Meagher Studio Camera

The Meagher Studio Camera is a British-made large-format studio plate camera from the late 19th century, produced for portrait and commercial work in a fixed studio setting. Meagher of London was known for substantial mahogany and brass field and studio cameras aimed at the professional trade.

Evidence on what a Meagher Studio Camera is worth today is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from January 2025 sold at £50, which sits at the low end of wholesale saleroom levels for cameras of this class. With only one recorded sale, no reliable median or range can be quoted, and the price a given example sells for will depend heavily on completeness, woodwork condition, and whether the original stand and plate backs are present.
