Antique lorgnette dating from the late Victorian era

A lorgnette is a pair of glasses that are mounted onto a handle rather than sitting on the nose and fitting over the ears, and here is a very elegant antique lorgnette that can still be used today and looks as fashionable as ever.

Dating from the 1880’s, it was made in a base metal that has achieved a wonderful patina and adds to the charm and character. The detail is just incredible and will have you admiring it every time that you hold it. On the side when is a small lever, that once pressed allows the lens which itself is folded onto itself to spring out of the handle and open ready to use.

Measuring 71.6mm plus the link to hand off a chain, by 24mm wide when closed, this is such a fabulous piece that showcases how fabulous the Victorian era truly was.
