About the Item
A finely detailed late 19th–early 20th century decorative thermometer modeled after a Roman triumphal column, inspired by classical monuments such as Trajan’s Column in Rome. Cast in dark metal with a rich, aged patina, the column features a spiraling relief encircling the shaft and an integrated glass thermometer scale set vertically into the front. The architectural form is crowned with a small figural finial and raised on a stepped square base, reinforcing its monumental character in miniature. Likely produced as a Grand Tour–era souvenir or neoclassical desk or mantel object, this piece reflects the period’s fascination with antiquity while combining ornamental design with practical function, making it an evocative accent for a study, library, or classical interior.
