Goldmann Studio Camera (Atelierkamera)
The Goldmann Studio Camera (Atelierkamera) is a large-format wooden studio camera of the type used in professional portrait studios from the late 19th into the early 20th century. Built as a stand-mounted view camera, it was positioned for working photographers producing glass-plate negatives in a controlled studio setting.
With only a single tracked UK auction hammer result on record, pricing visibility for the Goldmann Atelierkamera is limited: the example we have logged sold for £2,200 at saleroom level (a wholesale figure, before commission, not a dealer retail price). On that basis, what a Goldmann Studio Camera is worth today depends heavily on completeness, condition of the bellows and woodwork, and whether period lenses or plate holders are included; comparable wooden studio cameras typically sell for far less when incomplete, so the £2,200 figure should be read as an indicator rather than a reliable median.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
