About the Item

Rare and fascinating educational mechanical model dating from the 19th century, made of bronze and mounted on a fine wood base. This type of object was used for educational purposes, often in technical or engineering schools, to illustrate motion transmission mechanisms or complex kinematic systems. The mechanism is finely crafted in brass (gilt bronze), with precise joints attached to a solid wood panel. This is a historical piece that is both decorative and educational, perfect for a cabinet of curiosities, a scientific collection, or an industrial or steampunk-style interior.
