SF484 Georgian glasses, around 200 years old

Antique Georgian Oval Eyeglasses with folding straight Temples

A fine example of Georgian eyewear, these antique oval spectacles feature elegantly simple wire frames and folding straight temples designed to wrap comfortably around the ears. Lightweight yet durable, they are crafted with precision typical of mid to late 1800s optical design.

From the time of King George 1V and the industrial revolution.

The slender oval lenses and unadorned bridge suggest a utilitarian style popular among professionals and literate gentlemen of the Georgian era. The soft patina on the metal adds historical charm, while the folding temples ensure a secure and practical fit, perfect for daily wear in their own time, and now a sought after collectible or costume piece.

There is slight damage to the end of one temple, hence the £105 price tag.

• Authentic Georgian wire rimmed spectacles
• Classic oval lenses with crank bridge
• Folding temples for secure ear fit
• Gun metal with natural patina
• Lens diameter approx. 33mm
• In good antique condition, with gentle wear consistent with age, damage to temple end.
