Antique Brass Field telescope. France, circa 1900
Antique brass field telescope, made in France circa 1900 and in working condition. This attractive instrument retains clear optics: the lenses are clean and allow for sharp long-distance viewing. It consists of four sections that retract into the main body, with smooth movement. The main body is clad in solid mahogany, a stylish detail that elevates the items appeal. The finish shows signs of wear and minor scuffs due to the telescopes age and use; these are not notable defects, but rather evidence of its history and the life it has led. The black finish on the eyepiece also shows some slight wear, but overall the telescope is well-preserved and retains all the essence of antique scientific instruments.
Both beautiful and authentic, this antique brass and mahogany field spyglass will stand out both as a decorative piece and for its functionality.
Dimensions: Folded: 14 cm. Unfolded: 41 cm.
