Fabulous antique Black Forest wall barometer and thermometer.
This good size and finest quality carved barometer could be the perfect Black Forest antique to grace your home or lodge.

For an artist to be able to hand-carve all these hunting elements in such details and with such perfection is something that never ceases to amaze us.
