About the Item

A 19th century French counter or grocer’s scale with two brass trays mounted on a white marble top. This wonderful antique instrument was used to measure various ingredients and products that are epicurean in nature. Of the two sizable brass plateaux, which have taken a lovely, antique patina, a line of stamps is visible on the right side confirming repeated visits to the mercantile from an inspector of weights and measures whose job it was to calibrate these weighing machines. The case is made of wood, angled at the corners (à la Louis Philippe) painted a beige tone with lovely craquelure texture, and revealing the porthole at center to see if scale is balanced. Please view the detailed images to see more of this culinary antique.

French 19th Century Hectolitre Winemakers Measure
Located in Baton Rouge, LA
This rare, painted tole and brass 19th century French wine dispenser was used by wineries to measure their wines into bottles in preparation for sale. The cylindrical vessel is balanced on three slim legs, portable by a pair of sturdy handles mounted to the sides. The tole (painted) finish has developed a wonderful oxidized patina of red-maroon tone recalling a young Pinot Noir that suits the theme just fine. An overflow and a spout down one side would allow the excess wine to be emptied into a vessel below to insure little waste. Every winery would have had one of these barrels and customers would bring a vessel and place it under the spout to fill with the desired amount of wine. The vintner would charge for the wine by using a measuring stick to determine how much was in the barrel before and after dispensing as not every vessel was of equal size. This wine vat...
