Beautiful three ancient brass weights, all dated 1776 and adorned with lilies, symbol of royal power under the old diet. These weights were used within the framework of trade or administration, with hand -engraved punches and Roman numerals (II, III, IIII, IIIII).
A beautiful history piece before the French Revolution, to collect or exhibit in a showcase of curiosities.
It is interesting to note that these 3 weights have remained together since 1766.
The scarcity of this set and its historical interest make it all its value.
