Description from the seller
Vintage Brass Telescopes in Chrome – Complete with Original Cases – 1990s
Fascinating lot composed of two vintage telescopes, both fully functional, each complete with its respective original case. Two instruments that combine collectible charm, solid construction, and strong visual impact, ideal for enthusiasts of optical instruments, collectors, and lovers of nautical and classic-style interior decor.
The first telescope is an important brass chrome model, equipped with an removable sunshade and a refined leather-wrapped grip designed to ensure a secure handle and to limit the instrument's overheating during prolonged use in sunlight. The quality of craftsmanship and its dimensions make it a highly appealing object, perfect both for observation and as a prestigious decorative element.
The second is a pocket telescope in stilus/pen format, made as an elegant high-end gadget. Compact and practical, it preserves all the charm of traditional nautical spyglasses in a portable version. It is also fully functional and complete with the original lenses.
Both instruments date from the 1990s and represent an interesting testimony of decorative optical instrument production of quality. Displayed together they form a refined furnishing complement for professional studios, libraries, lounges, or nautical-themed environments, as well as a highly valuable addition to any collection dedicated to optical instruments.
