About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
A sophisticated set featuring a combination of vintage objects, ideal for enriching a bookcase, a professional study, or a collector's corner. This set combines the precision of nautical instrumentation with the sophistication of advertising graphics from the first half of the twentieth century. 1. Nautical Cardanic Compass (1960s) Splendid instrument in polished solid brass mounted on a solid base of fine wood. The cardanic system is in perfect working order and allows the compass to remain horizontal at 360°, compensating for any tilt. Details: Significant weight of 495g, certifying the quality of the materials. Height varies between 15 and 19 cm thanks to the joint; base with a diameter of 8.2 cm. Features a natural patina that enhances its vintage character. 2. Nestlé Chocolate Advertisement - Original PECO Ottawa (1920s - 1940s) Rare original advertising postcard produced in Canada by the famous Photogelatine Engraving Co. Limited (PECO). This is not a modern reproduction, but a vintage print made using the photogelatin technique, protected under its original glass and framed in a thin contemporary metal frame with a chain. Subject: The iconic "Little Girl with a Nest" by Firmin Bouisset. Details: Dimensions: 18 x 13.7 cm, depth: 0.5 cm. The back is perfectly preserved and features the original logo of the Canadian manufacturer. Condition: Both objects are in excellent condition for their age. Minor signs of use and patina are minimal, guaranteeing their authenticity, making them true conversation pieces.
