Description

A stunning pair of scarcely found opera glasses with a two drawer extendable lorgnette handle.
The glasses are French in origin dating to the late Victorian or Edwardian era c. 1890 /1910; a true antique pair.
They are clad in a magical and highly decorative Abalone shell (Haliotis iris). The panels on the barrels and the extendable lorgnette handle showcase bright, shifting flashes of peacock green, gold, pink, and electric violet.
Excellent condition and in full working order measuring 4 3/4" x 2" x 1 7/8" while folded up. A newer pouch is included for their protection.
