Leech - Chelmsford
Most impressive and
unusual Regency satinwood Wheel Barometer; with
'break-arch' pediment over case of finely patinated
satinwood, with cross-grained sides, chequer
strung, inlaid with twin ‘star’
paterae and most unusually with quarter fans.
The case inset with large finely engraved silvered
brass Fahrenheit thermometer with floral decoration
and 10-inch diameter signed barometer dial signed.
'Leech' remains a mystery - almost certainly
the first buyer, probably a resident of Chelmsford.
