Brass telescope with brown leather casing in a wooden box

Brown leather-clad brass telescope in a wooden box. Length 38 cm.

The leather covering

Nautical telescopes were covered in leather so they would not slip in wet hands, and to prevent the metal from becoming too cold in chilly weather. The brown leather evokes this tradition—and during use, it truly provides a better grip than bare brass.

Wooden box included

The 38 cm telescope arrives in its own wooden box, so it requires no additional gift wrapping and is protected from dust between uses. Perfect as a nautical gift, for a study, or a seafaring-themed shelf.
