The Victorian era is often associated with a period of great innovation and refinement in furniture and measuring instruments.
A perfect example is the oak Jockey scale, made by the London firm Youngs around 1860.
This scale is distinguished by its solid oak structure, typical of the period, with an upholstered seat adjacent to a brass scale.
The four weights of 4, 2, and 1 pounds, as well as 8 ounces, enable precise measurement.
The belt is finely carved with rosette friezes, adding a decorative touch to the ensemble.
The four turned and fluted feet, ending in brass castors, ensure both stability and mobility.
John Young & Son, holders of a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria, operated in London from 1812 to 1901.
They are listed as "Manufacturers of Scales" and "Manufacturer of Ladders for Her Majesty".
This Jockey scale is not only a measuring instrument, but also a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Victorian era.
It reflects the importance placed on precision and aesthetics in measuring instruments of the period.
Today, it is considered a rare and valuable piece, sought after by collectors and antique enthusiasts alike.
In short, this scale is an emblematic piece that combines functionality, beauty and history.
