A small charming barometer, antique weather station, barometer, thermometer in hand-carved wood. Amazing piece of history! It is very decorative. The barometer is working, the thermometer is working, but I cannot guarantee the accuracy. Mercury temperature scale Reaumur and Celsius. On the back of the case s/n 23/2. Caveats: a case with wormholes. In France, the Reaumur thermometer was widely used before the adoption of the Celsius scale. The transition was long: the Celsius scale was adopted by the Convention in 1794, but the newspapers after fifty years still gave the temperature either on the scale or on both. The facility was probably designed towards the end of the 18th century (circa 17721773). Important: the age of the product is approximate. Antique items are not new items!
