Sleeping Beauty - Late 18th.c. Oak Dresser Base.

It seems suprising that Welsh dressers still turn up in unrestored condition but here is proof they do. This superb late 18th.c. oak dresser base with beautifully shaped 'slap on' panels typical of North Wales is a new arrival here at the shop today. It has obviously been neglected for some time but, remarkably, retains all its original handles and is of excellent colour and patina, especially on the top. Cleaned, waxed and with a little sympathetic restoration this sleeping beauty will awaken, ready to receive the attention it deserves!

Admiral Fitzroy Barometer

This late Victorian oak cased Fitzroy barometer is new in the shop this afternoon. A mercury barometer with two adjustable markets is accompanied by a thermometer and chemical storm glass. The back of the case carries various of the Admiral's observations on falling and rising mercury which can be used to predict the weather.
Admiral Robert Fitzroy (1805-1865) was one of the most remarkable men of his generation. Made captain of The Beagle aged just 23, he was accompanied on his second voyage to survey the Southern reaches of the South American continent by Charles Darwin. Later in his career he became the founding head of what became the meterological office, charged with collecting and collating information which would help forcast the weather - a crucial advance for a country so reliant on maritime trade. Following the wrecking of the Royal Charter of the coast of Anglesey in 1859 Fitzroy barometers, complete with his observations were stationed at most ports and fishing harbours to be consulted by capatins before setting out. In the 1860's the telegraph system was used to bring Fitzroy news of the weather from across the country and the first daily forecasts began to be carried in The Times.
