Gandolfi Universal

The Gandolfi Universal is a British-made wooden field camera, a hand-built large-format design from the long-running London workshop founded by Louis Gandolfi. It was offered in multiple film formats and configured to order, positioning it as a working professional's camera rather than a mass-market product.

Sales data for the Gandolfi Universal is thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £288 in October 2019 is the only recorded data point available to us today, so a reliable median or range cannot be established. Buyers asking what a Gandolfi Universal is worth in 2026 should treat that figure as indicative only; condition, format size, completeness of fittings and the presence of original lens boards all shift the price a clean example sells for at saleroom level.
