QUEEN VICTORIA COMPASS
Queen Victoria compass. The compass is an essential element that is used to find direction in places that are generally wild and lacking in urban references, since it has the characteristic of always pointing towards one of the cardinal points and it is very easy to know how to use it.
It is an instrument that is made up of a box whose bottom represents the compass rose, with all the cardinal points. Inside it there is a magnetized needle that rotates freely on an axis and that will always point to magnetic North.
This beautiful compass has a very special accessory and that is that underneath it there is a easily removable magnifying glass that is a perfect accessory, for example, in the art of navigation, since in addition to helping us with the course during the journey, it allows us to make more detailed observations, such as, for example, of the nautical chart.
It is a reproduction of the compasses that were manufactured in England during the 19th century to supply the British Royal Navy.
It comes in a beautiful walnut box and is accompanied by a brief booklet with a historical overview of the compass throughout the centuries.
It´s the perfect gift for lovers of the sea and nature and a beautiful decorative object for your library or office.
