Cameras of this general wooden folding plate form were widely produced in Britain around the late Victorian and Edwardian period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe front standard has a particularly nice architectural appearance, with an ornate circular lens panel, adjustable fittings and a small optical finder mounted above. The bellows extend from the wooden body along the metal bed, making this a great decorative piece even when not being used photographically.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original lens is not present, as shown in the photographs, and I have not identified a maker's mark, so it is being sold primarily as an antique photographic collectible or display piece rather than as usable camera equipment. There is general age-related wear, tarnishing and marking throughout, all consistent with its considerable age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasures approximately 19 × 14 × 10.5 cm \/ 7.5 × 5.5 × 4.1 inches.","brand":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56848251519362,"sku":"15-08-26-N-30-S-3B","price":155.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/1405\/9185\/files\/il_fullxfull.8433090059_7wsf.jpg?v=1786791830","url":"https:\/\/circusofcurios.com\/products\/antique-c-1900-mahogany-folding-plate-camera-black-bellows-early-photography-display-piece","provider":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
