Massive French 19th Century Cast-Iron Produce Scale
$2,500.00
Dimensions: 57″H x 61″W x 19″D
A massive 19th century hanging cast-iron produce scale, c.1860, from France which would have been used for weighing produce or meat in a warehouse or a large farmer’s market. A series of weights would be place into the circular side while the rectangular strap-iron side would hold the items to be weighed. The weights would continue to be added until the central needle hand points to twelve o’clock. Imagine what a bold focal point this scale would make installed in the ceiling of a restaurant!
