G-H  Bruguière de Gorgot Antique Scientific & Nautical Collections

Since 1981, I have devoted more than 43 years to the study, collection, and preservation of fine antique scientific and nautical instruments dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries.

Over these four decades, I have assembled an extensive private collection of rare and historically important globes, including terrestrial and celestial globes, pocket globes, armillary spheres, planetaria, and orreries.

The collection includes works by some of the most renowned globe makers in history, among them Blaeu, Hondius, Doppelmayr, Coronelli, Moll, Cary, Malby, Newton, Cruchley, Delamarche, and Dien.

I have also acquired and preserved a remarkable selection of scientific instruments, including microscopes, sundials, telescopes, backstaffs, sextants, octants, marine sandglasses, drawing instruments, and calculating devices.

Among the distinguished makers represented in the collection are Bion, Butterfield, Le Maire, Bloud, Langlois, Baradelle, Navarre, Jones, Newton, Nairne, and many others.

Since 1 January 2025, this website now serves as a presentation of selected items from my private collection, some of which may be available for acquisition or exchange with fellow collectors, institutions, and museums.

The objects presented here are part of collections assembled over more than four decades and are offered within the framework of the management and gradual dispersal of a private collection.

Only a limited selection is displayed online. Should you be searching for a specific scientific or nautical instrument, I would be pleased to hear from you.

Experience & Expertise

Throughout my career, I have advised collectors, institutions, and museums worldwide, and have had the privilege of supplying important private collections as well as leading international museums dedicated to the history of science and navigation.

My lifelong passion for scientific heritage continues today through research, collecting, and the preservation of historically significant instruments.
