Vintage Scales

I picked these beautiful scales up on trademe for $10 and thought they were awesome.  It sat on my wine cabinet for a few weeks until I decided to give them a brighter lease of life.

Colour of choice - ASCP florence and graphite with clear and dark wax.

Finished product

I love the ornateness and uniqueness of this piece.  Instead of painting the whole piece, I kept the face of the scales as a symbol of age of the scales.  I've fallen in love this these scales, so much so that I am holding back from collecting more pieces like this.

Happy living peeps!
