Vintage Conart Lyon Manometer Industrial Pressure Gauge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique Conart Lyon pressure gauge is a vintage pressure measuring instrument, designed for industrial or technical use. It features a circular black dial, graduated from 0 to 14 bars, with white numbers and a clearly visible white central needle. The graduation and graphic style of the dial evoke mid-20th century manufacturing, typical of French industrial instrumentation of that period.

The metallic-looking casing surrounds the dial's glass. The face shows signs of wear and a visible patina on the metallic part, highlighting its age and authenticity. The inscription "Conart Lyon" is legible in the center of the dial, indicating the manufacturer and origin. The threaded connection at the bottom of the pressure gauge is typical of instruments designed to be screwed onto an installation or machine.

The single, white needle is well-centered and movable. The dial features regular markers for precise pressure reading, as well as a clear division in bars, a common unit of measurement in industry. The glass surface has some marks and scratches, with no apparent chips on the visible face.

The overall shape of the pressure gauge is compact, with a flat face and a classic circular profile. The visible details attest to robust manufacturing, designed to withstand professional use. The ensemble displays a retro industrial style, appreciated for decoration or the restoration of old machines.

The exterior finish shows uniform wear, typical of instruments used in an industrial environment. No superfluous decorative elements are present; the emphasis is on the legibility and functionality of the dial.
