Antique 1800s Wall Barometer & Thermometer by Francis M. Moore of Belfast/Dublin

An exceptional, highly collectible 1800s Francis M Moore barometer-thermometer. Moores were a generational family of scientific instrument makers in Belfast and later Dublin in the 1700s and 1800s specializing in instruments for ships. Francis M was appointed Maker to the Lords of the Admiralty. An exceptional decorative antique as it is, it would require attention to be a working barometer.

As a thermometer it reads 2 degrees high. Believed to be walnut with beveled glass. 15.5" across -- 4" deep -- 15 lbs. My neighbor's great grandfather was a sea captain who brought this when he emigrated from the British Isles.

I've had it since 2007. Two family ownership, his and mine. All my photos and scans are the actual item for sale. I don't use packing peanuts - recyclers hate them, and they never decompose.

Two guidelines we use: We don't say it's antique unless we believe it is over 99 years old. The only exceptions are motor vehicles, boats, radios, and phonographs which are ruled by a different convention. In a collectibles industry filled with frauds and fools we are never the first and seldom the second. Lost in transit = 0 (Because we pound them and pound them to FIND IT).
