A beautiful, mid-20th-century marine-style aneroid barometer, styled after a ship's porthole window. This distinctive maritime instrument is heavily chrome-plated and features an authentic working hinged bezel secured by a screw-down toggle lock. The barometer is inset into a thick, premium black leather-padded circular base with decorative perimeter stitching, making it perfect for desk display or wall mounting. The deep black dial face showcases highly stylized white lettering and an elegant central compass rose motif. The outer atmospheric scale measures barometric pressure in inches of mercury.
