AN EARLY-VICTORIAN LACQUERED BRASS GOULD-TYPE MICROSCOPE BY CARY, LONDON
Contained in a velvet-lined mahogany case doubling as the microscope's base, with three ivory specimen slides, multiple lenses and tools, the case measuring approx. 12.8cm x 11cm x 3.5cm
Ivory declaration reference: JKRC3E5G
Very good condition overall. Mahogany case is sound with a good rich consistent colour and only light knocks to edges. Velvet lining likewise very good, with light wear and fading in places. Microscope components are generally in very good order, though the mirror glass is mottled. Assembly is easy, with joints holding securely. Ivory slides worn and with surface dirt but structurally sound.
