BRONZE WEIGHT SET. STAMPS AND MARKS. 19TH CENTURY.

Description:
- Attractive set of eight block weights, featuring stamps. Complete set.
- We believe all weights in the set are original except for one: the second-to-last one (10 g). We think that specific weight is modern, made expressly for this set.
- All of them bear stamps on the top, sides, and base. Perhaps the most distinctive stamp is a heart, found on the largest weight (500 g) and the 50 g weight.
- The last three weights raised the most doubts regarding their authenticity; as they show the least signs of use, they can be questionable. However, we maintain that only one of them is modern—the 10 g weight.
- The wooden base holding the set is also modern, made specifically for these weights. It is crafted from high-quality solid wood.
- It features a simple yet very elegant design. Most of the weights show significant wear and dings due to heavy use.
- Regarding the base itself, the exact type of wood is unknown.
- The weights are: 5 hectograms, 2 hectograms, two of 1 hectogram, 5 decagrams, two of 1 decagram, and 5 grams.

Conservation and Damage:
- The set is in good condition.
- Shows dings and scuffs due to age and use.
- Retains a spectacular period patina.
- The item shows wear consistent with it's age.
