This Dutch Ebony Aneroid Barometer, crafted between 1880 and 1905, is an example of a unique blend of elegance and craftsmanship in design. Its ebony veneered case gives the barometer a refined and noble aesthetic, reflecting the classic traits of Dutch craftsmanship. The original shape of the barometer emphasizes its exclusivity and sets it apart from similar instruments.

The barometer features a skeletonized dial, allowing a view of the intricate inner mechanism, creating a sense of openness and transparency. A distinctive touch is the reverse glass painting technique, used to apply the scale and weather indications to the inner surface of the glass. This method adds depth and visual richness to the instrument, producing fascinating light effects.

The mercury thermometer, set on a porcelain base, displays temperature in both Fahrenheit and Centigrade, enhancing the barometer's functional and aesthetic value. This barometer is not just a tool for measuring atmospheric pressure, but a work of art, with every detail thoughtfully designed and executed with the utmost precision and craftsmanship.
