Description
A fine and complete Victorian brass and mahogany apothecary balance scale by the respected makers Day & Millward Limited, clearly stamped to the beam. A well presented example combining polished brass with a rich mahogany base. The scale is elegantly constructed with a central column supporting a precision balance arm with twin hanging pans. The original brass weights are present and sit neatly within a fitted mahogany tray, making this a complete and highly usable set. Day & Millward were well known manufacturers of scientific and weighing instruments in the 19th century, producing reliable equipment for chemists, laboratories and commercial use. Their patented designs were valued for accuracy and durability which adds to the appeal of this piece today. In its original setting this type of scale would have been used by chemists to carefully measure ingredients for medicines where precision was essential. Today it makes a striking decorative piece while still retaining practical interest. Date: 1880 Origin: English
