You are currently looking at an antique large French wall thermometer/barometer in the violin shape. It belonged to an elderly French couple who passed away. The way it was written in French at the back of the panel by the retailer which sold the piece, which reads about like this: “Pasturini Opticien Italien, à Toulouse…Tient Baromètres, Thermomètres, Liqueurs de toute espèce, Besi les lunettes, verres et montures, et tout ce qui concerne la lunetterie, fait les raccommodages”, we can easily say that the piece was made mid 19th century. The piece is rather bulky measuring 39” x 13”. Thank you for looking!
