About the Item
This elegant antique balance scale was crafted in Dijon, France, circa 1870. Rectangular in shape, the classic measuring device features a fruitwood case with fine marquetry fillet inlay and its original removable brass plateaus. The mechanism is housed within a glass-fronted dial, and the piece retains its original maker’s mark, Zimmerman Dijon. Complete with a 19th-century boxed set of brass weights (smallest weight missing), this scientific instrument remains in excellent working condition and showcases a rich walnut patina complemented by polished brass detailing.
Functional yet decorative, this authentic French scale would make a handsome addition to a kitchen counter, study, or retail display.
