Exceptionally rare “gimballed” barograph by Negretti & Zambra, we suspect it was used onboard a ship and may have been a special order for an expedition…if only it could speak!
£680.00
In nearly Forty Years of dealing with these types of instruments we have not come across a gimballed version and cannot find any examples in reference books or online. There are of course gimballed barometers for ships but not barographs. It is slightly smaller than usual which all ties in with or suspicion of being an expedition ships piece.
N&Z were very well respected maker’s and were Officials of the Great Exhibition and went onto sponsor all types of explorations to far flung parts of the globe.
Fully restored working order with key and chart.
