Large Set of Postal Scales & Weights

19th century
Description

A large and impressive Victorian set of brass POSTAL SCALES complete with its full set of Brass Weights.

Set upon a shaped "honey" oak base, these good scales were designed for weighing parcels (as well as letters) and come with 2 x 4lbs weights and a graduated 'pile' of EIGHT further weights: 2-lbs down to a quarter ounce. There are two plaques to the centre which are engraved with the prices for sending parcels and letters of various sizes. 15 x 11.5 x 7ins (38 x 29 x 18cms)

*** A parcel weighing 9lbs in those days could be posted for the princely sum of 11d (or less than 5p today!)

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

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.
