Roussel Stella Jumelle
The Roussel Stella Jumelle is an early stereoscopic 'jumelle' (binocular-style) plate camera, a body format associated with French manufacturers around the turn of the 20th century. Roussel was better known as a Paris optical maker, and the Stella Jumelle sits within the late-Victorian and Edwardian market for hand-held stereo plate cameras.
Auction data for the Stella Jumelle is extremely thin: the only recorded UK saleroom result we hold is a single hammer price of £240 from November 2007. With just one wholesale auction data point on file, it is not possible to quote a reliable current range or median value in 2026, and any figure today would depend heavily on completeness, optics condition, and the presence of original plate holders.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Roussel Stella Jumelle worth today?
Our records contain only one UK auction hammer result for this model, at £240 in 2007, which is not enough data to quote a reliable current price. Value today depends strongly on cosmetic condition, working shutter, and whether plate holders are included.
How much does a Roussel Stella Jumelle sell for at auction?
The single hammer price we have on file is £240, achieved at a UK saleroom. Without further comparable sales we cannot confirm whether that figure is representative of the current market.
Is the Roussel Stella Jumelle a stereo camera?
Yes — the 'Jumelle' designation refers to the twin-lens, binocular-shaped body format used for stereoscopic plate photography by several French makers of the period.
