Prices vary with size, condition, construction and intended use, so compare overall dimensions with the opening size before buying.

What to Look For

Check the measurements carefully, including the overall frame, aperture and depth, as porthole sizes are described inconsistently. Inspect photographs for dents, distortion, heavy wear, verdigris, cracks and signs of polishing that may have softened the detail. Confirm whether the glass is present, original-looking, flat or curved, and whether it is securely held; replacement glass can affect fitting and cost. Look for hinges, catches, bolts, mounting holes and internal threads, checking that they are complete and functional. Establish whether the piece is solid brass, brass-plated or another alloy, and ask about repairs, repainting or lacquer. For mirrors, confirm the backing, edge condition and hanging arrangements. Factor in UK delivery, weight and protective packaging.

Buying Tips

Compare the stated dimensions carefully, as listings may refer to the outer frame, opening or glass. Check photographs for dents, cracks, corrosion, loose fittings, replaced glass and later polishing, and confirm whether the piece is complete or sold without glass. Read descriptions for repairs, restoration and any marks, while treating age or maritime claims as descriptions to verify. Before buying, check postage costs, packaging arrangements and the seller’s returns policy, particularly for heavy or fragile brass items.
