Dry card compass - Brass - Baignol & Farjon

One box, wooden with a blue velvet interior, includes several compasses, dividers, dry-point tips and accessories, including a piece marked “Baignol & Farjon.” The second box, black in color, also contains several precision instruments, but is incomplete and a few pieces are missing. An ancient ensemble in brass and steel, presenting a beautiful patina and signs of use consistent with its age.
