Sierlijke Jugendstil wandbarometer met thermometer –...

Elegant Art Nouveau wall barometer with thermometer – red-brown wood and brass-colored ornaments – probably circa 1900–1920 A atmospherically evocative piece of weather history for the wall. This decorative barometer combines a long slender wooden housing with lacy openwork contours and geometric metal ornaments. The warm reddish-brown wood tone forms a beautiful contrast with the light dial plates and gold-colored accents. The round barometer immediately draws the eye. Through the open center of the dial a portion of the mechanism is visible: an attractive technical detail that gives the instrument extra depth. The Dutch-language indicators ‘Storm’, ‘Rain or wind’, ‘Variable’, ‘Fine weather’ and ‘Stable’ give the dial its historic appearance. Above the barometer is a slim thermometer with a scale in Celsius and Fahrenheit. The graceful side contours, cut top edge and rhythmically arranged ornaments bring both instruments together in one balanced composition. On the metal back plate of the thermometer there is a stamped emblem that resembles a winged mythical creature. The manufacturer has not yet been identified. The brand forms an interesting detail for enthusiasts and collectors of historic measuring instruments. Technique and decoration An aneroid barometer records changes in air pressure via a sensitive metal element and a mechanical transfer to the needle. Such instruments brought weather monitoring into the domestic interior and were often made as decorative wall pieces. The openwork design and geometric embellishments align with the Art Nouveau style from the early twentieth century. The dating of this specimen to circa 1900–1920 is a stylistic estimate. A characterful addition to a hall, study, or classic interior, where technology and decorative design meet beautifully.
