About the Item

This 19th Century French iron and marble scale showcases a refined interplay of utilitarian construction and understated elegance. The cast-iron base, marked by a deep patina and textured surface, reflects decades of use while preserving the crisp lines of its original form. Resting above, the marble platforms feature cool grey tones with natural veining, adding a sophisticated contrast to the darker metalwork. The central balancing mechanism, complete with a decorative iron finial, highlights the precision engineering and aesthetic consideration typical of the period. Sculptural and functional in presence, this scale serves as a compelling accent for kitchens, dining areas, or thoughtfully curated shelves, offering a tangible link to 19th-century French craftsmanship.
