The Thornton-Pickard Amber is an early British plate camera, sold by Thornton-Pickard Manufacturing Co. of Altrincham, the firm best known for its roller-blind shutters. It belongs to the late-Victorian and Edwardian wave of folding and field plate cameras aimed at amateur photographers.

At UK auction in today's market the Amber is a low-value collectable: hammer prices recorded range from £100 to £160, with the two known results sitting either side of a roughly £130 midpoint. Because these are wholesale saleroom hammer figures rather than dealer retail, what a Thornton-Pickard Amber sells for in a shop window can be higher, and condition, completeness of the shutter and presence of a dark slide all materially affect value.
