Recognized for superior optics and craftsmanship, the quality is evident in every detail. What truly sets this opera glass apart is its exceptionally rare design—the barrels are adorned with alternating panels of white and light purple mother of pearl, a luxurious and highly sought-after feature. This exquisite detailing extends to the focusing wheel, making it as beautiful as it is functional. Complementing the iridescent panels, the polished chrome metalwork enhances its timeless appeal.

Measuring 4 inches wide, 2.25 to 3 inches deep (when extended), and 1.75 inches high, these opera glasses have a refined yet substantial feel, indicative of their superior construction. Good antique condition with light signs of age-related wear and handling. The adjustment knob is very tight, likely from years of not being used and does take effort and force to turn. The leather case is in fair condition with splits at the side seams and the bottom is delicate. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

A true collector’s piece, these antique opera glasses are an extraordinary find, perfect for display, use, or as a treasured gift for lovers of fine antiques and historic craftsmanship. See less
