An elegant desktop thermometer stand embodying the refined aesthetics of the Louis XVI and Empire periods. Crafted from gilt bronze mounted on white alabaster, this piece combines functional design with decorative sophistication. The bronze framework showcases intricate detailing characteristic of neoclassical craftsmanship, while the alabaster base provides a luminous, neutral foundation on which the gold just shines. Perfect for collectors seeking authentic period furnishings or those who appreciate the marriage of utility and artistry. A distinguished accent for study, library, or formal living spaces. Perfect for desk, fireplace mantel or wherever you want to display it!
Very good condition. There are some small nips to the front edges of the alabaster and a bit of wear to the gilding on the thermometer plaque but no cracks, original thermometer, original backing with easel stand and wall hang ring. See images for measurements.
