About the Item

This 19th-century hand-carved German ebonized walnut thermometer-barometer is an exquisite instrument designed to measure atmospheric pressure and forecast weather, while also providing temperature readings in both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales. The piece features a finely hand-carved design, showcasing a cherub at the top, with acanthus leaves leading down to dolphin fish motifs, culminating in the face of Zeus. These elements are characteristic of 19th-century German craftsmanship, reflecting the intricate detailing typical of the Black Forest style, which adds a touch of historical elegance to any setting. It is in working order, but to ensure accurate measurements, it should not be placed near sources of heat or cold, as this may affect the readings. This unique piece is ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of antique instruments, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal. This barometer contains mercury. Please check with your state to make sure you can buy it. Guidelines for handling antique items containing mercury: To safely handle them, handle them gently to avoid breakage. This barometer needs to be shipped upright and kept upright at all times. If a spill occurs, ventilate the area and use a mercury spill kit to clean it up, avoiding vacuuming or sweeping. Dispose of broken items as hazardous waste by contacting local waste management authorities. Always inform others about the presence of mercury to ensure safe handling. H=29.5 in. W=14.5 in.
