About this item
Vintage brass balance scales with a turned column, stepped round base, ornate crest finial, and a curved beam finished with engraved bird-head terminals - a maker's flourish you don't see on modern reproductions. Copper-toned pans hung on chains; the beam swings freely. The classic bookshelf, desk or office piece - and the go-to gift for a Libra, a lawyer, or whoever claims to be the balanced one in the family. Pans and chains unhook for flat, safe posting.
