Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Edwardian shopkeepers scales were commercial balancing instruments used in grocery stores, bakeries, and markets during the early 20th century to weigh dry goods and produce against calibrated brass weights.

These scales were typically constructed using solid brass for the beam, pans, and weights, mounted upon a heavy cast iron or brass pedestal base to ensure stability during daily commercial use.

Authentic period scales often feature makers marks or verification stamps impressed into the brass beam or weights, along with natural surface oxidisation, turned brass components, and cast iron bases.

Antique scales function as decorative accent pieces on a kitchen island, sideboard top, or deep windowsill, adding historical structure and warm metallic texture to modern or traditional interiors.

Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and clean with gentle soap and water if necessary, avoiding harsh abrasive polishes to preserve the natural historical patina of the metal.
