Description

An Art deco period (1930) stainless steel and brass telescope on an adjustable tripod stand. The instrument is well made with fine threads coupling the barrels. The brass eyepiece has a lens shutter. It has excellent lenses which produce a clear bright image with excellent magnification.(See last two photographs and note the magnified image is extremely difficult to capture in a photograph and is much much clearer when viewed with the eye).The telescope is attached to the stand with two brass screw adjusted clamps and can be removed with ease. The stand is stable and can rotate horizontaly. The knuckle joint allows angular movement. It further adjusts vertically on a spiked strut which can be extracted enabling the telescope to be mounted on a suitable base when in rough ground. The magification is sufficient to observe the moons craters well.

Height unextended 40 cm extended about 56 cm. Length normally focussed about 61cm

Diameter of the objective lens about 4 cm and the main barrel 4.4 cm

Brass focussing barrel diameter about 4 cm and the spread of the feet of the base 23 cm

OVERSEAS buyers please ask for shipping costs before purchasing.

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.

FAQs

Art Deco optical instruments typically feature streamlined geometries, polished metal finishes, and a combination of functional utility with sleek, modernist design aesthetics prevalent during the 1920s and 1930s.

These instruments were predominantly constructed from solid brass, nickel-plated steel, and glass lenses, frequently mounted on adjustable metal tripod stands or weighted bases.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate manufacturing marks, hand-finished metal components, natural patination, and optical glass lenses rather than modern plastics.

Position the instrument prominently on a study desk, library bookshelf, or side table to add a layer of industrial sophistication and intellectual curiosity to the room.

Maintain the metal surfaces with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to avoid removing the desired patina, and clean optical lenses gently using specialised lens cleaning solutions.
