BAROMETER  BY  BERGE  OF  LONDON
BAR101

M. (Matthew) Berge recorded working in 1800 (died 1819) was an optical, mathematical and philosphical instrument maker at 199 Piccadilly. He took over the business of Jesse Ramsden in Piccadilly when Ramsden died in 1800.

Berge made stick and marine barometers and some are signed "Berge London, late Ramsden". He was, no doubt, trading on the very high reputation that Ramsden had built up over the years

   
"Flat to the wall" bow front stick barometers of the late 18th and early 19th century
are among the finest produced and most sought after. This is one such.
