A striking set of antique kitchen balance scales with a heavy cast iron base and a beautifully aged brass weighing pan. This is a classic, sculptural piece with real presence—the kind of object that instantly adds depth and authenticity to a kitchen or interior space.

The form is particularly pleasing, with twin pedestal supports and a central turned column, giving it that traditional Victorian/Edwardian silhouette. The brass pan sits to one side, while a stack of graduated weights rests on the opposite platform, creating a naturally balanced, visually satisfying composition. The darkened metal and worn brass show years of use, developing a rich patina that’s impossible to replicate.

Condition is good antique, with expected wear throughout—surface marks, oxidisation, and areas of rubbed finish to both the iron and brass. The wear is consistent with age and adds to the overall character. The scales appear complete with weights as shown, though accuracy has not been tested and they are best considered decorative.

Measures approximately 30 cm wide (11.8 inches) and 20 cm tall (7.9 inches).

A strong piece for farmhouse kitchens, rustic interiors, or the ever-popular old money and European country house aesthetic—equally at home as a functional display item or a purely decorative statement.
