Description

Large Brass Nautical Telescope on Wood Tripod — Floor Standing Decor

A large-format solid brass telescope on an extending hardwood tripod, styled after 19th-century naval and observatory instruments. The substantial brass tube carries a warm oxidized patina, a chained dust cap at the objective end, and a knurled draw tube at the eyepiece. The adjustable brass saddle mount tilts and pans; the hardwood legs extend across a wide height range to suit the space.

Sold as a decorative display piece — it commands a room the way few objects can. A natural fit for a library, study, home office, or any nautical or explorer-themed interior. See Condition for full details.


CONDITION

Good — display condition only. Stands sturdy and presents well. Optical functionality cannot be confirmed and the telescope may not be correctly assembled; sold strictly for display. The brass shows honest oxidation and scattered surface abrasion throughout. Eyepiece draw tube tip shows wear.


DIMENSIONS

Tripod Height: 41.5" – 64.5"
Scope Length: 41.5"
