Rich woods and brass accenting are featured along with multi-functional mariners' designs for gauging the weather and the tides. The dependability of nautical clocks is matched by their decorative appeal. There is a far more practical use for a good barometer, and that is during weather changes, to measure important barometric changes that occur during stormy season, or perhaps to sense when your arthritis might again be kicking up. Gold tone is strong, yet muted as a delightful accent. The choice of gold will provide wider opportunities for incorporating complementary colors.
