About the Item
This 19th Century French iron and marble scale is a robust example of practical workshop craftsmanship, characterized by its substantial cast-iron body and contrasting marble platform. The base features a geometric, paneled design with a richly aged patina that reflects years of authentic use. Its single marble plate introduces a refined visual counterbalance, offering a smooth, light-toned surface with subtle natural veining. The exposed mechanical elements and low, horizontal profile highlight the scale’s industrial origins while adding sculptural interest from every angle. Ideal as a decorative accent in kitchens, pantries, or shelving displays, this piece brings an evocative blend of French utility, history, and textural depth to any interior.
