Rentiers Two lens box camera
The Rentiers Two lens box camera is a Belgian box-form plate camera fitted with paired lenses, of a type produced for stereo or dual-image work in the early box-camera era.
Direct market evidence is extremely thin: a single UK auction record from 2002 shows a hammer price of £4,000, which sets the only documented saleroom benchmark rather than a reliable current value. Because that result is more than two decades old and no further hammer prices have surfaced, what this camera is worth in 2026 cannot be stated with confidence, and any present-day price would depend heavily on condition and on whether a comparable example resurfaces at auction.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
