Paris Jumelle

The Paris Jumelle is a binocular-style box camera from the late 19th to early 20th century, a format named for its resemblance to a pair of opera glasses. It was sold as a discreet stereo or single-lens plate camera for amateur use during the period when jumelle-style bodies were a recognised category in European photography.

Sales evidence for the Paris Jumelle is thin: a single UK auction hammer result in January 2024 saw one sell for £81, which is the only confirmed data point available today. Because this is a wholesale saleroom price rather than a dealer asking figure, retail values for comparable examples may be higher, and condition of the bellows, plate holders and optics will heavily influence what any given example is worth.
