About the Item
This 19th Century French iron scale presents a striking combination of sculptural form and industrial utility, distinguished by its elegantly cast base and beautifully aged patina. The stepped plinth base anchors the piece with architectural presence, while the blackened iron armature reveals subtle textural wear consistent with its workshop origins. Two removable brass pans sit above, their warm, polished surfaces offering a refined contrast to the darker metalwork. The central finial adds a delicate decorative touch, highlighting the craftsmanship typical of French scales from the period. Functional in spirit and compelling as an objet d’art, this piece brings historical character and visual interest to kitchens, pantries, or curated display shelves.
