Large 19th Century English Brass Scale with Weights and Bull Finial

About the Item

This monumental 19th-century English brass scale presents a rare double-tiered configuration, combining technical function with sculptural elegance. Standing at 48 inches tall, the scale features four suspended trays—two larger shallow bowls on the lower level and two smaller precision pans above—balanced on a central fluted column with finely cast detailing. At the apex, a bull’s head finial with ring and stylized spire adds visual weight and symbolic flair. The crossbars terminate in decorative spheres and scrollwork, each arm precisely engineered to support its chains and trays with balance and symmetry. Set into the geometric-shaped base is a complete set of graduated brass counterweights, housed in recessed compartments with inscribed labels—evidence of this piece’s original function in mercantile or apothecary settings. Its polished golden finish gleams with time-earned patina, offering a commanding presence ideal for display in a study, library, or retail interior. Decorative yet rooted in historic use, this English brass balance marries 19th-century utility with artistic form, making it as collectible as it is visually striking.
