AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Mercury Torricelli-type barometer with thermometer on wooden board and brass - 70's/80's
Description
Elegant and imposing wall-mounted mercury barometer built according to the Torricelli principle, mounted on an elegant solid wood plaque with a shaped walnut finish and a front brass plaque finely engraved in French ("Baromètre Selon Torricelli" and "Thermomètre Centigrade").
The instrument is equipped with a glass capillary siphon tube containing liquid mercury, alongside a graduated barometric scale with altitude and pressure indications, as well as an integrated centigrade thermometer.
Conditions: Excellent aesthetic and conservation state for the wooden part and brass components. Please note that the mercury column in the glass tube shows interruptions (air bubbles), therefore the instrument is sold as a vintage decorative object. The thermometer is perfectly functional.
Dimensions indicated: Height about 100 cm, width 14 cm.
