῀ A Barometer Restoration

This antique barometer was long overdue restoration after 262 years of touchups. It still worked and was fairly accurate, having an intricate system of mercury-filled glass tubes and pulleys inside the back panel. As supporters of the Code of Ethics set forth by the American Institute of Conservation (AIC), we restored this antique piece with as little intervention as possible.
