Antique Field Camera, Lysioskop Lens. Circa 1900

Antique field bellows camera in very good condition and with a remarkable decorative look. The camera is fully made of light-colored mahogany wood, very well preserved and beautiful. Itwas made in the early 20th century (circa 1900) and mounts a Lysioskop Sarie I Nº2 objective, original from the time and in great working order. The black bellows shows a size that might not be right for the cameras design (it's larger); this feature could indicate that it is not the original one. The bellows cannot be properly folded so the camera must remain extended. Nevertheless, the bellows is finely preserved and turns the camera into a gorgeous piece with a great decorative potential. Both the wooden and the brass component parts (locks, plates, etc.) are in great condition and so is the rear translucent glass pane which remains complete and with no cracks. For its authenticity and aesthetic beauty, this antique field bellows camera will stand out in a stylish room or study, or as part of a good collection of antique cameras. Measurements: Camera: Width: 8.66 in / 22 cm. Height: 10.43 in / 26.5 cm. Rear Glass Pane: 18 x 13 cm.
