Though petite, measuring just 6" tall, this adorable scale commands attention with its sophisticated design and its polished brass frame and a luxurious, highly-veined Tiger-Eye Onyx base. Supported by three small, ornate stylized feet at the base.

This piece is purely decorative. The scale arms and pans are fixed and do not move, meaning it is not a functional measuring instrument. Its charm lies entirely in its form and historical aesthetic. It is an ideal accent piece for a kitchen shelf, a bookcase, or a curated office display, adding a layer of vintage je ne sais quoi to any setting. See less
