Sanderson A-Pattern

The Sanderson A-Pattern is a British-made wooden field camera produced by Sanderson, a London maker active from the late 19th into the mid-20th century. It is a plate camera intended for use on a tripod, typical of the studio and field workflow of its era.

Hammer prices for the Sanderson A-Pattern at UK auction are limited, with one recorded saleroom result in April 2025 at £62. On the basis of that single data point, today's wholesale value sits at around £62, though condition of the bellows, woodwork and any accompanying lens will move what an example is worth and what it sells for.
