J H Steward Lord Bury Brass Telescopwe with Leather Case London Ca. 1870

About the Item

J H Steward Brass Telescope. The Lord Bury Telescope comes with a leather case. The brass and leather both. are very patinated. Not only is the brass tarnished, but there are a few dings and some scratches, however it is still quite functional. We sell our pieces for decorative purposes and this piece is highly decorative, while collapsed, opened or in the leather case, it's a bonus that it also works. We are not experts in the field of telescopes, but the maker is very well known and this piece is believed to be from ca. 1870. The telescope collapsed is 10.5" long and 1.88" in diameter. We love this piece in a room that is finely decorated like Ralph Lauren - or a lovely british or Irish room, heavy in color, books, and textures like tartan plaids. A captains prized possession can be yours or that or your classically decorated rooms.
