Description

Luxxoptica, a family-owned business renowned for its exquisite restoration of historical optics, presents a masterfully restored piece from Ross, the esteemed British optical manufacturer of WWII. This particular optical instrument stands as a testament to Luxxoptica's dedication to preserving the intricate details and functionality of historical artifacts.

 

The restoration process undertaken by the skilled craftsmen at Luxxoptica is nothing short of meticulous. Every surface of this Ross optical instrument has been attentively restored, involving countless hours of skilled labor. The craftsmen polish each component to achieve a brilliant, mirror-like finish, followed by a meticulous plating in nickel. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the piece but also ensures its longevity and durability.

 

Furthermore, the optics of this instrument, crucial to its functionality, have been fully restored to the original specifications. This painstaking attention to detail ensures that the instrument operates as effectively today as it did during the tumultuous times of World War II. This Ross optical instrument, originally mounted to an anti-aircraft gun, played a vital role in the defense of London during the air raids. It provided a critical advantage with its 3.5x magnification and a 50mm objective lens, allowing for precise sighting against enemy aircraft. 

 

Adding to its historical significance, this piece is mounted on an original antique Zeiss surveyor's tripod from the same era. The tripod itself is a marvel of engineering and design, providing a stable and sturdy base for the optical instrument.  Luxxoptica has further enhanced this piece with an exquisite custom-made articulating mount, allowing for smooth and precise adjustments. This combination of historical authenticity and modern functionality makes it not just a piece of military history, but also a work of art. 

 

This Ross optical instrument, revived by Luxxoptica, now stands as a remarkable and functional statement piece, a focal point in any room, and a prized possession for collectors and historians alike. It is a vivid reminder of the ingenuity and resilience of the past, brought back to life through Luxxoptica's unmatched craftsmanship.
