The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

An antique boxwood clinometer level is a multi-functional surveying instrument developed in the nineteenth century to measure angles of inclination, vertical slopes, horizontal alignments, and magnetic bearings.

These instruments were predominantly constructed from dense boxwood bound with solid brass fittings, incorporating inset magnetic compasses, glass spirit level vials, and graduated brass hinges.

Authentic examples feature stamped or engraved measurement scales, brass fittings secured with flush screws, original patination across the wood and metal, and precise joint movement.

A boxwood clinometer can be styled flat on an office desk, displayed inside a glass specimen case, or integrated into a bookshelf arrangement alongside technical books and leatherbound volumes.

Keep the instrument in a climate-controlled environment away from direct heat sources to prevent boxwood warping, and dust gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth without harsh chemical cleaners.
