A stunning gold gilt Louis XVI barometer, made in France circa 1780. The instrument was used to measure atmospheric pressure and had a thermometer below the central dial to measure air temperature.

An ostrich-feather plumed helmet rests between crossed flags and above a warrior’s shield, from which behind peek a drum and horn. The body is finished in brilliant gold gilt with laurel leaf flourishes and draped fabric imagery. The dial face has been hand-painted in beautiful detail. These antique barometers make impressive decorative, sculptural, objects, instantly elevating a room’s decor with a touch of old-world class.

Behind protective glass, the white porcelain face has beautiful hand-painted Roman numerals and floral design radiating from the pierced brass hands. Recently professionally cleaned and ready to be hung in your interior. The clock chimes on the hour, 5 minutes after the hour, and once on the half hour. For an additional $150.00 a quartz movement can be added to the clock to keep time without winding weekly. This clock has a very short pendulum swing and must be level. If you swing the pendulum too hard, it will be out of balance. A winding key is included. Make sure to view the detailed images to get a closer look at the condition and wonderful patina.
