About the Item

This elegant pair of early 20th-century Swedish theater binoculars showcases a stunning combination of mother-of-pearl, brass, and fine optics, housed in a fitted black leather case with a plush red velvet interior. Designed for opera and theater-goers, these binoculars exemplify the refined craftsmanship and luxurious materials favored by early 20th-century European society. The telescopic barrels are beautifully clad in lustrous mother-of-pearl panels, which contrast against the warm brass framework. The finely machined focus adjustment wheel allows for smooth precision, ensuring a clear and magnified view of performances or distant subjects. The elegant curvature and compact design make these binoculars both a functional and decorative accessory, perfect for a collector of vintage optical instruments or lovers of historical fine arts objects. Accompanying the binoculars is the original fitted case, crafted from black leather with a hinged lid and lined in rich red velvet. The case features a gold-tone button clasp, securing the binoculars safely within. Over time, the leather exterior has developed a beautiful aged patina, adding to the historical charm of the piece.
