Description
An assortment of vintage and decorative items featuring a German-made Barigo multi-instrument weather station. The weather station is comprised of three stacked cylindrical brass-finished tiers containing a barometer, thermometer, and hygrometer, all housed under a clear glass dome on a black plastic base. The top tier features a visible aneroid barometer mechanism and is marked with the Barigo logo and Made in Germany.
The collection includes a small nautical-style brass and copper cabinet lantern with a hinged glass door, a copper chimney, and a carrying handle with a turned wooden grip. The lantern contains a removable brass spirit lamp reservoir.
Decorative figurines in the lot consist of a porcelain lady in an 18th-century style peach-coloured dress and bonnet, resembling the style of Josef Originals; several novelty glazed ceramic frog figurines in various poses, including one on a sunbed and one in formal attire; and a small matte-finished yellow ceramic dog.
Additional items include a long-handled metal spoon with a twisted stem and red bead terminal, housed in a brown textured presentation box with a cream satin lining, and a dark-stained wooden souvenir bat with gilded text Mallorca and a sun symbol.
Length of bat: 44 cm
Height of weather station: 16 cm.
Condition report:
The Barigo weather station appears in good aesthetic condition; mechanical functions have not been tested. The brass and copper lantern shows surface tarnish and oxidation, and the ceramic wick holder on the internal burner is chipped. The wooden souvenir bat has minor scuffing to the finish. The figurines appear generally intact with light surface wear consistent with age. All items are sold as seen.
