Sanderson Hand & Stand (deluxe)

{"overview":"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. 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.","buying_guide":"Inspect the leather bellows for pinholes and cracking at the folds, as replacement is the single largest restoration cost. Check that the patented Sanderson front standard movements (rise, cross, and swing) lock firmly, that the mahogany body is free of splits, and that the brass fittings and any original shutter are present and functional.
