18th Century Signed Carcano & Jean-Joseph de Saint-Germain Barometer
By Jean-Joseph de Saint-Germain
Located in Forney, TX
A magnificent and impressive sized 240 year old Louis XVI period (c.1774–1793) hand carved and painted gilt wood signed French wall thermometer and barometer. Having a hand decorated enamel dial signed "Carcano" for distinguished scientific instrument inventor Antonio Carcano (c.1755-1820) and Joseph, most likely for celebrated Parisian ébéniste Jean-Joseph de Saint-Germain (c.1719 - 1791) Originating in Paris, France during the second half of the 18th century, exquisitely hand-crafted and of very fine quality, richly detailed, polychrome decorated and ornamented in sophisticated Neoclassical taste. Having an ornately carved lobbed urn with pineapple shaped finial topping a contoured and rounded solid giltwood case creating a most elegant shaped and stylized elongated banjo silhouette, garnished with a single garland openwork swag carving, over brilliant water gilded carved running ornamentation trim framing a beautifully aged and heavily distressed pale green painted finish. Muted, light and airy pale green paint color, cream, with subtle parcel gilt bronze-tone and decadent water gilt bright gold-tone raised panels and acanthus fiolate. Featuring a handblown glass thermometer retaining remnants of the original hand-painted paper label inscribed with atmospheric condition details. Over an early mercury barometer with original hand painted dial and metal hands, protected behind convex glass face. An exceedingly rare and important work, but what truly sets this fabulous example apart, is that the wooden planked verso is fitted with an open channel that retains the original mechanical components, including a pair of liquid metal mercury filled glass tubes, vacuum mechanism, long column blown glass tube, stringing, and more. It does not appear to be currently working, the string/rope deteriorating with age, etc.. but having the original parts is an exceptionally rare occurrence and highly unusual, as workings were commonly damaged and lost centuries ago. The dial is signed: "Josef" "Carcano" "Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis" (the artisans workshop was located on this street in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. Historically, this street was an extremely weathy upper-class area, occupied by the finest jewellers and textile merchants) "Fripiere Au Phenix" History: Antoine Carcano (c. 1755-1820) An early maker of barometers, thermometers, and an inventor of various scientific instruments. Of Italian descent, he became famous in Paris, first at 37 rue de la Roquette and then at Place Dauphine. He supplied barometers and other scientific instruments to the Ecole Militaire in 1786; the following year he supplied a tube barometer to British optical instruments manufacturer Peter Dollond (1731-1821). During the Empire his clientele included Sir Benjamin Thompson...
