Description from the seller

An antique precision balance dating from the early 20th century, made of brass with a circular wooden base. Model with suspended pans formerly used for fine weighings in laboratories, pharmacies, jewelry stores, or scientific use. The crossbar bears the inscription “20 g,” typical of educational and technical precision balances. A beautiful decorative object with a nice brass patina and the authentic charm of old scientific instruments. Ideal for a collection of scientific curiosities, industrial decor, cabinet of curiosities, or a steampunk universe. Time-worn traces in keeping with its age, good overall visual condition.

Highly sought after in the worlds of industrial design, scientific curiosities, vintage medical technology, laboratory optics, steampunk, and rare measuring instruments.
Ideal for a collector, industrial loft decor, cabinet of curiosities, scientific display case (theodolite, microscope, sextant, compass)
