In the early 1900s grand clifftop and beach homes would have been considered incomplete without an impressive brass telescope on the balcony. This reproduction is elegant but also highly functional, magnifying 14 times with a large object lens of 50mm. Focusing is by finger-tip twist control, from about 40 metres to infinity. Barrel length 1m fully extended. The hardwood tripod can be adjusted for height from 85-150cm and has chunky solid brass fittings.
