Item Description
A fabulous set of 19th century, Portuguese, brass balance scales. These are marked “MACO BRAGA”. Maco Braga was a Portuguese workshop renowned for making ornate, solid brass balance and double-beam or quadruple beam merchantile and pharmacy scales. The workshop was in operation from about 1880 to 1900 so these scales date from that period. This set is particularly decorative with the beam in the form of elongated sturgeon or classical dolphins and this design is repeated throughout. The scales have a reeded column and there is an integral set of weights in the base. The set of weights is complete and ranges from a 1/4 kilo down to 5 grams. The whole set is in exceptional condition.
Dimensions: Height 59.5cm. Length 45cm. Width 16cm.
