50707-Exquisite French Antique Opera Glasses with Leather Case

50707-Exquisite French Antique Opera Glasses with Leather Case This exquisite pair of 19th-century opera glasses (also known as lorgnettes) was immensely popular among the aristocracy and wealthy class of the era. Their primary function was to allow audiences to clearly view the details of performers and sets from a distance during operas, plays, or concerts. Simultaneously, they served as a significant fashion accessory and symbol of social status. The main body of the glasses is beautifully adorned with Mother-of-pearl (nacre), exhibiting a stunning iridescent sheen. The metal components are gold-plated brass. The set includes a well-preserved black leather case designed to protect the binoculars, complete with a delicate brass clasp. The bottom of the leather cover is soft leather, which can be folded slightly, and is equipped with exquisite brass buckles, but due to the long history, the brass buckle cannot be tight. The lens is well preserved, no wear, transparent and clear, the zoom is normal, and it can still be used. 數量內容content ：一個望遠鏡含皮套 A Opera Glasses with a leather case 尺寸size：不含皮套長L9.5x 寬W5.4x高H3.2cm 重量weight ：148g (含皮套with case 195g) 材質material ：珍珠母貝、黃銅、玻璃，皮革 Mother of pearl, brass, glass, leather 年份Year：1880 to 1910 產地from：法國France 印標hallmark：無 Reference code : W51013-2313 ⚠️ 請留意：皮套無法緊扣。古董或老件無論顏色與表面皆有歷史使用痕跡，若有任何問題，歡迎請來訊詢問。 ⚠️親愛的來自國外的朋友們，全球運輸提供安全包裝。 歡迎隨時與我們詢問運費相關事宜。 ⚠️ Please note: The leather case can't be fastened.。 Antique or vintage objects have historical wear&tear of use regardless of color and surface.
