Dating from the Edwardian period around 1900, these antique postal scales comprise a polished brass balance beam and matching square pans supported by upright arms on a shaped mahogany base. The piece incorporates graduated nested weights resting centrally alongside a small paper label, complemented by a pair of circular brass wells inset into the rich warm brown timber platform. Patina, slight tarnish and surface marks indicate authentic age and gentle handling across the brass and wood components. Practical in scale, the unit measures 11 cm high, 25 cm wide and 14 cm deep. Positioned on an office desk or library table, the item serves as a functional paperweight or a traditional decorative accessory within a study.

FAQs

Antique brass postal scales were widely used during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in offices and private residences to weigh letters and small parcels for postage calculations.

These scales feature solid brass mechanism pans, balance arms, and brass weights mounted onto a shaped hardwood plinth, typically made from mahogany or walnut.

Period examples feature solid brass components with natural surface patina, engraved weight indicators or postal rate charts, and hand-finished timber bases.

They serve as accent objects on home office desks, bookcases, or console tables, providing texture and historical context within contemporary or traditional study spaces.

Dust regularly with a dry lint-free cloth; avoid abrasive chemical polishes to retain the existing patina, and treat the wooden base occasionally with beeswax.
