AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large antique grocery scale in wood, marble and metal – complete with original weights – Cinque Chilos
Description
Fascinating early 20th-century countertop grocery scale, made with a solid wood base, white marble top and metal pans branded “Cinque Chilos.”
The item retains a splendid original patina and comes with the set of metal weights in various sizes, a feature that makes it particularly interesting for collectors as well as an industrial or country style decorative piece.
The structure is intact and stable. The marble is in good condition, without evident cracks. The wood shows normal signs of age and use consistent with its era. The pans show superficial oxidation and wear compatible with more than a century of life. The internal mechanism is present.
The scale is functional: the mechanism responds to weight. However, given the object's age, the precision of weighing has not been verified, and the item is sold as a collectible and display piece.
Features
* Type: countertop grocery scale
* Capacity: 5 kg
* Brand on the pans: Cinque Chilos

Condition

The item will be carefully packed to ensure safe shipping.
