Stanhope MicroWorks is a new company with an old history. Self-contained microphotos date to the late 1850's but have not been produced conventionally since the 1970's. Found in an infinite variety of objects; charms, canes, pocketknives etc. Subjects range from worldsfairs and tourist attractions to saints & sinners.
The MicroWorks evolved after years of research & collaboration in order to re-introduce Stanhopes. Our new lenses combine the best of both worlds - traditional components & new technology. This synthesis preserves the fascination of the early lenses along with crystal clear resolution of the microphotos. It allows true customization as far as subject matter and holder.
Single items such as a family portrait in a ring is as possible as advertising or collectibles by the hundreds. Stanhope MicroWorks has both, a stock of photos as well as objects to hold them. We are able to mount any microphoto in almost any object of personal choice.


Repair & Restoration.........We provide expert repair & restoration services for antique stanhopes. All of the restoration work that we do
is precisely executed with attention to 'historic
correctness' being our primary goal. As each restoration is unique due to the component nature of the stanhope itself, please contact us for more information as it pertains to your item(s).


History & Museum........Our SMW Library & Archives possesses one of the most comprehensive selections of information pertaining to microphotography & stanhopes.
