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 high-quality metal plated with a layer of gold, known for its lustrous shine. The frame is intricately designed with delicate enamel inserts adding a touch of antique charm.

The folding mechanism works well, and allows the spectacles to be easily opened or closed for storage and use. The handle attached to the frame is of good size and provides a comfortable grip.

In relatively good condition - a little plate loss to top side outer rim. A small chip in the bottom outer of each lens.
