AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A fascinating set for technical drawing and geometry, consisting of compasses, dividers, and brass instruments, kept in its original wooden case lined internally with blue velvet.

The set includes several adjustable instruments, with interchangeable inserts (tips, leads, pen holders), typical of professional tools used by engineers, architects, and technicians between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The turned brass machining and the mechanical solutions reflect a production of quality, intended for specialized use.

The case, complete, shows normal signs of wear consistent with its age, as do the tools, which display an original patina and slight tarnish, without compromising readability and the historical charm of the set.

Ideal for:
• collectors of antique scientific instruments
• enthusiasts of technical drawing and architecture
• furniture for a study or library
• museum or decorative display

Condition: good for the era; signs of wear and aging present.
Materials: brass, steel, wood, velvet.
Period: late 19th – early 20th century.
Sold as shown in the photo.

The latches for closing the box are missing.
