{"product_id":"vintage-french-travel-barograph-11877","title":"Vintage French Travel Barograph, Recording Barometer with Stacked Vidie Capsules and Gilt Drum, Glazed Wood Case, Desk Decor","description":"\u003cp\u003eLift the glazed lid of this compact barograph and you’ll find a small piece of precision engineering. A stack of five ribbed, gilt Vidie capsules expands and contracts with every change in air pressure, moving a lever on a brass frame that would trace the week’s weather in ink onto a chart wrapped around the gold clockwork drum beside it. The mechanism sits on a black metal plate inside a wooden case, glazed on all sides so you can watch it work, and finished in a warm mahogany tone. This smaller travel model is neat enough for a desk or a bookshelf. It’s a fascinating conversation piece for a study, an office or a boat lover’s den.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good Vintage Condition, with light wear to the case finish consistent with age. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth: 7.9 in (20 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth: 5.5 in (14 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 4.7 in (12 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Stained wood case, glass panels, brass and gilt metal mechanism\u003cbr\u003e\nIncludes: One barograph\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorical Period: French scientific instrument; circa mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Duties: Every piece is hand-wrapped, securely packed and fully insured for its journey to you, wherever you are in the world.
