Farrow (E.H.) Field Camera
The E.H. Farrow Field Camera is a British-made wooden field camera, a folding large-format plate camera of the type produced for landscape and studio work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Sales data for this maker is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from March 2022 saw an example sell for £119, which is the only reference point available for what one is worth in today's wholesale saleroom market. With just one record, that figure should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable median, and condition of the woodwork, bellows and any accompanying lens will heavily influence what a Farrow field camera sells for.

Frequently asked questions
What is an E.H. Farrow Field Camera worth?
Based on the only UK auction hammer result on file, an example sold for £119 in 2022, so current value is broadly in that area but heavily condition-dependent.
How much does an E.H. Farrow Field Camera sell for at auction?
The single recorded UK saleroom price is £119, achieved in March 2022; with so few data points, the price any individual example fetches will vary with completeness and cosmetic condition.
Is the E.H. Farrow Field Camera a usable camera today?
As a wooden plate field camera it can in principle still be used with sheet film holders if the bellows are light-tight and a suitable lens is fitted, but practical use depends on the specific format and condition of the example.
