AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Decorative precision balance with cherub – 20th century
Elegant neoclassical-style precision balance made of silvered metal. The piece is distinguished by its magnificent cherub figurine serving as the central support, as well as by its base richly decorated with raised vegetal motifs.
The balance is equipped with two hanging metal pans and retains a set of five standard weights that are not period-correct. Its refined aesthetic recalls the antique apothecary or jeweler's scales of the 19th century.
A beautiful decorative object blending classical charm with scientific spirit, ideal for a cabinet of curiosities, an office, a library, or a collection of antique instruments.
Good overall condition with light signs of use consistent with age; see the photos, they are an integral part of the description.
An elegant and original object that will add a touch of character to any interior.
