This lovely brass steelyard balance scale is most likely French as that is where it was found, it measures up to 2kg and is complete with a dish and a hook to suspend items.

The 10-inch dish is too small for vegetables, meat or fish so I’d suggest it would be perfect for weighing items like coffee and tea, flour, sugar etc in a grocer’s shop orepicerie. Again, the fact it is made of brass rather than steel or iron, suggests its use was customer-facing in a clean & dry environment rather than back-room.

One side of the arm is engraved with the initials ‘FB’.

This brass steelyard balance, roman scale orromaine, would make a lovely decoration in country-themed kitchen or it could be calibrated to use in your own ‘old-fashioned’ store.
