Description
Extremely rare and historic antique balance scale with two hanging pans suspended by chains, crafted in cast iron and bronze with a beautifully preserved aged patina. The upper crossbeam features embossed inscriptions referencing 'CASA DA MOEDA, 1856', indicating its probable official or commercial use in the 19th century. The structure features a cylindrical central column, ornate finial top, and a sturdy square base with leveling screws at the corners. The circular pans maintain natural wear and a noble verdigris/oxidized patina characteristic of authentic period items. A piece of exceptional collector value and strong decorative presence for classic or industrial interiors. Approximate dimensions of the piece: 55 cm height x 50 cm width x 22 cm depth (pan diameter: ~20 cm).
