Finding the Right Scientific Instruments for You
Decorating with vintage, new and antique scientific instruments, as well as other authentic collectibles and curiosities that can be found on 1stDibs, presents an opportunity to create a unique, natural history museum-like atmosphere in your home that can provoke conversation as often as it pays tribute to how far we’ve come in understanding our world.
The Age of Discovery (or the Age of Exploration) refers to a period during the 15th to 18th centuries that saw Europeans taking to the high seas to explore, trade and conquer various regions of the world. What we know about geography, the advancement of sea vessels and the development of scientific instruments all broadened significantly during this time.
With every new finding about our world, scientists invented tools to measure and record. While many of these objects are now obsolete, they are essentially works of art and have a rich history. Scientific instruments of a bygone era represent how far science and technology have advanced.
If you’re interested in introducing antique scientific instruments and tools to your decor to add contrast or draw attention to otherwise unexplored corners of your living room or dining room, there are many options to consider as far as textures and colors go. Like any curious decorative object that draws attention to your home library or mantel, vintage scientific instruments will likely add spirit to any conversation that might take place over cocktails or dinner.
Create an intriguing focal point with Georgian scientific instruments, such as stick barometers with mahogany cases or lacquered brass telescopes. These items stem from an era named for the monarchies of the four King Georges, who ruled England in succession starting in 1714 (plus King William’s reign, which lasted until 1837). Just as there was beautiful jewelry produced during the period that today is coveted by collectors, there is much to be found in the collectibles and curiosities realm too.
Mid-century modern scientific instruments also capture a period of rapid progress, representing groundbreaking discoveries that defined the 20th century. Wouldn’t antique anatomical models of the 1950s pair well with your eye-catching abstract paintings, George Nelson clock or Florence Knoll sofa?
Whether you’re looking for a way to showcase your passion for chemistry or aviation or are making room in your foyer for a breathtaking industrial-style electronic time tower manufactured by Patek Philippe, 1stDibs offers a collection of vintage, new and antique scientific instruments that includes topographic tools, laboratory equipment and more.
Questions About Antique
Vintage Barometers
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A barometer is a piece of equipment used to measure the barometric pressure, also known as atmospheric pressure. A barometer typically has a gauge or screen that displays the current atmospheric pressure. Once you know the atmospheric pressure, you can predict the weather. Shop an array of barometers from top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022A barometer doesn't predict weather, it provides atmospheric pressure readings that can be used by meteorologists to make weather predictions. Antique barometers typically used mercury or an aneroid capsule made of beryllium and copper to display current air pressure readings. You'll find a variety of antique barometers on 1stDibs.
- How does a wall barometer work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021The Barometer is a scientific instrument used to measure air pressure in a certain environment. The barometer has a flattened metal cylinder that looks like a silver disc inside its construction, which is filled with a partial vacuum. As the pressure in the air increases, the disc gets crushed and as air pressure decreases the disc expands. This movement of the disc is transformed into the reading of the black barometer needle under the glass.
- How does a banjo barometer work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022A banjo barometer works because of a small capsule or box made of beryllium and copper called an aneroid. In most designs, the aneroid box or capsule was on the back. Fluctuations in air pressure would cause the shape of the box or capsule to change, and this, in turn, moved the needle on the barometer dial. Shop a range of banjo barometers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Three broad categories of barometers include cistern, angle or diagonal, and aneroid. The cistern barometer was created in the 1600s and provided a safe and portable option. An angle barometer is a modification of the original and includes a mercury cistern. The aneroid barometer didn’t rely on the expansion of liquid, rather the movement of mechanical parts. Shop a range of antique and vintage barometers on 1stDibs.
