AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

English brass pocket compass and magnifier, c.1920–1940

An unusual English pocket compass and magnifier in brass, the small compass set beneath glass within a domed mount. The circular magnifying lens pivots neatly from the oval case, while a suspension loop allows the instrument to be worn on a chain or watch fob.

Marked MADE IN ENGLAND to the reverse.

The brass retains an attractive, naturally aged patina, with surface wear and oxidation consistent with age and use. The glass and magnifying lens show some age-related wear.

Dimensions: 4.5 × 2.5 cm.

Seller's Story

An eclectic collection of antiques and decorative objects, reflecting the character, charm and understated elegance of the English country house.
