About the Item
This 19th Century French iron and metal scale blends utilitarian craftsmanship with a distinctive aged character. The cast-iron base, finished in its original deep green paint with worn golden undertones, offers a rich, authentic patina that reflects decades of use. Its stepped, architectural form provides a stable foundation for the balanced armature above. Two metal pans—each uniquely weathered—introduce a raw, industrial texture that complements the darker ironwork. The central finial adds a subtle decorative flourish, underscoring the thoughtful detailing common in French workshop pieces of the era. Sculptural and expressive, this scale is an ideal accent for kitchens, pantries, or curated shelves, bringing a tactile glimpse of 19th-century French domestic life and craft.
