Old industrial pressure gauge, round dial, vintage, with original box

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique industrial pressure gauge features a large round white dial, graduated from 0 to 6 bar, with a central black needle and precise graduations. The scale is clearly legible, marked with black Arabic numerals, with "bar" written at the bottom of the dial. The edge of the dial is encircled by a metallic finish with a slightly patinated appearance. The dial is protected by a domed glass, typical of industrial measuring instruments from the second half of the 20th century.

The lower part of the device is equipped with a massive threaded fitting, made of a gold-colored metal, allowing connection to a pressure installation or a hydraulic circuit. The entire piece rests on a simple cardboard box, probably original, which serves as a presentation support in the photo.

The design of this pressure gauge evokes the professional instruments used in mechanical, hydraulic, or thermal industries. The absence of a visible brand on the photographed face reinforces the universal character of this type of equipment, often manufactured in Europe in the 1960s-1980s.

The dial surface shows some points of micro-oxidation or wear, signs of previous use or prolonged storage. The glass, although generally clean, shows slight traces consistent with the age of the object. The metal casing has a homogeneous patina, without chips or visible deformation on the face shown.

This vintage pressure gauge can be suitable for decorative use in an industrial interior as well as for creative repurposing (lamps, clocks, etc.). It may also interest design professionals looking for authentic period instruments.
