Antique Boxed Set Of Early Brass Jewellers / Apothecary Weights Rare
Posted by admin On May 9, 2026



This is a charming set of antique brass balance weights, dating from the 19th century. Originally used by apothecaries for weighing medicines or by jewellers for weighing precious metals and gemstones, this set offers a wonderful glimpse into historical trade, science, and precision. The weights are housed in their original, beautifully antiqued and hand-crafted wooden box. The brass weights have a noticeable patina from age and are stamped with alphanumeric characters e.’a’,’b’,’c’,’d’ arranged in pentagonal borders and other decorative symbols. They were designed for precise measurement, indicated by the threaded hole on their base. The set is missing its 1g weight. The box measures approximately 13 cm L x 6.5 cm H x 5.5 cm D. Please study the photos for condition as this forms part of the description.

Coffee roaster, rare early type, 18th century
Posted by admin On May 8, 2026
Coffee Roaster – a rare antique hand-held wrought iron coffee bean roaster, believed to be Italian or of an Italian design (I recall seeing one of these in Italy) and dating from the 18th century or early 19th century. The ball-end is placed in the embers of the hearth, and turned frequently for an even roast. The piece measures 64cm long and the ball is about 12cm diameter. I’ve successfully roasted fresh coffee beans, then ground them in a manual grinder – all very satisfying. With some practice it delivers a smoky rich coffee – for a unique Capuccino before 10.30 only please… Neoplolitan standards must be maintained, or a cheeky machiato or espresso to accompany your afternoon fritelli venexiana standing at the banco, of course, an emotion best recollected in tranquility. It’s also a great mystery object talking-piece. The exterior has been given an ocassional light rub with bees wax to inhibit corrosion – a treatment I’m considering myself.
