Antique Victorian Magnifying Glass, Mother of Pearl, 18k Gold Filled, ca. 1890
About the Item
This magnifying glass is top of the line. The body is mother of pearl with segments of 18k gold filled decorations. There is a small marking on the body that reads "18GF. 18K Gold filled is the equivalent of a sandwich with 18K gold as the bread, and a base metal for the meat. This is much more desirable and costlier than just ordinary gold plate. The fine workmanship on the decorations is done in high style Victorian. The gilt bronze bezel which surrounds the glass has a fancy edge, a feature that is very rare to find and lifts the quality another level. One of the best examples from a bygone era.
