About the Item

Bollenbach Barometer and Thermometer, 20th Century A stunning French-style cream-painted and gilt polychromed Directoire barometer, made in the USA in the 20th century.

Its cream-painted finish, combined with gilt polychrome accents, provides a timeless elegance that complements a variety of design styles. Whether displayed in a living room, study, or entryway, this piece serves as both a fascinating conversation starter and a beautiful decorative element. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this exquisite barometer, a perfect blend of historical allure and decorative sophistication.
