sizzling ! Vintage Antique 1800s Gold-Plated Lorgnette Eyeglass with Magnifying Spectacles!

These Vintage Antique Lorgnette Eyeglasses are like having a pair of eyeglasses that you lift to the eyes without having to wear them like spectacles. Often, they held magnified lenses that were superb for seeing events, such as an opera, more clearly. They were also bestselling as fashion accessories for the wealthy and privileged.

Primarily used from the 18th century onwards, this pair is from the late 1800s. These also fold for compactness and to keep them from becoming as easily bent or broken. This pair is also gold plated and works well.

I can imaging these framed shadow box style and hanging on the wall. Or, perhaps, set them among your smaller antique collectibles. They also make a magnificent accessory for steampunk, Victorian, or Alice mad hatter Halloween costumes and cosplay.
