Dating from the end of the nineteenth century, a lovely beam scale with a large, solid bronze counterweight originally used to weigh meat in a butcher's shop in France. Note the maximum weight marked is 165 kilograms. Observe in detailed photos the numerous small stamps on the bronze weight that would have been stamped by regulatory committees in France to ensure that it was properly calibrated. The long iron beam features measurement marks and iron hooks forged by hand. A charming way to decorate your kitchen or restaurant décor with a piece of French butcher shop history!
