FAQs

Victorian letter scales were mechanical balance instruments designed to weigh correspondence and calculate accurate postal rates following reforms in the nineteenth century.

Traditional Victorian postal scales were constructed using cast brass balance mechanisms mounted on solid hardwood bases, accompanied by calibrated brass stacking weights.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples frequently feature stamped weight values in drams or ounces, printed postal rate charts, and natural oxidisation on metal surfaces.

These balance scales serve as decorative functional accents when displayed on an office desk, library bookshelf, or hallway console table.

Dust the wood and metal components regularly with a dry cloth, avoiding abrasive polishes to preserve the original surface patina.
