Galileo Thermometers                                                                       ..... more indoor thermometers

A Galileo thermometer really is a working thermometer as well as an attractive piece of glassware for your home, office or conservatory. 
Galileo thermometers use a principal developed by Galileo GALILEI, the famous Italian scientist and astronomer, during the early years of the 17^th century.  Our Galileo thermometers are all hand made to the highest quality and individually adjusted.  All carry a minimum of a one year guarantee.
  
You can easily read the temperature as the glass balls rise or fall gracefully at 1 or 2°C intervals (depending on model).  Galileo thermometers make great gifts for birthdays and Christmas and are available in five sizes and five colours* , 28cm to 120cm.  Special versions are also available - see below.

The combination of shape, colour and movement in a Galileo thermometer is irresistible, but why pay inflated prices in your High Street or Garden Centre?  Give one to a friend or loved one, or just treat yourself to this fascinating thermometer with a 400+ year history at our on-line prices.
