Description from the seller
Scale 1:
Antique 18th-century tin scale/plate with guild marks and later historical engraving "1857"
A beautiful and authentic 18th-century cultural artifact. This tin scale (or deep plate) is a handcrafted piece from the boom period of West European tin casting (18th century).
The base bears three early, struck guild marks (three-mark system consisting of city mark, master mark, and quality mark) in the characteristic triangular arrangement. This type of mark system is typical for high-quality tin work from the Netherlands in this period.
Unique historical contrast: What makes this lot special is that the object stayed in family ownership for generations and was later personalized. On the inside there is a hand-made, later engraving from the year 1857, including accompanying text. These kinds of inscriptions were often added in the 19th century as occasion or memorial gifts (for example at a marriage or inheritance). It forms a fascinating timeline that makes the centuries-long use history of this antique object beautifully tangible.
Condition: In fair, unrestored antique condition with a magnificent, deep, and well-worn patina that suits the great age. The surface shows the inevitable signs of aging, such as fine scratches and wear on the stamps and text, which guarantees authenticity. No structural defects or restorations. See the photos for an accurate personal impression.
Production period of object: 18th century (engraving added later in 1857)
