Large Early Nineteenth Century Gallery Glass or Library Glass

19th century
Description

For sale, a very large early Nineteenth Century Gallery Glass or Library Glass

Comprised of a turned mahogany surround holding a huge eight inch lens with a turned mahogany handle connected by a generous brass ferrule screwed to the base.

One of the largest of its type that I have handled measuring ten inches in diameter, this example retains most of its original lacquer to the brasswork and although it does have some scratches to the ten o clock position of the lens it does not effect its function.

A very imposing magnifier which would have been used in either a library or gallery setting to allow closer visual inspection.

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.
