Old geometry drawing compass set, nickel-plated metal, black case

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Old set of drawing compasses and geometry instruments, presented in its black-covered case with blue interior. A workshop-style set, combining nickel-plated metal and neat presentation.

Description

The box contains several technical drawing instruments, including a main compass and visible complementary accessories, made of silver-finished metal, with knurled adjustment wheels, fine points, and articulated elements.

The case has a blue interior lining, compartmentalized to hold the instruments. The black outer cover, with a distinct grain, retains a beautiful presence as an old utility object, with its contrast between the dark casing and the light metal parts.

Context

This type of box belongs to the world of geometric drawing, schoolwork, technical or workshop use. Old compasses, often offered as a complete set, were designed for precise tracing, measurement transfers, and graphic construction work.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The instruments show signs of use, small marks, and surface wear consistent with their use. The case shows significant wear on the black covering, with rubbing, missing edges, and a use-related patina; the blue interior also shows traces, dust, and textile wear. However, the set retains its decorative and functional character as an old drawing kit.
