An eloquent example of the purest Parisian optical spirit, exquisite
design mixed with top quality manufacture and exotic materials, realized
in the 80' s by the elusive "Monsieur-Paris", some of the rarest
frames, very much sought after by collectors and wearers alike.
Extremely limited "Amberine" collection, size 135-57[]18, stem to stem inside width 140mm (5.5 inches).
Entirely
hand made reticulated Baltic amber French acetate ultra-light frame
(weighing only 21 grams, lenses included), elegantly complemented with
Gold plated temple stems, equipped with high performance hinge systems.
In
impeccable NOS, unused condition, presenting proper markings, comes
with original soft pouch (very rare and much appreciated by collectors).
Fitted with factory clear demo lenses that can be replaced with either prescription or sun lenses, for a super trendy look.
Estimated collection value $400-$425, offered here for a more affordable price.
"Monsieur Lunettes-Paris" although an ephemeral presence upon the
optical world's stage, their very few editions had an everlasting
effect upon the fashion industry, their designs becoming sources of
inspiration for the up and coming new "maitre lunettiers" (eyeglass
master makers) such as Jean Francois Rey, Alain Mikli, A Garighian,
later to become "sacred monsters" of the trade.
Thus, the
"Monsieur" frames, thanks to their original and classy design, add to
that the rarity factor due to the highly limited editions, have gained
in value as collectibles, but more so as wearable pieces of Optical
history.
Truly a work of optical Art, a frame that is unique in
its design, a super trendy look for the wearer that likes to stand out
in the crowd, in one word... MONSIEUR!
Note: We will replace the
nose-pads with new ones if needed, also, the temple stems can be easily
reshaped at the optician during the lens replacement.
