Description from the seller

Precision coin balance in a case made of cubamahoni, crafted by P. Charpentier from Paris. This house was appointed and operated for the French Mint established by Napoleon. It is in good condition overall, with weights that are not necessarily all original. On the inside of the lid, there is the maker's stamp with a crown. The piece dates from around 1820.
