Binoculars / Opera Glasses Brass Leather, 19th Century

Antique Binoculars / Opera Glasses Brass Leather, 19th Century, Circa Seven Point Five by Twelve Centimeters, Slightly Fogged, Collector's Item

This charming, historical pair of binoculars is a compact piece of optical history from the nineteenth century, perfectly capturing the timeless style and elegance of that era. Crafted from sturdy brass and covered in dark leather, these opera glasses exude a special patina and dignity that tells their over one hundred year old story. There is no manufacturer's marking, and the choice of brass and leather reflects the typical standard of that time. The dimensions of the binoculars are approximately seven point five by twelve centimeters when closed and around ten point five by twelve centimeters when extended, making them a handy and decorative collector's item. The age-appropriate condition includes slight dents in the brass frame, particularly around the optical lenses, as well as a slightly worn mechanism and signs of use commensurate with age. Please note that the optics show slight scratches and one glass is slightly fogged, which nonetheless underscores the nostalgic character of this authentic unique piece. An ideal decorative item for lovers of the Victorian age and historical optics; signs of use commensurate with age.
