Piggott Cheapside
The Piggott Cheapside is a 19th-century English camera associated with the London optical and photographic trade. It is collected today as a piece of early British photographic equipment rather than as a working tool.
Sales evidence for the Piggott Cheapside is thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from October 2017 saw an example sell for £168, and as of 2026 no further public sales have surfaced to refine that figure. With only one data point, what a Piggott Cheapside is worth today depends heavily on condition, completeness and bidder interest on the day, and the £168 hammer price should be read as an indicative wholesale level rather than a retail value.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Piggott Cheapside worth today?
On the only recorded UK auction sale, a Piggott Cheapside sold for a hammer price of £168 in October 2017; with so little data, the current value of a comparable example is best treated as broadly in that region, subject to condition.
How much does a Piggott Cheapside sell for at auction?
The single documented saleroom result is £168 hammer, so any quoted price or value for one should be understood as an estimate built on a very small sample.
Is the Piggott Cheapside rare?
Public auction appearances are scarce, with only one verified UK hammer result on file, which suggests limited supply but also limited demand data to anchor a firm market price.
