Early 20th-century metal ebulioscope by Levesque, an antique scientific instrument offered for decorative display.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique ebullioscope, from the Levesque brand, made in France, in the 1920s. The ebullioscope is in reasonable condition, considering that it is about 130 years old; however it is sold only for decorative purposes, as I think some parts are missing (see photos).

The ebullioscope is an ancient scientific instrument used to measure the alcohol content of wine by its boiling point. It was a device widely used in enology (wine analysis) from the late 19th century to the first half of the 20th century and was invented by Louis Levesque, a French chemist and oenologist of the late 19th century.
The ebullioscope became popular in the early 20th century, especially among wine-analysis laboratories and French tax authorities, because it allowed rapid and relatively precise control of the alcohol content in wines and distilled beverages.
