Description

From France in the 1880's, this silver lorgnette is beautifully decorated, and in perfect condition.  The hallmark reads "900" with a fleur de lis.

There is a secret release on the stem which opens the glasses from the closed positiion.  A great early pair of "Readers" from yore to add to your collection!

Or dazzle everyone around you by pulling these out to read the fine print on your documents!

Bring back the Lorgnette!
