Industrial art at its finest and an outstanding presentation piece for those who especially appreciate early maritime history
Presented is a beautiful museum quality polished brass 18-pillar double-frame sextant with an ebony handle by Spencer Browning & Rust London. This fine company is known to be one of England’s foremost instrument makers, and they were highly successful during their years in business. We have been pleased to offer their fine sextants/octants over the years, but this is the first double-frame Quintant that we have acquired. Most of our beautiful double-frame instruments have been from Troughton & Simms.
