4-Inch Brass Decorative Alidade with Compass Base – Wholesale Nautical Gifts

Give Curiosity a Place on Your Desk

Some people never stop asking what lies beyond the familiar. We create this decorative brass alidade for that enduring curiosity, a small nautical keepsake that gives a desk or collection a distinctive point of view.

A graduation, a new role, a thank-you to a mentor: the occasion is yours. Its meaning comes from the person you choose to celebrate and the words you want them to keep.

Small Scale, Intricate Character

• Polished brass construction with a golden appearance.
• Horizontal sighting tube held in a central support.
• Small upper tube detail.
• Graduated curved arc with adjustment-knob detail.
• Round compass-style base and circular scale.
• Small supporting feet with textured adjustment details.
• Nominal size: 4 inches.

We offer this as a decorative alidade for nautical collections, gifts and interior styling, not as a calibrated surveying instrument or a tool for precision navigation. We agree the overall height, base diameter and sighting-tube length with you during sample approval.

One Complete Decorative Piece

Our displayed standard price is for one complete alidade, not a pair or the whole wholesale order. We agree its complete component inventory, finish, measurements and actual and packed weight with your sample. Presentation cases, plaques and additional accessories are quoted separately when requested.

Wholesale for Curious Minds and Meaningful Milestones

As your manufacturer and wholesale supplier, we welcome nautical gift retailers, heritage decor stores, importers, distributors and corporate sourcing teams. Consider desk-gift collections, graduations, mentor appreciation and career milestones, with the recipient's story at the centre.

Standard wholesale MOQ: 100 complete alidades. Genuine B2B and corporate projects may discuss flexibility by prior agreement. Smaller quantities, mixed designs and alternate specifications require agreement. We agree sample availability, charges and dispatch terms before sample supply.

Your Words, Thoughtfully Placed

We can discuss a short name, date or company emblem on a suitable clear base surface or a separately quoted display plaque. We agree space and layout without covering scales, interfering with the compass presentation or altering moving components. Additional wording does not automatically replace existing markings.

Purchase our Aladean Personalization Add-On together with this alidade in the same cart for agreed personalization. Put exact wording, preferred language, requested component and surface in order notes.

This is a separately purchased service. We agree feasibility, artwork, script suitability, space, quantities, charges and timing. One add-on does not automatically cover every item in a wholesale order or multiple surfaces. Approve the digital mockup before customized production.

Sample Approval and International Supply

We review the polished finish, sighting-tube profile, support, graduated arc, compass base and feet with you. Together we agree dimensions, component inventory, intended use, weight and protective packing that safeguards projecting details.

Share your business details, quantity, destination and postal code, required date, intended collection and artwork brief. We agree receiving requirements, shipment terms, sample approval, production, dispatch and transit timing for your order. Freight and project deadlines are agreed individually. We commit only to what we can deliver.

Display on a stable, level surface away from edges. Support the base when moving; do not lift by the tube or arc. Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid immersion, abrasives and unapproved chemicals, and follow the finish-specific care agreed with your sample. Do not force knobs or moving details.
