Description from the seller
Grand decorative brass and marble balance – apothecary style – 39 cm – 20th century
Description
Elegant and decorative two-pan balance with brass trays resting on a marble base, crafted in a style inspired by antique apothecary balances.
This model is distinguished by a finely worked twisted column supporting a balanced beam with two suspended pans connected by chains.
The whole is crowned by a decorative brass medallion, lending a classic and refined touch.
With its generous proportions and harmonious aesthetics, this balance makes a beautiful decorative object, ideal for a cabinet of curiosities, a display case, an office, or a vintage or classic style interior.
The combination of patinated brass and marble gives the piece an elegant and timeless presence.
