AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautiful, high-quality compass and drawing instrument set from the renowned German manufacturer C. Riefler from Nesselwang, Bavaria. This complete set exudes the precision and craftsmanship for which German technical instruments have been valued worldwide.

The set is housed in the original case with a green velvet interior and contains various brass and steel drawing instruments, including compasses, a precision dividing compass, extensions, a drawing pen, and several interchangeable accessories. The instruments are nicely finished and bear the signatures Riefler and D.R.P. (Deutsches Reichspatent).

The company Clemens Riefler was founded in 1841 in Bavaria and grew to become one of Germany’s leading producers of scientific and technical precision instruments. Riefler gained international fame with its innovative compass constructions and high-quality drawing instruments for architects, engineers, cartographers, and technical drafters. The famous “Round System” compasses from Riefler became a reference within the professional drawing world from the late 19th century.

This set is a tangible reminder of the era when technical drawings were still produced entirely by hand. Not only a special collectible for lovers of the history of science and technical heritage, but also a decorative object that sits beautifully on a desk, in a library, or in a collection of scientific instruments.
