AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating Roberval balance model from the early 1900s, an icon of French industrial design in solid cast iron and brass
The lot stands out for the rarity of the complete set of 6 original weights with ring, perfect to give a vintage and authentic touch to any environment.
A piece of subway history, preserved with its magnificent original patina.
NOTE ON CALIBRATION
(Transparency for the buyer)
"For the utmost fairness toward collectors, it should be noted that the balance, while mechanically intact, requires a small adjustment: while the bare frame is in perfect balance, once the pans are added the needle dips slightly to one side (even though the weights weigh the same)."
