Description
Both a functional piece and a decoration, this scale from 19th century France bears a gallant charm that emanates from the symbolic nature of balance. Precision, equilibrium, confidence and equanimity are ideas that come to mind with this piece. Bearing a small and useful drawer on its wooden base lacquered in an elegant glossy black, also makes an ideal jewellery box.
