A finely carved Black Forest wall barometer and thermometer, dating to the late 19th or early 20th century and marked “Made in Germany” on the reverse. The body is beautifully sculpted from wood, showcasing deep, high-relief floral and foliate motifs typical of the Black Forest tradition. The barometer dial is housed in a circular frame, with a working thermometer mounted above, calibrated in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.
The carving is rich and detailed, with naturalistic curves, flowerheads, and curling leaves throughout. There is a visible chip to one of the upper leaf tips and a few other small areas of wear to the extremities, consistent with age. Despite this, the piece displays beautifully and remains structurally sound.
Measures approximately 18" tall (46 cm). A striking decorative object with functional appeal—perfect for a maximalist or old-world interior.
