Antique Late 19th Century Brass Telescope

Antique late 19th century small brass telescope

This antique brass telescope features four extendable tubes and comes with its original leather case. Produced in Europe in the late 19th century, it was likely used aboard a ship, making it a fine example of nautical craftsmanship from the period.

A striking addition to any maritime collection, the telescope remains both charming and functional – and could still serve admirably when scanning the horizon for pirates.

After more than a century, it is in good overall condition, showing signs of age and use. Over time, the brass has developed a rich, natural patina that enhances its character and historic appeal.
