1878 Miniature London Almanac in Six-fold Brass Glazed Travelling Mount

19th century
Description

A miniature 1878 London Almanac, mounted in a high quality bespoke brass glazed mount, which folds to the size of a single leaf for transport.

Double-sided January to June to one side and July to December the other. The brass case has a very good weight with delicate engravings to the front and sides. All hinges operate smoothly. No cracks or chips to any glass panel. There is some browning to the pages in areas as is to be expected but generally the whole is in a very good condition indeed.

A charming and unusual example.

This 19th-century Victorian desk accessory takes the form of a miniature London almanac within a six-fold brass glazed travelling mount. The warm gold metal housing features delicate engravings along the outer borders, glass panels protecting each printed paper page, and operational hinges connecting the folding frame. The object stands 6.25 cm high, measures 21.5 cm wide when fully extended, and is 0.6 cm deep. Placed on an office desk in a gentleman's library, the folding almanac provides a functional and decorative display of 1878 typography. The double-sided paper leaves display months from January to December across the six panels, showing browning in areas consistent with age. The brass case holds a substantial weight, with the glass panels remaining free of cracks or chips and the hinges operating smoothly.

FAQs

Miniature London almanacs were tiny printed calendars produced in nineteenth-century Britain, designed to fit into small pockets or decorative folding mounts for daily reference whilst travelling.

These mounts were predominantly constructed from brass, silver, or electroplated metal, incorporating thin glass panels to protect the delicate printed paper pages inside a hinged folding frame.

Authentic period examples feature crisp typography on age-appropriate paper stock, natural tarnish on hand-assembled metalwork, and precise folding mechanisms with fine decorative engraving.

Position the unfolded frame flat on an executive desk, display it within a glass cabinet of curiosities, or style it on a library shelf alongside leather-bound volumes.

Store the item away from direct sunlight to prevent paper discolouration, dust the brass exterior gently with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoid liquid polished solutions that could seep into the glazed panels.
