Wonderful antique French Victorian to Edwardian era Black Forest style hand carved walnut 26" wall barometer with thermometer on enamel plaque, solid hardwood with leaves & fruit or berries and all in fabulous condition! Barometers not quite as much of a household staple as they once were with all of the weather data available on our smart phones and such but they really do make attractive decorative accents! I've added two others this week, one Black Forest with foliage & bird figure, the other also carved but with more of a Neo-Classical look to it and this one. This just in from France, carved in solid, heavy hardwood that looks like it must be walnut. The original thermometer mounted on an enamel plaque, the barometer itself framed in shiny polished brass with text in French and a maker stamp on the back. Not an expert on barometer marks so I've not been able to find the maker but it does appear to read "EA or AE Modele Depose". A fabulous decorative accent, don't miss it!
Very good to excellent condition. Possibly a tiny nip or two to the wood but I see no larger chips, no cracks or warping to the solid hardwood case. There is a bit of denting around the brass frame of the barometer face. All of the barometer mechanism appear to be intact and in fine working order but we've not tested it. There are two tiny hairline cracks in the thermometer enamel plaque, just below the bulb of the thermometer itself. See pictures for measurements.
Return Policy:
We always honor a 3-day return on our items, and guarantee them to be as described. Money back, less shipping costs, which are not refundable, so ask questions if necessary. We're easy to deal with.
Shipping and Handling Policy:
You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you're thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us. We aim for 5-star transactions every day, and depend upon you to tell us directly if we have not yet met that standard for your transaction. Thank you! We most often use USPS for our shipping needs but will be happy to ship by another carrier if you prefer.
We charge only actual postage & insurance, never a handling fee and never for packaging materials. Ebay is now requiring that our clients rank us on "shipping". The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure so please remember that and leave us high DSR rankings. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we'll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable transaction.
Insurance has been eliminated as an option by ebay, forcing us sellers to either ship your items without insurance or assume that expense also. We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replaceable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Please remember that when leaving DSR ratings. Thanks!
Our shipping days are Tuesday and Friday, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is received (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat .00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
