18th Century Parisian Giltwood Barometer Thermometer
Located in Dallas, TX
This lovely giltwood barometer and thermometer was hand-carved during the Louis XVI period in Paris, France. During the late 1700’s, barometers were typically only owned by wealthy families. Over time, barometers began to be viewed as works of art and could be found in middle class homes throughout Europe.
The highly detailed crown of our apparatus depicts a footed vase bursting with a floral display. The garland trails down in an arch shape until it reaches an angular platform adorned with molding and vertical fluting. The flowered swag continues behind the platform, transitioning into a pair of gadrooned leaves. Each gadrooned leaf terminates in a husked cornucopia overflowing with laurel leaves. A large circular barometer dial is positioned in between the cornucopias.
Under the barometer is a looping lambrequin that borders the top half of the thermometer. A pair of gadrooned leaves runs behind and through the lambrequin, flanking the lower half of the thermometer. A fluted base beneath the thermometer sits in a gadrooned cup.
The detail of the carvings on this late 18th century Parisian...

19th Century Dutch Medical Apothecary Pharmacy Turned Boxwood Treen Pill Gilder
Located in Haarlem, NL
19th Century antique medical apothecary pharmacy turned treen boxwood pill gilder.
Egg or aubergine shaped boxwood turned lidded cup on a stand.
The cup and stand are made from one piece of wood, so is the lid with knob.
Pill silverers or gilders were used throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th century to finish pills with a silver or gold coating. The pharmacist would coat the pills with a liquid, placed them inside the pill gilder, filled it with silver or gold leaf or silver or gold powder, put the lid on and he would shake and spun until the pills where coated with a nice layer of silver or gold.
In the 17th, 18th and 19th century it was believed that a medicine worked better if it was coated with gold or silver. Of course, only wealthy customers could afford this expensive way of coating pills to camouflage the bitter taste of the medicine.
This nicely shaped pharmaceutical piece would make a great addition in a curiosity cabinet or a medical antiques...
