AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A beautifully crafted antique precision balance, complete with an original wooden storage box featuring a blue velvet interior.
This type of balance was traditionally used for accurately weighing small quantities, for example by goldsmiths, jewelers, or pharmacists.
The set consists of a fine brass balance with two pans, a set of metal weights, and various accessories such as tweezers.
The weights are clearly marked, including 50 g, 20 g, 10 g, 5 g and smaller weights, which made this set suitable for very precise measurements.
The balance and weights sit neatly in a custom-made wooden box with blue lining. This gives the set an elegant presentation and also makes it an attractive collectible or decorative piece.
The set is in good vintage condition, with normal signs of wear appropriate for its age. The balance appears complete and well preserved. See photos for a good impression of its condition and contents.
A beautiful object for collectors of scientific instruments, apothecary items, or antique measuring instruments.
