Details

An antique Compas A porte-mine mobile compass case.

This set of compasses comes in a solid wood box with brass inlay and brass fittings. The box does not contain the key.

The case is lined with velvet and silk. On the lid we can read COMPAS A PORTE-MINE MOBILE, it has a folding lined plate, behind which there is another flat compartment.

This set of compasses was of very high quality for the time. Today it is a wonderful collector's item for any collector and also for those interested in architectural drawing or the history of industrial design.

By lifting up the tool tray, one can access a lower storage compartment.

Box dimensions: 24.2 cm, 16 cm, 4.7 cm.
