About the Item
A wonderful pair of folding eye glasses from the Victorian (ca1880s) era! Crafted in 14k yellow gold, the unusual piece depicts a pair of folding reading glasses encased in a breathtaking solid gold encasement. The encasement features intricate scrolling etchings, which add to the highly-detailed appeal of the piece. The end of the encasement features a large bail, which would allow the folding eyeglasses to be attached to a long chain. The eye glasses open mechanically with a small sliding mechanism at the middle of the thin encasement, allowing them to expand outwards. A true work of art, these eyeglasses would make a wonderful addition to any collection!
Measurements: When closed, the gold case measures 3 1/2" long and approximately 1 3/8" at the widest point. When opened, the space between the edges of the lenses measures 1" wide. When fully opened, the eye glasses measure 3 1/2" from end to end. The encasement measures 2 1/8" long.
Condition: The overall condition of the lorgnette is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold handle, encasement or to the eye glasses. The eye glasses fold and move easily and stay secure once placed in the gold cover. The sliding security mechanism is in excellent working condition.
