Description from the seller
A Vintage Chrome Brass Telescope and Binocular – Complete with Original Cases – 1990s
Fascinating lot composed of a vintage telescope and a vintage binocular, both fully functional, each complete with its original case. Two instruments that combine collectible charm, build quality, and a strong visual impact, ideal for enthusiasts of optical instruments, collectors, and lovers of nautical and classic style decor.
The first telescope is a substantial brass chrome model, equipped with a refined leather-wrapped grip designed to ensure a secure hold and to limit the instrument’s heating during prolonged use under the sun. The quality of craftsmanship and its size make it a captivating object, perfect for observation as well as a prestigious decorative element.
The second is a pocket-styled small-format binocular, made as an elegant premium gadget. Compact and practical, it preserves the charm of traditional theater binoculars in a highly 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, high-quality optical instruments production. Displayed together they form a refined furnishing complement for professional studios, libraries, living rooms, or nautical-themed environments, in addition to being a highly interesting addition to any collection dedicated to optical instruments.
