Mercury Barometer and Thermometer

Extremely attractive ornate ormolu-mounted and tortoiseshell-veneered barometer and thermometer, signed, Bunten à Paris.

The marchand-mercier Claude-Francois Julliot is known to have kept a barometer and a thermometer of almost the identical model in his personal collection. We can assume that he used these decorative barometers and thermometers in the fashionable homes that he decorated.
