A magnificent example of 19th-century scientific craftsmanship.

Precision-engineered entirely in solid brass, this piece would have been used by professional surveyors and engineers to measure horizontal and vertical angles with meticulous accuracy during land and construction surveys.

Displaying exceptional patina and intricate mechanical design, this theodolite features a telescope sight, circular spirit levels, finely engraved angle scales, and multiple adjustment knobs.

It rests on a heavy-duty rotating base with three-point leveling screws and solid fittings. This instrument not only showcases historic engineering excellence but also serves as a stunning display piece for collectors of scientific instruments or as a unique decorative accent in a study, library, or office.

An excellent addition for antique collectors, historical educators, or those with a passion for early engineering tools.
