French Opera Glasses

About the Item

A refined and elegant pair of late 19th century French opera glasses, crafted by the esteemed maker Lefils Paris. Exquisitely detailed in bronze doré and inlaid with glowing mother of pearl panels, these glasses capture the luxurious aesthetic of the Belle Époque. Delicately signed and beautifully preserved, they remain fully functional and could still be used at the theatre or opera. A collector’s gem and a symbol of Parisian sophistication, they are a charming example of fine optical craftsmanship and decorative artistry. France, circa 1880s.
