Victorian Sextant in Mahogany Case

19th century
Description

Victorian sextant in its original mahogany veneered case. The sextant is brass with a silvered gauge with the degrees on it and a very stylish ebonised grip. There is a Glasgow makers label on the actual sextant which looks like ‘A.Debbie Glasgow’ who would have been the maker of the piece. It has a movable arm which is lockable. The glass prism is mounted and framed. There are various other adjustable and coloured lenses for eye protection. There are 3 in circular casings and 4 in rectangular cases with rounded ends. There are 3 different lenses which can be interchanged - one of the lenses is cracked. All the movable pieces have good action, there is no corrosion. The case has four different retailers labels – a brass one inside the case ‘James Murray, Calcutta’ and 3 paper labels on top of one another inside the lid. The case is mahogany with a brass screw down lid and open dovetails, with some old repairs.

Most items include delivery anywhere in the UK mainland.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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.
