AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Dimensions: the length of the iron balance is 65 cm, height 37 cm.
Copper bowls: 32 by 32 cm; the round one is 36 cm.
Length of all seven chains is 57 cm.
Copper ornaments on the top of the chains: 10 cm.

What you see in our photos is a completely authentic Dutch shop scale, consisting of a metal balance (entirely intact) that is dated on both sides: 1847. To this balance hang two copper bowls: a round and a square, of which the square has four chains and the round has three copper chains, ending in a vertical point of approximately 10 cm (see the photos). We have added a number of calibrated weights ourselves, which therefore did not originally belong to the scale, but the scale itself is fully authentic. You will receive the weights with it.
It would be a beautiful object in a shop as a nostalgic item, but it also fits very well in a modern living room or kitchen.

We will ship it with care and with track and trace.
We would greatly appreciate your feedback.
