This striking floor-standing harbor master telescope features a polished solid brass barrel and a secondary finder scope, mounted on a sturdy, extendable mahogany-finished wooden tripod with brass fixtures. Measuring approximately 113cm in height (with the tripod not fully extended) and 97.5cm in width, the instrument is richly detailed with nautical engravings and a compass rose dial reading "Howes, 79 Leader Hall St. London, From: Dollonds 1941." While its aesthetic leans toward a masterful decorative reproduction of vintage maritime equipment, its substantial scale offers a sophisticated "old-world" library or coastal home aesthetic.
Condition Report:
The item is in good vintage condition with a natural aged patina and clear optics. The wooden tripod is structurally sound with light scuffing consistent with age.
