Mattioli Belle Gamine
The Mattioli Belle Gamine is an Italian-made camera produced by Mattioli, an Italian maker. It is a niche, collector-oriented model rather than a mainstream production camera, and surfaces only occasionally on the secondary market.
Auction data for the Belle Gamine is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result from 2021 saw one example fetch £1,600 at the hammer (wholesale level, before commissions). With only one verified data point, today's value should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable market price, and any fresh listing in 2026 could sell for materially more or less depending on condition and bidder interest.
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.
