About the Item
This 19th Century French iron and brass scale captures the elegance of traditional workshop craftsmanship, harmonizing strong industrial lines with warm metallic detail. The cast-iron base features a stepped profile and a richly aged patina, lending the piece substantial visual weight and historical depth. Above, two polished brass pans—one deep, one shallow—provide luminous contrast, their surfaces naturally worn to a soft sheen. The central balancing arm includes a decorative finial, a hallmark of French scales from the period, emphasizing the blend of function and ornament. Sculptural yet practical in form, this scale brings a refined, antiquated charm to kitchens, pantries, or curated vignettes, offering a tangible link to 19th-century French domestic life.
