Antique Carved STANHOPES Ste. Anne De Beaupre Basilica of Quebec, Made in France
RARE antique souvenir of Quebec, Canada found in my Grandparent's home! Carved (most likely bone) binocular form stanhopes made in France of Ste. Anne de Beaupre, La Nouveayu Basilique, The New Basilica (both images resemble old ink sketches - left image Sainte Anne de Beaupre The New Basilica and right image Sainte Anne de Beaupre). I believe these date before 1922, as the Basilica experienced a fire that year and was rebuilt...this image is of the older structure. Total item measures less than 1" high and wide...given that size it is nearly impossible to photograph the inside images (see provided photo for closest rendering). Overall excellent condition - uncleaned, exactly as found (brass surrounds could be polished), clear images (St Anne on view has few faint cracks), from a smoke-free home.
