AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A nautical-style desktop weather station, composed of three instruments in brass boxes mounted on a wooden base with metal corner brackets.
Description
Rectangular panel in mahogany-toned wood, with the four corners protected by screwed brass brackets, following the decorative language of onboard instruments ("cabin style" or "captain's"). On it align three circular boxes of solid brass, with a stepped profile (reduced cylindrical body and upper bevel), each housing a different dial:
- Barometer (left): golden sphere with scale in millibars/inches of mercury (readable range between 74 and 80) and text in Spanish — "Variable", "Buen Tiempo", "Lluvia o viento" — in Gothic typography, plus the legend "BARÓMETRO" at the base of the sphere. Fixed reference needle and movable brass needle.
- Thermometer (center): golden sphere with numeric scale from 0 to 60 (likely Celsius), without textual inscriptions, only the vegetal decorative corona repeated on the three spheres as a unifying motif of the set.
- Hygrometer (right): sphere with white background and a relative humidity scale from 0 to 100, indications "Normal" and "Humide" (in French), and a partially visible legend like "Hygromètre" with maker’s signature.
Context and valuation
The set —barometer, thermometer and hygrometer combined on a single stand— is a classic format of a "weather station" (weather station) produced throughout the 20th century for nautical and living-room decorative markets, with abundant current offerings on Catawiki and Milanuncios under this same typology. The mix of languages on the dials (Spanish in the barometer, French in the hygrometer) suggests a commercial assembly of pieces from different origins rather than an originally coordinated factory set, something quite common in this type of ensemble assembled for sale in home decor shops.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
