This lovely gilded French barometer just came back with us from France. It is made of gilded material, possibly pressed wood with a very light green area around the barometer and the thermometer. The piece has a French barometer made by Sofamet and a French thermometer with centigrade markings. The piece dates to the end of the 19th century and has a few signs of it: the bottom part of the thermometer is missing, making it not functional. There is also a small split in the backing, on one side of the barometer back as shown in the last photo. This does not make the piece unstable. It is a very decorative piece which will enhance a lot of styles. Measurements are: 19 1/2″ tall, 7 1/2″ wide and 1 1/2 deep. Weight is about 3 1/2 pounds, so it is a substantial piece.
