Victorian Marine Brass Telescope — Collapsible Antique Spyglass

This Victorian-style marine brass telescope combines classic nautical design with decorative craftsmanship. The collapsible brass barrel extends smoothly into a working spyglass whose lower section features ornate engraved floral/scrollwork detailing; the finish shows a warm, polished patina that suits both display and gentle use. The telescope stores securely inside a handcrafted wooden box with brass corner inlays and locking latches; its interior is lined in dark green felt to protect the brass and lens surfaces. A brass plaque on the lid references “Victorian Marine Telescope” and gives a vintage look that enhances provenance and shelf appeal. Use it as an eye-catching piece of nautical décor, a photography or film prop, or a thoughtful gift for collectors, sailors, and history enthusiasts. Lightweight and compact when collapsed, it fits easily on mantels, desks, and bookshelf vignettes; its tactile brass and wood materials make it ideal for vintage-themed interiors and steampunk displays. Whether you’re staging a window display, curating a marine collection, or gifting a memorable keepsake, this telescope offers both aesthetic charm and collectible character.
