Description

An early 19thC small single draw telescope by Troughton and Simms of London. Made early in the partnership which commenced in 1826 to a very high standard. Mahogany barrel with brass tubes and fittings. Excellent lenses which despite its size enables the moons craters to be observed. Tight action with one minor dent to the focusing tube. Sliding shutter to the eyepiece but the brass objective lens cap is lacking. Minor longitudinal cracks to the mahogany barrel but of no consequence. Unusual size and In my opinion a little beauty. The mahogany stand is later but it displays the scope well as well as keeping it safe.

Fully open 46 cm

Fully closed 27.5 cm

Max diameter 4 cm

Date of Manufacture

The Antique Partnership has dated this piece to the 19th Century.

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

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.
