19th Century Faux Tortoise Shell Long Handled Lorgnette Glasses
About the Item
Late 19th Century imitation tortoise shell lorgnette magnifier glasses with a dramatic foldable long handle. A ring at the end of the handle can be used to attach the lorgnette to a chain for easy wear. Perfect for a dapper gent or a lady of leisure. No maker's mark.
