FAQs

Preservation involves keeping the timber nourished with microcrystalline wax, avoiding direct sunlight and humidity fluctuations, and periodically dusting the mechanical elements without using harsh chemical cleaners.

Such pieces function as striking focal points in studies, hallways, or eclectic living spaces, often styled as sculptural conversation pieces celebrating equestrian history.

Authenticity is determined by the presence of period-appropriate mechanical components, hand-cut joinery, wear consistent with age, and makers stamps or verification marks from weights and measures inspectors.

They are typically constructed using solid timber such as oak, incorporating internal cast iron or brass weighing mechanisms, dovetailed joints, and wheeled barrow-style handles for mobility.

Jockey scales are specialised mechanical weighing devices historically used at racecourses to weigh jockeys before and after races to ensure compliance with weight regulations.
