The Hasselblad Svea is an early stand camera associated with Victor Hasselblad's family photographic business in Sweden, predating the company's later medium-format roll-film system. It is a wood-and-brass plate camera of a type produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, sold through the Hasselblad retail and import operation rather than as part of the post-war V-system.

Sales data for the Svea is extremely thin, so any value figure today should be treated as indicative rather than a settled market price. The single recorded UK auction hammer result we hold is £420 from 2012, which gives a rough benchmark for what a complete example sells for at saleroom level rather than a retail asking price.
