About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This antique balance scale is a classic example of functional industrial design from a bygone era. The object combines a robust cast-iron base with two contrasting copper pans, resulting in a utilitarian yet aesthetically pleasing whole.
The scale is crafted from heavy cast-iron, finished in a dark shade, and features two removable copper pans. The asymmetrical shape of the pans, with one round and one teardrop-shaped pan, originally served a specific weighing purpose. The base displays cast-in patent numbers and decorative elements typical of early industrial production. The combination of the dark metal and the gold-colored copper creates a strong visual contrast.
The object is in a condition consistent with its age and original use. The cast-iron has developed an authentic patina, while the copper pans have retained their characteristic shine, despite the visible signs of a long and functional life.
This scale is a characterful decorative object that fits perfectly into a country, industrial, or eclectic interior. It comes into its own on a sideboard, in an open kitchen, or as part of a collection of antique utensils.
