De forme parallélépipédique, la balance de buraliste se compose d'un support en bois recouvert de peinture noire. Elle est coiffée en partie supérieure d'une plaque de marbre blanc poli. Deux supports métalliques prenant la forme d'une croix dont les branches sont recourbées vers l'intérieur complètent l'ensemble. Le système complexe de balancier se trouve à l'intérieur de la boîte. Au centre de chacun des grands côtés de la boîte se trouvent deux cadrans en métal doré et munis d'une plaque de verre. Ils figurent la graduation. Deux petites doubles flèches bougent de haut en bas.
