An elegant vintage balance scale in cast metal and brass, complete with a set of small weights. This piece makes an evocative desk or display item, evoking apothecaries, libraries, or old-world trades. A classic shape with gently aged patina to the brass pans and beam, giving it real character.
Standing at approximately 42cm (16.5") tall, the scale has a sturdy three-footed base and comes with two removable pans and a few original brass weights, as shown. The pointer arm moves freely, and the whole piece displays beautifully. Ideal for styling in a study, shop display, or simply as a curious object with a sense of equilibrium and symbolism.
Condition: Signs of age and wear throughout as expected, with surface marks, tarnish and a mellowed finish that adds to its antique feel. Not calibrated for accurate weighing.
Approximate Dimensions:
Height: 42cm / 16.5"
Width: 34cm / 13.4" (across pans)
