AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare antique neonatal beam scale from the second half of the 19th century. In good used condition, considering its age, with some flaking and loss of varnish. Splendid vintage neonatal beam balance. The main structure is made of ivory-colored varnished wood with a charming lived-in patina, topped by a curved metal pan enameled white. The graduated rods and the hinge mechanisms are iron, while brass has been used for the precision components, such as the cylindrical counterweights and the bushings for the pivots. The signs of time and the light patina of oxidation certify its history and authenticity, transforming this measuring instrument into a collectible object with magnetic character and a strong visual impact."} } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } }
