ABOUT PRODUCTID 19436
This weather station from the 1970s originates from the Dutch atelier Juwelier Horlogier Slotboom in Zutphen — a fine example of functional design where utility is matched by refined craftsmanship. Its construction features a rectangular, deep-toned wooden frame with expressive, natural grain accentuated by a lustrous lacquer finish. The central panel is made of satin-brushed brass in a subtle golden hue, gently reflecting light, and provides contrast against the mirror-like polished brass bezels that encircle the three analog dials: thermometer, barometer, and hygrometer. The clear, slightly off-white faces, with precise black markings and simple black hands, are complemented by decorative gold screws that signal attention to detail and manufacturing precision. All elements appear original and untarnished, with no signs of wear, tarnish, or restoration; the entire piece is preserved in excellent condition.The weather station echoes the voice of the 1970s, an era where mid-century modern aesthetics and strict geometric order blended with Western European material sensibility. Wood and brass here combine into a coherent narrative of solidity and understated poise, as if the instrument has chronicled every weather fluctuation for decades while retaining its discreet sophistication. The interplay of matte and polished brass surfaces recalls subtle maritime references—a detail often favored in interiors of that era, from living rooms to executive offices.This station could be ideally placed on a living room sideboard or a home office shelf, blending with dark veneers, oak or walnut accents, and minimalist lighting—such as a mid-century table lamp. It may work particularly well in spaces shaped by mid-century or mature eclectic styles, where wood, metal, and glass interweave into a harmonious composition. Try pairing it with a mechanical clock, other brass accessories, or a classic row of books to underline its practical, timeless appeal.
