French 19th Century Culinary Scale

About the Item

A 19th century French counter or grocer’s scale with two brass trays mounted on a white marble top. This wonderful antique instrument was used to measure various ingredients and products that are epicurean in nature. Of the two sizable brass plateaux, which have taken a lovely, antique patina, a line of stamps is visible on the right side confirming repeated visits to the mercantile from an inspector of weights and measures whose job it was to calibrate these weighing machines. The case is made of wood, angled at the corners (à la Louis Philippe) painted a beige tone with lovely craquelure texture, and revealing the porthole at center to see if scale is balanced. Please view the detailed images to see more of this culinary antique.
