Frames only, no lenses...
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 elusive
"Monsieur-Paris", some of the rarest frames, very much sought after by
collectors and wearers alike.
Extremely limited "Executive Havana" edition, size 135-55[]18, stem to stem inside width 136mm (5.4 inches).
Entirely
hand made medium Havana tortoise French acetate frame, elegantly ornate
with gold plated hinges and "M" logos on temple stems.
In
impeccable NOS, unused condition, presenting proper markings, comes with
original soft pouch (very rare and much appreciated by collectors).
Can be fitted with either prescription or sun lenses, for a super trendy look.
Estimated collection value $425-$450, offered here for a more affordable price.
"Monsieur Lunettes-Paris" was an ephemeral presence upon the optical
world's stage, however 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 much as collectables, 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.
