WALL-MOUNTED BAROMETER AND THERMOMETER: IDENTIFICATION

This is a wall-mounted instrument panel combining a barometer and a thermometer. The primary material is a light-colored wood, likely oak or ash, with a simple, functional design. The barometer at the base features a circular metallic dial with a central compass rose motif and a pointer, indicating atmospheric pressure. Above it, an elongated thermometer is set into the wood, displaying temperature in Celsius. The overall aesthetic suggests a domestic weather station, likely a commercial product from the latter half of the 20th century.

CONDITION & GRADE

Condition

The overall condition appears good for its age, with no obvious signs of significant damage like cracks or deep scratches on the wood. The metal components show some superficial wear and possibly slight tarnishing, consistent with normal aging. The instruments themselves appear intact, though their accuracy cannot be verified visually.
