Antique French Cast Iron Scale

About the Item

This cast iron scale was made in France, circa 1900. A ubiquitous classic in the home or the market, scales of these dimensions were commonly used to weigh fruits and vegetables. Fully functional, the scale is equipped with brass weighing pans, their golden color providing a subtle contrast to the painted cast iron. The trays are set on a plinth-like base, a timeworn patina enhancing the dark tone. Transformed into a delightful accessory, the scale evokes notions of care and balance, along with the aromas and chatter of a corner épicérie.
