Illustrated in: Fabergé, his masters and artisans, Ulla Tillander-Godenhielm, 2018, page 200.

This magnificent and important thermometer was made by Fabergé. Fabergé was established in St Petersburg in 1842, and by the late nineteenth century, was Russia’s largest and best-known jewellery house. The house has become known for their royal commissions and their close ties to the family of Tsar Nicholas II. This thermometer features a royal blue enamel surface decorated with neoclassical style rosettes and acanthus motifs. The thermometer has a Réaumur scale, a temperature scale used in Europe until the mid-nineteenth century and used in Russia until the early twentieth century. This thermometer reflects the ways in which the Fabergé firm transformed everyday objects into beautiful and luxurious works of art.
