A good 19th-Century jeweller's balance,
with an ivory plaque for VANDOME TITFORDS & PAWSON LONDON, in a glazed mahogany-framed case -- 54cm. (21¼in.) high
See Colour Illustration
The steel beam holds two tin pans, each with a second pan with a lip handle resting inside. At the centre of the beam is a small plummet and an index arm extending upwards to align with an index fixed in the beam support, visible within an integrated circle of steel with an ivorine backing. The rectangular brass upright support for the balance moves up and down by means of a lever at the base and two small rollers, within two sleeves mounted on a turned brass column. The column is fixed via a triangular ferrule to the mahogany base plate. At the front of the base plate is the ivorine plaque and thirteen spaces for brass weights, eleven of which are present (numbered 3, 4, 8, 8, 16, 32, 64, 100, 200, 300, 500). There is also a compartment containing three fraction weights. The front panel of the case slides upwards and the whole base with the balance can be slid out.
