Balance or scale - Metal, Enamel - Vintage Scaled

Vintage French-Style Kitchen / Shop Scales – Decorative Display Piece A charming vintage kitchen weighing scale, retaining a wonderfully authentic aged appearance and a superb time-worn patina. The scale features a cream-painted/enamelled body with a removable rectangular weighing tray. The original finish has developed a lovely distressed character over the years, with surface wear, areas of enamel loss, scuffing, oxidisation and attractive rust-toned patination to the metalwork. The aged finish gives the piece considerable character and would be particularly appealing to collectors of vintage kitchenalia and shop fittings. The front retains its original graduated weighing scale and brass-toned maker’s plaque, adding to its period appeal. The combination of cream enamel, darkened metal and natural signs of age makes this a particularly decorative example. An excellent decorative prop for a farmhouse kitchen, country house, café, bakery, delicatessen or vintage-style shop display. It would also make a great film, television or photography prop, or simply an attractive piece of vintage kitchenalia displayed on a shelf or countertop. Measurements: * Length: 36 cm * Depth: 22 cm * Height: 13 cm Condition: Vintage condition with plenty of genuine age and character. There is extensive surface wear, marks, scratches, areas of chipped/lost finish, oxidisation and rust/patina throughout, all of which contribute to its authentic vintage appearance. Please examine the photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description. Please note: Offered primarily as a decorative/collectable item; its accuracy and suitability for practical weighing have not been tested. A lovely piece of vintage kitchenalia with bags of character – ideal for creating an authentic country kitchen, café, deli or period shop aesthetic.
