This section brings together our archive of sold surveying antiques, comprising surveying, measurement, land surveying and engineering instruments that were previously available at Antiguedades.es and are now part of private collections, architectural practices, universities, museums and technical institutions. This historical archive documents the evolution of some of the most important precision instruments used to measure and represent the land.
Among the pieces that have passed through our gallery are antique theodolites, surveying levels, graphometers, pantographs, inclinometers, slide rules, surveyors' compasses, levelling staffs, planimeters and other instruments used for centuries in civil engineering, architecture, cartography and public works. Many of these instruments retained their original cases, optics, graduated scales, tripods, accessories or makers' plates, features that are especially appreciated by collectors and researchers.
This archive provides an insight into the evolution of surveying, from the earliest mechanical instruments to the sophisticated precision equipment used throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Each piece reflects the technological advances that made it possible to produce maps, design infrastructure, build roads, bridges, canals and railways, and contribute to the development of modern engineering.
This archive should be regarded as a historical catalogue of sold surveying antiques rather than an active sales section. If you would like to browse the pieces currently available, please visit our antique surveying and engineering instruments for sale, where we regularly add carefully selected new acquisitions.
The instruments preserved in this archive are an excellent source of information for surveyors, engineers, architects, historians of science and collectors of scientific instruments. They make it possible to compare manufacturers, measuring systems, mechanical solutions, materials and designs that shaped the evolution of surveying and precision engineering.
If any of these instruments serves as a reference for a future acquisition, please feel free to contact us. We will be pleased to let you know whether we have a similar example available or notify you when a related surveying or engineering antique is added to our catalogue.
