AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Green scale H 40 - W 66 - D 30 cm
This is an antique Roberval balance scale, recognizable by the cast-iron base with the relief inscription "FORCE TO KILO" (often referred to as a Force 10 Kilo scale). This type of mechanical countertop scales was widely used from the late 19th century well into the 20th century in French and Belgian grocers, butcher shops, and market stalls to weigh goods.
The scale features a characteristic cast-iron frame and two copper/brass pans: a flat pan for the loose weights and a deeper bowl for the items to be weighed.
The scale has a beautiful, authentic patina. The mechanism still works smoothly and is functional.
Includes original 2 sets of iron weights in a wooden block + loose weights.
Large block = 30 cm wide, Small block = 14 cm wide
note the smallest weights are missing.
