Wanderer’s Compass – Antiqued Brass Pocket Compass with Leather Case | Ten Thousand Villages

Not All Who Wander Are Lost—But It Helps to Have a Compass

The Wanderer’s Compass is a beautifully crafted antiqued brass pocket compass with a hand-stitched leather case, made by artisans at Noah’s Ark—a fair trade workshop in Moradabad, India founded in 1885. That founding year, along with the words “Pocket Compass,” is stamped directly into the lid—a small detail that carries a century and a half of craft history.

Whether it finds its way into a jacket pocket, a travel bag, or a display shelf, this compass is the kind of object that gets noticed—and kept.
