistern incorporating glazed collar between screw-clamped collars to upper section, the instrument suspended via pivoted joint from a scroll-cast bracket with conforming steady bracket to base inside a glazed mirror-backed wall case with hinged front door secured by brass thumb catches, (mercury removed), 128.5cm (50.625ins) high. Provenance: The interior of the case is applied with a paper label typed BAROMETER, Presented by, HERMAN BICKNELL, January 1873. Herman Bicknell was a surgeon, orientalist, linguist and an intrepid traveller and he was one of the first Englishman to penetrate Mecca as detailed in his account published in The Times of August 25th 1862. The general form of the current instrument was derived by John Frederick Newman who is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working from 122 Regent Street, London 1827-62. Banfield states that Newman made standard and portable barometers for the Ross Antarctic Expedition and his meteorological station barometers were installed throughout the British Empire. Newman barometers of this design usually incorporated movable scales to allow calibration against the mercury level in the cistern which may vary very slightly with changes in temperature. Newman’s business was taken over by Negretti & Zambra in 1862 who Banfield records as being established in 1850 when a partnership between Enrico Negretti and Joseph Warren Zambra was formed. The firm became one of the most prolific makers of scientific instruments and continued trading well into the 20th century.
