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

A ship clinometer is a maritime navigational instrument used to measure the angle of a vessels heel or pitch relative to the horizon.

Most antique marine clinometers are constructed from solid brass or bronze to resist saltwater corrosion, featuring engraved numerical scales and glass tube indicators.

Authentic pieces generally feature maker stamps or patent engravings, precise hand-engraved measurement markings, heavy cast metal frames, and period-appropriate mounting brackets.

These instruments make compelling accent pieces when displayed flat on a desk, integrated into a bookshelf arrangement, or mounted as decorative wall art.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip natural age patination or obscure finely engraved numerical markings.
