The Pathé Frères Cinématographe (1897) is a late-19th-century motion picture camera from the early French cinema industry, dating from the medium's first commercial decade. It was produced for professional cinematographic use during the period when Pathé Frères was establishing itself as a major force in early film production and equipment manufacture.

Public UK auction data for this model is extremely thin: a single recorded hammer result at Christie's in 2004 reached £1,135, which remains the only reference point for what the camera sells for at saleroom level. With only one verified sale, any current value or price estimate in 2026 carries wide uncertainty, and what a Pathé Frères Cinématographe (1897) is worth today depends heavily on completeness, provenance and condition rather than a settled market median.
