Bellieni Jumelle

The Bellieni Jumelle is an early French jumelle-style stereo and plate camera, built in the binocular-shaped format that was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was produced by the Bellieni workshop in Nancy and was positioned as a discreet hand camera for amateur use of its era.

UK auction hammer results for the Bellieni Jumelle are thin, with recorded sales spanning roughly £63 to £210 at saleroom level — wholesale prices that exclude buyer's and seller's premium. As of 2026, what a Jumelle is worth today varies sharply with completeness and cosmetic condition, and a clean, fully-fitted example sells for materially more than a stripped or damaged body.
