About the Item

Vintage German Brass Barometer with Zodiac Symbols, Mid-20th Century A sculptural convergence of meteorology and mysticism, this mid-century German barometer offers both scientific precision and decorative allure. Crafted in brass and suspended by a twisted rope with a matching finial, the piece evokes maritime elegance and celestial intrigue. Encircling the dial are twelve engraved zodiac signs - Libra through Virgo - rendered with crisp detail. The inner face displays atmospheric pressure readings in millimeters of mercury (700–800 mmHg), with weather indicators in Swedish ("REGN" for rain, "OSTADIGT" for unstable, "VACKERT" for beautiful), suggesting Nordic calibration despite its German manufacture. The dial is clearly marked “Made in Germany,” affirming its origin. A compelling choice for decorators seeking a wall-mounted object with narrative depth, or collectors of horological and scientific instruments, this barometer bridges design, folklore, and functionality. Its patinated brass, astrological engravings, and multilingual typography make it a standout in curated interiors or themed collections.
