Description from the seller
Auction title:
Elegant Brass Telescope on a Wooden Tripod – Nautical Style – Optically Functional
Item description:
We present a unique decorative item that combines classic elegance with the antique look of historical scientific instruments. This brass telescope mounted on a dark wooden tripod is an ideal addition to a study, living room, or library.
Main product features:
• High-quality craftsmanship: The telescope body and mounting components are made of polished brass, giving it a luxurious, antique appearance.
• Fully functional: Unlike many purely figurative replicas, this telescope is fully optically functional. It features smooth focus adjustment via a knob, allowing the observation of distant objects.
• Adjustable height: The tripod folds for compact exposure. The height when the tripod is extended is about 45 cm, while when folded it is about 13 cm lower, making it a compact and stable interior element.
• Details: The item is equipped with a decorative chain on the objective cover and stable brass foot finishes.
• Item condition: The telescope is new and in perfect condition. It has no scratches or mechanical damage. The wood of the tripod is finished to emphasize the natural grain, which nicely complements the golden hue of the metal.
Although its primary function is decorative (eye-catcher), the ability to focus the image makes it an interesting gadget that will surely attract guests.
