Monumental Gilded Iron and Brass Italian Apothecary Scale on Marble Base
About the Item
This magnificent 19th-century Italian apothecary scale, with dimensions of 27" x 43" x 44", is a testament to the era's exceptional craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities. Crafted from gilded iron and adorned with intricate brass details, this scale features a unique design where one of the serpents, emblematic of wisdom and healing, is depicted with a gecko clasped in its mouth. The piece is elegantly mounted on a marble base, which intriguingly may predate the scale, adding layers of history and allure. The scale's generous proportions not only highlight its functional past but also accentuate its presence as a stunning decorative object. This blend of historical significance, artistic detail, and substantial size makes it a standout piece, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of fine antiques who appreciate beauty and craftsmanship.
