A French Art Deco wooden barometer and thermometer panel with carved roses, dating from 1930–1940.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Cut roses follow the full length of this Art Deco panel, from the rosette at the top to the large rose at the bottom. On either side of the thermometer is a rose; at the bottom runs a border of flowers and leaves. The ogive shape with stepped shoulders keeps the line narrow and high. The reddish-brown wood carries the carving; the brass bezel and the white thermometer scale provide light accents.

Description:
An ogive-shaped panel with stepped shoulders, 52 centimeters high and 22.5 centimeters wide. The French dial shows Beau temps, Tendance and Pluie ou vent. Through the open center you can see the wavy metal dose of the aneroid barometer, set in a brass bezel. The back is a flat plank with a brass hanging eye. The panel weighs 866 grams.
About the maker:
Attributed to the French tradition of carved barometer-thermometer panels: wooden wall panels in which an aneroid barometer and a thermometer are housed. This specimen follows that tradition in the Art Deco language of form.
In the interior:
In a light hall beside the front door, the brass bezel catches the daylight and the reddish-brown panel stands on the wall as a warm, high line.
