AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Fantastic brass articulated desk lens with a wooden base, a decorative and functional accessory in a classic, vintage, or nautical style.
An elegant tabletop magnifier with collectible and decorative appeal. It features a circular magnifying lens framed by a bright polished brass frame. The body stands out for its dual, articulated pantograph arm, inspired by 19th-century mechanical mechanisms, which allows full height and focal-angle adjustment via manual tightening screws.
It sits on a solid oval base of dark varnished hardwood, ensuring excellent stability and protection for surfaces.
Excellent overall condition. The articulation mechanisms are fully functional and the lens glass is clean, with no visible scratches affecting use.
A piece with strong visual impact, ideal for decorating office desks, libraries, or for collectors of optical and nautical instruments.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
