LeMaire, Paris, Mother of Pearl Lorgnette Opera Glasses Exquisite, Rare
About the Item
This pair of opera glasses -created by what is indisputably the finest creator of opera glasses in history -LeMaire, of Paris, France- is uncommon because it retains the handle.
The handle for LeMaire opera glasses was designed to be easily removed so the glasses could be worn around the neck. But perhaps the handle was a bit too easy to remove -and lose.
This pair has the original handle, as you can see. The unusual golden tone of the mother wasmost likely harvested from the shell of the mollusk that produces the South Sea pearl. The brass gleams, and the pristine lenses have no mildew, no fogging and no flaws.
There are the expected signs of wear to the brass, but absolutely no damage or. compromise to the integrity. And, as I mentioned, the lenses remain optically supreme and immaculate.
An exquisite pair of opera glasses from the world's finest maker. In the most exoptic mother of pearl finish.
Because of the mother of pearl, these opera glasses can only be shipped within the United States.
