FAQs

A jewellers balance scale is a precision instrument historically used by goldsmiths, assayers, and gemmologists to accurately measure the weight of precious metals, gemstones, and coinage.

These instruments were typically constructed from solid brass for the beam, pans, and upright supports due to its corrosion resistance, mounted upon polished hardwoods like mahogany, walnut, or oak to provide stability.

Authentic 19th-century scales feature hand-engraved weight graduations along the beam, natural patination on unlacquered brass surfaces, period-correct screws, and dovetail or moulded joinery on the wooden base.

Scientific objects like brass scales are frequently placed on office desks, bookcases, or mantelpieces within traditional, academic, or maximalist interior schemes to add architectural texture and historical interest.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and avoid chemical metal cleaners that strip historical patina. Apply a thin layer of microcrystalline wax to the wooden base and brass elements to protect against oxidisation.
