Antique Scale in the Shape of a Cross

About the Item

Antique scale in the shape of a cross with a plate and a weight. Main structure painted grey, with signs of wear that highlight its historic character. The balance mechanism consists of a horizontal rod with a gold metal dial on top, which allows accurate reading of measurements. On the left side, there is a concave brass plate, supported by a curved metal support with red painted details, giving a touch of contrast and authenticity. On the right side, a small adjustable counterweight suspended from a metal hook maintains the accuracy of the system. The rounded base ensures stability, making the piece functional and decorative. This type of scale was widely used for detailed weighing and is an object of great historical value.
