FAQs

Balance scales have been used for millennia for trade and commerce, with heavier wrought iron variations becoming prominent during the industrial era for weighing bulk goods in markets, warehouses, and shops.

These pieces were typically forged from hand-wrought iron and steel, often featuring linked chains, suspension hooks, and occasionally wooden platforms or metal pans.

Authentic period scales exhibit hand-forged joinery, natural oxidisation, heavy patination, and tool marks consistent with blacksmithing techniques prior to mass production.

Such industrial artefacts make striking focal points when suspended from a high ceiling or displayed within an open space to highlight their architectural lines and tactile materiality.

To preserve the metal, keep the item in a stable, dry environment and periodically treat it with a microcrystalline wax to prevent further corrosion without removing the historic patina.
