About the Item

This elegant 19th-century French barometer is a beautifully crafted antique weather instrument housed in an octagonal giltwood frame. The aged patina of the gold-leaf frame enhances its antique charm, with delicate decorative carvings adorning the edges. The face of the barometer features classic French script, indicating various weather conditions such as “Tempête” (stormy), “Pluie ou Vent” (rain or wind), “Variable,” and “Beau Temps” (fair weather). A finely detailed compass rose sits at the center, adding to the instrument’s refined aesthetic. The glass cover protects the dial, preserving its historical character. This barometer is not only a functional piece but also a stunning decorative accent, perfect for collectors of scientific instruments or those looking to add a touch of French sophistication to their interior decor.
