This exceptional antique French drafting set, elegantly branded “Compas Perfectionnés,” is a testament to precision craftsmanship from the late 19th to early 20th century. Encased in a sophisticated wooden box with deep crimson velvet interior, it houses an array of finely engineered compasses and accessories tailored for technical drawing or engineering work. Whether used by architects, draftsmen, or engineers of the period, each instrument speaks to the era's dedication to both function and form. The lid bears a charming golden crest imprint, while the removable tray reveals a hidden layer of handwritten notes, perhaps once belonging to the set’s original owner.

- Date: Circa 1880–1910
- Origin: France
- Brand: Compas Perfectionnés
- Contents: Multiple compasses, dividers, and attachments in fitted velvet tray
- Box material: Polished hardwood with brass lock and velvet lining

An outstanding piece for collectors, historians, or anyone passionate about the tools of classical precision.
