Marvel at this rare pharmacist's balance dating from 1889, manufactured by the famous company Becker’s Sons in Rotterdam, a pioneer in precision metrology instruments. Distributed at the time by Brewer Frères, exclusive agents for France, this piece embodies the elegance and scientific rigor of the late 19th century.

Description:

This exceptional balance was used for high-precision weighing in pharmacies or laboratories. It is composed of:

• a 4-sided glass structure, in varnished wood, with two lateral guillotine doors,

• two brass pans suspended from a central beam, with a knob adjustment system,

• a lower drawer containing the original box with precision weights (in brass and aluminum), protected in specific velvet-lined compartments,

• a manufacturer's plate, original instructions and authentic markings.

Condition:

• Exceptional state of preservation, entirely original.

• Balance tested, functional and precise.

• No missing parts to report, except for the absence of the drawer key, which does not affect its use or aesthetics.
