Horwood and Sons Drawing Instrument Set
This is a comprehensive drawing instrument set manufactured by Horwood and Sons of Clapton, London. The set is contained within its original fitted mahogany case, displaying a variety of brass and steel tools for technical drawing, geometry, and mathematical purposes. The instruments include compasses, dividers, a set square, and other specialised tools, all demonstrating the quality craftsmanship typical of the period.
Condition and Collectibility
The instruments show signs of age and use, with some patina and wear commensurate with their age. The case itself exhibits some wear and minor imperfections. This set would be of interest to collectors of antique scientific instruments, drafting tools, or those with an appreciation for Victorian-era craftsmanship. The set’s completeness and original presentation add to its appeal.
