19th Century French Cast Iron Scale

About the Item

This cast iron scale was made in France, circa 1900. A household and marketplace classic, scales of these dimensions were commonly used to weigh fruits and vegetables. Fully functional, the scale is equipped with metal weighing pans. The flat plates are set on a plinth-like cast iron base, tinted by a timeworn patina of oxide tones. A riveting decorative piece evoking the aromas and chatter of a corner épicérie.
