Ship's compass - Brass, Glass, Wood - onbekend - Dry compass in a case

A beautiful, authentic 19th-century ship compass with a Cardan rose compass (it swings with the sea motion to stay level). In a brass housing and Cardan ring, mounted in a wooden storage box with dovetail joints. Compass rose: Classic wind rose with an elegant Fleur-de-lis (French lily) indicating North. In good used/vintage condition with a natural patina on the brass and light signs of aging on the wood and the rose, giving it an authentic character. Beautiful as a decorative nautical collectible, for a desk, in a display cabinet, or for lovers of sailing and antique instruments! Diameter of the compass is 13.5 cm. Many photos have been added so the condition of the compass can be well assessed. Photos are part of the description. The compass will be very well packed, insured and sent by registered mail with a track and trace code. Also see my other listings and possibly save on shipping costs. Not shipped to the United States.

Estimate:£5.86
