Newman & Guardia Deluxe
The Newman & Guardia Deluxe is an early British-made plate camera from the London maker Newman & Guardia, dating to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century era of folding hand-and-stand cameras. Positioned as a premium tool when new, it sat in the higher tier of the maker's range alongside other plate-format models aimed at advanced amateurs and professionals.
Auction evidence for the Newman & Guardia Deluxe is thin: a single UK saleroom result from November 2023 saw an example sell for £525 at the hammer (wholesale level, before commission). On that limited basis, the Deluxe's value as of 2026 sits around the mid-hundreds of pounds, and what it sells for on any given day is sensitive to completeness of fittings, plate holders and case. Buyers researching what a Newman & Guardia Deluxe is worth today should treat this figure as indicative rather than a firm market price.
