Scales of Justice Patent Canvas Print, Vintage 1885 Wall Art
Price range: $29.99 through $34.99
This scales of justice patent canvas print reproduces an 1885 patent drawing of a two-pan balance scale on aged parchment, for an attorney, paralegal or law student who appreciates the history behind the symbol.
The plate draws the graduated beam, the sliding poise and both suspended pans in separate detail views, the kind of hand-inked precision a photo cannot match.
Made to order and hand-finished in our family workshop in Northeast Ohio, it is made in the USA and hangs with adhesive strips that hold securely without nails or tools and remove cleanly without wall damage.

Description
A beam balance on a rectangular pedestal – a graduated beam, a sliding poise and two suspended pans shown in their own detail views – fills this canvas in aged sepia tones on parchment. It comes in two sizes, 11×14 and 16×20, each available as gallery-wrapped canvas. As a scales of justice patent canvas print it arrives ready to hang, with the artwork already stretched and finished.
The drawing is dated 1885, a commercial weighing scale of the kind the whole patent-print market now sells under the name scales of justice, since a design like this is the shape the legal symbol is built on. Work like this predates digital rendering, so every line of the beam and pans was inked by hand rather than photographed. For an attorney, paralegal or law student building a collection of scales of justice decor and balance scale decor, it reads as a genuine piece of legal history rather than a styled reproduction.
This canvas is made to order and printed with fade-resistant inks in our family workshop in Northeast Ohio, made in the USA and hand-finished before it ships. It sits well next to other justice scales decor and vintage scale decor already on a home office or study wall, and holds its own for anyone building a legal-themed collection rather than a modern photo print.
Both the 11×14 and 16×20 canvas hang with adhesive strips that hold securely without nails or tools and remove cleanly without holes or wall damage, so it works as well in a law office reception area as it does in a home study. The gallery-wrapped canvas arrives ready to hang on its own.
Add this scales of justice patent canvas print to a home office, a study, or a reception space stocked with lawyer office decor favorites, and it arrives finished, ready to hang the day it’s unpacked.
Every order is made and packed by hand in our family shop in Northeast Ohio. We use premium gallery-wrapped canvas, high-quality frame material and fade-resistant inks for both prints and canvas. Each frame is made to order and shipped same or next business day.
