Sanderson Hand & Stand (deluxe)
The Sanderson Hand & Stand (deluxe) is a British folding plate camera, a higher-trim variant of Sanderson's long-running Hand & Stand line of mahogany and brass field/hand cameras. It was positioned as a premium model for professional and serious amateur plate photography in the early twentieth century.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Sanderson Hand & Stand (deluxe) have ranged from about £120 to £380, with a median around £140. As of 2026, the spread shows how condition-sensitive these wooden plate cameras are at saleroom level — clean examples with intact bellows and original fittings sell for considerably more than tired ones, and the deluxe trim itself can lift what a camera is worth versus the standard version.
