A 1920s Art Deco silver folding lorgnette spectacles with marcasite and cabochon handle.
A lorgnette is a pair of eyeglasses or spectacles with a handle, designed for easy viewing and often associated with the fashionable elite of the 18th and 19th centuries. Typically used during the Victorian era, lorgnettes were favoured for their elegance and convenience, allowing users to discreetly observe events such as theatre performances or social gatherings.
Made from materials like metal, ivory, or tortoiseshell, they often featured decorative embellishments. Lorgnettes symbolise sophistication and the refinement of the period's social customs.
