American Zograscope on Maple Stand
A very handsome Zograscope, American made, on a very attractive turned maple stand. A Zograscope was a device invented in the 18th century for magnifying pictures, and giving them a slightly three-dimensional look. They were found largely in upper-class homes, and have a metal plate to which one places an image or illustration, and a large round magnifying lens through which one views the picture. This one is on a particularly handsome stand of turned dark wood, probably maple. The back plate and magnifying lens are wood framed and hinged at the top. Size: 25 1/4 inches tall. The round base is 9 inches in diameter. The frame for the glass and plate is 11 1/2 inches wide.
Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $80.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. Discounts given on combined lot shipping.
Condition:
Very good plus condition. The finish on the back plate is speckled with minor losses to the once mirrored finish. The Zograscope works extremely well.
