Description
Rare Louis XV-era monocular viewing box A large model for viewing wooden optical scenes, featuring a drawer with its original handle for storing the scenes; the two original iron side handles are also present. Pyramid-shaped with a monocular lens. The viewer would look through the lens and, via a system of internal mirrors, see the optical picture, which was laid flat, creating a three-dimensional effect. Dimensions at the base: 57 x 43 cm; Height: 84 cm Lens diameter: 10 cm Rediscovered in a castle attic, it has a few minor imperfections and is sold as is.
