About the Item
This is an antique telescope, an English six-draw terrestrial or maritime instrument, dating to the Victorian period, circa 1860.
Perfect for bird watching, landscape appreciation, wildlife, or maritime observation. Equally suitable for observing the night sky.
A pleasingly rare six-draw configuration, seldom seen in Victorian field optics
Crafted in lightly aged brass, displaying a rich golden patina across the tubes
Primary barrel dressed in a gently time-worn leather jacket, offering tactile charm
Features a sliding sun shade to the objective end, enhancing clarity in bright conditions
Swivel dust cover to the eyepiece for protection when not in use
Smooth draw action throughout, with a well-engineered mechanical feel
Designed for terrestrial observation or recreational maritime use
Supplied with a London Fine oak and brass 'Captain's Stand' for display
A desirable addition to collections of scientific instruments, Victorian travel gear, or nautical antiques
Elegant and functional, this six-draw telescope exemplifies mid 19th century British craftsmanship, ideal for display in a study, observatory, or gentleman’s cabinet of curiosities. Delivered ready to enjoy or display.
