Vintage Brass Sextant – Nautical Navigation Instrument (Reproduction)

A classic mariner’s sextant in solid brass, made in the traditional style of 18th–19th century navigation instruments. This piece features a fully articulated frame with adjustable index arm, vernier scale, mirrors, and a small telescope, allowing it to function as both a display object and a working demonstration instrument.

Compact at approx. 12 cm overall, it has a satisfying weight and presence, with a warm aged brass finish that gives it strong visual appeal on a desk, shelf, or in a study. Ideal for collectors of maritime items, or anyone chasing that old-world exploration aesthetic.

Condition is good vintage-style with light surface marks and minor spotting to the brass, consistent with age or intentional ageing. Optics present; mechanism moves freely.
