Description from the seller
This mercury wall barometer dates from the early 20th century, a period when domestic meteorological instruments were highly prized in European bourgeois households.
It is crafted in solid carved wood, dark wood color, with architectural details inspired by the neoclassical style.
It combines a barometer and an integrated, numbered thermometer, with a polished brass dial and a precise needle mechanism.
This scientific and decorative instrument was intended to be placed in living rooms or entry halls, a symbol of refinement and modernity.
Condition: Very good, to be hung, with original dials intact.
The sculptures and the wood display a natural patina that enhances its authenticity.
Dimensions: Height 56 cm
Materials: Solid wood, metal (barometer), glass (dial)
Type of barometer: Mercury
Highly sought after by collectors of antique scientific instruments, enthusiasts of horology and meteorology, as well as interior designers who appreciate the Victorian and Art Nouveau aesthetics.
Its artisanal quality and preserved functioning make it a desirable decorative piece.
Fast and careful shipping.
