About the Item

A classic, antique scale with an Italian Portofino marble base and hand-crafted fluted brass stem that catches the light perfectly. The tiered marble base has small, charming brass feet. A great accessory, especially for kitchens, the use of marble and the scale’s function make it more charming and applicable… which is hard to do in a kitchen without looking staged. It’s equally relevant and great for offices, on bookshelves, countertops, or fireplace mantels. While this piece is from a time when quality and artistry were paramount, it does bear a tiny chip on the marble base — This slight imperfection does not detract from its beauty but rather adds to the scale's story and authenticity as an antique. Perfect for collectors, interior designers, or anyone with an appreciation for historical objects, this brass scale with its Portofino marble is becoming rarer. We know, it’s hard to find, one-of-a-kind pieces! Shop our listings for new inventory, curated from an Interior Architect and Designer’s POV. THE TASTEMAKER SHOPPE offers an exclusive mix of ‘new old’ furnishings, founded solely on good taste, not limited by any style or era.
