Description
Crowned with regal flourish and framed in deeply carved walnut, this ornate French wall barometer and thermometer ensemble offers both function and finery. Likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, the craftsmanship speaks to a time when even weather instruments were works of art. The barometer dial is marked with weather indicators such as “BEAU TEMPS,” “VARIABLE,” and “TEMPÊTE,” encircling beautifully aged brass mechanics. A matching thermometer, marked in échelle centigrade, offers a poetic way to keep an eye on the temperature—à la française.
Whether placed in a foyer, library, or garden room, this piece adds Old World sophistication and a poetic reminder to check the weather the elegant way.
⚜️ From the carved acanthus leaves to the imperial finial, it’s a piece that feels right at home in our Everyday Château—and we thought it might suit yours, too.
