18th Century French Giltwood and Ebonized Barometer with Floral Crest

About the Item

A magnificent 18th-century French barometer showcasing a masterful combination of giltwood and ebonized wood. The elegant frame features intricate hand-carved detailing, including a decorative crest adorned with a floral motif, leafy garlands, and classical elements. The ebonized finish provides a striking contrast to the gilded accents, highlighting the exquisite craftsmanship. The barometer retains its original painted dial, with beautifully inscribed weather indicators in French, such as "Pluie" (Rain), "Variable," and "Très Sec" (Very Dry). The accompanying thermometer, housed in a rectangular frame above the dial, adds to its functional and decorative appeal. With its timeless design, this piece would have been a luxurious and practical addition to a sophisticated French interior during the 18th century.
