A striking Georgian geometry set housed in its original shagreen case with silver fittings, dating to approximately 1790 once belonging to John Utterton, marked to the top. The case displays the characteristic green leather grain typical of the period, complemented by elegant silver hardware. Inside, brass and steel instruments remain—a testament to 18th-century craftsmanship and precision engineering. This incomplete set retains considerable charm and historical value, ideal for collectors of scientific instruments, Georgian antiques, or those seeking an authentic period piece with genuine patina. The shagreen case alone is a prized find, often more durable than leather and highly sought after by enthusiasts. A wonderful addition to any antique collection or display of mathematical and navigational heritage.
