A fine George II mahogany cistern tube stick barometer Edward Scarlett, London, circa 1740. The arch-top caddy moulded case with silvered vernier scale and bayonet shaped tube above trunk applied with tall arched silvered scale mercury thermometer signed Scarlett Fecit to upper edge calibrated in unusual units with 0 rated as temperate and with sliding brass pointer above shaped base with spiral volute turned inverted vase shaped cistern cover which also conceals thermometer bulb, 91cm high, B.C. Ref. 6. Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Stick or Cistern Tube page 43. Edward Scarlett is recorded by Banfield as born circa 1688 and died in 1743. He worked from the sign of Archimedes and Globe, near St Anns Church, Soho, London from circa 1700 and, according to a trade card, was Optician to King George II. The thermometer scale does not seem to conform to any known recognised units from this period and may have been devised by Edward Scarlett for use on his own instruments. The work of Edward Scarlett is further described in Goodison, Nicholas English BAROMETERS 1680-1860 Part II Some Important Makers and Retailers pages 237-239.
