A lovely antique Art Deco (c.1920) sterling silver lorgnette, beautifully decorated with hand-engraved leaf and scroll patterns. The frames are made of high-grade 935 sterling silver and bear a stamped mark on the bridge. The handle is accented with jade-like green Bakelite decoration.

The lorgnette features two reading glasses (approximate power): Left lens (opposite the handle) ≈ +3.25 D, Right lens (closest to the handle) ≈ +3.5 D. Slightly asymmetrical lenses are typical of custom antique lorgnettes.

Supplied in a presentation box, suitable for display or gifting.


DIMENSIONS: The lorgnette opens out to 9.7cm (3 7/8"). Lens diameter 3.8cm (1 1/2"). Handle 3.5cm (1 3/8"). Approx.

WEIGHT: 25g

CONDITIONGood overall condition, except for a small chip to one lens (see last image). The folding and locking mechanism works perfectly with strong spring tension.
