It was listed by In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the 1900s.
It also comes with its protective end cap.
It measures approximately 50" (127cm) long up to 53" (134cm) when extended.
The telescope sits atop a short folding metal tripod. It has a fixing bracket which tightens around the tube and allows the telescope to swivel completely around and move up and down. It stands approximately 22" (56cm) high.
Both the telescope and stand are in excellent condition and display beautifully - a real statement piece. The telescope has clearly been well looked after and there are no major damages, it has only suffered some minor dinks and small knocks to the tube. The lenses are undamaged and produce a clear and crisp image with an incredible range. Please bare in mind the telescope is 100 years old and the lenses will not be like new. There are some small specks of dirt on the lenses but it is perfectly useable.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions at all please ask. UK Delivery £30.
