Lamperti& Garbagnat! Field Camera
The Lamperti & Garbagnati Field Camera is an Italian-made wooden field camera, a type of large-format folding plate camera intended for studio and outdoor use on a tripod.
Sales data for this maker is thin: a single UK auction record from 2005 shows a hammer price of £350 — a wholesale saleroom result before commission, not a retail figure. With only one data point on file, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than a firm market price, and condition of the woodwork, bellows and any included lens or plate holders will swing what an example actually sells for.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Lamperti & Garbagnati Field Camera worth?
Based on the limited record on file, an example sold at UK auction for £350. With only one data point, that figure should be treated as a rough guide to value rather than a firm market price.
How much does a Lamperti & Garbagnati Field Camera sell for today?
There is not enough recent sales data to give a reliable current price. The one auction result we have is £350 hammer, and condition and completeness will materially affect what any individual example sells for.
Is the Lamperti & Garbagnati Field Camera a user or a collector item?
It is a wooden large-format field camera, so it can in principle still be used with sheet film if the bellows and movements are sound, but most surviving examples are bought as collectors' pieces.
