Antique Industrial Scale: Cast Iron Base, Brass Bowls and Plate

Anchor your moody vintage or dark academia vignette with this substantial cast iron and brass balance scale. Resting on a heavy, tiered rectangular iron base, the scale features a beautifully distressed black painted finish that authentically reveals the aged, oxidized iron beneath. The central balance beam is crowned with an ornate, open-work metal pointer, adding a touch of Victorian-era industrial elegance to the rugged framework. Two distinct solid brass weighing vessels rest in the iron cross-cradles: a deep, flared bowl on the left and a shallow, flat plate on the right, both exhibiting a warm, unpolished patina. Perfectly suited for an English Hunt Country aesthetic or a carefully curated shop display, this weighty piece offers endless styling possibilities—from holding trailing ivy in the deep bowl to staging small antique books or curiosities under a glass cloche on the flat pan.

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
