Description from the seller
Title: Coronet Consul 6x9 Box Camera - Custom Edition "Art Déco / Roaring Twenties"
Lotto Description
We present at auction a fantastic one-of-a-kind collectible: a classic box camera Coronet Consul (made in Birmingham, England) completely customized and elevated to a visual art piece through meticulous aesthetic restoration and artistic coating.
Craftsmanship & Period Design:
The decoration of this specimen is the result of careful philological and stylistic study of the period when the camera was most widespread. The design of the new coating recalls the visual language of the decorative arts of the 1920s and 1930s (Art Déco), characterized by elegant geometries in emerald green, midnight blue, and gold tones, enriched with period iconography (details of classic cars, steam locomotives, vintage beach umbrellas, and bold graphic motifs). I wanted to interpret a era of rebirth with the desire to capture life in its moments of splendor, events, parties, and family lives on festive days. The atmosphere behind every single shot of these medium-format cameras was always celebratory, even for frames of everyday life, as we can still appreciate today.
Materials Quality & Workmanship:
The standard original plastic-coated surface has been replaced/enriched with a high-strength technical material chosen to ensure high durability against wear and time. The surface has undergone an additional protective and waterproofing treatment, which provides protection from humidity and stains, while also giving a pleasant tactile and satin visual effect.
Technical Features and Conditions:
Brand/Model: Coronet Consul
Country of manufacture: England (Birmingham)
Film format: 120 (6x9 cm negative format)
Viewfinders: Dual bright reflex viewfinder with adjustable metal blades
Controls: Shutter selector and integrated filter
Aesthetic conditions: Excellent (handcrafted customization never used in the field)
Mechanical conditions: The shutter and shutter-release mechanisms respond to controls (sold as a collectible/display piece)
An unmissable opportunity to enrich your collection with a unique object that unites the history of British photography with the charm of Art Déco design.
