Opera Glasses
These are a pair of vintage opera glasses, constructed with a brass body and featuring folding lenses. The design suggests a Victorian or early 20th-century origin, intended for use at the theatre or other performances. The glasses exhibit a classic aesthetic, with a central wheel for adjusting the distance between the lenses and providing focus.
Condition
These opera glasses show signs of age and use, with some patina and wear to the brass finish. The lenses exhibit some clouding consistent with age, and the folding mechanism may not function as smoothly as when new. Despite this, they remain a charming collectible, appealing to those interested in antique optical instruments or theatrical memorabilia.
