About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This floor-standing letter scale is a utilitarian measuring instrument dating from the late 19th century. It is distinguished by its exposed pendulum mechanism and graduated dial, characteristic of office engineering of that era.
The main structure is made of brass, resting on a black cast iron tripod base. The engraved dial allows for weighing mail with a capacity ranging from 0 to 100 grams. The object measures 16 cm in height and 12 cm in width, offering a compact size suitable for office use.
The instrument displays a pronounced patina and traces of oxidation, attesting to its age and past use. Its mechanism remains an interesting example of 19th-century office engineering.
This curiosity fits naturally into an industrial or vintage-style decor. It would look perfect on an antique desk, a console table, or in a collector's display case.
