Victorian Eye Glasses and Case - Stunning Gold Filled Decorative Spectacles in Beautiful Papier Mache Box
This is a lovely set of Victorian spectacles, very likely gold filled or rolled gold. They are beautifully decorated with diamond cut frames and gorgeous decorative etching along the arms of the glasses. The lenses are in beautiful condition with one small non-obvious chip to the side of one and it is hard to see their obvious age. They come in an original case made of black papier mache with beautiful inlay to the top with a central flourish as shown. It has a good push button opening and a lovely purple velvet interior which houses the spectacles beautifully. This is a gorgeous original set and in lovely antique condition. The case measures 6.6 inches long.
This is a very old antique item and as such will show signs of wear commensurate with age.
Please examine the photographs carefully and do feel free to ask any questions, I am happy to help.
