A lorgnette is a sophisticated and elegant accessory that combines functionality with timeless beauty. Popular during the 19th and early 20th centuries, they were designed to be held up to the eyes by a handle or rod, making them convenient for reading or viewing objects up close.

This lorgnette features a frame crafted from metal that has been double plated in layers of gold gilt, known for its lustrous shine.

The folding mechanism works well, and allows the spectacles to be easily opened or closed for storage and use. The attached ribbed section in the middle handle moves downwards to release the glass.
The handle attached to the frame is of good size providing a comfortable grip.
