Victorian London 1915 Brass Double-Barrel Telescope on Tripod Stand

Victorian London 1915 Brass Double-Barrel Telescope on Tripod Stand - 14" | Online8 New Zealand

This 14" double-barrel brass telescope sits on a compact tripod stand, styled after the classic Victorian London instruments of 1915. Handmade in brass with an antique finish, it's a working table-top telescope and a characterful nautical accent for a desk, study, bookshelf or coastal-themed living room.

Why It Stands Apart

• Double-barrel design: A main telescope paired with a parallel barrel gives it the look of a classic Victorian observation instrument.
• Genuinely functional: Offers 15x magnification, so it's as much fun to use as it is to display.
• Simple pull-out focus: Slide the last tube in or out to bring your view into sharp focus.
• Brass sunshade: A pull-out shade over the lens helps cut glare and reflection.
• Table-top tripod: Sized to sit neatly on a desk, side table or shelf rather than taking up floor space.
• Handmade brass: Handcrafted in India with an antique brass finish, so every piece has its own character.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I focus it?
Gently slide the last section of the tube in or out until the image is sharp.

Is it a floor-standing telescope?

Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Each telescope is handmade in brass, so slight variations in finish and patina are normal and part of its charm.
