작품 상세

An antique brass telescope on a tripod stand, characteristic of 19th-century or Victorian-era library telescopes, that would make a fine decorative or library piece. The main telescope barrel features a mahogany or walnut wood body, with brass fittings for the eyepiece, objective end, and mounting hardware. The tripod stand is a black, trifoot (three-legged) design, made of metal with a patinated finish. There is a chip in a glass lens and other wear, as photographed; optics still appear clear. This handsome piece measures approximately 39.5" x 9.75" x 29" tall.
