Made in France in the 19th Century, its careful construction expresses the fascination of its former owner– a keen appreciation for shaping and design of the brass. The wooden case, beautifully patinated by years of use to a ripe complexion, houses a set of weights and spare weigh boats. Transformed into a delightful accessory, the scale evokes notions of care and balance, the everyday routine becoming a thought provoking metaphor to add to your collection. less
