FAQs

Edwardian postal scales became essential office and household items during the early 20th century, designed to accurately weigh letters and small parcels following the standardisation of postal rates.

These items typically feature a combination of cast brass or bronze mechanisms and platforms, mounted upon a polished hardwood base such as mahogany or oak, often accompanied by nested brass weights.

Authenticity is generally identified through period-specific typography on engraved rate plates, hand-adjusted calibration marks, natural patina on the brass, and traditional joinery on the wooden base.

They make excellent display pieces on a home office desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, adding a touch of industrial heritage and academic charm to contemporary spaces.

Maintain the materials by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical polishes that can strip the historic patina from the brass and damage the polished wood finish.
