In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
The scales are marked "De Grave Class B. To Weigh 10oz"
They come with various antique brass weights measuring in troy ounces and dwts.
The scales are in very good condition and display well. The brass has tarnished over time and there are signs of age and use and some minor marks on the box but nothing detrimental. Although complete, they are really being sold as a decorative collectors item rather than an accurate scientific instrument.
