About the Item

Loyally underhand for quickly weighing out gemstones and precious medals, this trustworthy sidekick was once the prized tool for the detailed work of the jeweler. 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.
