Taxiphote column stereoscopic viewer, good condition and tested and working.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Extraordinary early 20th-century column stereoscopic viewer, crafted in elegant solid wood with a warm, uniform finish, making it a highly charming decorative and historical object. The structure is built vertically with a solid molded base, a wide front door, and an upper body housing the optical binocular system, typical of public salon or gallery viewers. The top features a pair of side-by-side circular lenses and a side control lever, likely used for advancing the internal images, along with small metal plaques with original inscriptions that enhance the piece's museum-like appearance. On the sides, knobs and mechanical components are visible, suggesting manual rotation operation, while the front door hints at an internal compartment for the mechanism and possible lighting. Overall, this is a rare collectible artifact, ideal for enthusiasts of optical instruments, early cinema, and pre-cinematic devices, perfect as a centerpiece in a study, gallery, or exhibition dedicated to the history of imagery.
