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.

This Victorian scientific instrument comprises a brass pantograph with various small precision adjustment screws, hinges, and attachments laid out in front of its fitted mahogany case. The long rectangular case has a warm brown timber finish, hinged brass lids and locks, and internal dividers lined with green felt. Three visible details not mentioned by the dealer are the polished gold tone of the brass components, the vibrant green colour of the interior textile lining, and the rectangular dovetail-style joins visible on the wooden partitions inside the box. Measuring 13 cm high, 101.5 cm wide, and 18 cm deep, the case opens flat to store the delicate drafting tool securely. In a contemporary home, this piece suits placement on an office desk, library table, or cabinet shelf as a decorative conversation piece reflecting 19th-century technical precision. Collectors of scientific instruments or antique drafting tools will appreciate the completeness of the accessories, which include small brass pins, hinged bars, and adjustment dials alongside the main folding framework. The warm tones of the timber and the bright metal parts provide an appealing display when arranged either inside the partitioned interior or laid out beside the open storage box.

FAQs

A pantograph is a mechanical linkage instrument designed to copy, enlarge, or reduce technical drawings, maps, and architectural plans to a precise scale.

High-quality 19th-century pantographs were typically constructed from brass arms with steel pivots and ivory or brass castors, presented within fitted mahogany storage boxes lined with felt.

Authentic pieces feature hand-engraved scales, stamped maker marks or serial numbers, dovetailed joinery on the wooden case, and period-correct brass patina rather than modern lacquer.

A cased pantograph is ideal for desk or shelving displays in a study, library, or office, where the open lid reveals the fitted interior and brass components.

Dust components gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoid harsh chemical polishes that strip historical patina, and keep the wooden case in a climate-controlled environment to prevent warping.
