AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Interesting lot composed of two brass compasses with a strong dramatic impact, both functional and complete, ideal for collectors of nautical and military instruments or as refined maritime-themed decorative objects.
The first item is an original decorative naval telegraph made of brass and teak, inside which is integrated a mini compass perfectly functional with a diameter of about 5 cm. The telegraph structure features a base of about 6.5 cm x 6.5 cm and an overall height of about 17 cm. A striking piece that immediately evokes the traditional navigation environment.
The second item is a military belt compass in brass, also functioning, complete with its elegant teak case edged in brass and decorated with an anchor. The compass has a diameter of about 6 cm while the wooden box measures about 11 cm x 8 cm x 5 cm. A compact, solid instrument with a strong aesthetic character.
Both pieces combine functionality and decorative value, proving particularly dramatic when displayed in a study, on a bookshelf, or in a nautical-themed setting.
