Fleury-Hermagis Stereo
The Fleury-Hermagis Stereo is a French-made stereoscopic camera, designed to expose paired images for binocular viewing. Fleury-Hermagis was a Paris optical maker active in the 19th century, and stereo cameras of this lineage typically date to the wet-plate or early dry-plate era.
Sales data for this model is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £6,000 in June 2015 is the only data point available, so a meaningful price range cannot be established. With one sale on file, the value of a Fleury-Hermagis Stereo today is best confirmed by reviewing comparable saleroom results at the time of consignment rather than relying on a published median.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Fleury-Hermagis Stereo worth today?
The only recorded UK auction hammer price on file is £6,000 from June 2015; with just one sale, this should be treated as an indicative data point rather than a reliable market value.
How much does a Fleury-Hermagis Stereo sell for at auction?
Recorded sales are too sparse to quote a range, but the single hammer result on file sits at £6,000, reflecting the scarcity of early French stereo cameras.
Why is the price so high for one example?
Fleury-Hermagis was a 19th-century Parisian optical maker, and surviving stereo cameras from this period are rare, which supports strong prices when complete examples appear.
