An early 20th century cast metal and glass
opticians trade sign.
An early 20th century cast metal and glass
opticians trade sign, in the form of a quirky pair of spectacles. Made from
hand forged cast metal with red and blue glass lenses. A highly decorative
double-sided example that would have hung outside an optician’s store for many
years. Still with its original hanging arm and sign hanging chain in place.
Origin: EU
Material: Cast metal and glass
Age: 1910 – 1920
Size: Height 36” x Width 43” x Depth 1.5” including hanging chain.
A naturally aged item, that has stood the test of time
considering being outside for most of its life. As a result, its rusted metal and
the glass has also aged discolouring and rust stains across it. This item could
well have originally been painted gold at some point, however the painted
surface has all worn away.
Its exceedingly difficult to photograph all the areas
of these pieces, therefore we strongly suggest reviewing all the photos
provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are
unclear to avoid disappointment upon purchase.
