Unfortunately, a lot of times I catch myself paying more attention to the settings rather than the plots. All of the beautiful decorative items they use as props, we’ve even had a studio or two ask us about sending pieces out on approval to use in sets. In any event, you nearly always see a great old barometer hanging on the wall and this week we’re adding eight great old Victorian to Edwardian pieces. This one impressive, French as the barometer dial text would indicate and hand carved in the Black Forest style with reticulated or pierced vines & foliage. A brass framed aneroid barometer on the lower end, the paper or card dial with French text so it could be French or possible even Swiss. The original Reaumur & centigrade thermometer is intact and mounted on an enamel on copper panel. Quite unique and attractive in itself with that lovely coiled or spiraled base instead of the normal bulb with red liquid rather than mercury. Of course, we really don’t have time to test the accuracy (and the weather here in Southern California is pretty much the same everyday) but they always make simply fabulous decorative accents and, with the myriad of sources for the weather, not many of us would be checking these to determine how our day is going to be. As noted, we have not tested it for accuracy though it appears to be in fine working order. There is a repaired break to a leaf on the right side (3 o’clock from barometer face), two repaired breaks at the bottom vine or tendril tips and a hairline split on the left side at about the 11 o’clock position from the barometer (through leaf and vine segment). There is also a small, roughly 2, segment of a wooden strip missing from the bottom of the barometer dial framing at the 6 o’clock position. Possible a small chip or two but, as you can see, the piece is in overall wonderful shape. See pictures for all measurements. We’re easy to deal with. You are very important!
