Vintage Mother of Pearl Opera Glasses

About the Item

A glam throwback to evenings at the theatre—these vintage opera glasses by TASCO are as chic as they are collectible. Likely dating to the 1970s, this pair features a luminous mother-of-pearl finish with warm toned metal components, possibly brass or bronze, giving them an elegant, timeless look. Marked 8X on the frame, they offer crisp magnification and a beautiful balance of form and function. Whether displayed as a decorative object or tucked into a handbag for your next night at the opera, these glasses evoke classic style.
