This antique three-draw telescope dates to the 19th century. Solidly crafted with brass draws and a brass barrel wrapped in leather, this antique telescope is a beautiful example of French optics. The optics are clear and the telescope still functions, a testament to its design and construction. The brass cap to the telescope is engraved “Made in France.” Through the mid-1700s, early telescopes were made of paper rolled into tubes with leather or vellum coverings. While the coverings provided some water resistance, this construction was not durable enough for extended use at sea or in other situations with damp or wet conditions. Luckily, the advancements in materials for telescopes followed the Industrial Revolution in Europe. During this period, the transition was made from fragile instruments susceptible to damage, to durable long-lasting telescopes that performed and survived even in adverse conditions.
