專家說明

Although the style of this barometer, with its Gothic and Rococo features, is more typical of earlier designs (Macquoid and Edwards suggest a date of 1745), it is likely to have been made in the late 18th or early 19th Century. Clock and barometer case designs tended to lag behind those of furniture, especially outside London. Edwin Banfield records an S. Tod working in Edinburgh circa 1800-1820 who could well have been working earlier.
