This beautiful antique pair of French opera glasses is marked “Lefils Sportier Paris” around both eyepieces. Compact in size and richly decorated, these glasses feature embossed metal scenic panels on each barrel — likely pressed tin or brass — depicting a romantic forest scene with deer. These ornate insets are rarely seen in such detail, making this piece especially desirable for collectors of antique optics and decorative objects.

Crafted with a brass body and nickel-plated accents, the glasses retain their original center focusing knob, which turns smoothly. The lenses are untested for clarity but appear intact and unchipped. Patina, oxidation, and light surface wear are present and consistent with age.

A lovely example of early 20th-century French craftsmanship, perfect for display or gifting.
