Art Nouveau 14kt Expandable Lorgnette Glasses
About the Item
A spectacular lorgnette from the Art Nouveau (ca1900) period! Crafted in 14kt yellow gold, the piece consists of a pair of folding glasses encased in a breathtaking repousse lorgnette setting. The front and the back of the lorgnette are detailed with a winged cherub and a floral detail. A button below the cherub slides to release the expandable lorgnette. The glasses bridge displays a double fish motif. A gold ring (marked "14K") readies the lorgnette to hang from a favorite chain. This unique lorgnette would make a fabulous pendant!
The handle measures approximately 7/8" across at the widest point, and 9/32" at the thickest point. The retractible eyeglasses measure 3 13/16" wide when expanded and each lens measures 1 3/8" in diameter.

- Art Nouveau, 14 Karat Yellow Gold LorgnetteLocated in Brisbane, QLDThis Art Nouveau gold lorgnette likely originates from the United States during the first 20 years of the 20th Century. Crafted from 14 karat yellow gold the lorgnette is extremely simple in its design and is virtually void of ornamentation with the exception of some fine scrollwork around the lens casing. The lenses that are currently fitted are likely original, and whilst in-tact do have some abrasions to the surface of the glass. The piece is marked internally for 14 karat gold and also has a makers mark in the form of a Maltese cross inside a circle, which is currently unidentified. In good condition the piece only has some minor dents to the gold which are commensurate with age. Once a very frequently used object, this wondrous lorgnette would be a beautiful pendant on a long chain for someone wanting a piece of gold...Category
