Large Mahogany/brass Telescope, 1m, C. 1860
Artist: Inconnu
Large marine telescope measuring 1m closed, 1m15 unfolded and 8cm at its widest. It is not signed. Its conical barrel allows us to date it around 1850-1860. It is made of mahogany and brass. The objective is equipped with two lenses forming an achromatic doublet. The telescope gives a good image. One screw is not original and there is a little play between the brass part towards the objective and the central mahogany part but the instrument is still manageable and usable. Old polishing.
