About the Item

Massive 19th Century French Brass Butcher’s Scale with Bull Head A striking and rare 19th century French butcher's balance scale, crafted entirely in polished brass. This monumental piece features a finely detailed bull’s head at the top—symbolic of strength and livestock trade—through which the central arm passes. It includes two double-arm balance beams, each suspending a pair of circular brass weighing pans by decorative chains, for a total of four pans. The base is fitted with graduated weights and ornamental detailing. Functional and sculptural, this scale would have been used in a traditional butcher's shop or market. Dimensions: 45" W x 69" H.
