Old Two-Plate Balance Scale in Cast Iron with Original Weights
Old two-plate balance scale, traditionally used in trade and groceries, made of cast iron, with brass plates and an original set of iron weights, as visible in the photographs.
A robust and decorative piece, with a strong aesthetic presence, ideal for collectors, vintage/industrial decor, or for integration into commercial spaces, restaurants, gourmet shops, or interiors with a classic-inspired vibe.
Characteristics:
- Cast iron frame, with original patina and gilded details
- Two circular brass plates
- Traditional mechanical balance system
- Original set of iron weights, with upper rings
(weights marked in kilograms, as shown in the photos)
- Solid and stable base
Composition of the set:
- One two-plate balance scale
- Set of iron weights of different sizes
(exactly the weights shown in the photos)
Condition:
- Vintage piece, in good overall condition considering its age
- Exhibits normal signs of use and surface oxidation, consistent with time
- Intact and stable structure
- Brass plates with normal signs of use
- Not tested for precise calibration, sold as a decorative/collectible piece
Important:
The balance scale and weights for sale are exactly as they appear in the photographs
The photographs are an integral part of the description
Notes:
Authentic piece, with great decorative and historical value, hard to find with a complete weight set. Ideal for those who appreciate antique objects with character and authenticity.
Careful shipping and well packed.
Seller's Story
I am passionate about art, antiques, and decorative objects with historical and aesthetic value. I carefully select unique pieces for auction, prioritizing those that stand out for their originality, quality, and history.
I have a special affinity for antique mirrors inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, acquired from private collections and antique shops in Portugal and France. I also place great importance on pieces made of carved wood, especially in gilded relief, which represent the refinement and craftsmanship of classical decorative arts.
