A Louis XV parcel-gilt and green lacquered wood barometer-themometer

CONDITION REPORT :

Good overall condition despite the inevitable wears and marks in accordance with age and use. Some wears and losses to the gilding in places, revealing the gesso underneath (notably to the foliage to the cul-de-lampe). Traces of woodworms in places. The frame is wobbly and would benefit from strengthening.
