AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Characterful Lufft wall-mounted barometer with thermometer – carved wooden housing – circa 1900–1925
A stylish weather instrument with a beautiful appearance! This wall barometer combines a warm brown wooden wall board with richly carved ornaments and a striking open dial. The visible mechanism offers a remarkable glimpse into the technology behind the instrument.
The elongated housing has a handsome symmetric structure, with graceful scrolls, geometric accents and a floral rosette beneath the round barometer. The lively wood grain and dark recessed details give the whole piece warmth and depth.
German instrument making with Dutch dial
On the back metal there is the mark of Lufft. This German company was founded in 1881 in Stuttgart by Gotthilf Lufft and built a long tradition in meteorological measuring instruments.
The dial bears the Dutch weather indications “Storm”, “Rain”, “Changeable”, “Nice weather” and “Very dry”. The scale runs from about 700 to 790 and is displayed in millimeters of mercury.
Above the barometer is a thermometer with both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales. Together the two instruments form a decorative whole that shows beautifully in a hall, study or classic interior.
