Santillana Brass Binoculars with Stand

Santillana Binoculars with Stand are a pair of binoculars from LoftModern Curations, mounted on a slim brass column above a round wooden base so they stand like a small desk sculpture.

At 10 in high with a 4 in footprint, they show off a rich mix of leather, brass and wood at a scale that suits a shelf.

The Design Story

Santillana looks like an explorer’s instrument given a place of honor. The barrels are wrapped in reddish-brown leather, with brass rings and focusing details that have a warm, worn glow. A single brass stem lifts them above a wide, pale wood base, and the dark leather and light base play against each other. The glass lenses face outward as if the scene beyond the window is the display.

Why You’ll Love It

The stand turns the binoculars into an object to see rather than put away. The weighted base keeps them steady. On a desk or shelf they add a note of travel and curiosity.

Questions We Hear Most

Are these meant to be used?

They are designed as a display piece. Treat them as a decorative object rather than a precision optical instrument.

Can I lift them off the stand?

They are mounted on a brass stem, so they are made to be displayed in place.

How do I clean the leather?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from water, heat and direct sun.

How do I care for the brass?

Dust it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and polishes.

What does the base look like?

It is a round, turned wood base in a warm, pale tone, with a rounded edge that frames the brass stem.

Why We Love It

Leather, brass and wood on a pedestal. Santillana is travel kept on the shelf.
