Elegant lorgnette, emblematic of the refined accessories of the Belle Époque, made of natural tortoiseshell with beautiful deep brown hues and brass.
Its gracefully curved shape, delicately designed, offers a pleasant grip and reflects meticulous craftsmanship. The folding mechanism is fully functional, and the two oval lenses, original, are present and unscratched, which is particularly noteworthy for this type of object.
The small central oval medallion, made of gilded metal, adds an extra decorative touch and enhances the charm of this reading accessory once indispensable to elegant ladies.
An object both utilitarian and decorative, ideal for a collection of antique accessories, a Belle Époque display case, or as a characterful, poetic piece.
