COMPLETE PLUMB BOB. INTEGRATED HEAD.

Description:
- Complete construction plumb bob from the first half of the 19th century. The plumb bob likely originates from Central Europe.
- The weight body is made of bronze and is cylindrical in shape, featuring a top section consisting of a concave torus molding, a standard torus above that, and a teardrop-shaped finial.
- The weight is lathe-turned and features various horizontal grooves. It is vertically bored to allow the passage of the cord.
- The top block is the original one. It is made of wood, shaped like a rectangular prism (parallelepiped), and has a turned top section resembling a pear. It is vertically bored to allow the passage of the cord.
- The cord is NOT original to the period; a replacement has been attached.
- No distinguishing marks, manufacturer stamps, or hallmarks have been found that would provide information regarding the place of manufacture, the maker, or other details.

Conservation and Damage:
- The plumb bob is in a very good state of preservation; the weight shows several dings and scuffs on both its surfaces and edges. The bore of the top block shows some wear from the passage of the cord.
- A very fine, attractive patina is preserved across the entire plumb bob.
- The plumb bob shows wear consistent with it’s age.
