Gilded wooden barometer by Fiorone, 18th-century
Mercury barometer and alcohol thermometer in a finely carved wooden frame with richly decorated plant motifs. The sides are decorated with scrolls with fish scales in relief intertwined with flowering branches; at the top is a laurel wreath held by a bow. The barometer display and the thermometer bear the maker's mark; the display is protected by a coeval but damaged blown glass and has openwork metal hands. There are a number of drops, missing items and damage; only in a few places can the original gold leaf gilding be seen.
